SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Charley Harper by Motawi: Ceramic Art Tile
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features Motawi's new collection of tiles based on the work of beloved wildlife artist Charley Harper (1922-2007). Harper's work is modern\, sophisticated and completely charming. His minimal graphic style lends itself perfectly to Motawi's cuenca tile making technique. Nawal Motawi graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Fine Art. In 1992\, she founded Motawi Tileworks in a garage studio. Today\, Nawal employs more than 30 people and sells tile through hundreds of retailers around the county.

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.

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. For more information about Black Detroit 21 events and artists\, visit: www.detroitcenter.umich.edu/news/2013/1/artist-and-event-info-black-detroit-21. \n\nFor press inquiries\, contact: DetroitCenter@umich.edu or (313) 593-3584.\n\nThe exhibition may be accessed between 11 a.m.– 4 p.m.\, Tuesday – Saturday.

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:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) The Japanese Peace Preservation Law was established in 1925 to ostensibly preserve Japan’s national polity (kokutai) from so-called “dangerous thought.” Under this law\, communists and other radicals were defined as “thought-criminals” who had mistakenly come under the influence of foreign ideologies which alienated them from their inherent Japanese-ness. When this law was applied in the colonies however\, officials struggled to define the relationship between colonial subjects and Japan’s national essence. This talk will explore the difficulties in applying the law in colonial Korea during the 1930s and how these difficulties reveal the fundamental contradictions of Japan’s prewar colonial empire. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMax Ward is Assistant Professor of Japanese History at Middlebury College in Vermont. His research focuses on the intersection of ideology\, subjectivity and state power in prewar Japan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe. “From Rasse to Race: On the Problem of Difference in the Federal Republic of Germany.”
DESCRIPTION:Rita Chin\, associate professor of history\, U-M. Part of the LSA Theme Semester \"Understanding Race.\" Sponsor: CES.\n\nWith the collapse of the Third Reich\, the hyper-racialized German society that had been a core project of the Nazi dictatorship came to an end. In the rush to repudiate National Socialism\, postwar Germans rendered the idea of \"race\" and all associated racial thinking taboo -- at least in polite circles and the public sphere. This lecture considers the silence around race in German public discourse and historical writing after the Second World War. It focuses on the generation known in West Germany as \"1968ers\" in order to examine what kinds of racial difference were visible and invisible to these young people. It probes several ideological frameworks that shaped the West German New Left's ideas about race and racism. And it argues for the analytical importance of the concept of \"race\" for understanding contemporary German society.\n\nRita Chin is associate professor of history at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She holds a BA from the University of Washington\, a PhD from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and previously taught at Oberlin College. She is the author of The Guest Worker Question in Postwar Germany (Cambridge\, UK\, 2007) and co-author of After the Nazi Racial State: Difference and Democracy in Germany and Beyond (Ann Arbor\, 2009). She has written a number of articles\, including \"Turkish Women\, West German Feminists\, and the Gendered Discourse on Muslim Cultural Difference\" for Public Culture. Her research has been funded by the Social Science Research Council\, German Academic Exchange\, National Humanities Center\, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars\, American Council for Learned Societies' Burkhardt Fellowship\, and Institute for Advanced Study. She is currently working on a book about the European Left's engagements with \"difference\,\" race\, and immigration in the postwar period.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Dormancy is a bet-hedging strategy used by a wide range of taxa\, including microorganisms. It refers to an ability to enter a reversible state of low metabolic activity when faced with unfavorable environmental conditions\, including energy limitation. Dormant microorganisms generate a seed bank\, which comprises individuals that are capable of being resuscitated following environmental change. Thus\, microbial dormancy may help maintain biodiversity and influence the stability of ecosystem processes.\n\nAfter introducing a theoretical framework for microbial seed banks\, Dr Lennon will present results from a meta-analysis on the prevalence of dormancy in a variety of ecosystems\, including oceans\, lakes\, soils\, and the human gut. In addition\, he will discuss results demonstrating the importance of dormancy for the maintenance of microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning. Finally\, Dr Lennon will present ongoing research which focuses on the mechanisms of bacterial resuscitation\, and the implications of these processes under global climate change scenarios.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:El Anatsui\, with Elizabeth Harney
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this conversation with internationally renowned artist El Anatsui offered in conjunction with UMMA’s exhibition of El Anatsui: When I Last Wrote You about Africa. The exhibition presents work from throughout the artist’s life in diverse media that invite reflection on memory and history as well as the countless everyday objects we so readily use up and discard. Born in Ghana and residing in Nigeria\, where he is a professor at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka\, El Anatsui’s work has engaged the local and the international with global impact. The power of his forms and their equally strong relationship to conceptual ideas connect them to traditions of African art\, yet his transformations of material and experience–whether somber or joyful–are dynamic and contemporary and have gained him an international reputation. El Anatsui will be interviewed by longtime colleague and University of Toronto Professor Elizabeth Harney. \n\nDr. Harney has written and published widely about global modernisms\, contemporary art practice in Africa and its diasporas\, post-colonial theory\, and the politics of exhibition. Harney also served as the first curator of contemporary art at the National Museum of African Art\, Smithsonian Institution.\n\nThis program is organized by UMMA with the UM Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design as part of the Penny W. Stamps Speaker series with the assistance of the Institute for the Humanities\, and the generous supporter of campus partners and donors listed below. \n\nEl Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You about Africa is organized by the Museum for African Art\, New York\, and has been supported\, in part\, by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. \n\nLead support for UMMA’s installation is provided by the University of Michigan Health System\, Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs\, and School of Art & Design's Penny Stamps Speaker Series\; the University of Michigan Credit Union\; and the James L. and Vivian A. Curtis Endowment Fund.

SUMMARY:Performance:Light Cavalry
DESCRIPTION:The Guild will perform “Light Cavalry” and plans to make the first commercially available recording of the show. Written in 1866\, Light Cavalry is one of the earlier Viennese operettas. Although the overture is world-famous\, the show itself is not. This production is the first in English\, and marks an American premiere. Considering its rarity\, the score of “Light Cavalry” has been found to be delightful\, with charming comedy numbers\, rollicking dances and beautiful arias. Hungarian themes stand out\, the first time such music was incorporated in a Viennese operetta.
