SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

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:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

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.

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

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:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Timur Kuran\, Gorter Family Professor of Islamic Studies and professor of economics and political science\, Duke University.\n\nThe waqf (a trust whose assets are dedicated for religious purposes) is the closest thing under Islamic law to an autonomous private organization. Hence\, in the Middle East the pre-modern waqf served as a key determinant of civil society\, political participation\, and trust in institutions\, among other indicators and components of democratization. This paper argues that for a millennium the waqf delayed and limited democratization in the region through several mutually supportive mechanisms. By design its use of resources was more or less set by its founder\, which limited its capacity to reallocate resources to meet political challenges. It was designed to provide a service on its own\, which limited its ability to form lasting political coalitions. Its beneficiaries had no say in selecting the waqf's officers\, whom they could not evaluate. Circumventing waqf rules required the permission of a court\, which created incentives for corruption. Finally\, the process of appointing successive officials was not merit-based\; it promoted and legitimized nepotism. The upshot is that\, for all the resources it controlled\, the waqf contributed minimally to building civil society. It served as part of an institutional complex that kept the state unmonitored and unrestrained by civil society\, setting the stage for authoritarian rule.\n\nTimur Kuran is Professor of Economics and Political Science\, and Gorter Family Professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University. His research focuses on social change\, including the evolution of preferences and institutions. His most recent book\, The Long Divergence: How Islamic Law Held Back the Middle East (Princeton University Press\, 2011)\, addresses the role that Islamic institutions played in the economic rise of the Middle East and\, subsequently\, in the institutional stagnation that accompanied the region's slip into underdevelopment. Some of the archival work on which this book was based has been published as a ten-volume tri-lingual set entitled Economic Life in Seventeenth-Century Istanbul\, as Reflected in Court Registers (Is Bank Cultural Publications). Kuran's earlier publications include Private Truths\, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification (Harvard University Press\, 1995) and Islam and Mammon: The Economic Predicaments of Islamism (Princeton University Press\, 2004)\, each translated into several languages.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Fold Crumple Crush: The Art of El Anatsui
DESCRIPTION:Filmed over three years in Venice\, Nsukka\, and the United States\, this is a powerful portrait of Africa's most widely acclaimed contemporary artist El Anatsui. Directed by Susan Vogel\, Fold Crumple Crush: The Art of El Anatsui gives an insider's view of the artist's practice\, the ingenious steps and thousands of hours of labor that convert used bottle tops into huge\, opulent wall hangings. Here Anatsui explains how his artworks have become a marriage of painting and sculpture\, objects that speak of African history but also reach for the ethereal–and he talks about his aspirations for artworks he has yet to make. \n\nBehind the charming\, easy-going artist we discover a man who remains mysterious even to his dearest friends. The film circles around Anatsui\, drawing ever closer to a deep understanding of the man and his surprising bottle top hangings. We see the celebrated artist installing work on the great world stage of the Venice Biennale\; we follow him back to the small town of Nsukka as he goes about his daily life\, then watch him inside the hive of his studio directing assistants as they stitch together bottle tops into a vast metal hanging. Finally\, Anatsui admits us to the privacy of his home where he tells us about his formative years\, and reveals a youthful discovery that clouded his life. \n\nAccompanied by Anatsui at Work: Eight Short Films (2011\, 26 min.)\, also directed by Susan Vogel. These elegant\, instructive shorts depict Anatsui demonstrating his artistic process and discussing his theories on specific media as he creates one of his most ambitious works in Nsukka and installs it on the façade of the Palazzo Fortuny Museum in Venice.\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. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, Museum Studies Program\, and School of Natural Resources & Environment.
