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:Exhibition:Robert Wilson: Video 50
DESCRIPTION:The tiny dramas that comprise Robert Wilson's Video 50 contain aspects of his hallmark aesthetic: surreal or dream-like imagery\, the absence of a linear narrative\, the conflation of seemingly unrelated characters and micro-stories\, and a mesmerizingly slow pace. Video 50 consists of a randomly arranged set of 30-second \"episodes\,\" a few of which feature notable French personalities of the 1970s-perfumier Hélène Rochas stares down a mugger\, culture minister Michel Guy struggles to open a dresser drawer-and Wilson thought of these as miniature portraits or character studies. The creator and director of aggressively experimental theater\, Wilson first came to prominence with works from the mid-1970s such as The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973) and Einstein on the Beach (1976). These lavish\, unusually long productions broke and then redefined every convention of theater. In Video 50 his shorter time-based portraits explore the intersection of narrative and still-life\, seductively dissolving the distance between viewer and subject.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:In the great experiment humans that are conducting on the biosphere\, urban areas are the \"preliminary data\,\" where everything from biogeochemical cycles to evolutionary processes have been rapidly and profoundly transformed.  These changes are the endpoints of long chains of unintended consequences initiated by human actions designed\, in almost every case\, for an unrelated purpose. In the pristine world of the mind\, theoretical ecologists seek to deduce how processes at one level (generally one deemed less interesting like the spatial distribution of habitats) alter results at another (usually one thought to be more interesting like species richness and abundance).  Urban areas challenge ecologists to develop a more unified view of the field and ecological theory plays a central role in this unification. Through models of urban biodiversity\, invasive species\, trophic dynamics\, diseases\, physiology\, evolution and human health\, Dr. Adler will seek to illustrate this unified view.\nGiven that current urban environments are windows into the future of the entire planet\, this unified view can provide the framework for better understanding the results of the great experiment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Michael Frank: Language and Thought
DESCRIPTION:What is the relationship between language and thought? Traditional approaches to this question have staked out extreme positions: either that language determines the shape of the thoughts you can entertain\, or else that natural language is only a thin overlay on top of a more basic “language of thought.”\nWork in the domain of numerical cognition supports a middle view: that language is a tool that can help with complex cognitive tasks by supplementing core non-linguistic numerical abilities. But if number systems are tools\, then the way these tools are structured should make a big difference to how they are used and what they are good for. In this talk\, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural evidence from Brazil\, India\, and Papua New Guinea\, will be described showing some of the incredible variation in number representations across the world and how these representations affect the cognition of their users.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Disability Culture: \"An Ingenious Way to Live\"
DESCRIPTION:This event will feature aspects of lecture and performance.  ASL and CART services provided.  All are welcome!\n\nPetra Kuppers is a disability culture activist and a community artist. She teaches in performance and disability studies at the University of Michigan. She is the Artistic Director of The Olimpias Performance Research Series\, and Olimpias workshops\, installations\, performances and exhibitions have been created and shown in Europe\, the US\, New Zealand and Australia. The Olimpias projects are community-based\, collaborative\, and deal with disability culture issues (more info at www.umich.edu/~petra). Petra’s books include Disability and Contemporary Performance: Bodies on Edge (Routledge\, 2003)\, The Scar of Visibility: Medical Performances and Contemporary Art (Minnesota\, 2007) and Community Performance: An Introduction (Routledge\, 2007). She has also co-edited with Gwen Robertson The Community Performance Reader (Routledge\, 2007).\n\nNeil Marcus writes\, \"Disability is an art – an ingenious way to live\". This award-winning playwright\, actor\, poet\, and performance artist earned national acclaim when he crafted his experiences as a man living with dystonia\, a severe neurological disorder\, into a powerful staged work. Storm Reading\, first produced in the late eighties\, challenged audiences to reevaluate conventional ideas about disability and set a standard for performing artists with disabilities. Voted one of Los Angeles’ top ten plays of 1993\, it enjoyed a nearly decade-long run. Since then\, Marcus’ passionate stance toward life has infused his artistic choices. Believing that \"life is a performance\,\" he has cast his creative net wide\, participating in a range of diverse projects.
