Cranbrook Academy of Art X MOCAD: Karyn Olivier

In partnership with Cranbrook Academy of Art and Cranbrook Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) presents an artist talk featuring Karyn Olivier (MFA Ceramics 2001). The talk will be introduced by MOCAD’s Co-Director and Artistic Director Jova Lynne (MFA Photography 2017).

Exhibiting a journey through Olivier’s expansive career, the program also celebrates the impact of Cranbrook’s alumni network, while fostering dialogue across generations of artists working in and beyond the Detroit cultural landscape. 

Karyn Olivier creates sculptures, installations, and public art. Currently, Olivier is the Public Works Artist in Residence at the Free Library of Philadelphia and will present a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. She is a sculpture professor at Tyler School of Art and Architecture.

The event is free with museum admission.
