SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Jay Heikes - Raspberry Puree
DESCRIPTION:Jay Heikes \nJoin Cranbrook Academy of Art at deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture with Jay Heikes on Tuesday\, December 2\, 2025. In his lecture\, Heikes will discuss his 2024 exhibition\, Devolve\, at Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York\, NY\, mutating into his 2025 exhibition\, Second Wave\, at Adams and Ollman in Portland\, OR. \nPlease note that Cranbrook Art Museum’s galleries will be closed. Enter the lecture through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library doors. \n\nThroughout his materially innovative and richly conceptual practice\, Jay Heikes continuously reimagines an atlas of signs and symbols and stories\, largely of his own devising. Drawing on art’s divergent histories—from the material and alchemical preoccupations of Arte Povera to the revolutionary critique of Russian Constructivism to the Romantic fascination with the sublime—Heikes examines themes of evolution and regeneration\, stasis and corrosion\, entropy and transformation.\n\nAcknowledging that there are no truly new ideas to be had\, Heikes turns to what has already been; his practice is in a continual state of borrowing\, transposing\, appropriating\, and reinterpreting old ideas and forms and narratives using a kaleidoscopic array of media\, remaining perpetually open to transformation within his work and within himself.\n\n\n\nHeikes’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Joslyn Art Museum\, Omaha\, NE; the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive\, CA; the Aspen Art Museum\, CO; and the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia\, PA. His work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Photography\, Chicago\, IL; the Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\, MN; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL; MoMA PS1\, Long Island City\, NY; the Bronx Museum of the Arts\, NY; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York\, NY. \nHe was also featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial\, curated by Chrissie Iles and Philippe Vergne\, at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York NY. Heikes earned an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from the University of Michigan. He lives in St. Paul and works in Minneapolis\, MN. \nSupport Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Public Lecture Series\, which invites a range of artists\, designers\, architects\, critics\, writers\, curators\, and other professionals of national and international stature\, by donating to our Annual Fund! \nJay HeikesPopular Creeps\, 2024oil paint and water-based ink on nylon screen45 1/4h x 33 1/4w x 1 7/8d in114.94h x 84.45w x 4.76d cmJH_017Courtesy of the artist\, Adams and Ollman Gallery.

DESCRIPTION:Tongji Philip Qian \nJoin us for a free\, public lecture from Visiting Artist Tongji Philip Qian. In his lecture\, The Diary of An Encounter Which Seemed to Have Never Happened\, he will discuss fluid interpretations of artist responsibilities\, locating and subsequently negotiating with the intersections among rigid “truth\,” package “identity\,” and time- and location-specific pursuit of freedom. \nTongji Philip Qian is a multidisciplinary artist and the co-founder of TPQ Studio. His artistic practice extends the limit of artmaking through conceptual lenses such as speed\, labor\, internationalism\, and immigration. His art writing\, on the other hand\, studies movements commonly associated with Minimalism\, Post-Minimalism\, and Conceptual art. \nTongji Philip Qian’s current exhibition\, Alloyed Commitments at the Logan Center for the Arts in Chicago.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Letha Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Letha Wilson \nJoin us in Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public lecture by Letha Wilson. \nLetha Wilson will present a large selection of her artworks\, spanning over twenty years\, and share some of the inspirations\, ideas\, and interests behind her artistic practice. She will discuss her unique approach to landscape photography and how she combines it with sculptural processes and materials. Wilson frames her work at the intersection of photography and sculpture: she takes landscape photographs (often from the American West) and then physically manipulates them — folding\, tearing\, embedding them into concrete or steel — to challenge the flat-image convention. Her studio practice has a strong emphasis on material experimentation\, where tests and trials lead to discoveries and unexpected results. \nLetha Wilson was born in Hawaii\, raised in Greeley\, Colorado\, and currently lives and works in Taghkanic and Brooklyn\, New York. She received her BFA from Syracuse University and her MFA from Hunter College in New York City\, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2009. Her work has been shown at many venues including Mass MoCA\, North Adams\, MA; the Cantor Art Center at Stanford University\, CA; Columbus Museum of Art\, OH; the Center for Maine Contemporary Art\, Rockland; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum\, Lincoln\, MA; and the Nasher Museum at Duke University\, Durham\, NC. Solo and two-person exhibitions have been held at GRIMM Gallery in New York and London\, Galerie Christophe Gaillard\, Paris\, FR\, Higher Pictures Generations\, New York\, and Sperone Westwater\, New York. Her outdoor sculptures have been installed in the City of Las Vegas\, NV\, Riverside Park\, New York\, NY\, the Rochester Institute of Technology\, NY\, and the Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego\, CA. \nWilson has been awarded artist residencies at MacDowell\, Yaddo\, Walentas Studio Program\, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts\, and Headlands Center for the Arts\, and she received the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Photography in 2014 and 2019. For the academic year 2025\, Letha was appointed the Stuart B. Cooper Endowed Chair of Photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore (MICA). Her work has been reviewed in Artforum\, Art in America\, the New York Times\, The New Yorker\, and Artsy\, among others. Wilson’s artwork has been acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA\, The Loeb Center at Vassar College\, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University\, and the New York Public Library\, among others. \n  \nSupport Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Public Lecture Series\, which invites a range of artists\, designers\, architects\, critics\, writers\, curators\, and other professionals of national and international stature\, by donating to our Annual Fund!

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Bhakti Ziek - From Backstrap to Jacquard: The Influence of Technology on Weaving
