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:Lecture / Discussion:The Untold Story of the Supreme Court and Obamacare
DESCRIPTION:The Supreme Court\, in a narrow 5-4 decision\, upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate imposed under President Obama's health-care reform bill. Relatively little public attention\, however\, has been paid to the Court's surprising determination that the bill's vast expansion of the Medicaid program violated the Constitution. Yet its decision on this front will touch the lives of millions of people.  Nicholas Bagley\, J.D.\, Assistant Professor of Law\, U-M\, will discuss what the Supreme Court's decision means for Medicaid going forward.\n\nThis is the 5th of 6 lectures in the series\, “The Supreme Court: Impact of Current Decisions on Our Society.”

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:Other:Conversations on Europe. “Economic Liberalism and the Weakness of the State: Monetary Lessons from the French Revolution” 
DESCRIPTION:Historians tend to think of the French Revolution as a key episode in the creation of a strong central state–in this\, Tocqueville argued long ago\, it may have continued the work begun under Louis XIV. But attention to monetary questions suggests a different story.\n\nThe revolutionaries’ creation of the assignats (paper currency backed by nationalized Church lands) and that currency’s demise six years later remains one of the most famous historical instances of monetary innovation. While most scholarship has followed classical and neo-classical economists in arguing that the problem was chiefly one of quantity (too much paper was printed and inflation “inevitably” resulted)\, Professor Spang wants instead to consider what this episode tells us about the French state. Throughout most of the early-modern and modern era\, states have monopolized the legal production of money (as they have the legitimate use of force). She argues that the revolutionaries of 1789-1793 and 1795-1799 did not intend to subvert this monopoly but they did so nonetheless\, through their economic policies and practices. Their commitment to an extreme version of liberalism–one in which even the trade in money was more or less “free”–was intended to strengthen the economy. Instead\, by encouraging locally produced small change and refusing to enforce the circulation of paper on par with metal\, revolutionaries undermined the assignats and weakened the credibility of the nation-state that had issued them. In their attempt to strengthen the economy by freeing it\, revolutionaries weakened the state.\n\nRebecca Spang studied at Harvard and Cornell and was a member of the Michigan Society of Fellows. Her first book\, The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture won several prizes and has been translated into five languages. Her Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution is forthcoming from Harvard University Press.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Theodore H. Hubbell Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Ants are one of the most numerically and ecologically dominant groups of terrestrial organisms on the planet.  To understand the factors that have shaped their ecological and evolutionary success\, it is important to consider not only their evolutionary history and the time frames involved\, but how mutualisms and associations ants have with other insects\, plants and bacteria have contributed.  Through a combination of methods in evolution and ecology\, including molecular systematics\, comparative genomics\, diversification analyses\, biogeographic range reconstruction\, diet experiments and microbiome pyrosequencing\, we are beginning to understand the importance of both the evolutionary and ecological timescales on ant diversity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies Thursday Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Seth Rockman\, Brown University\n\nLecture Abstract: This talk explores the design histories of northern-made goods destined for southern slave plantations. To succeed in the southern market\, manufacturers of hoes\, hats\, shoes and shovels needed to satisfy slaves as well as slaveholders. In the circuits of knowledge that linked plantation and factory\, enslaved men and women played a collaborative role in the design of particular textiles and tools\; their preferences for certain products and critiques of others structured patterns of labor hundreds of miles to the north. This investigation brings together the concerns of material culture studies\, history of technology\, business history\, and the history of slavery.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Wheeler Brothers
DESCRIPTION:This five-piece folk-rock ensemble combines the indie vibe of Austin with the lyrical strategies of Texas folk. Each member brings his own ideas and sounds to the group\, with styles blending indie rock\, blues\, and folk. The Wheeler Brothers have been selling out major venues and climbing the charts of radio stations in Austin\, the Live Music Capital Of The World\, and their debut album\, \"Portraits\,\" was one of last year's breakouts. They share a record label (Bismeaux) with the likes of Willie Nelson\, the Texas Tornados\, and Asleeo at the Wheel\, and all in all they're a young band that we're looking forward to big things from! Bronze Radio return opens.
