SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Lecture: Johanna Grawunder
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCANCELLATION NOTICE: As a precautionary measure\, Cranbrook
  Academy of Art has made the decision to cancel the Johanna Grawunder lect
 ure scheduled for March 12. We do not feel it is safe to ask Johanna to tr
 avel to Michigan at this time due to the many uncertainties presented by t
 he coronavirus (COVID-19). The health and safety of our guests\, students\
 , and staff always come first\, and we hope to be able to welcome her to c
 ampus at a future date.\n\n\n\nEach year\, through the generosity of an en
 dowment from Knoll International\, the Knoll Lecture Series at Cranbrook A
 cademy of Art brings a renowned designer to campus for a free public lectu
 re to promote the importance of design and build discussions with the Acad
 emy students.\n\nThis year\, Johanna Grawunder will deliver the lecture\, 
 “CONCEPT”. Every project has a story. Whether a large-scale lighting 
 installation\, a unique art-design custom commission or a mass-produced pr
 oduct\, the story we choose the tell is the driver of the design. Sometime
 s the story is a direct programmatic request or user-centered objective bu
 t for my work\, the main story is CONCEPT.\n\nConcepts can develop from ex
 ternal interests- “pay attention to what you pay attention to”- as wel
 l as project-specific inspirations. They are a self-imposed framework arou
 nd which my work is developed\, decisions are made and explained\, use of 
 resources is justified (sometimes). Conceptual design is an abstract and i
 diosyncratic process expressed in everything from materials and color to t
 he title of a thing. \n\nDesigner/artist Johanna Grawunder works on a b
 road range of projects\, including large-scale public lighting and color i
 nstallations\, exhibition design\, architectural interventions and interio
 rs\, and limited-edition furniture and light collections. Recent projects 
 include a new Light Art collection for Carpenters Workshop Gallery\,  the
  personal exhibition “Alone Together” for Assab One in Milan\, exhib
 ition design of the show “Van Cleef &amp\; Arpels: Time\, Nature\, Love
 ” in Palazzo Reale Milano\, and “Coding”\, an immersive light instal
 lation recently completed for San Francisco International Airport\, and pa
 rt of the permanent collection of the City and County of San Francisco. \
 n\nTrained as an architect\, she was drawn to the medium of light early on
  and has tried to incorporate architectural principles and scale\, non-pre
 cious building materials and high technology light research into her desig
 ns. \n\n Her work is included in many museum permanent collections\, inc
 luding the High Museum Atlanta\, LACMA\, CNAP\, SFMOMA\, The Museum of Fin
 e Arts\, Houston\, Art Institute Chicago\, Denver Art Museum and Musée 
 des Arts Décoratifs Paris. \n\n With a degree in Architecture from Ca
 lifornia Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo\, she studied and worked w
 ith Gianni Pettena and Cristiano Toraldo di Francia of Superstudio in 
 Florence (1984-1985) then moved to Milan to work with Sottsass Associati
  (1985-2001)\, becoming a partner in 1989. At Sottsass Associati she w
 as involved primarily with architecture and interiors\, co-designing with 
 Ettore Sottsass\, many of the firm’s most prestigious projects.  In 20
 01 she opened her own design studio in San Francisco and Milan. \n\n \n\
 nSponsored by 3D Design Department and Knoll Lecture in Design.\n\n All l
 ectures are free and held in deSalle Auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum.
