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.

Lerone Bennett's \"Before The Mayflower\" is a highly recommended reading. Kenneth W. Phifer is a retired Unitarian Universalist \nMinister.\n

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:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Vladimir Tismaneanu\, professor of comparative politics\, University of Maryland.\n\nIdeas do matter: this is one of the most significant lessons of a century of unprecedented brutality and violence. Reflecting on his own experiences within communist totalitarianism\, Professor Vladimir Tismaneanu's lecture will discuss political passions\, radicalism\, utopian ideals\, and their catastrophic consequences in the twentieth century's experiments in social engineering. His recent book\, The Devil in History\, compares communism and fascism as competing\, sometimes overlapping\, and occasionally strikingly similar systems of political totalitarianism. He examines the inherent ideological appeal of these radical\, revolutionary political movements\, the visions of salvation and revolution they pursued\, the value and types of charisma of leaders within these political movements\, the place of violence within these systems\, and their legacies in contemporary politics. In Professor Tismaneanu's view\, no ideological commitment\, no matter how absorbing\, should ever prevail over the sanctity of human life. He comes to the conclusion that no party\, movement\, or leader holds the right to dictate that followers renounce their critical faculties and embrace a pseudo-miraculous\, mystically self-centered\, delusional vision of mandatory happiness.\n\nVladimir Tismaneanu is professor of politics at the University of Maryland (College Park). In 2006\, he served as chairman of the Presidential Commission for the Analysis of the Communist Dictatorship in Romania. From 1998-2004 he was editor of East European Politics and Societies and continues to serve on the journal's editorial committee. His books include Reinventing Politics: Eastern Europe from Stalin to Havel (Free Press\, 1992)\; Fantasies of Salvation (Princeton UP\, 1998)\; Stalinism for All Seasons: A Political History of Romanian Communism (University of California Press\, 2003)\; and The Devil in History: Communism\, Fascism\, and Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century (University of California Press\, 2012). He is the editor of numerous volumes\, including Stalinism Revisited\, The Promises of 1968\, and The End and the Beginning (co-ed.\, Bogdan C. Iacob)\, all published by CEU Press. Professor Tismaneanu is a regular book reviewer for Times Literary Supplement and International Affairs and serves on the board of Journal of Democracy. He was a Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Fellow in 2008-09. His current project\, a book under contract with Cambridge University Press\, deals with democracy and memory in post-communist Romania and is based on the author’s experience as head of the Presidential Commission.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Roman Athens: The Transformation into an Imperial City
DESCRIPTION:Few cities of the ancient world can rival Athens’ rich array of cultural splendors. Monuments such as the Parthenon\, Erechtheion\, and Theater of Dionysos (to name only a few) serve as visual reminders of Athens’ glory during the Classical Age. But scholars have neglected the era in Athenian history when Rome held dominion over all of Greece and the “Golden Age” of Athens was long passed. The Romans heavily patronized the city with endowments of magnificent buildings and monuments that outwardly reflect and honor Athens’ past glory\, yet also readily testify to the reality of Roman domination. Considering the heavy debt the Romans owed to Greece with respect to their own art and culture\, it is curious to note the Roman contributions to Athenian art and architecture. \nThis talk traces the topographical and architectural changes Athens underwent during the formative period of Roman control\, which occurred during the late Hellenistic period and to the mid-first century AD. There is a particular emphasis on the role Augustus played in the civic transformation based on past research by the lecturer. Monuments to be discussed include the Parthenon\, Agora\, Temple of Roma and Augustus\, Roman Market\, and others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Berj H. Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture. “Finding Nemesis.” 
DESCRIPTION:Eric Bogosian\, playwright\, novelist and actor. Helmut Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan Museum of Art\, 525 S. State\, Ann Arbor.\n\nBogosian will discuss how his decision to write a screenplay about the assassination of Talat Pasha led him to write a non-fiction history of the Nemesis assassins and their context. For nearly five years he has thrown himself into a crash course on Armenian and Turkish history\, interviewing prominent historians around the world\, translating primary texts from Armenian\, French\, and German\, and conducting primary research in the British archives. Bogosian will talk about his research and writing process as well as conclusions he has drawn after immersing himself in the topic.\n\nEric Bogosian is best known as a playwright\, novelist\, and actor. Most recently he starred with Laura Linney on Broadway in Donald Margulies' Time Stands Still\, and in 2012 he completed work on a study of Soghomon Tehlirian and the Nemesis conspiracy. Bogosian wrote and starred in the play Talk Radio (NYSF\, 1987\; Broadway with Liev Schreiber\, 2007)\, for which he received Pulitzer Prize and Tony award nominations. For his film adaptation of the play\, Bogosian received the Berlin Film Festival Silver Bear Award. In addition to Talk Radio\, Bogosian has written a number of full-length plays including subUrbia (LCT\, Second Stage\, adapted to film)\, Griller (Goodman)\, Red Angel (Williamstown Theater Festival)\, Humpty Dumpty (The McCarter)\, and 1+1 (New York Stage and Film). He is also the author of three novels - Mall\, Wasted Beauty\, and Perforated Heart - and a novella\, Notes from Underground. As an actor\, Bogosian has appeared in numerous films and television programs\, starring in Robert Altman's The Caine Mutiny Court Martial\, Oliver Stone's Talk Radio\, Under Siege II\, Wonderland\, and as Captain Danny Ross on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. His six solo Off-Broadway performances between 1980 and 2000 - including Drinking in America\; Sex\, Drugs\, Rock & Roll\; and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee - received three Obie awards. He lives in New York with his wife\, director Jo Bonney.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kat Edmonson
DESCRIPTION:Kat Edmonson seemingly came out of nowhere in 2009 to take the Austin\, TX music scene by storm. The Texas native grew up in Houston with a mother who introduced her to the Great American Songbook. Her self-released debut album \"Take To the Sky\" hit the top 20 on Billboard’s jazz charts\, adding enough juice that she found herself playing gigs with Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett. A musical kinship with Lyle led to a high-profile duet on the Christmas classic “Baby\, It’s Cold Outside” which the pair performed together on tour as well as on \"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.\" This set the stage for \"Way Down Low\,\" her second record and first to include her original material. The album hit number one on the iTunes jazz chart. After selling out club shows in New York\, Boston\, Houston\, and Los Angeles\, Edmonson hit the road last fall supporting fellow Austin musician Gary Clark Jr. and later\, Chris Isaak. \"I think she’s great\,\" says Lyle. \"She’s got such an authentic\, almost old-time jazz quality about her.\" Like the famous Texan Norah Jones\, Kat is finding her way between jazz and contemporary songwriting.
