Sat. 9 Sept. 2023 | 3:15pm
William Noland has created discrete bodies of work in sculpture, photography and video over more than 45 years as a working artist. His work in sculpture has been made in conversation with the built world, exploring the intersection of sculpture, architecture and functional objects. His photography has pursued an expansive sense of what documentary work means and can convey. In his allusive, time-based video works, he records sound and moving images along with using found footage and salient voices from previously recorded materials.
An Emeritus Professor of Visual Art at Duke University, he taught sculpture, photography and filmmaking for 30 years. During that time he received a National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artist Fellowship in Sculpture, a Fulbright Scholar Award in Photography, and Josiah Charles Trent Memorial Foundation Grants for both photography and video. From 1995 to 2004 he worked for DoubleTake magazine, first as an editorial advisor in photography and subsequently as a contributing photographer. He was also a frequent participant in the annual Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, attending eleven seminars between 1999 and 2015.
