SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:Race is arguably the most serious problem in American history and culture. Our history books have done a poor job of relating this problem. This course examines black and white relations from early slavery\, which led to the Civil War\, the Jim Crow era and the Civil Rights struggle of the mid-20th century. Lerone Bennett's \"Before The Mayflower\" is a highly recommended reading. Kenneth W. Phifer is a retired Unitarian Universalist \nMinister.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

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:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Barbez \"Force of Light: Songs for Paul Celan
DESCRIPTION:Barbez\, unclassifiable luminaries of the downtown New York music scene\, weave a haunting mosaic of old-world cabaret\, Eastern European folksong\, contemporary classical and experimental rock into a uniquely beautiful and personal soundscape. The band’s mixture of passionate frenzy and unconventional lineup of clarinet\, violin\, vibraphone\, electric guitar\, bass and drums evokes a wide-range of disparate musical iconoclasts including Kurt Weill\, the Montreal post-rock collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, and the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke. Over the years\, Barbez has been privileged to perform with a wide variety of artists including Cat Power\, Sun Ra Arkestra\, MC5\, Devendra Banhart\, the Dresden Dolls\, and the Angels of Light.\n\nForce of Light was released on John Zorn’s Tzadik label. The album was inspired by Paul Celan\, the great Romanian-Jewish Holocaust poet and incorporates several of Celan’s finest poems into the band’s richly orchestrated musical tapestry. \n\n“Barbez’s Force of Light is among the best of the year\; it is sophisticated yet accessible to anyone\, heartbreaking in its articulation\, and provocative in its assertions.”–Allmusic.com (5 stars)\n\n“Barbez provide a pitch-perfect soundtrack to the intelligentsia identity crisis.”–Pitchfork Media\n\n“The most musically adventurous of the blooming ”˜ethno-punk-cabaret’ movement.”–The Washington Post

SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Plomaritas w/sg Jason Dennie
DESCRIPTION:Ypsilanti native Adam Plomaritas presents an onslaught of tight\, satisfying rock 'n roll\, tastefully seasoned with soul and blues. You might say that Mariah Carey\, Michael McDonald\, and Stevie Wonder were eaten by a Telecaster-toting grizzly. But perhaps Adam is most aptly described as the most winsome head-snap in the Detroit-metro music scene. Adam writes infectious tunes with pure-hearted lyrics and rhythms that could rile any dance floor. With an arresting powerhouse vocal delivery\, guitar chops no one can argue with\, and a seasoned crew of some of the best accompanying musicians in the area\, he can definitely bring the party. Adam has played the coffee house/bar scene for almost a decade and has taken the stage with some of the region's favorite acts including Theo Katzman\, Hannah Winkler\, Abigail Stauffer\, and Wayward Roots. He has also shared bills with national acts The Spring Standards\, Switchfoot\, and Jason Upton. March 2012 brought Adam's EP release entitled \"Leave the Light On.\" His first single from the EP\, \"Hard Way\,\" has received regular airplay on Ann Arbor radio. Off of the momentum of that EP\, he launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the recording of his full length album\, \"The Hard Way\,\" due out this January. \"Not only was the album completely fan-funded\, we decided to track it almost entirely to analog tape and track everything live\, with everybody in the same room\, whenever possible. The energy of a real band of people playing instruments in a room together can’t be beat. To keep that energy high and upbeat at the end of a twelve-hour recording session is as rewarding as it is difficult\, but when people get the album\, they'll feel the emotion that went into it and I really think they'll dig it\,\" Adam says. This \"The Hard Way\" album release show will include special guest Jason Dennie.
