SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Mike Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Cranbrook Academy of Art’s 2024-25 Public Lecture Series is f
 ree and open to the public at Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium. Cranbrook 
 Art Museum is open late and free to all on Thursdays\, please arrive early
  to explore the current exhibitions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMike Cloud is a painter 
 and serves as an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in t
 he Department of Art\, Theory\, and Practice at Northwestern University in
  Illinois.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHis artistic practice encompasses the expanded fie
 ld of painting and image-making. He dissects photographic and painterly fo
 rms\, scrambling text and re-aligning content to produce new breaks in leg
 ibility and new understandings.\n\nHis work examines paintings as objects 
 within a broader cultural system of objects\, marks\, symbols\, motifs\, a
 nd forms. His expressive technique blurs and blends elements into aestheti
 c compositions that interrogate the politics\, contrivances\, and language
  of painting and the artist’s complicity in its system of functions.\n\n
 Mike Cloud’s solo exhibitions include Called Ahead (2024) at Fahrenhei
 t Madrid\, Spain\; Tears in Abstraction (2019) and Bad Faith and Univer
 sal Technique (2014) at Thomas Erben Gallery\, New York\; The Myth of Ed
 ucation (2018) at the Logan Center for the Arts in Chicago\; and Special
  Projects: Mike Cloud (2005)\, MoMA PS1\, New York. Through a Guggenheim 
 Fellowship\, he is developing Holistic Abstraction\, a new body of resea
 rch\, writing\, and paintings inspired by ancient\, classical\, and religi
 ous diagrams of the universe that present modes of abstraction that take a
  holistic view of artistic ambition.
