The sculptures\u2013steles, full figures, and heads of divinities, as well as funerary objects\u2013provide a comprehensive view of how art manifests ritual practice and reveals, through iconography, the transmission and transformation of cultures from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE\u2013220 CE) through the Tang Dynasty (618\u2013907 CE). The exhibition will explore both indigenous and imported trends during the period. Emphasis will be placed on works from the sixth century CE, a time of great intellectual ferment and artistic creation, when change and innovation occurred in political and Buddhist centers in China.\n\nThis exhibition and tour are organized by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University. Major support for the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue came from the AMS Foundation for the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities, the Miriam and Ira D.

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":"312-910299@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 } , "167-909439": { "datetime_modified":"20101111T175603", "datetime_start":"20090719T140000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2009-07-19", "date_end":"", "time_start":"14:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Tours of the New UMMA", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Tours of the New UMMA", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Other", "event_type_id":"22", "description":"Take a free guided tour of the new UMMA!
