Beebe was born in Lakewood, Ohio, and attended Ohio State University and New York University. [5]
During his tenure at the Coney Island Museum, Beebe produced several collaborative installations. In fact, Beebe has said that he views museums themselves as a type of installation work. [6] Notable work at the Coney Island Museum included:
In 2014, Beebe worked with Joanna Ebenstein, Tracy Hurley Martin, Tonya Martin, and Colin Dickey to co-found the Morbid Anatomy Museum. [8] The museum was the result of a confluence of interests and ideas that the five held, and Beebe's experience in Coney Island provided the structural know-how to create a new institution. He then oversaw the design and construction of the museum (designed by Robert Kirkbride and Anthony Cohn) and helped produce the first exhibitions there.
