Wyman Visiting Professors in Art to deliver public lecture

River Falls, Wis. -- Please join the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Art Department on Wednesday, April 12, from 6-7:30 p.m. in North Hall Auditorium for a free public lecture by Walker D. and Helen Bryant Wyman Visiting Professors artists Eric T. Kunsman and Lynn Bierbaum. 

Kunsman is a photographer, book artist, fine printmaker, educator, and collaborator. While Kunsman claims “[t]here’s no ‘given’ formula” for his work, he is interested in the unwritten stories of objects left behind in neglected, struggling landscapes from the American southwest to the upper northeast. His current work explores one of those relics: working payphones. 

Bierbaum, a UWRF alum (2017 BFA in photography and graphic design) and past assistant to Kunsman, is an alternative photographer and glass artist. Bierbaum specializes in wet plate collodion in combination with blown glass and uses optical properties to create and alter light in her image-making process. She is currently an MFA candidate in photography and related media at Rochester Institute of Technology.
