lobby projects is a new initiative by the Birmingham Museum of Art that invites contemporary artists to create site-specific commissions in the Museum’s main entrance.

lobby projects’ debut artist is Bethany Collins. A native of Montgomery, Alabama, Bethany is a multidisciplinary artist whose conceptually-driven work is fueled by critical exploration of how race and language interact. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at venues throughout the United States, including the Studio Museum in Harlem, the High Museum of Art, and the Flint Institute of Arts. She is currently living and working in Atlanta, Georgia.

lobby projects: Bethany Collins is organized by Wassan Al-Khudhairi, Hugh Kaul Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art

Opening reception: April 16, 2016 – 6:00-9:00PM (Artist talk: 6:00PM)
