A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\r\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\r\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\r\nAccording to the artists, the goal of this performance is to \u201cmake 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.\u201d\u009d\r\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.

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.\r\n\r\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.\r\n\r\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago.

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.\r\n\r\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\r\n", "occurrence_notes":"", "guid":"11346-1176700@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/11346", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["exhibit","exhibition","visual arts"], "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2012\/11\/event_11346_original.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":107, "first_occurrence":1176653 } , "12128-1180324": { "datetime_modified":"20130118T095410", "datetime_start":"20130131T120000", "datetime_end":"20130131T133000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2013-01-31", "date_end":"2013-01-31", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Copernicus Endowment Workshop", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Copernicus Endowment Workshop: Jewish Revival in Contemporary Poland: Origins, Evolution and New Directions", "event_subtitle":"Jewish Revival in Contemporary Poland: Origins, Evolution and New Directions", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Konstanty Gebert, journalist and activist\r\n\r\nKonstanty Gebert is an international reporter and columnist at Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's biggest daily.

The book examines the rise of transnational feminism in the United States and challenges us to think of \"the global\" and \"the transnational\" as ways of viewing the world that have emerged from specific political, economic, and historical circumstances in the United States. Transnational Feminism asks what it means to locate feminist research and theory within a transnational frame in the specific location and historical location that we live in and how we can unsettle such national views of the world.

The evolution of sex-determining mechanisms (SDM) is marked by repeated transitions between systems that differ in their level of phenotypic plasticity and developmental canalization. Reptiles are an ideal group to study the driving forces and mechanisms underlying these evolutionary transitions as they display a wide diversity of SDM that encompass temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) and genotypic sex determination (GSD) with either male (XY) or female (ZW) heterogamety.\r\n\r\nThrough a series of complementary studies, my lab is shedding light on how genomic structure and genome function affect the development and evolution of phenotypes, and the role that the environment plays in these processes at different time scales. Indeed, the level of phenotypic plasticity and genome organization themselves are driven by biotic factors such as sexual selection and sexual conflict, and abiotic influences such as thermal disturbances at contemporary (e.g. daily\/seasonal\/annual) and evolutionary (e.g. climate change over generations or millions of years) time scales.\r\n\r\nIn particular, I will highlight some of our projects through which we attempt to understand the evolution of the SDM and the gene regulatory networks underlying them; to discover the molecular changes that render TSD susceptible to temperature; to decipher how males and females are produced in nature and what is the evolutionary potential of TSD in the face of climate change; and to characterize the genomic rearrangements responsible for the evolution of sex chromosomes and diploid number.\r\n\r\nThis seminar is sponsored by the Donald W.

In 2028 Paris, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\r\nAn essay in reverse anthropology, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties, it can be construed as a critique of France\u2019s racial context, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \r\nTwo musicians, Olivier Th\u00e9mines and Guillaume Hazebrouck, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a cin\u00e9-concert\/conference. The movie, accompanied by a live original music, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \r\n\r\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \r\nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike, Inc., Beaverton, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\r\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams, and Roger Federer. Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Wilson one of America\u2019s Top Black Designers. \r\n\r\nJanuary 31: LISA STRAUSFELD\r\nLisa Strausfeld\u2019s work lies at the intersection of physical and virtual space: where information structures and physical structures meet, and where the navigation of information and the navigation of buildings join in a single experience. She and her team specialize in digital information projects including the design of large-scale media installations, software prototypes and user interfaces, signage and websites for a broad range of civic, cultural and corporate clients including One Laptop per Child, GE, Litl, Bloomberg, Gallup, The New York Times, M.I.T., Brown University, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\r\nStrausfeld holds four patents relating to user interfaces and intelligent search and retrieval, and in 2006 she was named to the Senior Scientist program at the Gallup Organization. In addition to many awards and honors, Strausfeld was selected as one of Fast Company's \"Masters of Design\" in 2009 and received the National Design Award in the category of Interaction Design in 2010.\r\n\r\nFebruary 7: El ANATSUI\r\nEl Anatsui was born in Anyanko, Ghana in 1944. Many of Anatsui\u2019s sculptures are mutable in form, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood, clay, metal, and\u2013most recently\u2013the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles, Anatsui breaks with sculpture\u2019s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction, transformation, and regeneration) in everyday life, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art, University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Indianapolis Museum of Art; British Museum, London; and Centre Pompidou, Paris, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown (2011); Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto (2010); National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka (2010); Rice University Art Gallery, Houston (2010); Venice Biennale (2007); and the Biennale of African Art, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka, Nigeria.\r\n\r\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\r\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms \u201carte de conducta\u201d\u009d (conduct\/behavior art) and \u201carte \u00c3\u00batil\u201d\u009d (useful art) define her practice. In 2010, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of \u201cuseful art,\u201d\u009d by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society\u2019s urgent social, political, and scientific issues.\r\nBruguera\u2019s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11, Kassel, Germany and several biennials including Performa, Venice, Gwangju, and Havana. She has exhibited at the Tate Modern, London; K\u00c3\u00bcnsthalle Wien, Vienna; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York. \r\n\r\nMarch 14: LYNDA BARRY\r\nLynda Barry has worked as a painter, cartoonist, writer, illustrator, playwright, editor, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip that was syndicated across North America in alternative weeklies for two decades, Ernie Pook's Comeek, as well as the books One! Hundred! Demons!, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! and The Good Times are Killing Me, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. In 2011, Drawn & Quarterly published Blabber Blabber Blabber, the first in a 10-volume retrospective series of her comics work. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly, What It Is (2008), won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\r\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on \u201cWriting the Unthinkable\u201d\u009d, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful, powerful, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010), Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination, where play can be serious, monsters have purpose, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\r\n\r\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\r\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty\u2019s Nanook of the North as the \u201cmost influential documentary of all time,\u201d\u009d and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the \u201cmost influential documentary makers\u201d\u009d of all time. In March, 2009, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said, \u201c\u201d\u00a6 Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.\u201d\u009d The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films, \u201cMore Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.\u201d\u009d Ken\u2019s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations, and in September of 2008, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\r\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mark Twain, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson, The War, The National Parks: America\u2019s Best Idea, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\r\n\r\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\r\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a. Alina Troyano) is a performance artist, playwright, and actor. Troyano burst on New York\u2019s downtown performing arts scene in the eighties with her alter ego, the spitfire Carmelita Tropicana and her counterpart, the irresistible archetypal Latin macho Pingalito Betancourt, followed by performances as Hernando Cortez\u2019s horse and la Cucaracha Martina from her childhood fairy tales in Cuba. In Tropicana\u2019s work humor and fantasy become subversive tools to rewrite history.\r\nTropicana\u2019s performances plays and videos have been presented at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin, Centre de Cultura Contemporanea in Barcelona, the Berlin International Film Festival, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, the Mark Taper Forum\u2019s Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles, and El Museo del Barrio in New York.
