SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Lecture: Allana Clarke (Galleries Closed)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin Cranbrook Academy of Art at deSalle Auditorium for a f
 ree\, public lecture from Visiting Artist Allan Clarke who will discuss he
 r practice and work.\n\nAllana Clarke (b. 1987) is a Trinidadian-American 
 artist whose practice is built upon a foundation of uncertainty\, curiosit
 y\, a will to heal\, and an insistence upon freedom. Fluidly moving throug
 h photography\, sculptural and text-based works\, video and performance\, 
 her research-based practice incorporates socio-political and art historica
 l texts\, to contend with ideas of Blackness\, the binding nature of bodil
 y signification\, and of the possibility to create non-totalizing identify
 ing structures.\n\nClarke received her BFA in photography from New Jersey 
 City University in 2011 and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Practice from MICA
 ’s Mount Royal School of Art in 2014. She is an assistant professor at W
 ayne State University in Detroit. Clarke has been an artist in residence a
 t the Skowhegan School of Painting &amp\; Sculpture\, The Vermont Studio C
 enter\, Lighthouse Works\, and Yaddo. She has received several grants incl
 uding the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship\, Franklin Furnace Fund\, and a Puff
 in Foundation Grant. Her work has been screened and performed at Gibney Da
 nce in NY\, Invisible Export NY\, New School Glassbox Studio NY\, FRAC in 
 Nantes\, France\, SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin and was featured in the Bau
 haus Centennial edition Bauhaus Now: Is Modernity an Attitude. She recentl
 y completed a 2020-21 NXTHVN fellowship\, a mentorship program co-founded 
 by artist Titus Kaphar. Clarke is represented by Galerie Thomas Zander in
