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. Robert F. Swanson and his wife and lifelong design partner\, Pipsan Saarinen Swanson\, founded their firm Swanson Associates in 1947 and worked on many exteriors and interiors\, including residences\, schools\, universities\, churches\, airports\, banks\, and government\, industrial and commercial projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Farid Rakun\, Marnie Briggs\, and Coco (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:From Jakarta to NYC via Cranbrook: on ruangrupa and Art Workers’ Inquiry\nFarid Rakun (CAA Architecture\, 2013) of ruangrupa (currently providing the artistic direction for the 2022 edition of Documenta in Kassel\, Germany) is joined by Marnie Briggs (CAA Print Media\, 2013) and Coco\, members of the New York-based Art Workers’ Inquiry\, to discuss the creation of ecosystems through artistic practice and organizing work. \nruangrupa is a Jakarta-based collective established in 2000. It is a non-profit organization that strives to support the idea of art within urban and cultural context by involving artists and other disciplines such as social sciences\, politics\, technology\, media\, etc\, to give critical observation and views towards Indonesian urban contemporary issues. ruangrupa also produce collaborative works in the form of art projects such as exhibition\, festival\, art lab\, workshop\, research\, as well as book\, magazine and online-journal publication. \nThe Art Workers’ Inquiry is an organizing group of art workers seeking to build power across New York’s vast arts industry. We define art workers as anyone whose labor contributes to the artistic production process\, from dancers to art handlers to bartenders at performance venues. We build connections and strengthen bonds of solidarity between art workers with the ultimate goal of building a new\, worker-run model of artistic labor. The Art Workers’ Inquiry formed in 2019 when we decided to create a survey based on the original 1880 workers’ inquiry compiled by Karl Marx. In addition to gathering research and forming a kind of ethnography of workers under capitalism\, the inquiry aimed to push and agitate—in its progression of questioning—the survey-taker to think about the political implications of revolt and revolution. Tailored to the concerns of art workers\, the first survey developed by the Art Workers’ Inquiry consists of seventy questions divided into twelve sections\, each centered on a topic such as labor\, profession\, or social reproduction. Our approach is interdisciplinary in order to expand our analysis of an industry that is extremely exploitative in part because it relies on the myth of “doing what you love.”

SUMMARY:Lecture: Jeanne Vaccaro (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Out of Distracted Vision\nThinking at the intersection of diagnostic and aesthetic taxonomies\, Out of distracted vision considers the artistic output of sexologist John Money and punk activist Chloe Dzubilo. Working in different moments\, one an authority\, the other an outsider\, both make experimental doodles and invent neologisms—like transeuphoria\, mindbrain\, and fuckology—to mediate the monotony of the sciences of sex. Taken together\, their visual artifacts illustrate the constraints of diagnosis and animate a psychedelic boredom in the administration of sex and gender. \nRegister for the webinar \nJeanne Vaccaro is a scholar-curator at the ONE Archives\, and faculty in the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Southern California. She received her Ph.D. in Performance Studies at New York University under the mentorship of José Muñoz. Her book in process\, Handmade: Feelings and Textures of Transgender\, considers the felt labor of making identity and was awarded the Arts Writers Grant by Creative Capital | the Andy Warhol Foundation. She is also the recipient of the Alan Bérubé prize for outstanding LGBT public history awarded by the American Historical Association. \nAt ONE\, Jeanne has organized public programs with Arthur Jafa and Tourmaline on speculative archives and Black futures and the symposium “What you don’t know about AIDS could fill a museum.” She recently curated Foucault on Acid\, an exhibition of paintings by Indigenous artist Grace Rosario\, staged with correspondence and photography documenting Foucault’s 1975 acid trip in Death Valley. The exhibition considers psychedelia\, ecology\, the university\, precarious labor conditions\, and anti-immigrant culture wars\, inviting exploration of how archival and desert imaginaries coordinate spaces of unfreedom and possibility. In the spring\, she is curating an exhibition at Human Resources Los Angeles with Xandra Ibarra\, lay my burden down\, that presents the archival collections of performance artists Bob Flanigan and Sheree Rose alongside Ibarra’s sculptural explorations of disability\, race\, and consent. Jeanne is also the recipient of a multi-year Getty Foundation grant to research and curate Scientia Sexualis\, a survey of contemporary artists whose work engages histories of sexuality in the sciences and confronts and reimagines sex and gender as sites of experimentation\, which will open at the ICA LA in 2024. \nJeanne is co-editor\, with Joan Lubin\, of a special issue of Social Text on the afterlives of American sexology\, and she has published scholarly writing and art criticism in GLQ\, Radical History Review\, Trap Door\, BOMB Magazine\, among other venues. She was a Queer | Art curatorial fellow\, and serves on the advisory board of NYC LGBT Center’s archive. With AJ Lewis she co-founded and co-organizes the New York City Trans Oral History Project\, a community archive partnership with the New York Public Library.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Jovencio de la Paz - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:Jovencio de la Paz \n*Due to inclement weather reports\, Jovencio de la Paz’s visit and lecture are canceled. We look forward to rescheduling!* \nJovencio de la Paz explores the interrelated histories of computer programming and hand-weaving by creating specialized computer software\, algorithms\, and other computational contexts for the Thread Controller 2 (TC2) Digital Jacquard Loom. Trained as a hand-weaver 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\, science fiction\, utopian versus dystopian vision\, speculative futures\, and the phenomenon of emergence. This lecture will provide an overview of the artist’s work\, as well as explore their research into the history of computer technology from the standpoint of weaving. \nJovencio de la Paz is an artist\, weaver\, and educator. Their current work explores the intersecting histories of weaving and modern computers. Rhyming across millenia\, 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 Assistant 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 Cranbrook Art Museum 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; Ditch Projects\, Springfield\, OR; The Art Gym\, Marylhusrt\, OR; ThreeWalls\, Chicago\, IL; The Museum of Contemporary Craft\, Portland\, OR; The Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago; Uri Gallery\, Seoul\, South Korea\, among others.

Trained in industrial design\, he is developing a new design language that synthesizes aspects of African culture. His practice is engaged with changing perceptions about African design along with exploring contemporary forms. Born in Kenya\, Jomo grew up in Ethiopia and moved to the US in 1987. In his early twenties\, he wrote a thesis about the future of African design in which he referred to architecture as an inspiration\, demonstrating that design language could draw on multifarious sources. Since then\, he has been committed to defining a modern approach to African furniture design and showing how designers from the diaspora can contribute to the international creative scene. Besides expanding his own practice\, Jomo is playing a vital role as one of the founding members of the Black Artists + Designers Guild\, (launched in 2018 by Malene Barnett) that aspires to bring more attention to black designers. Jomo’s work has been exhibited internationally\, including in Dubai\, Venice\, Milan\, Los Angeles and New York as well as Lagos\, Accra and Addis Ababa on the African continent and just in November at The Met in New York City.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Martha Wilson
DESCRIPTION:It only takes 50 years\nMartha Wilson will survey her work from 1971 to 2021\, starting with text-based work created while she was getting a MA in English at Dalhousie University in Halifax\, N.S. Canada\, to image/text and performance art work she created this year. \nRegister for this lecture \nMartha Wilson (b. 1947) is a pioneering feminist artist and gallery director\, who over the past four decades has created innovative photographic and video works that explore her female subjectivity through role-playing\, costume transformations\, and “invasions” of other people’s personae. She began making these videos and photo/text works in the early 1970s while in Halifax in Nova Scotia\, and further developed her performative and video-based practice after moving in 1974 to New York City.  In 1976 she founded and continues to direct Franklin Furnace Archive\, Inc\,\, an artist-run space that champions the exploration\, promotion and preservation of artists’ books\, installation art\, video\, online and performance art\, further challenging institutional norms\, the roles artists play within society\, and expectations about what constitutes acceptable art mediums. \nWilson is esteemed for both her solo artistic production and her maverick efforts to champion creative forms that are “vulnerable due to institutional neglect\, their ephemeral nature\, or politically unpopular content.” Described by New York Times critic Holland Cotter as one of “the half-dozen most important people for art in downtown Manhattan in the 1970s\,” Wilson remains what curator Peter Dykhuis calls a “creative presence as an arts administrator and cultural operative.” \nWritten into and out of art history according to the theories and convictions of the time\, Wilson first gained notoriety thanks to the attention of curator Lucy R. Lippard\, who placed Wilson’s early efforts within the context of conceptual art and the work of women artists. Commenting on Wilson’s first projects\, art historian Jayne Wark wrote in 2001: \nIn her conceptually based performance\, video and photo-text works\, Wilson masqueraded as a man in drag\, catalogued various body parts\, manipulated her appearance with makeup and explored the effects of “camera presence” in self-representation. Although this work was made in isolation from any feminist community\, it has been seen to contribute significantly to what would become feminism’s most enduring preoccupations: the investigation of identity and embodied subjectivity. \nWilson’s early work is now considered prescient. In addition to being regarded by many as prefiguring some of the ideas proposed in the 1980s by philosopher Judith Butler about gender performativity\, many of her photo-text pieces point to territory later mined by Cindy Sherman\, among many other contemporary artists. \nMartha Wilson joined P.P.O.W Gallery\, New York\, and mounted a solo exhibition\, “I have become my own worst fear\,” in September 2011.  In 2013\, Wilson received an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University.  In 2015\, she received the Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence\, administered by the Center for Curatorial Studies\, Bard College; the College Art Association’s Women’s Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award; and mounted her second solo exhibition at P.P.O.W Gallery.  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Adrian Wong
DESCRIPTION:Subjective Uncertainty And the Will to Render Messiness\nAdrian Wong will reflect on the operations of several recent and historical projects\, in relation to their strategies for generating new meanings from existing bodies of knowledge—with a focus on his collaborative engagements from 2010-2021. At a time in history when reason and facts are in marked decline\, this talk attempts to reconcile the cognitive dissonance produced by the instinct to knee-jerk into a defense of scientific consensus and a commitment to the spaces outside of empirical inquiry. \nWong was born and raised in Chicago\, Illinois in 1980. Originally trained in developmental psychology (MA\, Stanford ‘03)\, he pursued his post-graduate studies in sculpture (MFA\, Yale ‘05). He maintained a studio in Hong Kong from 2005 until 2018\, when he accepted his current position as Associate Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work has been exhibited at The Drawing Center (New York)\, Kuandu Museum (Taipei)\, Kunsthalle Wien\, Kunstverein (Hamburg)\, Palazzo Reale (Milan)\, Saatchi Gallery (London)\, and Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art (Rotterdam)—and can be found in public and private collections worldwide. \nRegister for this event at Cranbrook Art Museum
