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: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:Presentation:CES End of Semester Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Through vocal music\, we are given a direct connection with a composer’s unique personality and the culture and times in which the composer lived. Anticipating the University Musical Society concert by the Pavel Haas Quartet\, this presentation will first examine the life and works of the award-winning Czech Jewish composer Pavel Haas (1899–1944)\, who continued to compose songs while interred at the Terezín concentration camp. The lecture will then extend to other Jewish composers across Europe\, contemplating their individual\, unique stories\, how their careers before the war and their nationalities played a major role in the formation of their compositional voices\, and how World War II affected their lives and music.\n\nPresenters: Timothy Cheek\, associate professor of voice\, and Caroline Helton\, assistant professor of voice\, U-M\; Kathryn Goodson\, piano\; Allen Schrott\, bass-baritone.\n\nCo-sponsored by Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European\, & Eurasian Studies\, and Frankel Center for Judaic Studies. \n

SUMMARY:Performance:Syropoulos-Malis Duo
DESCRIPTION:Alekos Syropoulos and Michael Malis are Greek Americans who grew up surrounded by Greek music and are also trained jazz musicians. Together they are exploring music that accommodates these seemingly divergent perspectives\, incorporating jazz vocabulary into Greek music and Greek musical vocabulary into jazz music. Their hope is that their music illuminates new connections and new pathways into the future\, while keeping an eye on their collective past.\n\nMichael Malis is a jazz pianist and composer from the Detroit area. He graduated with distinction from the University of Michigan\, where he studied jazz piano and English. While at UM\, he had the pleasure of studying with the eminent jazz pianist Geri Allen. In 2008\, he was a featured soloist at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC\, as part of their ongoing Conservatory Project. \n\nAlekos Syropoulos began studying classical piano at the age of four and later made a transition to the alto saxophone when he was ten. Currently majoring in jazz studies for saxophone at UM\, Alekos studies with Andrew Bishop\, Ellen Rowe\, and Geri Allen. As a performer\, Alekos plays with several groups and ensembles\, including the University of Michigan Jazz Ensemble\, the Vincent Chandler Septet\, the Paul Keller Jazz Orchestra\, and his own group\, Syropoulos Rex. \n\nThis monthly series\, curated by UM Associate Professor Adam Unsworth\, presents outstanding local artists in an intimate setting and is made possible by the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.
