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: Nyeema Morgan (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Nyeema Morgan will provide a look into her interdisciplinary practice that has included large-scale drawings\, sculptural installation\, and print-based media. Referencing familiar artifacts like recipes\, book pages\, fables\, and canonical artworks\, Morgan reflects on personal and cultural economies of knowledge.

Her work has been exhibited at The Drawing Center; the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art; Marlborough Contemporary; Grant Wahlquist Gallery; Galerie Jeanroch Dard\, Paris\, France; and the CSS Bard Galleries/ Bard College\, NY.

SUMMARY:Swanson Lecture: Mabel O. Wilson (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Studio&: A Black Study\nThe “art of building” that is Architecture emerges concurrently with Europe’s colonial misadventures in Asia\, Africa\, and the Americas. Modernity builds its superior “culture” with its forms\, aesthetics\, and practices\, above and beyond the primitive\, savage\, barbarous\, backward\, folk\, and the racial other. If\, as poet Fred Moten posits “study is what you do with other people. It’s talking and walking around with other people\, working\, dancing\, suffering\, some irreducible convergence of all three\, held under the name of speculative practice\,” then the body of work—writings\, projects\, exhibitions\, and performances—by Mabel O. Wilson and her transdisciplinary practice Studio& asks: can the practice of architecture become a “Black study”? \nMabel O. Wilson is the Nancy and George E. Rupp Professor in Architecture and also a professor in African American and African Diaspora Studies at Columbia University where she also serves as the Director of the Institute for Research in African American Studies and co-directs Global Africa Lab. With her practice Studio&\, she is a collaborator in the architectural team that recently completed the Memorial to Enslaved African American Laborers at the University of Virginia. She’s a founding member of Who Builds Your Architecture? (WBYA?) a collective that advocates for fair labor practices on building sites worldwide. She has authored Begin with the Past: Building the National Museum of African American History and Culture (2017) and Negro Building: African Americans in the World of Fairs and Museums (2012). She co-edited with Irene Cheng and Charles Davis the recently published volume Race and Modern Architecture: From the Enlightenment to Today (2020).  For MoMA\, she is co-curator of the forthcoming exhibition (February 2021) Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America. \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: 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.
