Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life (March 13, 2012 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/7937 7937-1137039@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

This 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.

Recent Acquisitions: Curator's Choice, Part I (March 13, 2012 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/7535 7535-1136142@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

This exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Robert Wilson: Video 50 (March 13, 2012 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/7837 7837-1136751@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Increasingly PhD students in the social sciences and humanities are looking outside of traditional tenure track faculty positions for career opportunities after completing their PhDs. Join us as we explore how to execute a job search outside the academy. Together we will examine how story informs our decision to pursue diverse career paths, how to utilize presentation strategy for industry employers, and how to build a non-academic community to explore options and leverage connections.

Leaders who fail to enact the preferences of their constituents risk defeat in elections. The risk seems to be real–legislators receive more votes when they adhere to district sentiments–but how citizens learn about the quality of the representation they receive is less clear. In a two-part study exploiting variations in state-level newspaper issue content as well as facts about legislative behavior in a randomized national survey experiment, we find that the information environment helps Americans re-elect officials who act in their interests. Specifically, across a dozen domestic and foreign policy issues, we observe double-digit changes in incumbent support when citizens encounter information about the roll-call behavior of their Senators or House members. The provision of legislative behavior information well helps citizens reward politicians who vote as they would have and punish those who do not. Our findings underscore the role the mass media plays in promoting political representation.

The Tartan Terrors are not a band but, in the words of the organizers, "North America’s premiere Celtic Event, features the best in music, comedy and dance." Amazed by the blistering chops of a two-time World Champion Bagpiper, the driving tones of drums from around the world, and a guitar played unlike any you’ve ever heard, standing-room-only audiences come to understand why Dig This magazine declares the Terrors "one act to keep an eye on!” Combine all the music with championship-caliber Highland Dancers and internationally recognized comedic performers, and this Celtic Group goes beyond the ordinary. Members of the Tartan Terrors have performed on four different continents; in some of the most prestigious festivals, Highland Games, and theaters in North America, for President Bill Clinton and Queen Elizabeth II, and on Good Morning America. Experience the phenomenon of the Tartan Terrors and see why Celtic Beat hails them as “the heirs apparent to the mayhem”!
