SUMMARY:Exhibition:Treasures Rediscovered
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition features 22 important sculptures that now for the first time can be ascribed to specific Buddhist sites such as Xiangtanshan\, Longmen\, and Tianlonghsan. The sculptures–steles\, full figures\, and heads of divinities\, as well as funerary objects–provide 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–220 CE) through the Tang Dynasty (618–907 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. Wallach Foundation\, and an anonymous donor. Contributions were also received from Giuseppe Eskenazi\, London\; Dorothy Tapper Goldman\; James J. Lally\; Dr. David and Mrs. Elvi Menke\; and Howard and Mary Ann Rogers.\n\nThis Ann Arbor presentation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Center for Chinese Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:UMMA Projects: Lisa Anne Auerbach
DESCRIPTION:July 11 through October 11\, 2009\n\nOften combining wry humor with a biting critique of the complacency and routine of modern life\, Lisa Anne Auerbach's subversive brand of post-punk\, DIY aesthetics mixes art and politics in a manner both highly personal and thoroughly embedded in contemporary culture. 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–the Irving Stenn Jr. Family Project Gallery–into 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. Hawkins Ferry Fund and UMMA's New Visions Venture Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Untitled (History Painting)
DESCRIPTION:May 23 through September 20\, 2009\n\nThe use and translation of photographic imagery is perhaps the most significant development in painting of the past half century. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jay Webber
DESCRIPTION:Frankfort\, MI-raised songwriter Jay Webber has a percussive acoustic guitar style that adds  urgency and power to his music. His shows are much more rhythmic than most other singer- songwriter concerts\, with jazz\, blues\, folk\, Latin\, and boogie sounds all married to thought- provoking lyrics\, a voice a lot like James Taylor's\, and lots of onstage energy. Jay Webber\, says  Martin Kohn of the Detroit Free Press\, is \"too jazzy to be folk\, too folk to be jazz\, too folk and  jazzy to be pop or rock.\" We just call it good music! After Jay released his \"Live at the Ark\"  album a couple of years ago\, word spread about his talents\, and over the last year he's divided  his time among Michigan\, Texas\, a creativity-recharging float down the Platte River\, and  Sarasota\, Florida\, where he has worked with Latin percussionist El Chino.
