SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Connections: Linoleum Block Prints by Elizabeth Busey
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Busey has been inspired by global travel to explore the forces that shape our world – growth\, pressure\, erosion and decay. Through this exploration\, she highlights patterns from many disparate perspectives in order to celebrate their universality in the natural world. Her work is created by printing multiple layers of ink onto cotton rag paper\, where a single linoleum block is gradually reduced with each color layer. Busey is a primarily self-taught printmaker who produces her work in Bloomington\, Indiana on a press made of recycled steel.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flip Your Field: Abstract Art From the Collection
DESCRIPTION:This is the inaugural exhibition of a new series of exhibitions to be curated by UM faculty. Entitled Flip Your Field\, this series asks these guest curators to consider artwork outside their field of specialization from UMMA's renowned collections to challenge their own thinking as well as that of UMMA's audiences. Celeste Brusati\, Professor of History of Art\, Women's Studies\, and Art and Design\, an expert in the visual art and culture of the Netherlands from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries\, has gathered a compelling group of images by such titans of twentieth-century abstraction as Lee Bontecou\, Helen Frankenthaler\, Wassily Kandinsky\, Joan Miró\, Robert Motherwell\, and Antonio Tàpies\, as well as works by many other unexpected artists.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Judith Turner: The Flatness of Ambiguity
DESCRIPTION:Judith Turner is a noted American photographer whose subject matter is mostly architecture. Turner's training as a designer allows her to visually understand an architect's intention and to reveal it in compositions that she constructs and edits through her camera work. Her photography can be seen as a metalanguage of architectural intention and as an artistic expression that is inseparable from the representation of the built work. Turner's signature style consists of highly abstract black-and-white compositions that play with the ambiguity of light\, shadow\, and tonality to heighten the aesthetic character of her subject matter and reveal visual relationships not readily apparent. This exhibition will present approximately forty photographs spanning Turner's three-decade career.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by Macy's and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.
