The Graham Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2019 Carter Manny Award. Ph.D. students must be nominated by their department to apply for the Carter Manny Award. The award is open to students officially enrolled in schools in the US and Canada, regardless of citizenship.

The Carter Manny Award supports dissertation research and writing by promising scholars whose projects have architecture as their primary concern and have the potential to shape contemporary discourse about architecture and impact the field. Projects may be drawn from the various fields of inquiry supported by the Graham Foundation: architectural history, theory, and criticism; design; engineering; landscape architecture; urban planning; urban studies; the visual arts; and other related fields. The award assists students enrolled in graduate programs in architecture, art history, the fine arts, humanities, and the social sciences working on architecture topics.

Deadline: September 15, 2018

Graham Foundation Announces Inaugural Fellows of New Fellowship Program:

Brendan Fernandes, Torkwase Dyson, Martine Syms, Mark Wasiuta, and David Hartt

The Graham Foundation is pleased to announce its inaugural Fellows as part of the organization’s new Graham Foundation Fellowship program: Brendan Fernandes, Torkwase Dyson, Martine Syms, Mark Wasiuta, and David Hartt. Integrating the Foundation’s grantmaking and exhibition programs, the new Fellowship provides monetary support for the development and production of new and challenging works and the opportunity to present these projects in an exhibition at the Foundation’s Madlener House galleries in Chicago. Artist David Hartt piloted the new program with his new body of work in the forest, which premiered at the Graham in the fall of 2017.

The Fellowship program extends the legacy of the Foundation’s first awards, made in 1957 and 1958. These initial fellowships provided a diverse group of practitioners a platform to pursue experimental ideas in the field, and they included alumni such as Pritzker Prize winning architects Balkrishna V. Doshi and Fumihiko Maki, designer Harry Bertoia, photographer Harry M. Callahan, sculptor Eduardo Chillida, experimental architect Frederick J. Kiesler, and painter Wilfredo Lam, among others. The 2018 Fellows will continue this tradition of exploring new perspectives on spatial practices and design culture.

“As with the very first Fellows of the Graham, this new Fellowship program provides crucial direct support to individuals to make new work possible,” said Graham Foundation Director Sarah Herda, “and creates an opportunity to share this work with new publics through our exhibition program at the Madlener House in Chicago.”

Each year the vision of the Graham Foundation to advance new ideas across the field of architecture is realized through our international grantmaking program and the public programs we produce at the Madlener House in Chicago.

In 2017 the Graham Foundation commissioned two original exhibitions at the Madlener House, produced a wide range of public programs, and the award of over $1M in new grants to individuals and organizations around the world.

Also, this year 96 diverse and boundary pushing projects funded by the Graham Foundation were realized in the form of exhibitions, publications, films, performances, research, and site-specific installations.

Many grantees also participated in this year’s exhibitions and events at the Graham Foundation. Installed in its historic Madlener House, the Foundation commissioned Spaces without drama or surface is an illusion, but so is depth, an exhibition that examined the recent proliferation of collage in architectural representation in relationship to scenography and theatrical set design curated by Wonne Ickx and Ruth Estévez: LIGA-Space for Architecture (Feb 16–Jul 1, 2017). In the fall, the Foundation also presented in the forest (September 14, 2017–January 6, 2018), a new commission by artist David Hartt, investigating the relationship between ideology, architecture, and the environment by revisiting architect Moshe Safdie’s unfinished 1968 Habitat Puerto Rico project. We also presented 26 public programs including talks, performances, and other events. Additionally, the Foundation curated a satellite Graham Foundation Bookshop at the second Chicago Architecture Biennial, a project that the Foundation incubated and launched in partnership with Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events in 2015.
