SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes

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.

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:May Erlewine & Seth Bernard
DESCRIPTION:May Erlewine and Seth Bernard are young songwriters from northwest Lower Michigan\, with commitment and charm. Their music feels intimate and genuine\, as if you've been invited into their living room to listen. Seth has drawn comparisons to Woody Guthrie and Neil Young as a songwriter and folk-rocker\, community organizer\, and communicator of ideas. May plays guitar and violin and is a songbird reminiscent of Patsy Cline and Patty Griffin. Says author and environmentalist Bill McKibben: \"This music not only swings\, rocks\, and grooves–t matters. It's the voice of a real community\, with a sound and a message the world needs to hear.\"
