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. Working for years in a darkroom\, the switch to digital allowed her to draw from her painting and printmaking experience. Being able to combine mediums digitally has unleashed her imagination. Denise moved to Ann Arbor eight years ago from Champaign\, Illinois\, and she has found Michigan to be an \"eyeful.\" Some of her exhibits include the University of Illinois\, Roulette NYC\, Peachtree Plaza Atlanta and the Kodak Pavilion\, Epcot Center. \n\n1500 E.

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:Lecture / Discussion:ICTD Speaker Series: Jonathan Donner
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, their first\, only\, or primary means of using the internet will be via a mobile device. Hundreds of projects--and a flood of media attention--illustrate how this new access is revolutionizing the field of information and communication technologies for development (ICTD). As billions of mobile phones are sold around the world\, more people are able to access the internet via the wireless/cellphone infrastructure. Downloads and uploads\, chat and photo sharing\, crop prices and medical records\, the profound and the mundane--all can be checked and updated on-the-go\, and by many who just a few years ago would have had virtually no chance to be online.\n \nHowever\, this is not a breathless story of universal\, transformational success. Although the mobile internet is cheap to deploy\, flexible\, and approachable\, it can also be hard to use for complex tasks\, is expensive on a per-bit basis\, and is not as open as the traditional web. In this talk\, Jonathan Donner\, a researcher in the Technology for Emerging Markets Group at Microsoft Research India\, challenges the easy language of a \"closed\" digital divide with an examination of the persistent differences in affordability and constraints confronting mobile-centric internet users\, and suggests some priorities for ICTD research.\n \n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Melani Cammett\, associate professor of political science\, Brown University.\n\nIn the Middle East and elsewhere in the Global South\, ethnic and religious groups provide social welfare alongside or in the place of states. To analyze sectarianism through the lens of social welfare\, this talk focuses on the varying welfare distribution strategies of Christian\, Shia Muslim\, and Sunni Muslim political parties in Lebanon\, where social service provision is a terrain of political contestation. Why do some “sectarian” providers distribute welfare goods broadly\, even to non-coreligionists\, while others allocate services more narrowly? Based on extensive field research and diverse forms of quantitative and qualitative data\, this research unpacks the political logics of the distribution of social goods by sectarian organizations. Non-state welfare performs a critical function in the absence of capable state institutions\, but it comes at a price. When partisanship and ethnic or religious identity mediate access to welfare\, social divisions and inequalities can emerge or become further entrenched. Beyond caring for the needy\, service provision by sectarian groups may also sustain competing visions of the polity and introduce new dimensions of social inequalities.\n\nMelani Cammett is Associate Professor of Political Science\, the Dupee Faculty Fellow at the Watson Institute for International Studies\, and a faculty associate at the Population Studies and Training Center at Brown University. Her first book\, Globalization and Business Politics in North Africa: A Comparative Perspective (Cambridge University Press\, 2007)\, analyzes the impact of globalization on state-business relations in Morocco and Tunisia. Cammett’s second book\, Welfare and Sectarianism in Divided Societies\, explores how sectarian organizations allocate social welfare goods and is based on extensive research in Lebanon with short case studies of organizations in Iraq and India. An article based on this research won the 2011 Alexander L. George Award of the Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research Section of the American Political Science Association. A co-edited book manuscript\, “The Politics of Non-State Social Welfare in the Global South\,” examines the origins\, evolution and consequences of non-state welfare provision for state-building and human security in diverse regions. Her new research project explores governance and the politics of social service provision by Islamists and other public and private actors in the Middle East. Cammett’s articles have appeared in World Politics\, Journal of Conflict Resolution\, Studies in Comparative International Development\, Comparative Politics\, World Development\, and other journals and publications. Cammett holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California\, Berkeley and an M.A. from the Fletcher School at Tufts University and teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on comparative politics\, the political economy of development\, research design\, and Middle East politics.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
DESCRIPTION:Ai Weiwei is China's most famous international artist\, and its most outspoken domestic critic. Against a backdrop of strict censorship and an unresponsive legal system\, Ai expresses himself and organizes people through art and social media. In response\, Chinese authorities have shut down his blog\, beat him up\, bulldozed his newly built studio\, and held him in secret detention. Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry is the inside story of a dissident for the digital age who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and politics. First-time director Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai while working as a journalist in China. Her detailed portrait provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public figures. For more information about the film\, visit http://aiweiweineversorry.com/.\n\n(2012\, 91 min.)\n\nAi Weiwei: Never Sorry is 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\nThis film series is curated by the UMMA Student Programming and Advisory Council and cosponsored by MFlicks and the University Musical Society (UMS).\n\nGenerous support for the exhibition Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 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
