Recent projects have addressed topics ranging from the current Iraq war to the politics of bicycling in a city of freeways. In her slogan-adorned sweater sets, each outfit becomes a wearable canvas, literally weaving together the personal and the political, the aesthetic and the everyday. Auerbach's installation at UMMA will transform the Museum's most highly visible space\u2013the Irving Stenn Jr. Family Project Gallery\u2013into a showcase for her politically charged, socially engaged knitwear. Appropriating strategies of presentation and display from the high-end clothing market, this unconventional installation will encourage viewers to ask questions about how we experience different types of cultural spaces, how we perceive the relationship between one type of luxury good (fashion) and another (art), and how both political and aesthetic discourses are framed in contemporary society.\n\nThis project is made possible in part by the W.

At the same time, photographic media have long since taken over the representation of real-world events, both contemporary and historical. Untitled (History Painting): Painting and Public Life in the 21st Century investigates painting's continuing viability as a means of addressing historical events and how they are represented in a culture dominated by photographic and digital media. The artists in the exhibition are united both by their use of photographic (or cinematic) source material drawn from the public sphere and by their engagement with questions of historical representation and collective memory. Devoted exclusively to work produced since the year 2000, the exhibition makes no attempt to be comprehensive. Instead, the exhibition charts one constellation of positions at the intersection of painting, photography, and the public imagination. Rather than simply illustrating the impact of photography or current events on contemporary painting, these positions represent an active, critical engagement with some of the most pressing issues facing artists and viewers today.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"312-910297@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/312", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"Alfred Taubman Gallery I", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["visual arts"], "website":"http:\/\/umma.umich.edu\/view\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":74, "first_occurrence":910256 } , "2594-920233": { "datetime_modified":"20101111T175838", "datetime_start":"20090717T130000", "datetime_end":"20090717T150000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2009-07-17", "date_end":"2009-07-17", "time_start":"13:00:00", "time_end":"15:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Art Fair Afternoons", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Art Fair Afternoons", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Art Fair visitors will once again be able to cool off in the galleries and Museum store at UMMA and enjoy a variety of musical interludes every afternoon.

The gifts are part of a national gifts program entitled \"The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States.\"\n\nHERB & DOROTHY tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. In the early 1960s, when very little attention was paid to Minimalist and Conceptual Art, Herb and Dorothy Vogel quietly began purchasing the works of unknown artists. Devoting all of Herb's salary to purchase art they liked, and living on Dorothy's paycheck alone, they continued collecting artworks guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. After thirty years of meticulous collecting and buying, the Vogels managed to accumulate over 2,000 pieces, filling every corner of their tiny one bedroom apartment. HERB & DOROTHY is directed by first time filmmaker Megumi Sasaki. The film received the Golden Starfish Award for the Best Documentary Film and Audience Award from the 2008 Hamptons International Film Festival. It has also received Audience Awards from the 2008 SILVERDOCS Film Festival and the 2009 Philadelphia Cinefest.
