They present the opportunity for the students to gain insights about their work from someone who has not seen daily development of the work and bring new ideas to the department discussion. Each year we have approximately 5 visiting artists/critics. A typical visit includes a public lecture about his or her work and one-on-one meetings with students in the department. On occasion we share a guest with another department or the Critical Studies program.<br />
Our most recent visiting critic was <a href="http://www.uc.edu/profiles/profile.asp?id=16450">Kate Bonansinga</a>, Director of the School of Art at the University of Cincinnati, the founding Director of the Rubin Center at the University of Texas, El Paso, and an independent curator. Through the Critical Studies Program Kate presented a seminar that explored the linkage between writing and making. She presented a lecture about how art functions in the cultural contexts of smaller regional cities like Cincinnati and El Paso and she met with all of the students in the Fiber Department.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-68016589853878516942013-10-24T08:48:00.003-07:002013-10-25T05:58:05.102-07:00Fiber takes TorontoLast week most of the Fiber Department traveled to Toronto for 4 days.

And we saw the exhibition<a href="http://www.artgalleryofmississauga.com/"> F*d Up at the Art Gallery of Mississauga</a>. The show included the work of Ed Pien, Anne Wilson, Kai Chan, and several others. Department travel is an important part of the program. It triggers many great discussions, provides information about artists and exhibition opportunities and helps us understand how artists fit into different communities.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-49724915088899038072013-10-13T18:08:00.000-07:002013-10-13T18:08:06.888-07:00Back to the blogAfter a few years off I am going to get back to posting on this blog.<br />
The school year is about 5 weeks old and very busy already. The Fiber Department started the year off with a lecture by <a href="http://www.surabhighosh.com/">Surabhi Ghosh</a>, Cranbrook Fiber alum and the Head of the fiber Department at the University of Oregon. She generously spoke about her recent work, time in a residency at Ox-Bow, and her teaching. Following her lecture we settled into studio work, seminar discussions based on readings from The Textile Reader, and critiques. There is a lot of energy in the studios and discussions and critiques have been very active and interesting. The department also went on a tour of the Collections Wing of the Cranbrook Art Museum and Saarinen House.<br />
In future posts I will try to hit the highlights of the missing past couple of years as well as share more about our department activities.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-13279517816582611392010-05-25T09:36:00.000-07:002010-05-25T09:48:06.043-07:00Graduation and School's out...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhihoO6gyRu6G0zha8dtldsuSOaSu4Z0f0Xku-1-OhZgMcj5urfXCHV0ca27-sYhDkkp85oIqK_kwild16mnykFANJB8h5mwB7VYL4OM_K5w1d9sTHiEmHQbi2KLm0c0SjyhIdfdwpMVilG/s1600/IMG_7166.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhihoO6gyRu6G0zha8dtldsuSOaSu4Z0f0Xku-1-OhZgMcj5urfXCHV0ca27-sYhDkkp85oIqK_kwild16mnykFANJB8h5mwB7VYL4OM_K5w1d9sTHiEmHQbi2KLm0c0SjyhIdfdwpMVilG/s320/IMG_7166.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475247844299900642" border="0" /></a><br />School wrapped up with thesis documents from the eight Fiber students being turned in to the library on May 3 and a huge clean-up in the department May 3-5. On May 6 the Academy hosted Academy Awards night, a ceremony that recognizes the efforts of all of the students with awards being announced for soon to be second year students and the graduating students. Friday May 7 brought commencement ceremonies. When the weather is pleasant we have the ceremony in the Greek Theater, an outdoor theater on campus. This year the weather was not as helpful as past years so we held the ceremony in Christchurch Cranbrook.

And that makes it sound a little more rushed than it really was. They had started their pieces earlier in the semester and it just became clear how quickly time was passing. Of the eight people in the department about half of them decided to work in a larger scale than they had worked before, so the department was full of projects and every where you turned someone was using every nook of space available.<br /><br />By April 10 they started to install their work at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. (The Cranbrook Art Museum is closed this year for expansion and renovations). In addition to the eight Fiber students there were 67 students from the nine other departments, which may have been the largest group in recent memory. The installation was not without its challenges, but the students really benefited from the planning they had done and united to help each other out.<br /><br />Here are some photos from the degree show opening:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIU-3TCJyHXIi_5gevAQJZ7aFfvFNF1MJ99gLPEV6aHtom8OSR8aIPp9rF8FN3SQiqDxUkNlBBUzrh7_rs5saFrY65GEisBLoE-Zgo7TLinY0WsFl24Hf4anDSauQekKzVEM2cG2LINZDv/s1600/zack+directs+tricia+on+new+configuration.jpg"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjje-NGeo-WEcJ8jXOsXdK8lYoVQBjqwIFc7K-t3BOIsp37a4MCXevG5XCu-drrCjq-WRovwT6ICM5Jh9XGf0ZxqI-_2ct-x7fetTU6HqrXXjN9ospTgRBtnnCdutppYZL5EvenJXHJrOXT/s1600/fiber+girls+and+zack+in+the+art+furniture.jpg"><img style="display: block;

While the second year students were developing their work for the degree show first year students were preparing for second semester reviews. The reviews happened the week of February 15 and were the first major Academy goal for the first year students. Each presented their work and had discussions with four artists-in-residence during the span of one day. While the reviews are an opportunity to asses academic progress it is also a chance for the students to get information from people outside of their department which always leads to new developments in their studio work.<br /><br />Soon after reviews we hosted Shannon Stratton, independent curator, critic, and the Director and Curator of <a href="http://www.three-walls.org">Three-Walls </a>a residency program and gallery in Chicago. Shannon lectured about <a href="http://museumofcontemporarycraft.org/exhibitions/index.php?f=2010_01_gestures">Gestures of Resistance</a>, an exhibition she co-curated with Judith Leeman. The show had opened in January at the Museum for Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon. She also met individually with all of the students in the Fiber Department for critiques. Everyone was challenged and energized by her lecture and critiques.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-16128980733575813722010-04-20T09:47:00.000-07:002010-04-20T13:21:59.065-07:00Catching up - the return to school in January<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaPST3sFebau3xsTQjFfqJgAmz1qHnHH6aJAdRVYoAbcokseaon9NXE7FJo2T3rU_ttsV4zRTtK8MGcr9G7-2xoH6InHTFBkeuNMC-d4OUt1O8V3NRRhTbMaTjtTAHioFFzG8aTUN1J2nt/s1600/DSCN0163.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAlme0iVjo8pgxklzNMRWXuZrp3qacCQf2huAm9ro5T2S06ZdI0J_BEbAxb1JihBuIP5FhE0G90yEbEhwIGM_9MMh0B9VQfMEoMdMhR7uA-8UULwfvmq0D02Zi6z7N-SS3o0Hf5HJF0TL/s1600/DSCN0040.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAlme0iVjo8pgxklzNMRWXuZrp3qacCQf2huAm9ro5T2S06ZdI0J_BEbAxb1JihBuIP5FhE0G90yEbEhwIGM_9MMh0B9VQfMEoMdMhR7uA-8UULwfvmq0D02Zi6z7N-SS3o0Hf5HJF0TL/s320/DSCN0040.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462274928628164018" border="0" /></a>School began in January with a department trip to Las Vegas during the second week of class. We had plans to see the Liberace Museum, Heizer's Double Negative, the art at the new City Center development and the exhibition at the Bellagio that accompanied that, the Neon Museum sign bone-yard, meet with the grads and faculty at UNLV, and meet with the head of the Arts Office for the City of Las Vegas, amongst other things. It was a great trip that allowed us to see how large public and privately commissioned projects are developed as well as questioning the relationships between, art, design, entertainment, and spectacle.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRyj1ZxI0kexR0G5hK-FaTCDHGz5Fn6c-b4qa8jWaWJh86gT6bFbQnChV1dglYmGCPsNTWjWDiu6IbmJ6mwl8x3_TtoQ2U2u1yCnPOip2OXNSXrEtXdqyueP5jVt68fr5faxaTXEGrqpz6/s1600/DSCN0042.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRyj1ZxI0kexR0G5hK-FaTCDHGz5Fn6c-b4qa8jWaWJh86gT6bFbQnChV1dglYmGCPsNTWjWDiu6IbmJ6mwl8x3_TtoQ2U2u1yCnPOip2OXNSXrEtXdqyueP5jVt68fr5faxaTXEGrqpz6/s320/DSCN0042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462275086487571218" border="0" /></a>Tarissa Tiberti from the Bellagio and a Cranbrook alum from sculpture gave a great presentation about the art in the City Center development and the way that project grew.

It was a great opportunity for the two groups of students to discuss ideas and, the nature of grad school, and even plan an exchange. (this week there will be a show of work from the UNLV students at the Cranbrook Forum Gallery).<br />Unfortunately, Double Negative had to be canceled because it rained the most of the time we were there, which made the roads in the desert near the work dangerous.<br /><br />The Neon Sign Museum was a fantastic place to visit and our tour guide Justin was excellent.

The end of the fall semester is the first hint of a very intense and active spring semester. Third semester reviews are one of the major assessments of progress for students while at Cranbrook and while they occur just before winter break, they also herald the degree show to come in April.<br /><br />For the first year students we ended the semester with critiques of their work and research presentations. Their presentations were to address a show they would curate using any artists living or dead, to form a group show based on a theme of interest to them. Each semester there are research assignments that are intended to help compliment studio activity and prepare people for their thesis document.<br /><br />Photo from a critique in Heidi's studio.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0d8BdRdCu-Y3ad8ng5RaO0L6ZVZIC0SdU-1gQup7RMu_xPwXogtFkq2ugNaPHgmV5wbL-M1cEn-W3jIlU18dCwxbkQXrvk8WBh40AXS-w7goNbmfOqwABT9QnaQVBYfZPBkXXU4n4lCOu/s1600/DSC_0686.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0d8BdRdCu-Y3ad8ng5RaO0L6ZVZIC0SdU-1gQup7RMu_xPwXogtFkq2ugNaPHgmV5wbL-M1cEn-W3jIlU18dCwxbkQXrvk8WBh40AXS-w7goNbmfOqwABT9QnaQVBYfZPBkXXU4n4lCOu/s320/DSC_0686.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462222683610657410" border="0" /></a><br />And as the top picture indicates we have some fun.

Her visit was part of the Academy's Critical Studies Program which worked collaboratively with the Ceramics, Fiber, Metals, and Photo Departments. She was here for a week and worked with us in various ways. The first component was a public lecture titled "Making it Relevant: The University Art Museum in the 21st Century". Each morning that Kate was here she also led a seminar about the theatricality of art museum exhibitions for selected students from the sponsoring departments. The last day of the seminar they visited the Detroit Institute of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit to see how these institutions demonstrated the topics of the seminar. Each afternoon she spent with one of the sponsoring departments meeting with students and critiquing work.<br /><br />The next week brought Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo, the collaborative installation and architecture team called Lead Pencil Studio. Fiber collaborated with Architecture to host LPS and after they presented their lecture they met individually with students from each department to critique work. Architecture and Fiber have had student collaborations in each of the past two years and this was a great opportunity to make that connection on another level.<br /><br />Most recently we have been fortunate to have Jane Lackey and Anne Wilson presenting solo shows in the area. On Saturday November 7 Jane Lackey presented a gallery talk at Lemberg Gallery and on Sunday the 8th Anne Wilson spoke about her work at Paul Kotula Projects. On the following Monday and Tuesday we were glad to host Jane Lackey for individual meetings with each Fiber student and a follow- up discussion before she left.<br /><br />The next few weeks bring a more focused studio work schedule with weekly critiques and individual meetings between each student and me as we work towards Third Semester Reviews and final critiques.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-42454198466240869062009-11-13T07:31:00.000-08:002009-11-13T07:43:58.823-08:00Time to catch up 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP98YUyNhyphenhyphenTJgOUSir_44gvSmiGO-OU3984bFPmOjx4WV-ydhgXxrhtkUYZPqOtwRQlrDnJ4YcdHBTkePjzyg7goM-H365mq5IHb5ia47XJivAbiLlp__lS74e1zSQajWp8sQlzgK7k48z/s1600-h/6919_504056430655_94400103_30117657_7949372_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP98YUyNhyphenhyphenTJgOUSir_44gvSmiGO-OU3984bFPmOjx4WV-ydhgXxrhtkUYZPqOtwRQlrDnJ4YcdHBTkePjzyg7goM-H365mq5IHb5ia47XJivAbiLlp__lS74e1zSQajWp8sQlzgK7k48z/s320/6919_504056430655_94400103_30117657_7949372_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403613237196150562" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As the last post suggests we were about to enter into a very busy time for the Fiber Department.<br />We had just finished the Academy's annual fundraiser, this year called Studio (formerly called Fanfare). Studio opens the usually closed departmental studio doors to people from the community who are interested in what we do and generally support Cranbrook. The students and the Artists in Residence welcome our guests and talk about the work we do as artists and teachers.

These discussions last for approximately one hour per student and we are routinely joined by students from other departments. Next week we will host our first guest - Kate Bonansinga, the curator for this years Renwick Invitational and the Director of the Rubin Center at University of Texas, El Paso. She will be joining our department for critiques on Wednesday and she will also be leading a seminar of Fiber, Photo, Ceramics, and Metals students to discuss the relationship of theater and the museum.<br /><br />The early part of the semester also brings activities that help connect the community of students. Two such traditions are Second Year Student Presentations and the Raft Regatta. At the S.Y. Presentations each of the second year students presents a 5 minute talk about their work and background. For the Raft Regatta, each department builds a raft that they will navigate around one of the lakes on campus. The department that won the regatta in the previous year sets the rules for the race.<br /><br />Here are some photos from this years regatta.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cZ4aEsSWh-MbsA-Xl87C0iId_mKVVBlFOdLoAGtMNPMo2JJE7UAwz-HJaCp5OFngY10syq2p87A9MXsRy_swNbcjVwzB4WHEP_bo34-8bbqe9YsgfnPbf6mwE8jTr8a8Xbf3z1w8LAaa/s1600-h/CIMG0155.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cZ4aEsSWh-MbsA-Xl87C0iId_mKVVBlFOdLoAGtMNPMo2JJE7UAwz-HJaCp5OFngY10syq2p87A9MXsRy_swNbcjVwzB4WHEP_bo34-8bbqe9YsgfnPbf6mwE8jTr8a8Xbf3z1w8LAaa/s320/CIMG0155.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390631996052655986" border="0" /></a><br />Tiana working on the raft.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCeKSoTP8sppw77PFi4Cae9J-9Q-D-BItZbjD6aYwi2FURRsbP3iWZlJ_d5erSibRsMseN6Ku1TryzN4JLDst4BwNr-fqBo6qH1luaWgrkPCOmxk-CT30bZIXx_8xhRZbDv7YJnJLHv-J0/s1600-h/CIMG0162.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCeKSoTP8sppw77PFi4Cae9J-9Q-D-BItZbjD6aYwi2FURRsbP3iWZlJ_d5erSibRsMseN6Ku1TryzN4JLDst4BwNr-fqBo6qH1luaWgrkPCOmxk-CT30bZIXx_8xhRZbDv7YJnJLHv-J0/s320/CIMG0162.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390632398306547378" border="0" /></a>The raft.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMN23aj6jYlZbFhfto7dns-5r1fuaWOZNrG14UR5ERNpoBXle60qPWwwhtvi8FfXsS0-3yaHB8Q1a3bEjrvzsafcmj_g_8BUtwwE8VMfZpOcMgssksqPZ1DnkERyjcrxWgwOn3JVjtqGwn/s1600-h/CIMG0167.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMN23aj6jYlZbFhfto7dns-5r1fuaWOZNrG14UR5ERNpoBXle60qPWwwhtvi8FfXsS0-3yaHB8Q1a3bEjrvzsafcmj_g_8BUtwwE8VMfZpOcMgssksqPZ1DnkERyjcrxWgwOn3JVjtqGwn/s320/CIMG0167.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390632560700676882" border="0" /></a>The competition!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJAndhxmBSvX20-TsLzpobp705o7QTXwzVHcWueD8juANmhIPE9kTC4OLYXi6ZBJs04LLODPojR3ooxWFBfbUiz68_8WqmaxqItzSCqhjpZfuMVtiEZG7kMyCtF087eHhI8GyhoK_vxYPW/s1600-h/CIMG0177.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJAndhxmBSvX20-TsLzpobp705o7QTXwzVHcWueD8juANmhIPE9kTC4OLYXi6ZBJs04LLODPojR3ooxWFBfbUiz68_8WqmaxqItzSCqhjpZfuMVtiEZG7kMyCtF087eHhI8GyhoK_vxYPW/s320/CIMG0177.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390632800843227842" border="0" /></a>Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-83619093549369230732009-09-27T14:01:00.000-07:002009-09-28T11:54:57.378-07:00Back in action<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEWnFX5HbZxScNDorpxmWeey3ueRU-3fGtuROUgvxymeTQFJkQ0Tbp-UXds3gRVsGjmCGMsOVqwLyhXaZWFeVg8OBS1eJdkmtWYv74uoTclLMYMs_HCI3-emJ-vgx7tCqTxH24uy4zzIoJ/s1600-h/dinner+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEWnFX5HbZxScNDorpxmWeey3ueRU-3fGtuROUgvxymeTQFJkQ0Tbp-UXds3gRVsGjmCGMsOVqwLyhXaZWFeVg8OBS1eJdkmtWYv74uoTclLMYMs_HCI3-emJ-vgx7tCqTxH24uy4zzIoJ/s320/dinner+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386258576353714802" border="0" /></a><br />The fall semester is two weeks old and I am finally getting back to the blog, which is a reflection of a busy semester.<br />We started with the usual introductions, meetings and studio selection process for the first year students. And to complete the first week we had a bbq on the terrace, which is what the photos are from.<br />The general plan for the semester is regular critiques for all of the students, complimented by individual meetings with me and a seminar. In the seminar we started with a discussion of Rebecca Solnit's <span style="font-style: italic;">Elements of a New Landscape</span> from her book, <span style="font-style: italic;">As Eve Said to the Serpent</span>. We also had a hearty discussion about critique formats and goals to set the stage for upcoming critiques. Future seminar sessions will alternate between readings provided by second year students and discussion of the book <span style="font-style: italic;">The Artificial Kingdom </span>by Celeste Olalquiaga.<br />Most weeks we will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday so if you are interested in the program and want to visit the department these are great days to see us in action.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw5JHgUjtS_tNEBUvfGC3WJnU-skjEj4UpgygNhTUFW3_jrH6ExUnCdN9AdV7qYHAoKnYQSx3eqM2xC2UMzJr2sOlpYDrb9uJSjyZ55bDxBFTkuTXPFPfO_yKskB2yKcaW7Pe3BWu6LOuz/s1600-h/dinner+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw5JHgUjtS_tNEBUvfGC3WJnU-skjEj4UpgygNhTUFW3_jrH6ExUnCdN9AdV7qYHAoKnYQSx3eqM2xC2UMzJr2sOlpYDrb9uJSjyZ55bDxBFTkuTXPFPfO_yKskB2yKcaW7Pe3BWu6LOuz/s320/dinner+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386258697537563666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOvvx_Sxb1DUfFb1lk2t2uvam1BqR5-T75CskgQUcot9yHYQiGMSs8ExkVNNuZ_U2DXC74TFhwotlMG9kgXcdAGBotan7H8sG5LmCXlzvRyNJowfgbTio1DLqvNJBDqk1QnRO20MGni3V/s1600-h/derya+at+grill.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOvvx_Sxb1DUfFb1lk2t2uvam1BqR5-T75CskgQUcot9yHYQiGMSs8ExkVNNuZ_U2DXC74TFhwotlMG9kgXcdAGBotan7H8sG5LmCXlzvRyNJowfgbTio1DLqvNJBDqk1QnRO20MGni3V/s320/derya+at+grill.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386258931001297714" border="0" /></a>Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-81038759845623915292009-04-15T09:37:00.000-07:002009-04-15T09:45:09.644-07:00The degree showThe second year students are all busily and intensely installing and completing their degree show work this week. Installation started last week. The show is in the Cranbrook Art Museum and all of the approximately 75 second year students have space in the museum for a piece. It is an incredibly exciting time, watching the pieces grow and the museum fill. This year it seems that many of the students have taken the degree show as a challenge to make a statement through scale and other means.<br />The work of the six Fiber students in the show includes conceptual needlework, large scale sculptural knit forms,installations that ooze and spew substances from two by fours, video performance work, text based work that references the production of culture, and an installation that frames how we perceive the world around us.<br />I am looking forward to seeing all of the completed work when the show opens on Saturday at 6PM.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-16338624911567271632009-03-14T12:50:00.000-07:002009-03-14T13:17:40.919-07:00Cleveland Rocks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbZeo63Z9Y00MAvzgyMJvNaa9c8cRDGQlJDKQtHQ9ix2CAPXB5u-HJo_v1TOWhPL5SYlT9ljwJvQmmIhPOCnM_Uu8_EkbYZy2i7PePsGd3Sf15tROF6NsZdS38UhCnM2pO3Ne9Wo7WmyJK/s1600-h/mao+prog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbZeo63Z9Y00MAvzgyMJvNaa9c8cRDGQlJDKQtHQ9ix2CAPXB5u-HJo_v1TOWhPL5SYlT9ljwJvQmmIhPOCnM_Uu8_EkbYZy2i7PePsGd3Sf15tROF6NsZdS38UhCnM2pO3Ne9Wo7WmyJK/s320/mao+prog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313140143739571090" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8X5syJTaKNEPw4zgo20oRTaM2Yy6R4_9isSkyz_YT3iT_wz4-AipyWOWOp1ICMc67NnpNeq46LpVflxrs5xOoPjoF2TfWezaaTTRFQE44YE7KCEec0cmQTlG7Zv2PCCft9d2skXRB7NRQ/s1600-h/coyne+prog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8X5syJTaKNEPw4zgo20oRTaM2Yy6R4_9isSkyz_YT3iT_wz4-AipyWOWOp1ICMc67NnpNeq46LpVflxrs5xOoPjoF2TfWezaaTTRFQE44YE7KCEec0cmQTlG7Zv2PCCft9d2skXRB7NRQ/s320/coyne+prog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313140138903786834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3GuWRUkyWM7tPeeCovuwLYL4vTHQSSEyE4YCKrTqpMoO1MG68DTYsIWlhKqswKUh2fbPJidFY043vFwykj-DXafWtt45DIECI8ldRxlE0gpys2Rxm7EHhlj_zB88IcD18b1LBamydhRG/s1600-h/art+and+mail+and+us.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3GuWRUkyWM7tPeeCovuwLYL4vTHQSSEyE4YCKrTqpMoO1MG68DTYsIWlhKqswKUh2fbPJidFY043vFwykj-DXafWtt45DIECI8ldRxlE0gpys2Rxm7EHhlj_zB88IcD18b1LBamydhRG/s320/art+and+mail+and+us.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313140129224360178" border="0" /></a><br />March 5-7 the department set forth on our pilgrimage to Cleveland. The mission to see art, learn about various aspects of the Cleveland art scene, and eat. We started the trip with a tour of the Museum of Contemporary Art which had a group exhibition <span style="font-style: italic;">Superlight</span>, and a solo exhibition of <span style="font-style: italic;">Christian </span>Wulffen's work on view. We then visited the offices of Cleveland Public Art where we learned a great deal about their programming and some great advice for approaching public art projects. Next on our itinerary was a visit to the Cleveland Institute of Art where Deborah Carlson, co-chair of the Fiber Department and Cranbrook Alum gave us a great tour of their spaces and student work. And we concluded the day with a wonderful dinner with Deborah at a local Thai restaurant.<br /><br />Friday started with a tour of the textile conservation and storage labs at the Cleveland Museum of Art. In the lab they were working a Native American feather cape from the Midwest, a Great Plains beaded shirt, and some contemporary pieces. It was extremely hard to keep hands off when so close to such amazing objects. The group then went on a tour of the Progressive Insurance Company's art collection, and a visit to Melt for some more good food. After Progressive we had some free time to search for public art, rest, and walk by the lake before we enjoyed the evening.<br /><br />On Saturday morning we visited SPACES a 30 year old alternative gallery for a tour of the shows and a talk about their various exhibition, residency, and community programs. We followed this with a visit to the Sculpture Center and then had to head back home.<br />Once back at Cranbrook we resumed seminar and critique activities. The second year students patiently waited to find out what space in the museum they would have for their degree show work, and now we are all on Spring Break.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-50160172798995639802009-03-04T05:52:00.000-08:002009-03-14T13:19:25.646-07:00Reviews and guestsAfter Jon Haddock's visit we continued our professional practices discussions focusing on contracts, budgets, and financial issues as well as grants, residencies, and jobs. The interesting thing about addressing these topics with graduate students is they already have a level of experience with some of these things so we can really discuss how to approach applying for a grant, or how to understand a contract in depth, and from a variety of personal experiences.<br /><br />February 16-20 brought Second Semester Reviews. During the week all of the first year students in each of the departments meet with four of the Artists-in-Residence from the Academy. The students meet individually with the Artists-in-Residence for approximately 30 minutes and use the information from those conversations to evaluate their work and what directions they will pursue. Fiber went on the Friday of that week which made for a long and stressful week, but I think all of them would tell you the discussions were very helpful.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxt1G6lROi741CPmIiUHNT-riElszvq9yridibInE7Md8j7oPEDIR48TW9N7ASSCCFD6qPN1M_jcdE3RY4LAFjAuh0vAMWm0LIcK51jgveAz8sQz5su_lZqQ5vO3Peq3fhMdmofMwsfgus/s1600-h/casey's+review.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxt1G6lROi741CPmIiUHNT-riElszvq9yridibInE7Md8j7oPEDIR48TW9N7ASSCCFD6qPN1M_jcdE3RY4LAFjAuh0vAMWm0LIcK51jgveAz8sQz5su_lZqQ5vO3Peq3fhMdmofMwsfgus/s320/casey's+review.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313140362207988130" border="0" /></a><br />We were very fortunate to host St. Louis based artists, Kim Humphries and Sarah Colby on February 23. Kim is the Director of Exhibitions at Laumeier Sculpture Park and Sara works in community arts education. They presented lectures about the development of their individual work, collaborative work, and what they do in their day jobs. One of the exciting things about their lectures was the connections they revealed to ways that people in the department are working. So when they met individually with students there was a great deal of excitement.<br /><br />Today we will be meeting to critique the work of two Fiber students, Ema Ishii and Mary Smull, as well as the work of two Print Media students, Carrie Ida Edinger and Terry Conrad, who are taking electives in Fiber this semester. It should be a good day.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-54646623271758999652009-02-06T06:35:00.000-08:002009-02-06T08:10:54.883-08:00A busy couple of weeksFor a place with no institutionally determined schedule, we sure can keep ourselves busy. The last week is a case in point. After my last post we started discussions on professional practices topics - starting with goal setting and time management. We also started our group critiques with the work of four students on January 28. And then on January 29 things started to get interesting.<br />We hosted Sue Taylor, art historian at Portland State University, critic, and author of numerous reviews, articles, and the book, "Hans Bellmer: The Anxiety of Anatomy. Before arriving at Cranbrook Taylor lectured at Wayne State University in Detroit on the work of the art critic. On the 30th she presented a lecture titled, "Feminism and Femmage since 1970" at Cranbrook. That was followed by a very intense afternoon of critiques in the Fiber Department. We finished the day with a dinner in Sue's honor.<br />Saturday brought the opening of my Artist in Residence show at the Cranbrook Art Museum.<br />On Sunday the museum hosted a lecture titled "Cartoon Violence" by Phoenix based, mixed media artist Jon Haddock. You can see his work at whitelead.com Jon spent the day on Monday meeting individually with Fiber Students and the evening brought a dinner in Jon's honor with the Fiber and Photo departments.<br />After a rest day on Tuesday we returned to departmental critiques on Wednesday with the work of four more students. Most of the critiques were of the work of second year students who are all starting to develop their Degree Exhibition projects in various ways.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-57106024616291942362009-01-21T06:40:00.000-08:002009-01-21T06:48:07.572-08:00The second semester has startedActually it started last week, and while things are relatively quiet next week brings a lot of activity. Before that, today, we have presentations by the second years. They will each make 30 minute presentations about the development of their work.<br />Next week we have our first day of critiques and our first visiting critic. Sue Taylor from Portland State University, Portland, OR will visit the department on January 30. In the morning she will present a lecture entitled, "Feminism and Femmage since the 1970s". In the afternoon she will lead a group critique with the students. Sue uses psychology to interpret artwork and her insights and comments about the work should be very interesting.<br />On Sunday February 1 mixed media artist Jon Haddock will present his lecture entitled "Cartoon Violence," at the museum. On the second he will meet individually with students in Fiber.<br />Never a dull moment around here.Cranbrook Fiber Departmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07388404277204837092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798235386602100773.post-76848275054165284132008-12-18T11:35:00.000-08:002008-12-18T11:48:36.758-08:00Some images from first year final critiques<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZtH1BFcH26uOztgM5aJ3cCbsXz2WM5IyNIKhlqnf7k6xS91Rkup6XAJHCZsnKFbFCokwcRJPbCUGgE7xjq5CUC0Le2MjKpprQh31Pglz8AMoHt0L-wQL8ewi-kpEHPs9eEeHoQ2A3IBPr/s1600-h/IMG_0409.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I think I wrote about these last year, but just in case, the reviews are meetings between each student and five Artists in Residence (AIRs). Each student meets with their assigned AIRs throughout the day. They meet and share discussions about the work the students have been doing and how they might move forward. It is a very exciting time because all of the work that has been done by the second year students is on view so the whole community gets to see what is going on and because the students are interested in hearing feedback from the AIRs from other departments. Fiber and Sculpture presented on Thursday and all six of the second year students did very well. I think they also gathered new insights and questions that will propel their work in interesting directions for their degree show and future beyond Cranbrook.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid9OyDtS_ZBzqd42HECjSkxo9ri4jsdlXqk_OrkxfsBdia0UUrBdIxWJuLrYG7Kji1ZlBPlPO8RhboiTvBCTKB0BXokD8WnSYh0V3MpIjKoXiKb2QvtU0eGM4GbMiI6Y9CDI30b8w0YTAZ/s1600-h/house(low).jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

On occasion students discover similar concerns and goals with students from other departments and set about to make work together. Last month Tricia Stackle (Fiber) and Andrew Kline (Architecture) began such a venture that resulted in a large scale project being installed temporarily on the campus.
