SUMMARY:Tiff Massey - Whatupdoe | The Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Tiff Massey is an artist whose practice centers around adornment and community. Massey creates jewelry\, sculpture\, performance\, video\, music\, and immersive environments with large-scale jewelry pieces and quilts. Massey was the first Black woman to earn an MFA in metalsmithing from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. She draws on 1980s hip-hop culture and her experiences as a Detroit native to explore the concept of adornment in African diaspora and contemporary issues surrounding race\, class\, and popular culture. \nMassey merges her art practice with meaningful community engagement to explore the relationship between identity\, public space\, and community. Her installation 7 Mile + Livernois\, currently on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts\, refers to the neighborhood at the heart of Detroit’s Black business and fashion district. It is also where Massey grew up\, and the site of a new art and community space Massey is building that blends her craft with her drive for community kinship. \nTiff Massey’s art has been featured in solo and group shows around the US and internationally\, and has garnered multiple awards. Massey’s work is in the permanent collections of many institutions\, including the Museum of Art and Design in New York and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia. She is the winner of the 2021 United States Artists Fellowship and the 2019 Art Jewelry Forum Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant\, a two-time winner of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s Knights Arts Challenge\, and a 2015 Kresge Artists Fellowship recipient. \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. \nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public. \nThe Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series Fall 2024 Season\nThis fall\, the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series brings respected leaders and innovators from a broad spectrum of creative fields to Ann Arbor’s historic Michigan Theater for weekly in-person events. \nDetroit PBS and PBS Books\, in partnership with the Stamps School\, will stream each week’s event Fridays at 8pm. \nSee the full schedule of events livestreamed by PBS Books here. \nSome programs may not be available online\, depending on artist requests.
