SUMMARY:Lecture: Jon Kessler - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:Due to increasing COVID cases in NYC\, Jon Kessler’s lecture has been canceled. We will repost the event if it is able to be rescheduled. \nJon Kessler’s Life and Art\nDrawing on 40 years of work\, Kessler will present past and present sculptures and installations\, showing consistent themes expressed in different forms. \nRegister for the in-person lecture on the Cranbrook deSalle Auditorium on Cranbrook Art Museum’s website or watch online. \nBorn in 1957 in Yonkers\, NY\, Jon Kessler is an artist best known for his kinetic sculptures made with motors\, surveillance cameras and found objects. He has been showing his work regularly in the U.S. and abroad since his first exhibition at Artist’s Space in 1983. \nIn 2005 his immersive installation “The Palace at 4 AM” was exhibited at MoMA/PS1 and traveled to the Louisiana Museum (Copenhagen) and ZKM (Karlsruhe) and is permanently installed at the Phoenix Kulturstiftung/Sammlung Falckenberg (Hamburg). \nHis newest sculptures are “balancing acts” that slowly move with wind and viewer interaction. Bronze\, brass\, ceramics\, stainless steel\, and found porcelain figurines combine to form works which comment on ecological collapse and environmental precariousness. \nRecent activity includes the 2017 Whitney Biennial (New York)\, “L’Ennemi de Mon Ennemi” at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris)\, and the Guangzhou Triennal\, (Guangzhou). He is a Professor of Art at Columbia University where he has taught since 1994 and received his BFA from SUNY Purchase in 1980.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Jomo Toriko (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Jomo Tariku is an Ethiopian-American furniture designer based in Virginia\, USA. Trained in industrial design\, he is developing a new design language that synthesizes aspects of African culture. His practice is engaged with changing perceptions about African design along with exploring contemporary forms. Born in Kenya\, Jomo grew up in Ethiopia and moved to the US in 1987. In his early twenties\, he wrote a thesis about the future of African design in which he referred to architecture as an inspiration\, demonstrating that design language could draw on multifarious sources. Since then\, he has been committed to defining a modern approach to African furniture design and showing how designers from the diaspora can contribute to the international creative scene. Besides expanding his own practice\, Jomo is playing a vital role as one of the founding members of the Black Artists + Designers Guild\, (launched in 2018 by Malene Barnett) that aspires to bring more attention to black designers. Jomo’s work has been exhibited internationally\, including in Dubai\, Venice\, Milan\, Los Angeles and New York as well as Lagos\, Accra and Addis Ababa on the African continent and just in November at The Met in New York City.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Martha Wilson
DESCRIPTION:It only takes 50 years\nMartha Wilson will survey her work from 1971 to 2021\, starting with text-based work created while she was getting a MA in English at Dalhousie University in Halifax\, N.S. Canada\, to image/text and performance art work she created this year. \nRegister for this lecture \nMartha Wilson (b. 1947) is a pioneering feminist artist and gallery director\, who over the past four decades has created innovative photographic and video works that explore her female subjectivity through role-playing\, costume transformations\, and “invasions” of other people’s personae. She began making these videos and photo/text works in the early 1970s while in Halifax in Nova Scotia\, and further developed her performative and video-based practice after moving in 1974 to New York City.  In 1976 she founded and continues to direct Franklin Furnace Archive\, Inc\,\, an artist-run space that champions the exploration\, promotion and preservation of artists’ books\, installation art\, video\, online and performance art\, further challenging institutional norms\, the roles artists play within society\, and expectations about what constitutes acceptable art mediums. \nWilson is esteemed for both her solo artistic production and her maverick efforts to champion creative forms that are “vulnerable due to institutional neglect\, their ephemeral nature\, or politically unpopular content.” Described by New York Times critic Holland Cotter as one of “the half-dozen most important people for art in downtown Manhattan in the 1970s\,” Wilson remains what curator Peter Dykhuis calls a “creative presence as an arts administrator and cultural operative.” \nWritten into and out of art history according to the theories and convictions of the time\, Wilson first gained notoriety thanks to the attention of curator Lucy R. Lippard\, who placed Wilson’s early efforts within the context of conceptual art and the work of women artists. Commenting on Wilson’s first projects\, art historian Jayne Wark wrote in 2001: \nIn her conceptually based performance\, video and photo-text works\, Wilson masqueraded as a man in drag\, catalogued various body parts\, manipulated her appearance with makeup and explored the effects of “camera presence” in self-representation. Although this work was made in isolation from any feminist community\, it has been seen to contribute significantly to what would become feminism’s most enduring preoccupations: the investigation of identity and embodied subjectivity. \nWilson’s early work is now considered prescient. In addition to being regarded by many as prefiguring some of the ideas proposed in the 1980s by philosopher Judith Butler about gender performativity\, many of her photo-text pieces point to territory later mined by Cindy Sherman\, among many other contemporary artists. \nMartha Wilson joined P.P.O.W Gallery\, New York\, and mounted a solo exhibition\, “I have become my own worst fear\,” in September 2011.  In 2013\, Wilson received an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University.  In 2015\, she received the Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence\, administered by the Center for Curatorial Studies\, Bard College; the College Art Association’s Women’s Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award; and mounted her second solo exhibition at P.P.O.W Gallery.  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Adrian Wong
DESCRIPTION:Subjective Uncertainty And the Will to Render Messiness\nAdrian Wong will reflect on the operations of several recent and historical projects\, in relation to their strategies for generating new meanings from existing bodies of knowledge—with a focus on his collaborative engagements from 2010-2021. At a time in history when reason and facts are in marked decline\, this talk attempts to reconcile the cognitive dissonance produced by the instinct to knee-jerk into a defense of scientific consensus and a commitment to the spaces outside of empirical inquiry. \nWong was born and raised in Chicago\, Illinois in 1980. Originally trained in developmental psychology (MA\, Stanford ‘03)\, he pursued his post-graduate studies in sculpture (MFA\, Yale ‘05). He maintained a studio in Hong Kong from 2005 until 2018\, when he accepted his current position as Associate Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work has been exhibited at The Drawing Center (New York)\, Kuandu Museum (Taipei)\, Kunsthalle Wien\, Kunstverein (Hamburg)\, Palazzo Reale (Milan)\, Saatchi Gallery (London)\, and Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art (Rotterdam)—and can be found in public and private collections worldwide. \nRegister for this event at Cranbrook Art Museum

SUMMARY:Lecture: Suchitra Mattai (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Suchitra Mattai\, A topography of dreams\, 2021. Vintage saris\, animations\, fabric\, fringe\, tassels\, and acrylic\, dimensions variable. \nSuchitra Mattai is a multi-disciplinary artist of Indo-Caribbean descent. Her work explores how memory allows us to unravel and re-imagine historical narratives. She says\, “My primary pursuit is to give voice to people whose voices were once quieted.  Using both my own family’s ocean migrations and research on the period of colonial indentured labor during the 19th Century\, I seek to expand our sense of “history.” Re-writing this colonial history contributes to contemporary dialogue by making visible the struggles and perseverance of those who lived it.” \nMattai’s projects have included a commission for the Sharjah Biennial 14\, “State of the Art 2020” at Crystal Bridges Museum/the Momentary\, a Denver Art Museum and the Biennial of the Americas jointly sponsored installation\, a commission for the MCA’s Octopus Initiative\, solo exhibitions at the Boise Art Museum of Art (2021)\, K Contemporary Art (2020)\, Unit London (2022)\, Hollis Taggart NYC (2022)\, and the Center for Visual Arts\, Metropolitan State University of Denver (2018) and group exhibitions at Kavi Gupta Gallery (2021)\, Aicon Gallery (2021)\, Unit London ( 2021)\, Pen and Brush NYC (2019)\, and the San Antonio Museum of Art (2021).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Geoff Manaugh (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:On Burglars\, Earthquakes\, and Invisible Cities: Architectural Research Outside the Academy\nArchitectural and spatial research assumes different expectations and goals when pursued outside academia. We will discuss this with a focus on three recent interdisciplinary projects: mapping a potential new plate-tectonic boundary in the California desert\, tracking the role of burglars in revealing the limits of the built environment\, and redefining architectural ruins in today’s electromagnetic archaeology. \n\n\nGeoff Manaugh is a Los Angeles-based freelance writer and the author of A Burglar’s Guide to the City (2016). In 2004\, Manaugh launched the website BLDGBLOG\, dedicated to “architectural conjecture\, urban speculation\, and landscape futures.” In 2021\, his book Until Proven Safe: The History and Future of Quarantine\, written with Nicola Twilley—exploring 600 years of architecture\, suspicion\, isolation\, and uncertainty—will be published by Farrar\, Straus and Giroux/MCD. He lives in Los Angeles. \nThis research is partially funded by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:Lecture: J.R. Uretsky (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:J.R. Uretsky (she/they) is an artist\, performer\, musician and art curator living in Providence\, Rhode Island. Uretsky weaves performance\, music\, video\, puppetry\, and sculpture into emotionally charged\, affective artworks that shift seamlessly between autobiography and fiction. Uretsky’s work confronts viewers with expressive confessions that test the bounds of comfort\, personal space\, and acceptable presence. The characters that emerge through her performances are relatable yet also alien and non-specific\, forging an ambiguous space where emotion is the remaining constant. \nUretsky’s work was included in the 2013 DeCordova Biennial at The DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. She has also performed and exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston\, Art Basel in Miami\, Florida\, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University\, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum as well as the Museum of Art and Design in New York. Uretsky’s work has been published by print\, online and video journals such as Headmaster Magazine\, Gaga Stigmata\, Big Red & Shiny and ASPECT: The Chronicle of New Media Art. \nIn addition to being the curator at the New Bedford Art Museum\, Uretsky has curated exhibits at Artspace in New Haven\, Connecticut\, AS220 and the Wedding Cake House (Dirt Palace) in Providence\, Rhode Island\, and the Distillery Gallery in Boston\, Massachusetts. An active member of the Providence creative community\, Uretsky sits on the Dirt Palace Public Projects Board of Trustees.
