Artist Beth Lipman has spent her career exploring history and humanity through material culture. Her exceptional laid tables and installations use the objects of everyday life to reference people and placemaking over time. Join University Museums to learn how Lipman’s artistic career led her to create Hive Mind, a new major public work of art on central campus dedicated to the past, present, and future of the impactful research and people at Iowa State University.
Funded by the Kathy and John Howell Art Enrichment Program.
