Cranbrook Academy of Art Public Lecture with Noah Breuer - Republishing the Archive
In his lecture, “Republishing the Archive,” Breuer will discuss cultural legacy, authorship, the tension between appropriation and contemporary artistic production.
Noah Breuer is an American artist and Professor of Print Media at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. His practice occupies the intersection of traditional printmaking and 21st-century digital technology, utilizing this hybrid approach to examine themes of family identity, labor, and the Jewish diaspora.
Breuer’s current research focuses on the cultural legacy of early-20th-century Jewish-owned textile printing companies in Czech Bohemia. Through what he describes as a “reclamation project,” Breuer investigates his own family’s lost industrial history, resurrecting and reinterpreting archival designs to explore the tension between ancestral memory and contemporary artistic ownership.
