SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Lecture: Michael Lim -Sculptorly Sculpture?
DESCRIPTION:Michael Lim \nJoin Cranbrook Academy of Art at deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture from Visiting Artist Michael Lim. Please enter through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library entrance\, the galleries at Cranbrook Art Museum will be closed. \nIn the topography of (post-)contemporary art in the 21st century\, the re-emergence of sculptural or unmonumental objects has been attributed to the demise of installation art once flourished in the era of globalization\, particularly multimedia video installations\, which had developed a meta-criticism predicated on discursive site-specificity. However\, there are more fundamental drivers behind the resurgence of sculptural form. In a complex situation where 2D is perceived as 3D\, and 3D is perceived as 2D\, due to changes in the media landscape and changes in the post-industrial object-making process\, painterly painting and sculptural or ‘sculptorly’ sculpture are\, in effect\, addressing different aspects of the same problem: the crisis of human existence or existential crisis of all things.What historical challenges will today’s contemporary artists face\, who weave meta-objects using 21st-century ready-made products and their formative order as materials? Are a series of artistic attempts to find aesthetic value in utilitarian objects or functional structures\, and to extract and reconsolidate projected sentiments\, merely errors based on ignorance of design history? How are today’s museums and art institutions responding to these challenges?“At a time when artists may work without obligation to medium\, why choose the materials of sculpture? What does it mean for an artist to assume the role of sculptor today? And just what is at stake for a new generation committed to sculpture?” \n  \nMichael Lim is an Art & Design Historian. Formerly LGBTQ activist\, queer artist\, assistant curator at ArtSonje Center and Dong-A Ilbo Press Museum\, and editor-in-chief of SigongArt Publications and Art in Culture magazine\, in the late naughties and early 2010’s he published “Off Kilter: Notes from a Study of Contemporary Korean Artists\,” “SKMoMA Highlights: 350 Works from the Museum of Modern Art\, Seoul\, Korea” and “What is Art? – From the Modern to the Post-Contemporary.” Currently\, he is working on new titles – “The Post-Contemporary: Twilight of Modern & Postmodern Art\,” “New Perspective for Designers: Post-Contemporary Issues after the Death of Postmodernism\,” and “The Methods of 20th and 21st Century Art.” \n  \nThis lecture is curated by Daeun Kang (Sculpture 2023)\, sponsored by Studio Council and the BIPOC Student Union\, and supported by the Sculpture Department.

SUMMARY:Critical Studies Lecture: Laura Gutiérrez "Nao Bustamante’s Artistic Re-imaginings"
DESCRIPTION:Nao Bustamante Installation\, Marfa. \nNao Bustamante is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is very much rooted in deep research\, whether this be archival or otherwise. And through her performances\, installations\, and media work—she often overlays these art forms—she is also intent in making grand and/or minute statements about life and death\, and everything in between\, all the while never losing rage or joy\, and whatever other emotions may surface depending on the artistic pieces\, and what they may elicit. This presentation will serve as a brief introduction to some of Bustamante’s work. But rather than focusing on what I have already written and published on\, I will devote discuss three research-based projects that are invested in re-imaging the past\, in varying ways and which I argue is often done to move us (forward) with more ease and care. These three projects are ambitious in scope and are composed of different parts. The first one\, SILVER AND GOLD (2009)\, is a filmformance (a term coined by Bustamante) that can be briefly described as a meditation on our relationships to cinematic divas—particularly those of yesterday—through a brilliant layering of film and live performance; the second is SOLDADERA (ongoing since 2010) that consists of different elements and artistic forms as it reimagines the figure of the “women soldier” and brings her into the present and future; and the last one is BLOOM (ongoing since 2021)\, one of Bustamante’s most recent research-based art project in which she re-imagines the vaginal speculum at the same time that the multi-media project also tackles with the dark history of gynecological healthcare. \nLaura Gutiérrez \nLaura Gutiérrez is Associate Professor in Latinx Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research areas are Latinx performance\, visual culture\, queer studies\, and feminisms. Gutiérrez is the author of Performing Mexicanidad: Vendidas y Cabareteras on the Transnational Stage (recipient of an MLA book award) and has published on Latinx performance\, border art\, Mexican video art\, and Mexican political cabaret. She was a fellow in the Getty Scholars Program in LA (fall 2022) and currently holds a Provost’s Authors Fellowship (2022-2023) as she completes her monograph in progress Binding Intimacies in Contemporary Queer Latinx Performance and Visual Art. \n

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. In 2022\, Jovencio was awarded the prestigious United States Artists Fellowship for their significant contributions to the field of weaving.
