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: Jomo Toriko (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Jomo Tariku is an Ethiopian-American furniture designer based in Virginia\, USA. 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: Suchitra Mattai (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Suchitra Mattai\, A topography of dreams\, 2021. Vintage saris\, animations\, fabric\, fringe\, tassels\, and acrylic\, dimensions variable. \nSuchitra Mattai is a multi-disciplinary artist of Indo-Caribbean descent. Her work explores how memory allows us to unravel and re-imagine historical narratives. She says\, “My primary pursuit is to give voice to people whose voices were once quieted.  Using both my own family’s ocean migrations and research on the period of colonial indentured labor during the 19th Century\, I seek to expand our sense of “history.” Re-writing this colonial history contributes to contemporary dialogue by making visible the struggles and perseverance of those who lived it.” \nMattai’s projects have included a commission for the Sharjah Biennial 14\, “State of the Art 2020” at Crystal Bridges Museum/the Momentary\, a Denver Art Museum and the Biennial of the Americas jointly sponsored installation\, a commission for the MCA’s Octopus Initiative\, solo exhibitions at the Boise Art Museum of Art (2021)\, K Contemporary Art (2020)\, Unit London (2022)\, Hollis Taggart NYC (2022)\, and the Center for Visual Arts\, Metropolitan State University of Denver (2018) and group exhibitions at Kavi Gupta Gallery (2021)\, Aicon Gallery (2021)\, Unit London ( 2021)\, Pen and Brush NYC (2019)\, and the San Antonio Museum of Art (2021).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Geoff Manaugh (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:On Burglars\, Earthquakes\, and Invisible Cities: Architectural Research Outside the Academy\nArchitectural and spatial research assumes different expectations and goals when pursued outside academia. We will discuss this with a focus on three recent interdisciplinary projects: mapping a potential new plate-tectonic boundary in the California desert\, tracking the role of burglars in revealing the limits of the built environment\, and redefining architectural ruins in today’s electromagnetic archaeology. \n\n\nGeoff Manaugh is a Los Angeles-based freelance writer and the author of A Burglar’s Guide to the City (2016). In 2004\, Manaugh launched the website BLDGBLOG\, dedicated to “architectural conjecture\, urban speculation\, and landscape futures.” In 2021\, his book Until Proven Safe: The History and Future of Quarantine\, written with Nicola Twilley—exploring 600 years of architecture\, suspicion\, isolation\, and uncertainty—will be published by Farrar\, Straus and Giroux/MCD. He lives in Los Angeles. \nThis research is partially funded by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:Lecture: J.R. Uretsky (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:J.R. Uretsky (she/they) is an artist\, performer\, musician and art curator living in Providence\, Rhode Island. Uretsky weaves performance\, music\, video\, puppetry\, and sculpture into emotionally charged\, affective artworks that shift seamlessly between autobiography and fiction. Uretsky’s work confronts viewers with expressive confessions that test the bounds of comfort\, personal space\, and acceptable presence. The characters that emerge through her performances are relatable yet also alien and non-specific\, forging an ambiguous space where emotion is the remaining constant. \nUretsky’s work was included in the 2013 DeCordova Biennial at The DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. She has also performed and exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston\, Art Basel in Miami\, Florida\, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University\, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum as well as the Museum of Art and Design in New York. Uretsky’s work has been published by print\, online and video journals such as Headmaster Magazine\, Gaga Stigmata\, Big Red & Shiny and ASPECT: The Chronicle of New Media Art. \nIn addition to being the curator at the New Bedford Art Museum\, Uretsky has curated exhibits at Artspace in New Haven\, Connecticut\, AS220 and the Wedding Cake House (Dirt Palace) in Providence\, Rhode Island\, and the Distillery Gallery in Boston\, Massachusetts. An active member of the Providence creative community\, Uretsky sits on the Dirt Palace Public Projects Board of Trustees.
