SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Leung Chi Wo - Material Narratives: Myths\, Memories\, and Senses
DESCRIPTION:Leung Chi Wo. Portrait by Ringo Tang. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, November 13 at 6pm for a free public lecture from artist Leung Chi Wo. In his presentation\, Leung will explore how his practice is shaped by the narratives embedded within the materials he uses. By playing with both reason and emotion\, he develops an open-ended\, non-conclusive narrative that transcends traditional modes of representation. \nLeung Chi Wo employs a diverse range of mediums—including photography\, text\, found objects\, performance\, and installation—to merge historical exploration with conceptual inquiry. His work questions memory\, power structures\, and the ambiguities of history. By synthesizing vintage objects\, archival materials\, and imagery\, Leung juxtaposes everyday moments with significant political events\, drawing attention to the tension between personal and collective histories. His research-based practice often probes the fissures and uncertainties in how history is constructed and narrated. \nPlease note Cranbrook Art Museum galleries will be closed. Enter deSalle Auditorium through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library. \nLeung Chi Wo\, Gather the Tears\, 2023. Aluminum alloy frames\, glass\, craft knives\, book\, music stand\, 137 x 62 x 62 cm.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Mike Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Mike Cloud is a painter\, associate professor\, and director of graduate studies in the department of art\, theory and practice at Northwestern University in Illinois. His 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. He will use his recent Guggenheim Fellowship to develop ‘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.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Aspen Golann & Christopher Kerr-Ayer
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Metalsmithing Department and 3D Design Department in welcoming Aspen Golann and Christopher Kerr-Ayer. Golann is an artist & furniture maker blending early American Furniture forms with sculpture and social practice\, and Kerr-Ayer is an artist & glassmaker whose work stretches from conceptual sculpture to functional housewares. In this joint lecture they will be speaking about their respective practices and craftsmanship. \nCranbrook Academy of Art’s 2023-24 Public Lecture Series is free and open to the public in the deSalle Auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum. \nAspen Golann is an artist & furniture maker blending early American furniture forms with sculpture and social practice. Trained as a 17th-19th century woodworker\, Aspen engages the moral complexity of reproduction furniture by appropriating the aesthetics and antiquarian processes of early America. Her artwork is exhibited nationally has been featured on NPR\, PBS and published in The New York Times\, Architectural Digest\, Elle\, Luxe\, Fine Woodworking\, and American Craft. She serves on the board of The Chairmaker’s Toolbox\, A Workshop of Our Own\, The Furniture Society\, and The Society of Arts + Crafts. She has received support for her work from The Windgate Foundation\, United Artists Foundation\, Winterthur Museum\, Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship and others and is the recipient of the 2023 Award in Craft from The Maxwell Hanrahan Foundation and The Mineck Furniture Fellowship from The Society of Arts & Crafts. \nIn 2020 Aspen founded The Chairmaker’s Toolbox—a project fostering access and equity in the field of chairmaking. In support of the project\, she has partnered with museums\, schools & chairmakers around the world. Aspen teaches craft workshops internationally and in the furniture department at The Rhode Island School of Design. She holds a degree in furniture making from The North Bennet Street School in Boston\, MA & lives and works in Southern New Hampshire with her partner. \nChristopher Kerr-Ayer was raised in rural Vermont. He started learning about glass in 2009\, as a Junior in High School. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Johnson State College\, Vt. Learning about and working with glass in a production studio setting gave Kerr-Ayer the time to practice and refine important skills for working with the material. His collegiate studies\, workshops\, and residencies have exposed him to a breadth of design\, aesthetic\, and history of glassmaking. His work stretches from conceptual sculpture to functional housewares. His interest in investigating the line between functional and nonfunctional objects is what drives him to make new work. He interprets everyday objects as a way to disassemble identity\, fragility\, and objects themselves. \nWorking for a number of glassmakers over the past decade has given Kerr-Ayer studio access to develop his work. His work includes functional housewares\, figurative\, and trompe l’oeil sculpture. He currently lives in Rollinsford\, NH\, where he maintains his studio practice\, as well as making objects for THE POOL GLASSWORKS\, his design forward housewares company.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Natalie Ball
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Ball \nJoin us at deSalle Auditorium on Tuesday\, April 9\, 2024\, at 6pm for a free\, public lecture from artist Natalie Ball. Cranbrook Academy of Art’s 2023-24 Public Lecture Series is free and open to the public in the deSalle Auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum. Please note the museum’s galleries will be closed\, enter through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library doors. \nNatalie Ball (*1980 in Portland) lives and works Chiloquin (Oregon). She received her M.F.A. in Painting & Printmaking from Yale University\, New Haven. \nNatalie Ball\, a citizen of the Klamath tribes\, is best-known for repurposing and re-contextualizing found materials and media that often confront the reductive narratives surrounding Native American identity. Working from her ancestral homelands in the rural community of Chiloquin\, Oregon\, Ball approaches her sculptural work to challenge the narrative surrounding the Native American experience and history. Ball’s use of materials is wide-ranging\, often incorporating traditional\, indigenous materials with found objects ranging from textiles\, leather\, beads\, and wood to coyote teeth\, hair\, fur\, and bone. It is this juxtaposition\, which sometimes bordering on the absurd that allows Ball to create a new auto-ethnographic narrative as she excavates hidden histories\, and dominant narratives to deconstruct them through a theoretical framework of auto-ethnography to move “Indian” outside of governing discourses to build a visual genealogy that refuses to line-up with the many constructed existences of Native Americans. \nNatalie Ball’s works are currently on view at the Rubell Museum in Miami\, Florida. In 2019 Ball had a solo exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum\, Seattle\, WA. \nSelected exhibitions include Vancouver Art Gallery; Sculpture Center New York; Museum of Northwest Art in Red Ink\, Washington; Instute of Modern Art in Brisbane\, Australien; Berkley Art Center; Museum of Contemporary Art Miami; La Biennale d´ Art Contemporaine Autochtone in Montréal\, Canada; Gagosian Gallery New York; Blum & Poe Gallery Los Angeles; Nino Mier Gallery Los Angeles; Half Gallery New York; Bortolami Gallery New York; Galerie Almine Rech Paris. \nWorks of Natalie Ball in the Collection of the Seattle Art Museum\, the Rubell Family Collection\, the Collection of Beth Rudy de Woody\, Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem among others. \nNatalie Ball received the 2020 Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant for Painters & Sculptors and the 2020 Hallie Ford Foundation Fellow from The Ford Family Foundation
