SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Kristen Morgin (POSTPONED)
DESCRIPTION:Due to the campus-wide power outage\, tonight's lecture has bee
 n postponed. We will update you on the new date as soon as it is reschedul
 ed. We apologize for the inconvenience. \n\nThis Cranbrook Academy of Art
  lecture is free and open to the public at Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditoriu
 m. Please note that Cranbrook Art Museum’s galleries will not be open. E
 nter through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library entrance.\n\nKristen Mor
 gin takes an unconventional approach to ceramics\; her signature Trompe 
 l’oeil sculptures and assemblages explore personal nostalgia\, obsolesc
 ence\, and the American dream. Her most recent drawings on paper\, previou
 sly a private part of her practice\, were exhibited for the first time in 
 2024 with Marc Selwyn Fine Art.\n\nMorgin’s drawings explore a wide var
 iety of source material ranging from precise renderings of scientific imag
 es\, children’s book illustrations\, puppetry\, and folk art\, always mi
 xing high and low culture with an intention to remove traditional hierarch
 ies.\n\nHer relic-like sculptures range in scale from recreations of full-
 size cars and orchestral instruments to tiny knick-knacks and toys\, which
  appear as found objects but are raw\, unfired clay. Substituting paint a
 nd collage for the gloss of traditional ceramic glazes\, Morgin achieves a
  garage-sale aesthetic in which 20th-century pop culture icons like Popeye
  and Mighty Mouse preside and vintage playthings find new meaning.\n\nMorg
 in received a BA from California State University\, Hayward\, and an MFA i
 n Ceramics from Alfred University.  She is a recipient of the 2011 Lamar 
 Dodd Professorship of Art\, University of Georgia\, and the 2005 Joan Mitc
 hell Award.\n\nMorgin’s work has been shown widely in the United States 
 and abroad. Her work is in the permanent collections of Alfred University\
 , The Hammer Museum\, San Francisco Museum of Contemporary Art\, The Smith
 sonian American Museum of Art\, The Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angel
 es\, and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
