SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Lecture: Nicki Green - Bodies\, Bodies\, Bodies
DESCRIPTION:Nicki Green – Bodies\, Bodies\, Bodies\nJoin us at deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture from Visiting Artist Nicki Green. Green will explore her practice through the lens of making and avoiding figuration. While not entirely figurative\, Green’s work engages questions surrounding the production of objects and bodies as linked to ideas of subjectivity. Using her practice as a throughline\, she’ll discuss functionality\, ceramic surface painting histories\, Jewish avoidance of making “graven images” and the complex nature of documenting the transgender body. \n \nNicki Green is a transdisciplinary artist working primarily in clay. Her sculptures\, ritual objects and various flat works explore topics of history preservation\, conceptual ornamentation and aesthetics of otherness. Often constructing heavily ornamented painted glaze surfaces and experimental\, organic building techniques\, Green explores material and object integrity by utilizing transness as a lens with which to look at the world. \nGreen has exhibited her work internationally\, notably at the New Museum\, New York; Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris\, France\, and The Contemporary Jewish Museum\, San Francisco. She has contributed texts to numerous publications including Transgender Studies Quarterly\, Fermenting Feminism\, Copenhagen and The Center for Arts Research publications\, University of Oregon\, Eugene. Green is a current Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grantee\, a 2022 Nancy Graves Foundation Fellow\, and was a 2020 Art Matters Fellow\, among other awards and residencies. Originally from New England\, she completed her BFA in sculpture from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2009 and her MFA in Art Practice from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2018. Green is currently a visiting professor at California State University\, Long Beach Center for Contemporary Ceramics.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: James Benjamin Franklin in Conversation with Beverly Fishman
DESCRIPTION:James Benjamin Franklin\, Sum\, 2022. \nJames Benjamin Franklin (MFA Painting 2017) is joined in conversation by Beverly Fishman who was Artist-in-Residence and Head of the Painting Department at Cranbrook Academy from 1992-2019. The introduction will be given by Andrew Blauvelt\, curator of  James Benjamin Franklin: Full Circle and Director of the Cranbrook Art Museum. The conversation is co-hosted by Martha Mysko and Willie Wayne Smith\, Co-heads of Painting and Artists-in-Residence at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Please RSVP using the form on Cranbrook Art Museum’s website. \nJames Benjamin Franklin (b. Tacoma\, Washington) is an artist based in Detroit\, Michigan. His distinctive canvases push the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Franklin received his BFA from Art Center College of Design\, Los Angeles\, in 1999 and his MFA in Painting in 2017 from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan. His work has been featured in exhibitions at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft\, Louisville; FRONT International\, the Cleveland Institute of Art\, Ohio; Night Gallery\, Los Angeles; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Detroit; and Proyectos Monclova\, Mexico City. His work has been featured in Bomb Magazine\, Galerie Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, and the New York Times. The artist is represented by Reyes | Finn Gallery\, Detroit\, Michigan.  \nBeverly Fishman is a multi-disciplined artist whose provocative\, visually electrifying oeuvre positions her as an authoritatively contemporary aesthetic voice. Combining the handmade with the industrial\, Fishman employs a variety of techniques to explore technological\, scientific\, and biological systems of perception and representation\, instigating constructive conversations about the ways people see their bodies and minds\, and construct their identities. \nFishman has relentlessly sought out new materials and processes in order to realize her evolving vision. Her materials list has included traditional supports such as wood\, paper\, blown glass\, and aluminum\, as well as more unconventional elements like cast resin\, mirrored Plexiglass\, powder-coat-ed metal\, and phosphorescent pigments. She also frequently uses mediums like chrome and urethane automotive paint that speak in conversation with the legacy of the Detroit area\, where she lived and worked as the Head of the Painting and Artist-in-Residence at Cranbrook Academy of Art from 1992 until 2019.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Carolina Caycedo - From the Bottom of the River
DESCRIPTION:Carolina Caycedo \nJoin us in the deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture from Visiting Artist\, Carolina Caycedo. Please enter the deSalle auditorium through the Cranbrook Academy of Art library entrance. The Cranbrook Art Museum galleries will be closed. \nIn her lecture\, From the Bottom of the River\, Caycedo will discuss her body of work that addresses humanity’s relationship with nature. Her innovative approach integrates her studio practice with actions in communities affected by mining\, damming\, and other resource extraction projects by corporations and governments. An essential element of this approach is spiritual fieldwork\, a process of developing relationships with the human and nonhuman entities of a particular place or field. Caycedo will share how this practice connects to new works commissioned by the Sun Valley Art Museum examining human-salmon relations along the Snake River. She will also present her ongoing research on just energy transitions in the Americas as a part of a forthcoming exhibition at the Vincent Price Art Museum for Pacific Standard Time 2024. \nCarolina Caycedo (b. 1978) is a Colombian\, London-born\, multidisciplinary artist known for her performances\, videos\, artist’s books\, sculptures\, and installations that examine environmental and social issues. Her work contributes to the construction of environmental historical memory as a fundamental element for non-repetition of violence against human and nonhuman entities. Caycedo is currently a nominee for the Artes Mundi 10 prize in Wales. She lives and works in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Matias del Campo - Neural Architecture - Design and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Matias del Campo \nJoin us in the deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture from Visiting Professor and Author\, Matias del Campo. Please enter the deSalle auditorium through the Cranbrook Academy of Art library entrance. The Cranbrook Art Museum galleries will be closed. \nIn his lecture\, Neural Architecture – Design and Artificial Intelligence\, Campo will provide an opportunity to survey the emerging field of Architecture and Artificial Intelligence\, and to reflect on the implications of a world increasingly entangled in questions of the agency\, culture\, and ethics of AI. The main goal of Neural Architecture is to understand how to interrogate artificial intelligence–a technological tool–in the field of architectural design\, traditionally a practice that combines humanities and visual arts. Matias del Campo\, the author of Neural Architecture is currently exploring specific applications of artificial intelligence in contemporary architecture\, focusing on their relationship to material and symbolic culture. AI has experienced explosive growth in recent years in a range of fields including architecture but its implications for the humanistic values that distinguish architecture from technology have yet to be measured.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Jovencio de la Paz
DESCRIPTION:Jovencio de la Paz \nJovencio de la Paz will discuss their work at the intersection of weaving and digital technology. Referencing the histories of computation\, and computer programming\, as well as the ancient technology of handloom weaving and the speculative futures proposed by science fiction\, de la Paz will share new and recent work and an in-depth view of their research to date. \nJovencio de la Paz is an artist\, weaver\, and educator. Their current work explores the intersecting histories of weaving and modern computers. Rhyming across millennia\, the stories of weaving and computation unfold as a space of speculation. Trained in traditional processes of weaving\, dye\, and stitch-work\, but reveling in the complexities and contradictions of digital culture\, de la Paz works to find relationships between concerns of language\, embodiment\, pattern\, and code with broad concerns of ancient technology\, speculative futures\, and the phenomenon of emergence. Jovencio is currently Associate Professor and Curricular Head of Fibers at the University of Oregon. \nJovencio de la Paz received a Master of Fine Art in Fiber from the Cranbrook Academy of Art (2012) and a Bachelor of Fine Art with an emphasis on Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2008). They have exhibited work in solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally\, most recently at the Museum of Art and Design in New York\, NY; Cranbrook Museum of Art in Bloomfield Hills\, MI; R & Company Gallery in New York\, NY; Vacation Gallery in New York\, NY; The 2019 Portland Biennial at Disjecta in Portland\, OR; The Museum of Craft and Folk-art in Los Angeles\, CA; The Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver\, CO; Seoul Arts Center\, Seoul\, South Korea; The Museum of Contemporary Craft\, Portland\, OR; The Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago; Uri Gallery\, Seoul\, South Korea\, among others.
