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

SUMMARY:2024 Annual Swanson Public Lecture: Flores & Prats Architects - Emotional Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, January 25 for the 2024 Annual Swanson Lecture. This year’s lecture will be presented by Flores & Prats Architects. The lecture will be held in deSalle Auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum and is free and open to the public. \nAccording to Flores & Prats\, it is not only people that contain the memory of a place\, the buildings too are loaded with memories of the uses and lives that occupy them; the built fabric is a reflection of social behaviour. It speaks of a way of using the ground\, the sky\, as a way of inhabiting. To read the memory held in buildings and people is to think about a future that counts on that past. \nWhen a building is closed and abandoned\, it remains alive in the memories of those who live around it. The abandoned building is embedded with the civic and moral values that time has given it through its use\, containing the stories of the people who experienced the place over the years and have created an invisible constellation of social relationships that expand the influence of this construction to a universe around it\, including to those that may form future associations with its materiality and story. \nRecuperating and reusing an existing construction is to consider that it is part of an emotional heritage as much as a physical heritage\, and an effort should be made to keep these memories inside the building. This is a design decision of major ideological importance because for us the idea of patrimony has nothing to do with what is valuable or monumental\, it does not come from ‘pater’\, it cannot be imposed from above\, but instead arises from time and experience\, from what is radically collective. \nAbout Eva Prats & Ricardo Flores  \nEva Prats (Barcelona\, 1965) is an Architect for the School of Architecture of Barcelona\, and Doctor in Architecture for the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology RMIT. Ricardo Flores (Buenos Aires\, 1965) is an architect for the University of Buenos Aires\, Master in Urban Design and Doctor of Architecture for the School of Architecture of Barcelona. In 1998 Eva and Ricardo established Flores & Prats Architects\, an architectural studio dedicated to the confrontation of theory and academic practice with design and construction activity. The practice has worked throughout Europe on projects of adaptive reuse\, social housing\, and urban public spaces with neighbours’ participation.   \nFlores & Prats has received several national and international awards\, including the Grand Award in Architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts of London 2009\, the City of Barcelona Award 2016\, the City of Palma Award 2017\, the AD Architects of the Year 2018\, and the AR New into Old Award 2019. In addition\, Eva has been nominated for the Women in Architecture 2019\, awarded by the British magazines The Architectural Review and Architect’s Journal. The studio has also been nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Awards on several occasions\, and exhibited in the last five editions of La Biennale di Venezia\, including 2023 with their proposal ‘Emotional Heritage’ at Le Corderie dell’Arsenale.  \nBesides their professional practice\, Eva and Ricardo have been Professors of Design Studios at the School of Architecture of Barcelona since 2002\, and Eva Prats has been a Full Professor at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio since 2023.  \nSala Beckett Drama Centre Barcelona.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Simone ten Hompel
DESCRIPTION:Simone ten Hompel with Cranbrook Academy of Art Metalsmithing students during a workshop in November 2023. \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.

Materiality\, form\, and function construct meaning which is for front of her to explore in her work. As a metalsmith and artist\, Simone is interested in the processes of thinking and making that sit behind objects. Reading them and using that knowledge to explore how that making relates to our contemporary culture. Also\, she’s interested in how and what makes students tick and in the collaboration of learning wants to instill ownership of their learning into them. \nFor over 27 years she’s been teaching at the School of Art\, Architecture and Design of London Metropolitan University\, where she’s a Reader and supervises students studying PhDs and their MA by Project degree.
