Ryan! Feddersen
This May lecture, sponsored by SFCC, features artist Ryan! Feddersen who specializes in creating compelling site-specific installations and public artworks which invite people to consider our relationships to history, culture, the land, and our nonhuman-kin. Feddersen completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Cornish College of Arts in 2009, and is now based in Tacoma, Washington. She grew up in Wenatchee and is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, from the Okanogan and Arrow Lakes bands, and of mixed European descent. Her practice focusses on create problem solving to address social issues through visual allegories that provide opportunities for exploration, introspection, and epiphany. She investigates creative strategies to activate engagement through interactive materials, community sourced content, social practice, fun and humor. These approaches enable her work to start conversations about a broad spectrum of subjects and promote collective learning. Feddersen has created large-scale site specific pieces and interactive installations throughout North America and has a growing body of permanent artworks in the public realm.


The Visiting Artist Lecture series invites artists, critics, and curators from around the world, loosely linking them by theme of a particular interest. This series is provided with funding from a consortium; Spokane Falls Community College, Eastern Washington University and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture. All events are free and open to the public.
