Meet the presenters of SPE’s 2027 Annual Conference! We’re excited to introduce Lynn Bierbaum, presenting “Reframing the Photographic Object: Historic Process in Contemporary Form.” “My artist talk traces the evolution of sculptural photography from its early material experiments to its contemporary resurgence, where image-making expands beyond the flat plane and into physical space. Historically, artists have pushed photography toward objecthood—through photograms and early cameraless techniques—laying the groundwork for today’s hybrid practices.” About the Presenter Lynn Bierbaum is a photographer and glass artist currently residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She believes that her interest in the art making process stems not only from viewing the world through the lens of a camera, but rather embracing the origin of the word photography, meaning “painting with light”. Her sculptural photographic work combines darkroom techniques in conjunction with blown glass, in order to warp and bend light to convey her personal perception of time and memory. Join us at the 2027 SPE Annual Conference to hear Lynn explore the intersection of sculptural form, historic photographic processes, blown glass, and contemporary technologies.
