SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Digital Books and Flying Cars: Libraries as Collateral Damage
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPeter Brantley discusses the wild and chaotic publishing environment of today\, and why actions of publishers are rational\, even as they threaten to destroy traditional models of library book lending. A few conjectures about library responses will be offered.\n\nIn an incredibly short period of time\, control of the publishing industry has largely moved out of the hands of publishers. This organizational disruption has many precedents but occurs at a time of tremendous technological change\, with content production and distribution shifting rapidly from physical to digital modes\, with concomitant economic upheaval. Even the very conception of the \"book\" as a self-contained package\, with an emphasis on a linear narrative\, has been flipped inside out as new interactive applications bridge media types: books that are not quite books\, movies\, or games\; books that know where I am\, and can learn from my reading of them.\n\nAs publishers try to make strategic decisions in this maelstrom of change\, historical relationships\, such as those involving libraries\, are trammeled by strategic re-prioritizations. Publishers fear the simultaneous commodification of complex authoring tools\, the rise of self publishing systems\, and the development of internet platforms by Apple\, Amazon\, and Google. And\, in response\, publishers attempt to seize control over pricing and distribution in as many digital sectors as possible. It's as if Toyota suddenly had to respond to home-3D printed family aerocars as a mainstream transportation.\n\nPeter Brantley is the Director of the Bookserver Project at the Internet Archive\, a San Francisco-based not-for-profit library\, and is a Co-Founder of the Open Book Alliance\, a coalition of librarians\, legal scholars\, authors\, publishers\, and technology companies. He was previously the Director of the Digital Library Federation\, a non-profit association of research and national libraries. \n

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:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: Liza Fior\, muf
DESCRIPTION:Liza Fior was born in London where she continues to practice as founding partner of muff architecture/art. The work of the practice negotiates between the built and social fabric\, public and private in projects that have mainly been focused in East London but not exclusively so. Projects range from urban design schemes to small-scale temporary interventions\, landscapes and buildings – a continual dialogue between detail and strategy. The approach\, value what's there\, nurture the possible and define what's missing demonstrated in the project Making Space in Dalston is being further developed in a series of projects working around the fringe of London's Olympic site. muff were the authors of the British Pavilion in Venice at the Architecture Biennale 2010 which made the pavilion a platform for local concerns a piece of work which continues. Awards for muff projects include the 2008 European Prize for Public Space (a first for the UK) for a new 'town square' for Barking\, East London and Landscape Institutes Presidents Medal 2012 for Making Space in Dalston. Co-author of\, \"This is What We Do: a muff manual\" unsolicited research continues to be entwined into every project.
