Adam Bateman-Birch Creek Director
Adam Bateman was raised in Ephraim, Utah, a place with more turkeys than sheep, more sheep than people, and more blue sky than anywhere. He was formally educated at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah with a BA in English and a Spanish Minor, and at Pratt Institute in New York City with an MFA in sculpture. He speaks fluent Spanish, Portuguese, and English and thinks that the fundamentals of language hold the secrets of the universe, life, and everything. He stacks things, arranges things, writes things, attaches things, shapes things, connects things. He likes big buildings as much as he likes the desert panoramas of Utah. In addition to Utah, he’s lived in New York City, Union City, NJ, and Guatemala City, and traveled all around the North/Western half of the world. He’s shown art in three countries, eight states, and fifteen cities. He is currently working as a professional artist, freelance curator, and Director of Birch Creek Service Ranch, an artist residency program, which he co-founded with Eric Peterson. He fully expects to change the world (Utah) by connecting regional art and artists with the larger contemporary art world and by making Utah a relevant and important center for contemporary art.
