SUNY Potsdam Associate Professor of Art Iggy Beerbower exhibited a photograph titled "Into the Waves" in "Everything Then Is Now II - PLATFORM 0," presented in the Old Waiting Room at Peckham Rye Station in London. The invitation-only exhibition is part of the London Design Festival and was presented by SPIRA9 ART and the Casoria Contemporary Art Museum.
Why it matters
The exhibition places work by a New York state university faculty member within an international design festival. Its site-responsive approach ties the artwork to the history and physical character of the station's Old Waiting Room.
Beerbower earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2002 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Hartford in 1993. Her photographs have been exhibited at numerous galleries across the nation, though specific sales or attendance figures were not reported.
