KU art faculty works on display

Three Kansas University School of Fine Arts Department of Art faculty members have their works on display at the Multidisciplinary Research Building (MRB) on KU’s Lawrence West Campus through fall 2007.

Yoonmi Nam, assistant professor of art; Matthew Burke, assistant professor of art; and Sean Bitters, assistant professor of art, were selected to display some of their work. Nam presents “Bamboo Forest” and a collection of monotypes. Burke will display “5 Months” and “Wedge.” Bitter’s works are titled “Cavity” and “Columnar.”

The original idea for the exhibition dates back to a conversation between James Roberts, vice provost for research, and Steve Hedden, dean of Fine Arts; the show is the first initiative of this kind at Kansas University. Judith McCrea, professor of painting and former chairwoman of the Department of Art, enacted and negotiated the details of the project, along with a 10-member selection committee from various disciplines and offices across the KU campus.
