Wyoming River Fugues
Margaret Cogswell
Art Museum University of Wyoming
Wyoming River Fugues is the seventh in a series of individually unique site-specific RIVER FUGUES projects which began in 2003 with “Cuyahoga Fugues” in Cleveland, Ohio.
Cogswell develops her RIVER FUGUES through extensive research that includes traveling to observe, listen and record both the general and specific landscapes; and search for that particular sound or image that captures the pulse of the rivers, the life and surrounding landscapes along rivers. Narratives from individuals who live or work along the rivers, or whose research and work focuses on the natural resources surrounding the rivers have informed the direction and development of Wyoming River Fugues. The resulting installation explores the complex relationship between Wyoming's natural, cultural, historic, engineered and industrial landscapes.
