SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Jay Heikes - Raspberry Puree
DESCRIPTION:Jay Heikes \nJoin Cranbrook Academy of Art at deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture with Jay Heikes on Tuesday\, December 2\, 2025. In his lecture\, Heikes will discuss his 2024 exhibition\, Devolve\, at Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York\, NY\, mutating into his 2025 exhibition\, Second Wave\, at Adams and Ollman in Portland\, OR. \nPlease note that Cranbrook Art Museum’s galleries will be closed. Enter the lecture through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library doors. \n\nThroughout his materially innovative and richly conceptual practice\, Jay Heikes continuously reimagines an atlas of signs and symbols and stories\, largely of his own devising. Drawing on art’s divergent histories—from the material and alchemical preoccupations of Arte Povera to the revolutionary critique of Russian Constructivism to the Romantic fascination with the sublime—Heikes examines themes of evolution and regeneration\, stasis and corrosion\, entropy and transformation.\n\nAcknowledging that there are no truly new ideas to be had\, Heikes turns to what has already been; his practice is in a continual state of borrowing\, transposing\, appropriating\, and reinterpreting old ideas and forms and narratives using a kaleidoscopic array of media\, remaining perpetually open to transformation within his work and within himself.\n\n\n\nHeikes’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Joslyn Art Museum\, Omaha\, NE; the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive\, CA; the Aspen Art Museum\, CO; and the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia\, PA. His work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Photography\, Chicago\, IL; the Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\, MN; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL; MoMA PS1\, Long Island City\, NY; the Bronx Museum of the Arts\, NY; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York\, NY. \nHe was also featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial\, curated by Chrissie Iles and Philippe Vergne\, at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York NY. Heikes earned an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from the University of Michigan. He lives in St. Paul and works in Minneapolis\, MN. \nSupport Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Public Lecture Series\, which invites a range of artists\, designers\, architects\, critics\, writers\, curators\, and other professionals of national and international stature\, by donating to our Annual Fund! \nJay HeikesPopular Creeps\, 2024oil paint and water-based ink on nylon screen45 1/4h x 33 1/4w x 1 7/8d in114.94h x 84.45w x 4.76d cmJH_017Courtesy of the artist\, Adams and Ollman Gallery.

DESCRIPTION:Tongji Philip Qian \nJoin us for a free\, public lecture from Visiting Artist Tongji Philip Qian. In his lecture\, The Diary of An Encounter Which Seemed to Have Never Happened\, he will discuss fluid interpretations of artist responsibilities\, locating and subsequently negotiating with the intersections among rigid “truth\,” package “identity\,” and time- and location-specific pursuit of freedom. \nTongji Philip Qian is a multidisciplinary artist and the co-founder of TPQ Studio.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Letha Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Letha Wilson \nJoin us in Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture by Letha Wilson. \nLetha Wilson will present a large selection of her artworks\, spanning over twenty years\, and share some of the inspirations\, ideas\, and interests behind her artistic practice. She will discuss her unique approach to landscape photography and how she combines it with sculptural processes and materials. Wilson frames her work at the intersection of photography and sculpture: she takes landscape photographs (often from the American West) and then physically manipulates them — folding\, tearing\, embedding them into concrete or steel — to challenge the flat-image convention. Her studio practice has a strong emphasis on material experimentation\, where tests and trials lead to discoveries and unexpected results. \nLetha Wilson was born in Hawaii\, raised in Greeley\, Colorado\, and currently lives and works in Taghkanic and Brooklyn\, New York. She received her BFA from Syracuse University and her MFA from Hunter College in New York City\, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2009. Her work has been shown at many venues including Mass MoCA\, North Adams\, MA; the Cantor Art Center at Stanford University\, CA; Columbus Museum of Art\, OH; the Center for Maine Contemporary Art\, Rockland; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum\, Lincoln\, MA; and the Nasher Museum at Duke University\, Durham\, NC. Solo and two-person exhibitions have been held at GRIMM Gallery in New York and London\, Galerie Christophe Gaillard\, Paris\, FR\, Higher Pictures Generations\, New York\, and Sperone Westwater\, New York. Her outdoor sculptures have been installed in the City of Las Vegas\, NV\, Riverside Park\, New York\, NY\, the Rochester Institute of Technology\, NY\, and the Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego\, CA. \nWilson has been awarded artist residencies at MacDowell\, Yaddo\, Walentas Studio Program\, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts\, and Headlands Center for the Arts\, and she received the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Photography in 2014 and 2019. For the academic year 2025\, Letha was appointed the Stuart B. Cooper Endowed Chair of Photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore (MICA). Her work has been reviewed in Artforum\, Art in America\, the New York Times\, The New Yorker\, and Artsy\, among others. Wilson’s artwork has been acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA\, The Loeb Center at Vassar College\, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University\, and the New York Public Library\, among others. \n  \nSupport Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Public Lecture Series\, which invites a range of artists\, designers\, architects\, critics\, writers\, curators\, and other professionals of national and international stature\, by donating to our Annual Fund!

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Bhakti Ziek - From Backstrap to Jacquard: The Influence of Technology on Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Bhakti Ziek \nJoin us in Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium on Tuesday\, October 7\, at 6pm for a free\, public lecture by Bhakti Ziek (MFA Fiber 1989)\, “From Backstrap to Jacquard: The Influence of Technology on Weaving.” \nAlthough the fundamentals of weaving have remained unchanged since its inception thousands of years ago (a warp thread is up or the warp thread is down)\, the technology of weaving has evolved from manual methods to digital technology. \nZiek has co-authored books on both the backstrap loom and Photoshop as a tool for jacquard design\, and she has experimented with many types of looms for her work. This lecture will take you through her journey as she explains how these tools have influenced her work\, and why she asks herself\, before starting a project\, “What is the appropriate loom/tool for this idea?” \nA graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Fiber program\, she will also discuss how her Cranbrook experience influenced her work and continues to reverberate in her life. \nSupport Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Public Lecture Series\, which invites a range of artists\, designers\, architects\, critics\, writers\, curators\, and other professionals of national and international stature\, by donating to our Annual Fund! \nBhakti Ziek\, Lexicon Series.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Kristen Morgin (POSTPONED!)
DESCRIPTION:Due to the campus-wide power outage\, tonight’s lecture has been postponed. We will update you on the new date as soon as it is rescheduled. We apologize for the inconvenience.  \nKristen Morgin \nKristen Morgin takes an unconventional approach to ceramics; her signature Trompe l’oeil sculptures and assemblages explore personal nostalgia\, obsolescence\, and the American dream. Her most recent drawings on paper\, previously a private part of her practice\, were exhibited for the first time in 2024 with Marc Selwyn Fine Art. \nMorgin’s drawings explore a wide variety of source material ranging from precise renderings of scientific images\, children’s book illustrations\, puppetry\, and folk art\, always mixing high and low culture with an intention to remove traditional hierarchies. \nHer relic-like sculptures range in scale from recreations of full-size cars and orchestral instruments to tiny knick-knacks and toys\, which appear as found objects but are raw\, unfired clay. Substituting paint and collage for the gloss of traditional ceramic glazes\, Morgin achieves a garage-sale aesthetic in which 20th-century pop culture icons like Popeye and Mighty Mouse preside and vintage playthings find new meaning. \nMorgin received a BA from California State University\, Hayward\, and an MFA in Ceramics from Alfred University.  She is a recipient of the 2011 Lamar Dodd Professorship of Art\, University of Georgia\, and the 2005 Joan Mitchell Award. \nMorgin’s work has been shown widely in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the permanent collections of Alfred University\, The Hammer Museum\, San Francisco Museum of Contemporary Art\, The Smithsonian American Museum of Art\, The Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art. \nThis Cranbrook Academy of Art lecture is free and open to the public at Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium. Please note that Cranbrook Art Museum’s galleries will not be open. Enter through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library entrance. \nKristen Morgin\, Dogs on Chains or Jenny\, I Got Your Number\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Mike Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Mike Cloud \nMike Cloud is a painter and serves as an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Art\, Theory\, and Practice at Northwestern University in Illinois. \n\n\n\n\n\nHis artistic practice encompasses the expanded field of painting and image-making. He dissects photographic and painterly forms\, scrambling text and re-aligning content to produce new breaks in legibility and new understandings. \nHis work examines paintings as objects within a broader cultural system of objects\, marks\, symbols\, motifs\, and forms. His expressive technique blurs and blends elements into aesthetic compositions that interrogate the politics\, contrivances\, and language of painting and the artist’s complicity in its system of functions. \nMike Cloud’s solo exhibitions include Called Ahead (2024) at Fahrenheit Madrid\, Spain; Tears in Abstraction (2019) and Bad Faith and Universal Technique (2014) at Thomas Erben Gallery\, New York; The Myth of Education (2018) at the Logan Center for the Arts in Chicago; and Special Projects: Mike Cloud (2005)\, MoMA PS1\, New York. Through a Guggenheim Fellowship\, he is developing Holistic Abstraction\, a new body of research\, writing\, and paintings inspired by ancient\, classical\, and religious diagrams of the universe that present modes of abstraction that take a holistic view of artistic ambition. \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Lecture: "Still / Todavía\," by Iris Eichenberg and Jimena Ríos
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the launch of “Still / Todavía\,” by Iris Eichenberg and Jimena Ríos\, the first in a series of jewelry books exploring how jewelry transforms our lives. \nThe first launch and lecture will take place on Sunday\, March 9 at 11:30am at Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium. \nAnne and Donald were together for thirty-seven years. Throughout their life together\, Donald gave Anne jewelry during their travels and commissioned rings and necklaces for her—pieces that served as evidence of their life and love. Following Anne’s passing in 2022\, Donald began wearing her jewelry almost every day. \nAs makers and educators\, we found ourselves looking beyond what contemporary jewelry captures. With this book and talk\, we would like to share that exploration with you—starting with pieces found in folklore\, religious jewelry\, and offerings\, leading up to examples of contemporary jewelry. These pieces can all be read as forms of testimony and proof; at the same time\, they serve as evidence of bonds marking rituals in a timeline. Through them\, the act of making becomes a way to materialize stories\, celebrate\, and heal. \nThe book will be available for purchase at the event\, while supplies last. \nStill / Todavía\nBy Iris Eichenberg & Jimena Ríos\n65 pages in English and Spanish\nGraphic design: Marcelo Morán\nPhotography: Eric Perry\nTaller Eloi\, 2025\nUSD $20 + shipping cost
