SUMMARY:Lecture: Tyree Guyton (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:2 + 2 = 8: Create your own reality\nTyree Guyton will share aspects of his journey as an exhibiting artist and as the founder of the Heidelberg Project\, including visuals/video from a private show that he curated for Black History Month. The president of the Heidelberg Project Jenenne Whitfield will assist in presenting parts the Heidelberg Project and visuals\, and she will field and participate in the Q & A portion of the presentation. \n“My art reflects how nothing (seemingly) becomes something.  My experiences have granted me knowledge of how to create art by seeing beauty in everything that exists.  I can see the evolution of life in everything\, in every minute second.  It’s the energy source that gives humans and all earthly creatures life and I believe my job is to create life on the canvas (whatever that may be).  My work is always changing to reflect the evolution of mankind.  This change or metamorphosis is both good and bad energy\, negative and positive energy\, all of which helps me to find balance in my work and my life.  My work is radical and very extreme.  It’s not about right or wrong\, or aesthetics.  Instead\, it asks questions:  Can it work in the space at that time? Is it true for me?  In this way\, I am creating my own reality.” \n– Tyree Guyton\, 2021

SUMMARY:Lecture: Jonathan González (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan González \nThe Smallest Unit is Each Other…\nSharing the developing research towards two works: The Smallest Unit is Each Other… and (r-2)2 + z2-LIFE = 1STILL \, González shares ephemera\, drafted works\, and citations of in-process material to elaborate upon their continued study in black revolutionary coordinates\, the built environment\, and the politics of materiality. Staying with the prescient dialogues of coalition aesthetics and abolition\, they offer a perspective towards mobilizing transdisciplinary practice and uses of liveness as social intervention. This lecture includes a presentation of video\, image\, and sound as well as a dialogue open to all attendees. \nJonathan González (they/them) is an artist working at the intersections of performance\, text\, sculpture\, and other time-based media from Queens\, New York. González’s work speculates on the political utility of the “stage” as a method to interface with publics upon systems of liveness\, objects\, and economies of being that construct the built environment. Their recent projects/collaborations include: 02020 (Performance Space New York)\, ZERO (Danspace Project)\, N**GGA F*GG*TS\, & WHAT I REALLY MEAN WHEN I SAY “I’M ABOUT TO BURN THIS F**KING BITCH DOWN. (region(es) mag)\, Not Total (homeschool PDX\, Yale Union x Paragon Arts Gallery)\, Working on Water in collaboration with Mario Gooden (Columbia School of Architecture)\, h/S: Jonathan González (CICCIO)\, Maroonage: Elaborations on the Stage and Staying Alive (Contact Quarterly)\, Lucifer Landing I & II (MoMA PS1 x Abrons Arts Center)\, black MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). Their curations include Sunday Service @ Knockdown Center and Movement Research Fall Festival: invisible material. Previously an LMCC Workspace Resident\, NARS Foundation AIR\, Jerome Foundation Fellow\, Mertz Gilmore Grantee\, Art Matters Fellow\, and Performance Art/Theater Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grantee. \nSponsored by the Sculpture Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art. \n  \nClick this link to join us on Zoom at the time of the lecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Nicole Fleetwood (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration investigates the impact of the carceral state on American life through the lens of art and visual culture. The multi-platform project grows out of a decade of research by Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood\, curator and professor of American Studies and Art History at Rutgers University. Marking Time  encompasses a highly praised book featuring close to 70 artists\, a major survey exhibition at MoMA PS1\, and ongoing public programs and collaborations highlighting artists working to end mass incarceration and issues impacting imprisoned people\, their loved ones and communities. \nMarking Time grows out of groundbreaking research on contemporary culture\, art\, and the carceral state including interviews with currently and formerly incarcerated artists. Each initiative of this ongoing project foregrounds the creativity\, activism\, coalition building\, and visions of freedom of directly impacted people. Working with meager supplies and in the harshest conditions\, imprisoned artists find ways to resist the brutality and isolation that prisons engender. Their bold works reveal new possibilities in American art and help to foster a society beyond imprisonment. \nNicole R. Fleetwood is a writer\, curator\, and professor of American Studies and Art History at Rutgers University\, New Brunswick. Her books are Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration (2020)\, On Racial Icons: Blackness and the Public Imagination (2015)\, and Troubling Vision: Performance\, Visuality\, and Blackness (2011).  She is co-editor of Aperture magazine’s “Prison Nation\,” a special issue focusing on photography’s role in documenting mass incarceration\, and co-curator of Aperture’s touring exhibition of the same title.  Fleetwood has co/curated exhibitions and programs on art and mass incarceration at the Andrew Freedman Home\, Aperture Foundation\, Cleveland Public Library\, Eastern State Penitentiary\, MoMA PS1\, Mural Arts Philadelphia\, the Zimmerli Art Museum\, and the Urban Justice Center.  Her work has been supported by the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center\, NYPL’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers\, ACLS\, Whiting Foundation\, Denniston Hill Residency\, Schomburg Center for Scholars-in-Residence\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, and the NEH. \nTameca Cole\, Locked in a Dark Calm\, 2016. Collection of Ellen Driscoll

SUMMARY:Lecture: Dr. Dora Apel (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Why We Need a National Lynching Memorial\nThis talk examines the controversy over a national lynching memorial and argues that how we remember the past is crucial to changing the present and future. The Memorial to Peace and Justice\, dedicated to the nation’s thousands of lynching victims\, and an accompanying museum on Black history from slavery to mass incarceration opened in Montgomery\, Alabama\, in the midst of resurgent white nationalism\, continuing attacks on Blacks and people of color\, debates over immigrants and refugees\, and controversies over Confederate monuments. What is the political basis of white supremacist ideology? What is the role of women in white supremacist ideology? How does the ongoing construction of memory inherently structure a collective way of knowing that changes our understanding of racial and ethnic oppression and the ongoing struggles for equality and social justice? \nDora Apel is a cultural critic and art historian who writes about politics\, culture\, and visual imagery. Her focus is on traumatic imagery and memory\, race and ethnicity\, gender and sexuality\, cities and ruins\, war and the failures of capitalism. She is the author of six books\, including Calling Memory into Place; Beautiful Terrible Ruins: Detroit and the Anxiety of Decline; War Culture and the Contest of Images; Imagery of Lynching: Black Men\, White Women\, and the Mob; Lynching Photographs (co-authored with Shawn Michelle Smith); and Memory Effects: The Holocaust and the Art of Secondary Witnessing. She is the W. Hawkins Ferry Endowed Chair Professor Emerita of Modern and Contemporary Art History at Wayne State  University. \nClick here to join the meeting at 5pm on January 19th.

SUMMARY:Critical Studies Lecture: Alpesh Kantilal Patel (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Alpesh Kantilal Patel. Photo: Sarah C. Blanchette \nMultiple and One: Global Queer Art Histories\nIn a 1974 essay\, poet and theorist Édouard Glissant presciently wrote that “diversity needs the presence of peoples\, no longer as objects to be swallowed up\, but with the intention of creating a new relation.” My forthcoming book project “Multiple and One: Global Queer Art Histories” allows for such new relations and affiliations to emerge among artworks. Drawing on concepts from Glissant’s rich lexicon such as “archipelago\,” “opacity\,” and “errantry\,” Patel will stage collisions and encounters between artworks exploring queer issues that may appear unrelated at first glance. He does so to enact\, perform\, and instantiate cross-cultural contexts for sexual artistic geographies\, and thereby brings into being a new world of intimacy and relationality across multiple times and spaces. \nAlpesh Kantilal Patel is associate professor of contemporary art and theory at Florida International University. His art historical scholarship\, curating and criticism reflect his queer\, anti-racist\, and transnational approach to contemporary art. He is the author of Productive failure: writing queer transnational South Asian art histories (2017) and co-editor of the forthcoming Storytellers of Art’s Histories and a special journal issue commemorating Okwui Enwezor for Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art (both 2021).  His next major book project is titled Multiple and One: Global Queer Art Histories. In 2016\, he was a critical studies fellow at Cranbrook Academy of Art. \nRegistration is required\, please use the RSVP button to register.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Beatriz Colomina (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Architecture in the Age of Pandemics: From Tuberculosis to COVID 19\nArchitecture and medicine have always been tightly interlinked. Architectural discourse weaves itself through theories of body and brain\, constructing the architect as a kind of doctor and the client as patient. Every age has its signature afflictions and each affliction has its architecture. The age of bacterial diseases\, particularly tuberculosis\, gave birth to modern architecture\, to white buildings detached from the “humid ground where disease breeds\,” as Le Corbusier put it. The discovery of streptomycin put an end to that age. \nIn the postwar years\, attention shifted to psychological problems. The architect was not seen just as a doctor but as a shrink\, the house not just a medical device for the prevention of disease\, but for providing psychological comfort\, “nervous health.” The twenty-first century is the age of neurological disorders: depression\, ADHD\, borderline personality disorders\, burnout syndrome and allergies—the “environmentally hypersensitive” unable to live in the modern world. But pandemics have returned. \nWith COVID-19\, a virus is completely reshaping architecture and urbanism and once again disease exposes the structural inequities of race\, class and gender. Will architectural discourse and practice likewise reshape itself? \nBeatriz Colomina is the Howard Crosby Butler Professor of the History of Architecture and the Founding Director of the Media and Modernity Program at Princeton University. She writes and curates on questions of design\, art\, sexuality and media. Her books include Sexuality and Space (Princeton Architectural Press\, 1992)\, Privacy and Publicity: Modern Architecture as Mass Media (MIT\, 1994)\, Domesticity at War (ACTAR and MIT\, 2006)\, Clip/Stamp/Fold: The Radical Architecture of Little Magazines with Craig Buckley (ACTAR\, 2010)\, Are We Human? Notes on an Archeology of Design with Mark Wigley ((Lars Müller\, 2016) and X-Ray Architecture (Lars Müller 2019) \nThis lecture is generously supported by the J. Robert F.
