SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Lecture: Nicki Green - Bodies\, Bodies\, Bodies (Ga
 lleries Closed)
DESCRIPTION:Join Cranbrook Academy of Art at deSalle Auditorium for a free\
 , public lecture from artist Nicki Green. Green will explore her practice 
 through the lens of making and avoiding figuration. While not entirely fig
 urative\, Green's work engages questions surrounding the production of obj
 ects and bodies as linked to ideas of subjectivity. Using her practice as 
 a throughline\, she'll discuss functionality\, ceramic surface painting hi
 stories\, Jewish avoidance of making "graven images" and the complex natur
 e of documenting the transgender body.\n\nPlease enter the auditorium thro
 ugh the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library entrance\, the art museum galleri
 es will be closed.\n\n\n\nNicki Green is a transdisciplinary artist workin
 g primarily in clay. Her sculptures\, ritual objects and various flat work
 s explore topics of history preservation\, conceptual ornamentation and ae
 sthetics of otherness. Often constructing heavily ornamented painted glaze
  surfaces and experimental\, organic building techniques\, Green explores 
 material and object integrity by utilizing transness as a lens with which 
 to look at the world.\n\nGreen has exhibited her work internationally\, no
 tably at the New Museum\, New York\; Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris\, Fra
 nce\, and The Contemporary Jewish Museum\, San Francisco. She has contribu
 ted texts to numerous publications including Transgender Studies Quarterly
 \, Fermenting Feminism\, Copenhagen and The Center for Arts Research publi
 cations\, University of Oregon\, Eugene. Green is a current Louis Comfort 
 Tiffany Foundation Grantee\, a 2022 Nancy Graves Foundation Fellow\, and w
 as a 2020 Art Matters Fellow\, among other awards and residencies. Origina
 lly from New England\, she completed her BFA in sculpture from the San Fra
 ncisco Art Institute in 2009 and her MFA in Art Practice from the Universi
 ty of California\, Berkeley in 2018. Green is currently a visiting profess
 or at California State University\, Long Beach Center for Contemporary Cer
 amics.
