SUMMARY:Exhibition:U-M Library Celebrates Language
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to browse panels about the scripts of ancient Egypt\, indigenous languages of Central and South America\, languages of Southeast Asia\, and more – including the English language and language used in graffiti and comics.\n\nThis exhibit highlights the possibilities for exploration and discovery within the library’s collections\, which are impressive on many levels. The sheer number of materials\, including more than 8.5 million volumes in locations all over campus\, and access to millions of digital books\, journals and images\, makes it one of the largest university library systems in the United States. The collection encompasses ancient documents written on papyrus\, electronic journals reporting on the latest advances in science and medicine\, and materials from nearly every period\, culture\, and way of thought in between.

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:Saturday Morning Physics
DESCRIPTION:Physics Professor Roberto Merlin's talk takes us from the late 1800's\, when Abbe published his ground-breaking paper on the limit of resolution of an optical instrument\, to the turn of the 20th century\, when the field of near-field optics experienced tremendous growth\, emphasizing recent work on sub-wavelength focusing using negative-index slabs. In the second half of the talk\, he introduces the concept of near-field plates. These are grating-like planar structures\, which provide focusing well beyond the diffraction limit\, at arbitrary frequencies. The subwavelength electromagnetic-field distributions of the plates closely resemble those of negative-index slabs. Practical implementations of these plates hold promise for near-field data storage\, non-contact sensing\, imaging\, nanolithography and wireless power transfer applications. Experimental results on a microwave near-field plate will be presented\, which demonstrate focusing of 1 GHz radiation at a resolution of LAMBDA/20.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Bad Habits: Drinks\, Drags and Drugs in Washtenaw County History
DESCRIPTION:Washtenaw County\, Ann Arbor in particular\, has hosted a number of notable events in the history of mind- and body-altering substances–Temperance crusader Carrie Nation’s visit\, performances by John Lennon and other rock acts in support of John Sinclair’s efforts to legalize marijuana\, and the opening (and eventual closing) of a Pfizer research facility–each of which finds its place in the exhibit. Yet the display also shows how Washtenaw County’s history of drugs and alcohol is part of a larger\, national story–one where Prohibition closed saloons and led to bootlegging and alcohol raids\; where drug stores and pharmacies made big money in the nineteenth century selling “magic cure-alls” that eventually became subject to regulation and professionalization\; where smoking\, an act that once seemed nearly universal\, was recently banned on the University campus\; and where D.A.R.E. programs teach kids to “Just Say No.”\n\nIn this exhibit you will see medicine bottles from historic local pharmacies\, memorabilia from local bars\, and recipe books with popular cure-alls\, historical photographs\, posters\, news articles\, and documents. Help us collect a record of your favorite local watering holes\, past and present and include your own memories of bar culture in the county. \n\nThis exhibit is a collaboration with the University of Michigan LSA Research Theme Semester titled: “Hooked: Addiction\, Society\, Culture” in conjunction with the UM Substance Abuse Research Center and the Washtenaw County Historical Society – Museum on Main Street.\n\n

SUMMARY:Film Screening:No Regret 
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis: \n\nAlthough it is not the first gay film produced in Korea\, No Regret is by far the most successful one and it ignited public discourses on homosexuality in Korea. Screened in only nine theatres in South Korea\, No Regret attracted over 40\,000 audiences\, well exceeding the industry expectation. This film marks the impressive directorial debut by Leesong Hee-il who is also openly gay. Leesong Hee-il provides insight into a gay subculture that most heterosexual directors would have a difficult time conveying. \nFilm critic Adam Hartzel wrote: \"one of the best aspects of this film is how we aren't provided the obligatory caricatures of gay 'types' on prime-time sitcoms in the United States... Refusing to follow the path towards Queer liberation espoused by sitcoms\, [No Regret] is freed to provide some refreshingly\, rip-roaring hilarious moments.” \n\nWarning: Contains frontal adult male nudity and graphic sex.
