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. Jovencio regularly teaches at schools of art\, craft\, and design throughout the country\, such as the Ox Bow School of Art in Saugatuck\, Michigan\, the Haystack Mountain School of Craft in Deer Isle\, Maine\, and the Arrowmont School of Craft in Tennessee\, and is also a co-founder of the collaborative group Craft Mystery Cult\, established in 2010. \nRSVP for the in person lecture at deSalle auditorium on the Cranbrook Art Museum website.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Jon Kessler - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:Due to increasing COVID cases in NYC\, Jon Kessler’s lecture has been canceled. We will repost the event if it is able to be rescheduled. \nJon Kessler’s Life and Art\nDrawing on 40 years of work\, Kessler will present past and present sculptures and installations\, showing consistent themes expressed in different forms. \nRegister for the in-person lecture on the Cranbrook deSalle Auditorium on Cranbrook Art Museum’s website or watch online. \nBorn in 1957 in Yonkers\, NY\, Jon Kessler is an artist best known for his kinetic sculptures made with motors\, surveillance cameras and found objects. He has been showing his work regularly in the U.S. and abroad since his first exhibition at Artist’s Space in 1983. \nIn 2005 his immersive installation “The Palace at 4 AM” was exhibited at MoMA/PS1 and traveled to the Louisiana Museum (Copenhagen) and ZKM (Karlsruhe) and is permanently installed at the Phoenix Kulturstiftung/Sammlung Falckenberg (Hamburg). \nHis newest sculptures are “balancing acts” that slowly move with wind and viewer interaction. Bronze\, brass\, ceramics\, stainless steel\, and found porcelain figurines combine to form works which comment on ecological collapse and environmental precariousness. \nRecent activity includes the 2017 Whitney Biennial (New York)\, “L’Ennemi de Mon Ennemi” at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris)\, and the Guangzhou Triennal\, (Guangzhou). He is a Professor of Art at Columbia University where he has taught since 1994 and received his BFA from SUNY Purchase in 1980.
