Betsy Stirratt artist lecture

Betsy Stirratt’s creative practice focuses on themes about nature, collections and the environment. In "Embedded Histories", her exhibition at the McDonough Museum, she explores how natural and cultural objects are presented in collections and museum settings, and how we preserve, classify, and display them. She is the Founding Director of the Grunwald Gallery of Art at Indiana University Bloomington where she has curated exhibitions and published catalogs since 1987. She has exhibited her own work widely since 1983.
