SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life
DESCRIPTION:Fluxus emerged in the early 1960s as a loose\, international network of artists\, composers\, and designers-\"led\" by Lithuanian-born American artist George Maciunas (1931-1978)- that was noted for blurring the boundaries between art and life. Fluxus artists like Maciunas\, Nam June Paik\, George Brecht\, and Yoko Ono\, among many others\, challenged the notion of high art by creating unassuming\, often humorous objects and performances that redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that \"anything can be art and anyone can do it.\" Because of their disregard for traditional artistic media\, many of the objects in the exhibition are-often by design-acutely resistant to conventional forms of museum display. Variously conceived as carriers of ideas\, absurdist send-ups of consumer products\, and invitations to direct\, playful participation by the viewer\, these works attempt to undermine the idea that art is separate from the activity of living one's life. Through 116 works\, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life will introduce visitors to the study and appreciation of art as an exciting and intellectually rewarding experience\, and to the notion that art is something that can play an active role in their own approaches to life's essential questions.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Constance and Walter Burke\, Dartmouth College Class of 1944\, the Marie-Louise and Samuel R. Rosenthal Fund\, and the Ray Winfield Smith 1918 Fund. UMMA's installation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Arts at Michigan\, and the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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:Performance:Hot Tuna
DESCRIPTION:From their days playing together as teenagers to their current acoustic and electric blues\, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years – yes! – than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady\, the founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna.\nThe pair began playing together while growing up in the Washington D.C. area\, where Jack’s father was a dentist and Jorma’s father a State Department official. Along the way\, Jorma became committed to the finger-picking guitar style exemplified by the Rev. Gary Davis. Jack\, meanwhile\, had taken an interest in the electric bass\, at the time a controversial instrument in blues\, jazz\, and folk circles. In the mid-1960s\, Jorma was asked to audition to play guitar for a new band that was forming in San Francisco\, and the rest became Jefferson Airplane history. But the pair remained loyal to the blues\, jazz\, bluegrass\, and folk influences of the small clubs and larger venues they had learned from years before. This led to an album and a record contract\, all before they decided to name their band Hot Tuna. With that album they launched a project that has continued for more than 35 years\, always finding new and interesting turns in its path forward. In an era in which old bands reunite for one last tour\, Hot Tuna can’t\, because Hot Tuna never broke up. They've turned increasingly toward acoustic roots in recent years\, but two things have never changed: Jorma and Jack still enjoy playing together as much as they did as kids in Washington D.C.\, and there are still many\, many exciting miles yet to travel on the group's musical odyssey. Hot Tuna recently released \"Steady as She Goes\,\" their first new studio album since 1990.
