SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bowling\, Burgers & Dogs: Digital Color Photography
DESCRIPTION:After receiving a BFA from Rutgers University\, Denise Rohde went on to study photography with renowned photographer Art Sinsabaugh at the University of Illinois.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reminiscence of Ann Arbor: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in China\, Mingshi Huang studied at Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan\, where he earned his graduate degrees. Huang travels extensively between the US and China and currently teaches at Nanjing University in Jiangsu Province. Recently\, he completed several monumental\, museum commissioned sculptures in China. This exhibition is a reminiscence of Huang’s work done while in Ann Arbor. Although his interests spread from representational to expressionist\, Huang is rooted in a traditional ground. His figure paintings and landscapes reflect his masterful approach to traditional realism.\n\n1500 E. Medical Center Drive\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional support provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision and Andre the Giant Has a Posse
DESCRIPTION:It was one of the most bitterly disputed public monuments in American history. Only 21 when her design for the Washington\, DC \, Vietnam Veterans Memorial was chosen in 1981\, Maya Lin has never shied away from controversy. Her starkly simple slash of polished black granite inscribed with the 57\,661 names of those who died in Vietnam was viciously attacked as \"dishonorable\,\" \"a scar\,\" and \"a black hole\,\" but Lin remained committed to her vision\, and the memorial\, a moving tribute to sacrifice and quiet heroism\, was built as planned. Since then\, Lin has completed a succession of eloquent\, startlingly original monuments and sculptures that confront vital American social issues. Freida Lee Mock's Academy Award-winning feature documentary follows a decade in the life of this visionary artist.\n\nMaya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision features rare behind-the-scenes footage of Lin at work in her studio\, and follows Lin as she works on a variety of projects\, tackling such diverse issues as world peace\, with her design for the Peace Chapel at Pennsylvania's Juniata College\, and race relations at the Civil Rights Memorial she created for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery\, Alabama. As she continues to tackle controversial topics\, Lin bravely explores new aesthetic territory\, fusing art and ideals to create ever more provocative works that engage the viewer\, demanding as much from us as Lin demands from herself. (1996\, 60 min.)\n\nThe award-winning documentary Andre the Giant has a Posse\, by filmmaker Helen Stickler\,\n chronicles contemporary artist Shepard Fairey’s OBEY sticker campaign\, which began in 1989 and has since become an international icon. The OBEY sticker attempts to stimulate curiosity and bring people to question both the sticker and their relationship with their surroundings. Because people are not used to seeing advertisements or propaganda for which the product or motive is not obvious\, frequent and novel encounters with the sticker provoke thought and possible frustration\, nevertheless revitalizing the viewer’s perception and attention to detail. The sticker has no meaning but exists only to cause people to react\, to contemplate and search for meaning in the sticker. Because OBEY has no actual meaning\, the various reactions and interpretations of those who view it reflect their personality and the nature of their sensibilities. (1997\, 16 min.)\n\nMaya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision and Andre the Giant has a Posse are being presented as part of the film series Examining Heroes and Icons\, which UMMA is offering in conjunction with the exhibition Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire (on view September 22\, 2012 through January 13\, 2013)\, focusing on the idea of heroes and exploring ways in which heroes are defined through images.\n
