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.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Tanya Aguiñiga
DESCRIPTION:Fiber Art as Activism on the US/Mexico Border\nFiber-centered interventions through: performance\, site-specific installation\, community based collaborations\, and object making have helped Tanya Aguiñiga and others voice the emotions felt at the edge of two cultures. In the face of injustice\, fiber and textile techniques have been Aguiñiga’s companions in creating works of healing and empowerment. Join Tanya Aguiñiga in unpacking the specifics of why fiber and textile-based materials have been the most effective conduit for her to bridge worlds at the border. Together\, discuss design thinking\, a brief history of art at the border\, and explore fiber works by other artists carried out at the border. \nBest practices for community engagement guide will be provided to all participants. \n  \nTanya Aguiñiga was born in 1978 in San Diego\, California\, and raised in Tijuana\, Mexico. An artist\, designer\, and craftsperson\, Aguiñiga works with traditional craft materials like natural fibers and collaborates with other artists and activists to createsculptures\, installations\, performances\, and community-based art projects. Drawing on her upbringing as a binational citizen\, who daily crossed the border from Tijuana to San Diego for school\, Aguiñiga’s work speaks of the artist’s experience of her divided identity and aspires to tell the larger and often invisible stories of the transnational community. \nAguiñiga began her career by creating collaborative installations with the Border Art Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo\, an artist collective that addressed political and human rights issues at the U.S.-Mexico border. The artist co-built and for six years ran a community center in Tijuana\, aimed at bringing attention through arts initiatives to injustices that the local community faced. Aguiñiga has maintained this spirit of activism and community collaboration throughout her career\, going on to create many performances and installations that involve the participation of other artists\, activists\, and community members. In her installations\, furniture\, and wearable designs\, Aguiñiga often works with cotton\, wool\, and other textiles\, drawing upon Mesoamerican weaving and traditional forms. In 2016\, in response to the deep polarization about the U.S.- Mexico border\, Aguiñiga created AMBOS (Art Made Between Opposite Sides)\, an\nongoing series of projects that provides a platform for binational artists. Her inaugural AMBOS project\, Border Quipu\, used brightly colored strands of fabric to create quipu—an Andean pre-Columbian organizational system—that recorded the daily commutes to and from the United States. \nTanya Aguiñiga holds an MFA in furniture design from Rhode Island School of Design and a BA from San Diego State University. She was just awarded the Heinz Award in\nArts and Humanities (2021)\, is a United States Artists Target Fellow in the field of crafts and traditional arts\, a National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures awardee\,\nCreative Capital grant awardee\, and a recipient of an Americans for the Arts Johnson Fellowship for Artists Transforming Communities. She has had major solo exhibitions at the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, Washington\, DC (2018); Museum of Arts and Design\, New York (2018); among others. Her work is in the permanent collections of LACMA\, Hammer Museum\, Milwaukee Art Museum\, Mint Museum\, Smithsonian\, Pittsburg Museum\, Museum of Arts and Design among others. Aguiñiga lives in Los Angeles\, California.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Kelefa Sanneh
DESCRIPTION:Break-Up Songs: How Popular Music Got So Divisive\nPeople love to talk about how popular music transcends boundaries and brings people together. I’m not so sure. I think that popular music has often pushed us apart. As listeners\, we often choose the kind of songs we like by figuring out what kind of songs we *don’t* like—and\, sometimes\, by figuring out what kind of people we don’t want to *be* like. The result has been a riot of styles and subcultures: punk rockers cherishing defiance\, techno obsessives chasing oblivion; R&B fans celebrating Blackness\, country fans grappling (or not) with whiteness. Especially in America\, we have lately grown used to hearing people bemoan our divisiveness. Is it possible that popular music shows us how we might appreciate that divisiveness\, instead? \nKelefa Sanneh is the author of “MAJOR LABELS: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres” (Penguin Press). He has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2008\, before which he spent six years as a pop-music critic at The New York Times. He is also a contributor to CBS Sunday Morning. Previously\, he was the deputy editor of Transition\, a journal of race and culture based at the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute at Harvard University. He lives in New York City with his family.

SUMMARY:Swanson Lecture: Peggy Deamer (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Peggy Deamer \nArchitecture Beyond Capitalism\nThis talk will examine how the discipline of architecture can move beyond its current principle function – decorating developers’ (or rich clients) buildings – and simultaneously work on the side of society and the empowerment of architectural workers. It will look at the roadblocks that make this work hard and rehearse efforts at workarounds and/or institutional change. \nJoin the Zoom Meeting at the time of the lecture \nPeggy Deamer is Professor Emerita of Yale University’s School of Architecture and principal in the firm of Deamer\, Studio.  She is a founding member of the Architecture Lobby\, a group advocating for the value of architectural design and labor. She is the editor of Architecture and Capitalism: 1845 to the Present and The Architect as Worker: Immaterial Labor\, the Creative Class\, and the Politics of Design and the author of Architecture and Labor. Articles by her have appeared in Log\, Avery Review\, e-Flux\, and Harvard Design Magazine amongst other journals. Her theory work explores the relationship between subjectivity\, design\, and labor in the current economy. She received the Architectural Record 2018 Women in Architecture Activist Award and the 2021 John Q. Hejduk Award. \n \nThis lecture is sponsored by the J. Robert F. Swanson Fund. \nThe J. Robert F. Swanson Lecture Fund at Cranbrook Academy of Art was established in 1983 by the family of J. Robert F. Swanson\, a noted architect who was also the son-in-law of Eliel Saarinen. Each year\, the Swanson Lecture brings to the Cranbrook campus architects\, designers\, artists or scholars who have received critical acclaim for their work and enjoy a sustained record of excellence and achievement in their respective field.  J.
