SUMMARY:Exhibition:The More Things Change...The Labadie Collection's 100th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:View selected items from the world’s foremost archive of international radical social protest movements. \"Social protest movements often involve intense passion\, so expect to see some edgy and offensive items on display\,\" says Labadie Collection curator Julie Herrada.\n\nThe Labadie Collection is the world’s largest publicly accessible research collection covering just about every 19th\, 20th\, and 21st century protest movement that can be documented on paper\, from the French Revolution to Occupy Wall Street. It has served as a resource for thousands of people the world over\, from high school students to seasoned researchers\, from young activists in search of their roots to documentary filmmakers unearthing eye-catching images. Books\, serials\, manuscripts\, pamphlets\, photographs\, audio recordings\, posters\, and political buttons are all part of this eclectic group of materials.\n\nView the exhibit during Audubon Room hours: Mon-Thurs 8:30am-7pm\, Fri 8:30am-6pm\, Sat 10am-6pm\, Sun 1pm-7pm

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:Lecture / Discussion:Travels in Olmec Time
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the reception of colossal Olmec heads in the United States and Mexico during the 1960s\, their decade of greatest exposure. A mission led by U.S. archaeologist Matthew Stirling in 1939 catapulted the Olmecs and their striking monumental art to mainstream fame in both countries. Made sometime between 1500 and 400 BC by the first \"urban\" culture of the Americas\, the striking naturalism of these large and extremely heavy carved heads of volcanic stone mystified scholars\, artists\, and popular audiences . Heated debates about the dating\, production\, and ancient transportation of the heads raged for decades thereafter\, parallel to racially-charged controversies surrounding the presumed and confusing 'African' traits that these heads evinced. Showcased in a number of now-forgotten blockbuster exhibitions in museums and World's Fairs pavilions in the early 1960s\, the striking heads became a significant presence within official Mexican culture and proved central to diplomatic transactions on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Still more interestingly\, their expansive\, mass-mediated reception also exerted considerable impact on a number of artistic trajectories in the U.S. Exploring their heretofore understudied centrality to early practices of 'public' art\, land art\, and various other sculptural trajectories\, the talk also examines their enduring and unsuspected imprint on artistic and museological practices revived very recently.\n\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Mubadele/ Ανταλλαγ?: Remembering a Human Catastrophe Through Music  
DESCRIPTION:In his new cantata\, Recep Gul revisits a tragedy from the past: the Greco-Turkish Compulsory Religious Population Exchange of 1923. Inspired by Turkish\, Greek\, and Western musical traditions\, this piece will be a first for bringing together Greek and Turkish experience in a Western musical setting. Drawing text from testimonies\, folk songs and folk poetry of immigrants\, the piece vividly displays the stories of two women–one Orthodox Christian\, one Muslim–uprooted from their lands and forced to leave their homes.\n\nRecep Gul was born in 1982 in Samsun\, Turkey. He started his musical career in Turkey and conducted Bogazici University Classical Music Choir\, sang in various choirs\, and founded an a capella jazz group with which he released the first a capella jazz album in Turkey. He received his masters degree in composition from Istanbul Technical University’s Center for Advanced Studies in Music\, studying with Pieter Snapper and Kamran Ince. His music has been performed in new music festivals and concerts in Turkey\, Germany and the United States by ensembles including the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra. In 2011 he was awarded both the Rackham Pre-Doctoral Fellowship and the Institute for the Humanities Graduate Student Fellowship at the University of Michigan. He is currently a fellow at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and in April will receive his DMA degree in composition from UM where he studied with Bright Sheng\, Paul Schoenfield\, Evan Chambers\, Kristin Kuster\, and Erik Santos.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the UM School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance\, the Institute for Humanities\, the Modern Greek Studies Department and UMMA.
