Bio's for next week's speakers:

Keny Marshall. Keny builds kinetic, sometimes robotic art that plays 
with technology and how people relate to it. Hand-built devices are 
combined in seemingly ridiculous ways as a means of critiquing the 
increasingly invisible world that technology inhabits. Electric motors, 
surplus lab equipment, and scrap hardware are (re)sourced to build 
systems with transparent inner workings to counteract the “blackbox” 
nature of present technology. Currently Keny is the Coordinator of 
Special Projects for Phil Fraley Productions, where he manages teams of 
artists, blacksmiths, and fossil preparators in the fabrication, 
installation and rigging of large scale natural history museum exhibits.

Carin Mincemoyer. Carin is a sculptor and installation artist who 
currently lives and works in Pittsburgh. In her recent work, she has 
utilized recycled materials such as Styrofoam and plastic packaging to 
create works that examine the often contradictory desires that we look 
to the natural world to fulfill. She is the recipient of several awards, 
including a 2007 grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Fellowships 
from the PA Council on the Arts in 2002 and 2007 and an Individual 
Artist Award from the Pittsburgh Foundation. She currently works as an 
exhibits preparator for Phil Fraley Productions, where she prepares 
fossil specimens and creates natural history museum exhibits.
