Art Professor to Have Works Displayed in Two Exhibits
Posted on Thursday, April 1, 2010
Photo-collage/digital inkjet prints created by Krista Birnbaum, Westminster College assistant professor of art, will be displayed in two exhibits this month.
Birnbaum's pieces will be included in the "Emerge/Return" exhibit at the ROY G BIV Nonprofit Gallery for Emerging Artists April 3-24 in Columbus, Ohio. Artists for the two-person show were chosen by jury selection. A gallery hop opening will be held Saturday, April 3, from 7-10 p.m. and an artists' talk will close the exhibit Saturday, April 24, at 2:30 p.m.
Additional information on this exhibit is available at www.roygbivgallery.com.
Later in the month, Birnbaum's work will be included in "Artificial Selection," a group exhibition April 24-June 26 at 516 Arts in Albuquerque, N.M., with lead curator Rhiannon Mercer. This exhibit brings together art, science, myth, and technology to examine contemporary artists' responses to the processes of adaptation, mutation, and survival when the natural order distinguishing species or machine becomes less distinct. The work of local and national artists is featured in photography, painting, sculpture, interactive video, ceramics, installation, and robotics.

Birnbaum's work was most recently included in exhibits at Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago; Arlington Arts Center, Va.; Lexington Art League, Ky.; and the Buffalo Arts Studio, N.Y.
Birnbaum, who joined the Westminster faculty in 2008, earned an undergraduate degree from Miami University of Ohio and master's from Syracuse University.
