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:The evolution of separate sexes (dioecy) has occurred numerous times across the tree of life. Nevertheless\, the evolutionary forces that promote and maintain dioecy remain elusive. Here we found evidence for at least 133 transitions between sexual systems in mosses\, representing an extremely high level of sexual lability. In sharp contrast to predictions\, the transition rate from hermaphroditism to dioecy was twice as high as the reverse transition. These results have important implications for understanding the genomic and macroevolutionary consequences of hermaphroditism and dioecy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making Harmoniousness: “Silk and Bamboo” Music and Chinese Modernity Politics in Shanghai
DESCRIPTION:The \"Silk and Bamboo\" (sizhu 絲竹) ensemble music of Shanghai is generally known as a traditional Chinese genre. Its sounds are commonly celebrated as embodying the Chinese ideals of harmoniousness and blendedness. Despite these traditional images\, however\, the genre established its present-day urban identity largely through modern developments in the early twentieth century\, when Shanghai grew as a semi-colonial metropolitan. In this period\, especially during the interwar decades\, musical reformers of diverse visions and backgrounds were gathering increasing social and political capital to pursue their modernity agendas. Those who advocated Western classical music as the foundation of modern Chinese music clashed with those who defended the validity of native musical establishments and sounds. Many of the latter\, whom I describe as defenders in the politics of Chinese musical modernity\, drew from \"Silk and Bamboo\" music and ideals to maintain a refined Chineseness in the rapidly changing soundscape of modern China. But these defenders also embraced selected Western musical practices to pursue their modernity interests. In the lecture\, I will examine the development and discourses of \"Silk and Bamboo\" music as a constitutive force of Chinese musical modernity. Development of the genre after 1949\, especially in the past two decades\, will also be discussed.\n\nLecture is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.\n\nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with\n\nPerformance by Chamber Ensemble of the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra \n\nPresented by University Musical Society\, sponsored by the Confucius Institute at U-M.\nFriday\, February 10 | 8 pm\nRackham Auditorium \nFor tickets to the performance\, please visit www.ums.org

SUMMARY:Performance:William Fitzsimmons
DESCRIPTION:William Fitzsimmons is\, by his own testimony\, one of the oddest people you will ever meet. Born the youngest child of two blind parents in Pittsburgh\, he grew up in a house filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The household was suffused with pianos\, guitars\, trombones\, talking birds\, classical records\, family sing-a-longs\, bedtime stories\, and the bellowing of a pipe organ\, which his father built into the house with his own hands. When his father's orchestral records were not resonating through the walls\, his mother would educate him on the folk stylings of James Taylor\, Joni Mitchell\, Bob Dylan\, and Simon & Garfunkel. After achieving his goal of becoming a practicing therapist\, William returned again to his love of crafting and playing songs. Somewhere between a singing therapist and a counselor who writes songs\, he is often compared to contemporaries Sufjan Stevens\, Iron and Wine\, and the late Elliott Smith. He uses banjo\, melodica\, ukulele\, mandolin\, and sometimes electronic elements in his music. William's new release\, \"Gold In The Shadow\,\" is a musical reflection of the personal resuscitation and psychological renovation\, which took place in the years following his divorce. Based on a specific set of psychopathological disorders from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV)\, he describes the songs as \"a real and long-coming confrontation with personal demons\, past mistakes\, and the specter of mental illness that has hovered over me for the great majority of my life.\" However\, whereas nearly the whole of William's previous albums have dealt with the bleak and somber side of inter- and intrapersonal disaster\, \"Gold\"is a work focused on healing. William continues: \"I had reached the point where I was either going to yield to my sicknesses or engage them headlong. In either case\, I could no longer continue the way I was.\"
