What's Skill Got To Do With It? Snag Panel, Kim L. Cridler Ms.

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

Living in the long shadow of the ready made with the primacy of conceptual content often articulated through the handmaiden of hired or borrowed skill, why or why not teach discipline-based craft skills to undergraduate students? Can deeply skilled making as a physical craft contribute special knowledge to contemporary art? Or with the dissolution of many discipline-based areas within academia, should our focus as educators target the cultivation of ideas with making deployed as a subsequent undertaking? Do contemporary redefinitions of the “artists hand” through immaterial and collaborative skills dissolve the need for knowing materials? What are we teaching our …

Shifting Focus: Connecting Public Space With Everday Life, Patrick C. Mohr Prof.

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

If public art is to emerge beyond its present constraints it must include a new approach by adventuresome artists and public art agencies to include an embrace of the ubiquitous unmapped, and un-claimed territories which possess permeable borders found in our vulnerable communities and peripheral public spaces which are typically rooted on the edge of artistic heritage. The history of public art has shifted focus; it’s no longer about monuments or large scale projects with big budgets but about footnotes. The big events have been commemorated, now the little ones wait to shape our understanding of public space design. This …

Between The Literary And The Visual: Inter-Artistic Approaches To African-American Art History, Jennifer J. Marshall, Jo-Ann Morgan, Jason Puskar, Jennifer A. Greenhill, Nora Niedzielski-Eichner, Tiffany Johnson Bidler

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

A stubborn truism vexes African-American art history: the canon of black American literature is viewed as more established and robust than that of black American visual arts. This misconception has more to do with conventional disciplinary divisions, than it does with either the quantity or quality of black visual expression. Segregating the "literary" from the "visual"--and assigning these to English and Art History departments, respectively--has obscured the originally inter-artistic nature of much black cultural expression as well as the terms of its early reception and critique.

African-American artists have repeatedly worked in black literary contexts--from Aaron Douglas's illustrations for Alain …

Self-Assembly Of Globular Protein Block Copolymers, Bradley Olsen

Amgen Seminar Series in Chemical Engineering

Protein-based materials show a great deal of potential as catalysts, sensors, and optoelectronics, where the unique efficiency, selectivity, or activity of enzymes can be captured to improve the performance of these devices. However, careful control over the structure and orientation of the protein in three dimensions is required to improve transport through the devices, increase the density of active sites, and optimize the stability of the protein. We demonstrate self-assembly of globular protein-polymer conjugates into nanostructured phases as an elegant and simple method for structural control in bioelectronics. These conjugates may be conceptualized as deblock copolymers, where the first block …

Intersections: Art, Science And The Environment, Barbara J. Giorgio

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

Collaboration between the arts and sciences has helped to create new ideas, processes and knowledge. By working together we open up new ways of seeing and experiencing the world around us and the current relationship between art-making, science and ecology. How can we work across art and science to enable a creative discourse about ideas that shape the perception and the experience of our changing environment? Can artistic practices inspire engagement in environmental issues, and sustain engagement through ongoing activities?

This session seeks out those curious about the critical and intriguing topics that combine art, science and the environment. An …

Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?: Existential And Practical Tips For Planning A Successful Study Abroad Experience, Natalie Phillips, Lara Kuykendall

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

Study Abroad programs are becoming more and more essential to a student’s college experience, particularly for a student who is interested in art and art history. Students who travel and study abroad can develop a broader sense of history and culture while they practice language and communication skills in an international context. Yet the difficulties of organizing a Study Abroad trip can be onerous, and the perceived challenges can prevent many professors from even attempting to organize international experiences for their students. This panel is designed as a forum for sharing successes and failures, lessons learned, and suggestions for professors …

Collecting, Documenting, And Sharing Detroit Arts Culture: In And Around Wayne State, 1960s-1980s, Sandra Schemske, Joseph M. Turrini, Dennis Nawrocki, Gilda Snowden, Monica Berenyi, Diane E. Sybeldon

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

Collecting, Documenting, and Sharing Detroit Arts Culture: In and Around Wayne State, 1960s-1980s

In the 1960s, as explosive social and political movements gave rise to the rejection of post-World War II middle-class society, Wayne State University and its nearby environs emerged as a cultural force. A loosely drawn community of artists, poets, musicians and politicos became active participants in this boldly expressive movement, with much activity centered in the Cass Corridor, adjacent to campus. While this mirrored what was going on in other parts of the country, Detroiters had their own source material, inspiration, and tools for expression.

This panel …

Creative Process Beyond The Studio, Eric H. Troffkin, Danielle Aubert, Hilary Harp, Rod Northcutt, Siobhan C. Gregory

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

Creative Process Beyond the Studio

In “Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention,” psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi offers the idea that “…creativity does not happen inside people’s heads, but in the interaction between a person’s thoughts and a sociocultural context. It is a systemic rather than an individual phenomenon.”

While it remains natural, for many artists, to focus on their individual part in this creativity equation, creative process can involve, and even invite, influence and participation. Artists may work in teams, or partner with community groups, where they serve as facilitators. Artists may take up the role of instigator, …

Strange Movements: The Art Of Appendages In Contemporary Practice, Claire Lieberman, Tiffany Funk, Georgina Ruff, Katherine Sullivan

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

What is it about limbs – feet, fingers and arms, ears, noses and toes - that capture imagination across all media? This panel seeks to understand ways in which appendages provoke new thought and representations in current art practice. As implements, design components and conveyers of fantasy and erotic appeal, they serve not only as subject matter, but also as instruments of creative production. From plaster cast to erotic fetish, appendages have long played a role in artists’ vision and viewers’ perception. When removed (physically or contextually) from the body, they constitute dynamic components in the theater of human complexity. …

There's No Success Like Failure, Haylee L. Ebersole

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

This panel examines the meaning of failure and it's role in contemporary art practices. Contemporary artists strive to expand and challenge normative thought, and do so through the recognition of failure and the pursuit of the unknown. The artists presented in this panel address these ideas across a variety of mediums, utilizing traditional forms of drawing, printmaking, and ceramics in combination with new media, performance, and video.
