SUMMARY:Exhibition:Face of Our Time: Jacob Aue Sobol\, Jim Goldberg\, Zanele Muholi\, Daniel Schwartz\, Richard Misrach
DESCRIPTION:Face of Our Time examines more than 100 works by five photographers–Jacob Aue Sobol\, Jim Goldberg\, Zanele Muholi\, Daniel Schwartz\, and Richard Misrach–who operate within what Walker Evans referred to as the \"documentary style.\" Sharing an interest in making pictures that capture what the world looks like\, they observe the sometimes volatile civil and political transformations facing society and look reflectively at contemporary culture\, recording history as it unfolds slowly over time. Aue Sobol's gentle and sculptural pictures reveal the hardships of life in the Arctic\; Goldberg's multilayered series includes fragmented narratives from the migration of illegal immigrants from Africa to Europe\; Muholi commemorates and celebrates the histories and struggles that black lesbians face in her native South Africa\; Schwartz reveals the overlapping narratives between the Silk Route's ancient history and the military and economic power struggles that it faces today\; and the Richard Misrach photographs\, from his recently published book\, Destroy This Memory\, are an informal\, yet personal collection of pictures taken in the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina tragedy in New Orleans.\n\nFace of Our Time: Jacob Aue Sobol\, Jim Goldberg\, Zanele Muholi\, Daniel Schwartz\, Richard Misrach is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Generous support is provided by Pro Helvetia\, Swiss Arts Council.\n\nFace of Our Time at UMMA is made possible in part by the Lois Zenkel Photographic Exhibitions Fund\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund. \n\nImage caption: Jim Goldberg\, Making Fire\, Democratic Republic of Congo\, 2008\; chromogenic print\; 30 in. x 40 in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mark di Suvero: Tabletops
DESCRIPTION:Preeminent American sculptor Mark di Suvero (b. 1933) is best known for his dynamic and monumental works made of industrial steel and salvaged materials that populate museum grounds\, landscapes\, and urban environments around the world. In addition to countless exhibitions and awards\, in March 2011 di Suvero was honored with the National Medal of the Arts by President Obama in a White House ceremony. This exhibition\, organized by UMMA and on view exclusively in Ann Arbor\, features approximately 15 of di Suvero's rarely exhibited smaller scale pieces\, or tabletops\, from the 1950s to the present. The tabletops are not maquettes of larger-scale works but an expressionistic and engaging genre all their own\, an outlet for exploring ideas relating to the calligraphic nature of form\, balance\, proportion\, and movement. Drawing from numerous private collections as well as the artist's studio\, the exhibition offers the opportunity to experience this intimate work in the Museum's ground level\, glass-walled Irving Stenn\, Jr\, Family Project Gallery\, adjacent to the two di Suvero outdoor steel sculptures on the Museum's grounds–Orion (2006) and Shang (1984–85).\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the Office of the President of the University of Michigan\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Recent Acquisitions: Curator's Choice\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:This is the first part of a two-part exhibition introducing exciting\, recently acquired works from UMMA's collections gifted to the museum during the past five years. Recent Acquisitions: Curator's Choice\, Part I presents a first look at artworks\, mostly prints\, drawings\, and photographs by artists as diverse as Annie Leibovitz\, Edward Steichen\, and Rembrandt van Rijn. Carole McNamara\, Senior Curator of Western Art\, chose works that focus on some of the enduring and compelling themes that have occupied artists in Europe and America. One is the preoccupation with the human form as an expression of ideas\, feelings\, and sensations. This selection begins with the tradition of the academic nude study and progresses to embrace different genres\, from both secular and religious contexts. Another selection-landscapes and cityscapes-are each opportunities for artists to speak to our relationship to the natural world-both in how we experience landscape as well as how we construct our own urban environments.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The Arab Spring: One Year In\"
DESCRIPTION:With the demise of Tunisia’s president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali on Jan. 14\, 2011\, the protests now called the ”˜Arab Spring’ had scored their first success. Protests had begun in Algeria at that time\, and a few days later spread to Egypt\, leading to Husni Mubarak’s resignation on Jan. 23rd. New forms of protest\, and a new powerful demand for civil rights and dignity emerged\, as the world was watching in surprise. \nOne year later\, a panel of UM experts will ask: What has really happened? What did the uprisings achieve? Where did they fail? \nWhat are the prospects for the near and distant future? \nPanelists:\nMark Tessler\, Samuel J. Eldersveld Collegiate Professor of Political Science and Vice Provost for International Affairs\nJuan Cole\, Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History and Director\, Center for South Asian Studies\nWijdan Alsayegh\, Department of Near Eastern Studies\nSarai Aharoni\, Schusterman Visiting Israeli Lecturer\, Frankel Center for Judaic Studies \nAtef Said\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Sociology\nSusanne Koelbl\, foreign correspondent\, Der Spiegel (Berlin)\, 2011-2012 Knight-Wallace Fellow\n

SUMMARY:Film Screening:BROTHER OUTSIDER: THE LIFE OF BAYARD RUSTIN 
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 16th - 4-6pm\n\nSchool of Social Work (1080 S. University)\n\nEducational Conference Center\n\nRefreshments provided\n\nAnd a brief discussion of the event: \nDuring his 60-year career as an activist\, organizer and “troublemaker\,” Bayard Rustin formulated many of the strategies that propelled the American civil rights movement. In 1963\, Rustin brought his unique skills to the crowning glory of his civil rights career: his work organizing the March on Washington\, the biggest protest America had ever seen. But his open homosexuality forced him to remain in the background\, marking him again and again as a “brother outsider.” \n\nA reflection and discussion facilitated by UM students with a personal friend and colleague of both Dr. King and Bayard Rustin follows the viewing of the film.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Peace in Action Here & At Home: Translating Passion and Thought into Appropriate Action
DESCRIPTION:“The logical consequence of study and thought is action.  Otherwise\, this whole business of education is a sham\,” stated Western Michigan University President James Miller when introducing Martin Luther King\, Jr. for a 1963 address on social justice.  With this in mind\, how can and do we translate cognition and awareness into action and practice?  MLK recognized that peace is not passive\, but active\, noting: “True peace is not merely the absence of tension\; it is the presence of justice.”  So how can we demonstrate peace in action locally and globally and what are our challenges?  How do cultural norms here and at home affect our action?   This two-hour session will explore these questions through interactive engagement and dialogue\, and will provide concrete tools to build capacity to translate thought into action here and at home.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shelby Lynne
DESCRIPTION:The voice of Alabama songstress Shelby Lynne is an addictive thing\, whether applied to classic or contemporary country\, pop\, R&B\, or any other style she's favored since coming on the scene in Nashville in the 1980s. Shelby has sung with bands of various kinds\, and a few years back she did a legendary Ark show that proved she was one of the very few artists who should be permitted to cover the songs of Dusty Springfield. Tonight Shelby returns with brand new music! \"Revelation Road\,\" Shelby's most personal record yet\, is hot off the presses (or hard drives). She wrote\, recorded and produced the album\, which leads off with the title track and first single\, \"Revelation Road\,\" a stirring reflection on reckoning and redemption. Join us for this intimate evening with a major artist in the field of American roots music who has followed her instincts and forged her own brilliant path.
