WSU Fine Arts Visiting Artist Lecture Series presents: Kim Stringfellow

Lecture November 9th, 4:30pm in the Fine Arts Auditorium (room 5062)

Kim Stringfellow is an American artist, educator, and photographer based out of Joshua Tree, California. She is an associate professor at the San Diego State School of Art, Design, and Art History and received her MFA in Art and Technology from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Stringfellow’s work bridges cultural geography, public practice and experimental documentary into creative, socially engaged transmedia experiences that combine writing, photography, audio, video, installation, mapping and community engagement. These projects explore history of place while also examining how the landscapes we inhabit are culturally constructed. In particular, she is interested in the environmental repercussions of human presence and occupation within these spaces. By focusing on distinct subjects, communities or regions she attempts to foster a discussion of complex, interrelated issues for each site while attempting to expose human values and political agendas that form our collective understanding of these places.
