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. In addition to this exhibit of newly released tiles\, the University Hospital has Motawi tile murals in the east and west Patient Elevator Lobbies on floors 1-8.

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:PICS International Security & Development Fellow Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Martin J. Murray\nProfessor\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nRethinking Urban Theory: Transnational Urbanism at the Start of the 21st Century\n\nFriday\, February 8\, 2-4pm  Kalamazoo Room\, Michigan League\n\n At the start of the 21st century\, conventional approaches to understanding transnational urbanism and the contemporary modern metropolis have become unsettled. The unprecedented hyper-growth of the sprawling mega-cities of the (so-called) Global South\, coupled with the proliferation of post-industrial “shrinking cities” in the core areas of the world economy\, has fundamentally altered the pace and form of global urbanism. Yet the dominant theories used to study cities remain largely tied to the urban experience of a handful of leading world-class cities of Europe and North America.  There is a growing interest in re-conceptualizing the field of urban toward a less-deductive theoretical openness that seeks through comparison and contrast to account for the historical-spatial specificity of those cities which are “off the map.”

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Aristotle to O'Neill: Western Influence on Cao Yu
DESCRIPTION:Cao Yu (1910-1996) is one of the few modern Chinese playwrights whose core plays are still in regular production today. One reason behind this phenomenon is his masterful adoption of Western dramaturgy to stage the angst of modern China\, ranging from Aristotle’s tragic ethos\, to Ibsen’s haunting ghosts\, to Chekhov’s Russian ennui\, to O’Neill’s hallucinating jungle. These and other Western elements have provided tremendous inspirations and challenges to stage productions ever since the 1930s\, including some most innovative reinterpretations in the past decade.\nSiyuan Liu is an Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of British Columbia and President of Association for Asian Performance. He has published widely on twentieth-century Chinese theatre\, including the forthcoming Performing Hybridity in Colonial-Modern China (Palgrave Macmillan 2013). He is also a director and has twice directed Cao Yu’s Thunderstorm.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Sankofa Film Series: Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Detroit Center continues its 2012-2013 Sankofa Film Series with Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony. The film will be shown on Friday\, February 8 beginning at 6 pm. The event includes complimentary admission\, parking and light refreshments to all attendees.\n\nAmandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony is a 2002 documentary depicting the struggles of Black South Africans against the injustices of Apartheid through the use of music.

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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band
DESCRIPTION:Michael Haithcock\, conductor    Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Hill Auditorium\, “Tunes of Long Ago”    The rich history of Hill Auditorium as a concert hall is celebrated with “tunes of long ago.” Sierra’s Fandangos incorporates dance themes penned by Baroque composers Soler and Boccherini which are interpreted through the lens of his Latin heritage.  Richard Wagner paid tribute to Carl Maria von Weber by setting tunes from Euryanthe in a beautiful elegiac setting.  Percy Grainger memorialized centuries of English folks singers in his six musical portraits of the human condition called Lincolnshire Posy.  Based on the traditional 100th Psalm Tune\, and featuring Hill’s magnificent Frieze Memorial Organ\, Maslanka’s powerful Symphony no. 4 is the culmination of this musical journey from the past to the present.      Pre-concert lecture with Michael Haithcock and friends at 7:15 in the Lower Lobby.    PROGRAM:  Ives - The Things Our Fathers Loved\; Sierra - Fandangos\; Wagner - Trauermusik\; Grainger - Lincolnshire Posy\;  Maslanka - Symphony no. 4
