(Galler ies Closed) DESCRIPTION:Join Cranbrook Academy of Art at deSalle Auditorium for a free\ , public lecture from Visiting Artist Michael Lim. Please enter through th e Cranbrook Academy of Art Library entrance\, the galleries at Cranbrook A rt Museum will be closed.\n\nIn the topography of (post-)contemporary art in the 21st century\, the re-emergence of sculptural or unmonumental objec ts has been attributed to the demise of installation art once flourished i n the era of globalization\, particularly multimedia video installations\, which had developed a meta-criticism predicated on discursive site-specif icity. However\, there are more fundamental drivers behind the resurgence of sculptural form. In a complex situation where 2D is perceived as 3D\, a nd 3D is perceived as 2D\, due to changes in the media landscape and chang es in the post-industrial object-making process\, painterly painting and s culptural or 'sculptorly' sculpture are\, in effect\, addressing different aspects of the same problem: the crisis of human existence or existential crisis of all things.What historical challenges will today's contemporary artists face\, who weave meta-objects using 21st-century ready-made produ cts and their formative order as materials? Are a series of artistic attem pts to find aesthetic value in utilitarian objects or functional structure s\, and to extract and reconsolidate projected sentiments\, merely errors based on ignorance of design history? How are today's museums and art inst itutions responding to these challenges?"At a time when artists may work w ithout obligation to medium\, why choose the materials of sculpture? What does it mean for an artist to assume the role of sculptor today? And just what is at stake for a new generation committed to sculpture?"\n\n \;\ n\nMichael Lim is an Art &\; Design Historian.
