Oct. 25 – 28, 2017 COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN WELCOME DR. CORN Welcome. It’s a midwestern word, an Ohio word, a Columbus word, and a Columbus College of Art & Design word. We hold this sentiment close to our hearts here at CCAD, and mean it when we say it. Welcome. I was frst welcomed into this smart, open, funny, creative, brilliant, friendly, active, honest, and stimulating community a little less than two years ago, and I’m proud to call both Columbus and CCAD home. Columbus and CCAD are intimately intertwined. The Columbus you see today is what it is because of the contributions of artists and designers of our 138-year-old institution. And the city’s leaders, employers, and passionate advocates are extremely instrumental attracting the world’s future movers and shakers to CCAD. I do hope that you enjoy your stay with us, that you leave this conference with new ideas, new friends, and a renewed vision for your own practice in art and art history. Please make sure you take the time to explore our neighborhoods, galleries, and institutions. And don’t mind us if we to say hello or smile. It’s what we do. Best, Dr. Melanie Corn President Columbus College of Art & Design 2 Welcome to the 2017 SECAC meeting hosted by Columbus College of Art & Design. This year marks the 73rd annual meeting of SECAC and only the second to be held north of the Mason-Dixon line in the organization’s rich history. The CCAD community is thrilled to host the event and we cordially welcome you to Columbus, Ohio. Columbus is a smart and open city that is rapidly growing. We’re currently the 14th largest city in the U.S. and we’re home to numerous Fortune 500 companies, including L Brands and Nationwide. We also have a thriving creative economy and culture industry. Columbus boasts the third highest concentration of fashion designers in the U.S. – just behind New York and Los Angeles. Columbus is also host to the longest running flm festival in North America with the annual Columbus International Film + Video Festival, which is proudly hosted in conjunction with CCAD. However, like much of the country, our fourishing and dynamic city faces challenges in this combustible cultural climate. As a growing city, we regularly grapple with the same tensions and issues confronting our nation –political diferences, socioeconomic discrepancies, and inequities surrounding race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, and metaphysical beliefs. It’s with this current state of afairs in which a cacophony of competing voices is simultaneously scrutinized and elided that the Microscopes and Megaphones theme for this year’s conference was selected. Historically, the arts and humanities have often provided us with the perspective and knowledge where the empirical sciences have often struggled – a more nuanced and sensitive understanding the human condition, the human experience, and the human spirit. It’s through the creative practices and intellectual pursuits of art and design, the history of art, and art education, that we can more completely and successfully magnify and amplify the variety of experiences and voices of our humanity. This year’s conference will be held at the Hilton Columbus Downtown, located in the heart of the city’s Short North Arts District. During your visit, I encourage you to explore Columbus’ various neighborhoods, restaurants, cofee shops, breweries, galleries, and museums. Thanks to the generous support from our partners, you’ll receive free admission to the Columbus Museum of Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts. We also hope that you take advantage of our planned evening activities. On Thursday evening, visit our very own Beeler Gallery at CCAD and see the SECAC Fellow’s Exhibition and the Juried Exhibition followed by the keynote address from the Founder and Director of the Heidelberg Project at the Columbus Museum of Art. And on Friday evening, the Pizzuti Collection has graciously invited us to view their current exhibitions. I want to thank everyone who made this conference possible. Thank you to the community partners who helped create a robust event with engaging sites and spaces to enjoy this year’s conference. Thank you to CCAD’s faculty and staf, who always answered the call for help. Thank you to both the current SECAC President, Jason Guynes, and soon-to-be SECAC President, Sandra Reed, for their unwavering support and guidance. A special thanks goes out to the Ohio Arts Council; former SECAC Administrator, Rachel Frew; current SECAC Administrator, Christine Tate; and former Associate Provost of CCAD, Eleanor Fuchs. Finally, a very special thanks goes to CCAD’s own, Jessica Moses, without whose logistical vision and creativity this simply wouldn’t have been possible. Enjoy the 2017 SECAC Conference and welcome to Columbus!

An essential component of Guyton’s work is his commitment to social change, and he has leveraged his art on Heidelberg Street to redress the inequities caused by racism, economic imbalances, politics, and the systematic inability of the government and other support agencies to help Detroit’s poorest citizens. However during its evolution, Guyton never left his studio practice. He has been creating art for over 45 years. Guyton’s work is collected nationally and internationally and is featured in the collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Perez Museum and the Studio Museum of Harlem. He has earned over eighteen awards and fellowships, including a prestigious one-year residency at the Lorenz Haus in Basel, Switzerland. EXHIBITION JUROR TYLER CANN The 2017 Exhibition Juror is the Columbus Museum of Art’s very own curator, Tyler Cann. When asked about his approach to this exhibition, Cann said, “There’s never a single criterion for judgment when it comes to selecting work for an exhibition like SECAC. I tried to take each piece on its own terms, and think about every one according to where it positioned itself within the spectrum of creative practices.” 8 KEYNOTE SPEAKER JENENNE WHITFIELD Jenenne Whitfeld, D.D.
