SUMMARY:Lecture: Elizabeth Essner
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Essner will join us to deliver the lecture\, “Dear 
 Sirs: Rose Slivka and Craft Horizons Magazine.”\n\nRose Slivka was Edito
 r-in-Chief of Craft Horizons magazine for two decades\, from 1959 to 197
 9. The publication was the leading voice of craft\, and under her directio
 n the magazine took a deeply inclusive view of the field\, documenting and
  shaping its cultural connections and critical reception. Slivka sought a 
 salon-like approach: poets\, artists\, critics and curators from both insi
 de and outside the world of craft contributed to Craft Horizons. She hera
 lded new generations of artists and craftspeople\, yet for much of Slivka
 ’s longtime editorship\, readers’ letters were addressed to “Sirs\,
 ” the assumed leadership of the magazine. Offering new consideration of 
 her influence\, this lecture will contextualize the complexities of gender
  for Slivka and discuss her impact on the field then and now.\n\nElizabeth
  Essner is an independent curator and writer based in Brooklyn\, New York.
  She was a 2017 Curatorial Fellow with the Center for Craft where she co-c
 urated “The Good Making of Good Things: Craft Horizons Magazine\, 1941
 -1979” which traveled to Arizona State University Art Museum and the Min
 nesota Museum of American Art. Elizabeth has also curated exhibitions for 
 institutions including the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and UrbanGlass.
  A researcher for two forthcoming publications on contemporary jewelry and
  ceramics\, Elizabeth has also written for magazines including Modern an
 d Metalsmith. She received her MA from the Bard Graduate Center in New Yo
 rk.\n\nLectures are free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Metalsmi
 thing Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art.
