Join Miller ICA at Carnegie Mellon for a virtual tour and introduction to the exhibition, Dara Birnbaum: Journey, on view Aug 20-December 11, 2022.
Dara Birnbaum: Journey, is a survey of Dara Birnbaum’s influential practice. Over the past 45 years, Birnbaum’s work has consistently reclaimed power within and against dominant media paradigms that control access to information and transmit encoded ideologies.
Dara Birnbaum was born in New York in 1946 where she continues to live and work. Beginning in the 1970s, Dara Birnbaum’s trailblazing video, media, and installation work has addressed the ideological and aesthetic character of mass media imagery and has been considered fundamental to our understanding of the history of media art. She was one of the first artists to use manipulated television and media footage and is widely recognized as one of the most influential artists of her time.
