LANCE RYAN MCGOLDRICK

Lance Ryan McGoldrick is a multi-media artist working in a variety of nontraditional contexts. His work ranges from discrete objects to immersive environments, often created with combinations of found-objects, texture, light, and geometry. Incorporating youthful exuberance, his work explores environmental themes as a reflection of place and with a reverence for nature. His work appears in non-traditional spaces as well as in galleries, at festivals, and as public art installations. 

Lance holds a degree in Entrepreneurial Studies from the University of New Mexico. His enterprises have included the operation of a landscaping company and a screen-printing shop; he was also an award-winning display artist for Urban Outfitters. He often collaborates with other artists, in particular the Albuquerque-based non-profit Friends of the Orphan Signs. He works most often with the internationally-acclaimed art collective Meow Wolf building immersive environments in New Mexico, Las Vegas, Denver, and elsewhere. 

Born in the mountains of Placitas, New Mexico, Lance has lived most of his life in Albuquerque where his parents, grandparents, and larger community nurture a love of art and nature. 

Photos of Lance McGoldrick’s project for The Space(s) Between are coming soon! In the meantime take a look at a mock-up of what will be an outdoor site-specific installation titled, Flowerbed, 2021.

McGoldrick says, “ Every act of creation is also an act of destruction. For this installation, I will construct a bed of flowers and invite the viewer to lay on them. This work encourages a reimagining of our relationship with nature.” The artist wants to ask viewers how we make space for ourselves and while still leaving make space for nature?
