NEWS FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF THE CLEVELAND INSTITUTE OF ARTFALL 2011

LinkFounded in 1882, The Cleveland Institute of Art is an independent

college of art and design committed to leadership and vision in

all forms of visual arts education. The Institute makes enduring

contributions to art and education and connects to the community

through gallery exhibitions, lectures, a continuing education pro-

gram and The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque.

Despite 50 years of strained relations

between their national governments,

Cubans and Clevelanders will exchange

ideas freely over the coming year, when

the Cleveland Institute of Art hosts five

contemporary Cuban artists for eight-

week residencies.

Thanks to generous funding from the

Cleveland Foundation through its Creative

Fusion initiative, CIA is launching The Cuba

Project, bringing these artists to Cleveland

to live, teach, create, share, and learn.

Each artist will spend approximately half of

a semester in residence at CIA and partici-

pate in a one-day public symposium.

“This residency program will offer the

entire Cleveland community wonderful

opportunities to connect with Cuban people

who are creating artwork and conveying

ideas about a culture that is not well known

in the USA,” said CIA President Grafton

J. Nunes. “We are enormously grateful to

the Cleveland Foundation for making these

enriching exchanges possible.”

According to Assistant Professor Lane

Cooper, CIA’s visiting artist coordinator,

the artists will conduct workshops for CIA

students, visit students’ studio spaces, and

critique their work; they will create their own

work in dedicated CIA studio space; give

talks to students in Cleveland public high

schools with which CIA already collabo-

rates; and present community talks at gal-

leries, libraries, and other public venues in

addition to the two mid-semester symposia.

Artworks from all five artists are on view in a

collaborative exhibition at MOCA Cleveland.

The Cuba Project: Cleveland Institute of Art

at MOCA runs through Dec. 31.

The Lineup

Installation artist/sculptor Abel Barroso will

be CIA’s first Cuban artist-in-residence,

arriving in mid-October and staying until

mid-December. Printmaker Osmeivy

Ortega will overlap with Barroso, arriving

in early October and staying through

early December. Painter and video artist

Alex Hernández will be in residence from

early January through early March. He will

overlap with the collaborative husband-wife

team of painter/installation artist José Ángel

Toirac and art historian Meira Marrero, who

will be in residence from early February

through the end of March.

In panel discussions featuring the guest

artists, and presentations by guest schol-

ars, the fall and spring symposia will air

critical ideas on Cuban culture, including

Cuba’s unique ethnic, racial, and religious

mixtures; poverty and shortages; Cuba’s

place in a global context; and the contrasts

between institutionalized notions of a national

society and the realities lived by Cuba’s

citizens. Alejandro de la Fuente, author

and University of Pittsburg professor, will

be the guest scholar at the the October 13,

2011 symposium; while Rachel Weiss,

author and professor at the School of the

Art Institute of Chicago, will be the guest

scholar at the Feb. 11, 2012 symposium.

Chris Whittey Named Vice President of Academic and Faculty AffairsHeld leadership posts at MECA and MICA

Christopher Whittey became CIA’s vice president of academic and faculty affairs effective

August 1, 2011.

“Chris brings a dynamic resume of thought leadership in both academic administration

and fine arts,” said CIA President Grafton J. Nunes. “At this important time of growth at

the college, I am confident Chris will be a key factor in strengthening our core academic

areas and building our national and international reach.”

Whittey came to CIA from the Maine College of Art where he served as vice president

for academic affairs and dean since 2009. Prior to that, he served as dean for academic

services and a faculty member at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

After a comprehensive international search, his appointment was unanimously approved

by a search committee of CIA’s faculty, key staff, and board members.

A practicing artist, Whittey received a master of fine arts degree from Rhode Island

School of Design and a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting from Wayne State

University. He also studied at Harvard Institute for Higher Education and the Whitney

Museum Independent Study Program.

To read more about Whittey’s career, including his work as a set builder for Saturday

Night Live, his artist fellowships, and his harvard studies, go to cia.edu/cianow.

Bridging CuLTures and

generaTions

One element that will distinguish CIA’s

Cuban artist residencies from similar resi-

dencies held across the country is that the

visits are timed so that mid-career Cuban

artists — those who established themselves

in the 1980s and 1990s — will overlap at

CIA with emerging Cuban artists. Professor

David Hart, a contemporary art scholar who

has written about Cuban art, said he

expects that having both emerging and

established artists participate in the symposia

will spark some interesting dialog.

Hart, who is faculty coordinator of the

Cuba Project along with Cooper, learned

about a generation gap of sorts in the

Cuban art world when he and two other

CIA faculty members — Associate Professors

Saul Ostrow and Charles Tucker — traveled

to Cuba in the fall of 2010 looking for can-

didates for the CIA residencies. Funded by

an initial planning from grant from the

Cleveland Foundation, the three faculty

members interviewed 44 Cuban artists in

their own studios.

“We were surprised to observe that

Cuban artists don’t necessarily identify

with a particular school or movement, but

instead distinguish themselves by gen-

eration. Younger artists tend to respond

to Cuban culture and social conditions

somewhat differently than do artists whose

careers were established in the 1980s and

1990s,” he said.

Hart, Ostrow and Tucker were not

necessarily looking for representation from

two different generations of Cuban artists

when they began their interviews last fall.

“We were looking for artists with a record

of socially responsive work, the desire and

qualifications to teach in a school of art and

design, and the ability to engage with the

community and local institutions,” said Hart.

CreaTive Fusion oF arT,

CuLTure and ideas

The Cleveland Foundation established

Creative Fusion as a multi-year initiative

to bring accomplished artists from diverse

cultures to Cleveland for extended periods

of time. These artists are “embedded within

existing cultural institutions to facilitate

the exchange of ideas and experiences,”

according to the Foundation. In its first year,

the program hosted a dancer, two visual

artists, writers and a playwright/director

from Turkey and South Africa.

Kathleen Cerveny ’69, the foundation’s

director, institutional learning and arts initia-

tives, said “Many cultural institutions are

passionate about world cultures but rarely

have the resources to host international

artists for more than one performance or

exhibition. Creative Fusion permits a

deeper engagement at the artistic level

and a richer, more lasting impact on our

Cuban Artists, continued from page 1

community through extended engagements

and frequent interaction.

“We believe Creative Fusion is unique

among artist residency programs because

each residency is a community partnership

requiring collaboration and because

residencies can be crafted to suit the

missions of host organizations. The pro-

gram is meaningful both for the artists

and the organizations that host them,”

Cerveny added.

“In my short tenure at The

Cleveland Institute of Art, I have

already become profoundly

impressed with the intellectual

and creative capital, in the form

of both its faculty and staff,that

the college can rightfully boast.”

Photographer Jerry Birchfield ’09 has a fascination with glaciers — not just as breathtaking

natural phenomena, but also as a metaphor he is exploring in his artwork.

Thanks to a 2009 First Agnes Gund Traveling Scholarship and a 2011 Ohio Arts Council

Individual Excellence Award, Birchfield traveled to Norway this summer to photograph

Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in continental Europe.

“The glacier became an icon for me, a metaphor for how belief systems are formed in

a culture,” Birchfield said. In a nutshell, glaciers gradually yet dramatically change the

environment just as the environment is gradually changing glaciers.

Birchfield — who continues to create and exhibit artwork, balancing this with work

in commercial photography — will produce a series of large-format photographs

featuring glaciers “as image and metaphor, as entrance to a discussion regarding learned

cultural beliefs.”

Apart from forming the basis of future artwork, his Norway photographs will be memen-

tos of one fabulous trip. Birchfield traveled with his wife, industrial designer Jessica (Jurca)

Birchfield ’09 (pictured below with Birchfield). “With Jessie’s interest in design, it was

fantastic for her. Art and design are everywhere in Norwegian culture. We visited a design

exhibition in Oslo and she got to speak to design students we met,” Birchfield said.

After a few days in Oslo, the couple traveled by train, boat, taxi, and then rented a car

to Jostedal, the village at the foot of the glacier. Every day for a week, they would hike

through the woods to the foot of the glacier to photograph. One day, with a professional

guide, they hiked on top of the glacier, carefully avoiding perilous crevasses.

“It was amazing. I’ve been exposed to a lot of things I wouldn’t have if my photos hadn’t

taken me there. I’m extremely grateful to CIA for providing the traveling scholarship oppor-

tunity and for preparing me very well for a career as an artist,” Birchfield said.

Carlita Alexander ’03 is an interior designer at Josh held design in new york City. she joined the firm this spring after spending six years at the internationally known firm, The rockwell Group. In a recent interview, she talked about her CIA education and the doors it has opened for her.

Your major was industrial design but your career is in interior design. Was that a big switch for you?I sometimes say I have a minor in interior design, although that’s not official. I took all the

studio classes for interior design, but not all the technical classes. After graduation, I was

more interested in looking for a job in interior design. Interestingly, the product design I

learned in industrial design has come in handy because with retail design, space really

does become more of product. Also, you have to design fixtures and things like that, so

I do a lot of product design.

Where did you first work after graduation?My first job out of CIA was at Design Forum in Dayton. We focused on branding and

strategic design. I learned a lot. From there it was very easy to get a job in New York,

which is where I wanted to be. I worked at Rockwell Group, an international architecture

and design firm, for six years, until last April.

Why did you leave Rockwell?I loved Rockwell; it was a nice culture and environment in which to be creative. On the

other hand, it’s good to get more experience, to change and to grow, and I wanted to be

in a smaller firm where I could help the company grow. Also, the economy has changed,

as everyone knows, and I think you’re going to see more and more boutique design firms

in this economy. Josh Held Design offered a great opportunity for me. Right now I’m work-

ing on the renovation of the W Hotel on the Chicago lakeshore, which is very exciting; it’s a

showcase of high-end design.

What did you gain from your CIA education that you value most in your career today?Communicating ideas visually is the most valuable thing for me, and it’s sort of a lost art;

not many people can do it quickly and well. In fact I taught drawing to my colleagues at

Rockwell, just to try and get people comfortable doing perspective drawings and doing

them fast. It makes me appreciate CIA, which was just so amazing at teaching people

how to draw, because without it, I don’t think I’d have this confidence, this spark. It really

is an asset as an interior

designer because every-

thing you do revolves

around being able to

communicate visually.

Nothing ever translates

faster than sketching.

I credit (faculty mem-

bers) Richard Fiorelli,

Mike Gollini, and Scott

Richardson.

Apart from that, I learned

how to work with people at CIA. Collaboration was really stressed, and it has been helpful to

my career. CIA is set up as a studio environment; there’s an openness that comes from the

way the studio is set up but also the way design is taught there… everybody sees what

you’re doing and I think that just pushes you to be more creative; it makes you work hard.

I feel like I was always around people that were passionate.

I think one of the reasons they liked me at Rockwell was because I wasn’t afraid to share

any ideas, and I was always willing to lead discussions. In fact I started a monthly interiors

breakfast. People would share what they were working on so we wouldn’t repeat the

same mistakes.

What would you say to a high school student considering CIA?The design program is one of the top in the country. You can’t really get much better

in terms of the tools you are going to graduate with. And there’s such a broad range of

things you can do and places you can go after graduation.

What’s your favorite thing about New York City?What I like most about New York City is the rich culture. I like to think of this place as a

playground for young professionals (and everybody else) with an endless array of things to

do that can enrich your life.

Dear Alumni and Friends of CIA:What a generous welcome I have received from the creative people who make up this diverse CIA community since I took office in June

as director of annual giving and alumni relations. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the coming months, at Cinematheque

films, exhibition openings, alumni and donor receptions, and other gatherings.

I came to CIA from the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland where I was development manager for more than three years. Prior to

that, I served in the development office of University Hospitals Case Medical Center, following a 10-year stint at KeyBank, where I was a

relationship manager and advisor within the bank’s Nonprofit Endowment and Foundation Relations Division.

Looking ahead, I am wide open to new ideas for re-connecting with alumni and offering meaningful events for friends. I’m particularly

interested in using social media as a tool for keeping you informed of happenings at CIA and soliciting your ideas. We are now laying the

groundwork for what will be a CIA alumni association and, again, I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as this takes shape.

I look forward to working with CIA’s newly appointed Assistant Director of Annual Giving and Alumni Relations Liz Huff, who joined our

staff in August. Stop in and say hello next time you are in the Gund Building or contact me at 216.421.7412 or [email protected]. I am

both honored and thrilled to be part of the CIA team and I look forward to an exciting and dynamic future.

Warmly,

You’re a Columbus resident.

What’s your connection to the

Cinematheque?

I started coming up to Cleveland every

weekend to visit my mother during her

illness. Since she died last December,

I’ve continued coming up on weekends

to settle her estate and have work done

on the house she left me. A year or so

ago, I started going to the Cinematheque

on weekends and discovered I really like

the films they show. I especially like it

when they show older movies that have

been restored, but I also like foreign

films. It’s educational when you go to the

Cinematheque; you see films that you really

can’t see any place else.

A lot of people love the Cinematheque.

The New York Times called it “one of

the country’s best repertory movie

theaters.” However, not everyone

plans a gift. What made you decide

to go from film buff to film patron?

First, I decided I may as well become a

Cinematheque member, since I attend

so often. When I sent in my membership

payment, the envelope had a little box

to check off if you wanted more informa-

tion about including the Cinematheque in

your will. So I just checked that and pretty

shortly afterward, I got a call from Margaret

(Gudbranson, CIA’s director of major gifts

and planned giving). She’s been really help-

ful. She sent me some documents that

showed me how to list Cinematheque. It

was pretty easy, and timely. I was looking

for a place to list as a beneficiary because

I have no children and no other relatives.

I didn’t want my money to just go to the

State of Ohio, which is what would happen

if I didn’t name a beneficiary.

You’re really thinking ahead.

I have fond memories of going to the

Palace Theater with my parents and seeing

movies in that big, old theater. I’m hoping

that long after I’m gone there’s still a place

like the Cinematheque showing movies in

a theater on a big screen. Maybe after I’m

gone the next generation takes over.

For information about how you could

include CIA in your estate plans, contact

Margaret Ann Gudbranson, esq., CIA’s

director of major gifts and planned giving,

at [email protected] or 216.421.8016.

Honor Roll of DonorsDear Friends, Once again during the 2010–2011 fiscal year, alumni and friends of the Cleveland Institute of Art provided crucial resources to the college through their generous contributions. In fact, more than 1,400 individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations gave to CIA’s Annual Fund, made restricted gifts for scholarship support or other important initiatives, or left bequests to benefit the Institute. We list them here, in our Honor Roll of Donors, with deepest gratitude. n Given our nation’s stressed economy, we are especially grateful that these supporters made it a priority to give to CIA. The strong support of members of the Institute’s board of directors deserves special recognition. Collectively, the supporters listed on these pages helped us bridge the gap between operating expenses and revenue from tuition and endowments.

We are grateful for the generosity of loyal friends and alumni of CIA, whose interests range from higher education to emerging artists, CIA gallery exhibitions, Continuing Education pro-grams, and The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, which recently completed the year-long celebration of its 25th anniversary. Alumni in particular send a powerful message through their giving: they value the education they received and they want current and future students to enjoy the benefits of a high caliber visual arts education.

To all those who contributed to the Institute during the 2010–2011 fiscal year and thereby earned a place on our Honor Roll of Donors, we extend our heartfelt thanks. To view our full 2010–2011 Annual Report, please go to cia.edu/annualreport.

General Motors Foundation Grant Funds Scholarships, Equipment, InstructionNine industrial design (ID) students and seven digital art students have

been awarded General Motors Foundation Scholarships for the 2011–2012

academic year. The scholarships are funded by a grant to CIA from the

General Motors Foundation.

Digital arts majors offered at CIA, include T.I.M.E.-Digital Arts, video,

animation, and game design. Because General Motors is committed to

broadening diversity in the transportation design field, some of the ID scholar-

ships were earmarked for women ID majors and others for ID majors from

racial minorities under-represented in this field.

The scholarship funding was part of a $70,000 General Motors grant that

also offset the costs of equipment purchases for the industrial design depart-

ment; underwrote a Saturday morning automotive design class taught by

working GM designers; and funded course refinement by CIA faculty members

to ensure that the Institute continues to educate designers to be innovative

thinkers and creative problem solvers, ready for professional careers.
