The Graham Foundation is pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 Carter Manny Award. Since the establishment of this award in 1996, the Graham Foundation has awarded over $815,000 in recognition of promising doctoral students whose dissertations represent original and advanced scholarship in architecture with exciting potential to move the field in new directions. The applications are reviewed by a diverse panel of recognized scholars within architectural discourse. Two Carter Manny Awards are given each year, one for dissertation research and one for writing. Additionally, this year three students received Citations of Special Recognition.

The winner of the 2018 Carter Manny Award for writing and a $20,000 award is Kylie R. J. Seltzer, a PhD candidate at University of Pittsburgh's Department of History of Art and Architecture. Seltzer's dissertation, Housing Identities: Displaying Race and Environment in Paris, 1870–1892, analyzes the intersection of race and architecture through the subject of housing in nineteenth-century Paris.

The winner of the 2018 Carter Manny Award for research and a $15,000 award is Emine Seda Kayim, PhD candidate in the A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan. Kayim's dissertation, Stasi as Architectural Producer: Surveillance and Scientific Management in the East German Built Environment, 1961–1989, explores the German Democratic Republic’s (GDR) Ministry of State Security—known as the Stasi—as an architectural producer to examine its largely unexplored involvement in the East German built environment, interrogating the multifaceted and coconstitutive operations of state surveillance and building industry between production and use.

Additionally, three students have been awarded Citations of Special Recognition for their dissertation projects. The list of citation winners follows below.

The award and citation winners were selected by an external panel after a competitive review of forty-eight applications from doctoral students throughout the US and Canada who were nominated by their departments to apply for the award.

This year’s review panelists were Alexander Eisenschmidt (Associate Professor, College of Architecture, Design and the Arts, University of Illinois at Chicago); Alison Fisher (Harold and Margot Schiff Associate Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Art Institute of Chicago); and Alona Nitzan-Shiftan (Associate Professor and Chair, Architecture Program, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology).

The Graham Foundation offers this annual award in honor of the memory of Carter H. Manny (1918–2017) and his long and distinguished service to the Foundation since its inception in 1956, first as a trustee, then as the Foundation’s third director from 1971–93, and as director emeritus in his retirement.

Applications for the 2019 Carter Manny Award are due November 15, 2018. To learn more, see the award guidelines here.

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.

We are honored to share the compiled list of grantee work that came to fruition in 2017—please read on for select highlights and links to the full list of grantee projects.

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.
