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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Islam in Contemporary Spain: Identities and Representations
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 1980s\, Spain has witnessed a boom in its Muslim population.  Many assume that this demographic boom is directly linked to the increase in North African (mostly Moroccan) immigration to Spain since the country’s incorporation in the European Union in 1986.  In fact\, Spain’s Muslim population is quite diverse: it not only includes large immigrant communities from North Africa\, sub-Saharan Africa\, and South Asia\, but also hundreds of thousands of native-born Spanish converts to Islam.  The rise of Islam in contemporary Spain has coincided with a profound reevaluation of Spanish national identity.  In the post-Franco era\, Spanish intellectuals and politicians have striven to celebrate and promote Spain’s medieval Islamic heritage as evidence of the country’s tradition of exceptional tolerance and multiculturalism.  The promotion of Spain’s Islamic past is not only political but also commercial: one of the most profitable segments of Spain’s tourism industry is built on marketing the concept of convivencia\, the supposedly harmonious coexistence of Christians\, Muslims\, and Jews in medieval Iberia.  Yet\, in a 2008 survey by the Pew Research Center\, 52% of Spaniards confessed to having negative views of Muslims\, and recent projects to build mosques in Cataluña and Andalucía have faced vitriolic public opposition.\n\nThe international symposium “Islam in Contemporary Spain: Identities and Representations\,” part of the Islamic Studies Program’s series on “Global Islam\,” seeks to examine the promises and challenges facing contemporary Spain’s diverse Muslim population and also to analyze the contradictory representations of Islam and Muslims in contemporary Spanish society.  The symposium will bring together the leading scholars and activists working on Spanish Islam in both Spain and the United States.\n\nIt will be divided into two panels: a morning panel on the topic of “Identities” and an afternoon panel on the topic of “Representations.”  The first panel on “Identities” will feature representatives from two of the most important Islamic organizations in Spain:\n\nMounir Benjelloun\, a naturalized Spanish citizen of Moroccan origin who was recently elected the president of the Islamic Commission of Spain\, the main representative body for Muslims in Spain\; and\n\nMariam Isabel Romero Arias\, a member of the executive committee of the Junta Islamica and the director of the Instituto Halal in Cordoba.\" \n\nThe second panel on “Representations” will feature anthropologists and cultural studies experts whose research focuses on competing representations of Islam in contemporary Spain:\n\nJosé Antonio González Alcantud (University of Granada\, Spain) and\n\nMikaela Rogozen-Soltar (Emory University). \n\nAvi Astor (Pompeu Fabra University)\n\nWe envision that this symposium will be of interest to faculty and graduate students in a wide range of disciplines at the University of Michigan: Islamic studies\, Hispanic studies\, Middle Eastern and North African studies\, anthropology\, history\, sociology\, political science\, and religion.\n\nThe event will be free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Golden Age of Comedy–OLLI Study Group (50+)
DESCRIPTION:The comedy of silent films is still hailed by film critics and aficionados as the funniest works in the history of motion pictures. Lacking sound\, film comedians and clowns created a world of physical humor that sometimes achieved the sublime. This course examines the individual artists of the ”˜golden age of comedy’ and considers the more general question\, why is the funny so funny? We will look at some of the early progenitors of silent comedy such as Mack Sennett and the Keystone Cops and pay special attention to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Instructor: Ira Konigsberg\n

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

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:Orientalizing Fraud and the Sistine Chapel Frescoes: Annius of Viterbo and Michelangelo
DESCRIPTION:The notoriety of Annius of Viterbo\, aka Giovanni Nanni\, as a successful fraudster\, has distracted historians from appreciating his legacy.  His anthology of forgeries\, Vetustissmi Auctores (Most Ancient Authors) published in 1498\, rewrote ancient history.  He was an early promoter of Christian Hebraism\, and his elevation by Pope Alexander VI in 1499\, to become his chief theological advisor\, signaled his influence in Rome.  After his death in 1502\, his fabrications continued reverberating through the sermons of his devotee\, the most respected preacher in Rome during the first third of the sixteenth century\, Cardinal Egidio.   \n\nTotally unrecognized has been his contribution to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes\, completed 500 years ago.  Michelangelo's older brother was a Dominican colleague of Nanni in Viterbo\, and Nanni’s follower  Cardinal Egidio was close to Michelangelo's patron\, Pope Julius II.  One distinctive aspect of the frescoes is their unprecedented attention to the story of Noah. Nanni’s Most Ancient Authors gave a central role to Noah\, claiming that he was the source of the secular authority of the papacy–Nanni dubbed him the first Pontifex Maximus–and the ancestor of all Europe's dynasties.  Trumping the Donation of Constantine\, this tale was eagerly received in Rome to reinforce the political and military agenda of Julius II.  Dominating one-third of the chapel ceiling\, Michelangelo's Noah frescoes reminded Europe's rulers and their diplomats who entered that the Holy Father was (like Noah) their worldly father as well.  Nanni and Michelangelo also countered the rise of the Ottoman dynasty.  Nanni had asserted that Christian Rome–not the Muslim usurpers–was through Noah the true heir of the lore and mysticism of the ancient Near East\, pagan and scriptural.  Accordingly\, Michelangelo filled the chapel with Orientals: the Israelite ancestors of Jesus\, sibyls\, and prophets.  \n\nBenjamin Braude teaches courses on the Middle East and on European-Middle Eastern relations. In addition to those interests\, his research also focuses on religious\, racial\, and ethnic identities in Jewish\, Christian\, and Muslim culture. Currently he is completing Sex\, Slavery\, and Racism: The Secret History of the Sons of Noah\, which examines the construction of attitudes toward color and identity from the ancient Near East and the classical world to the present. More broadly\, he is interested in post-national conceptions of historiography. He has been a visiting professor at the École des hautes etudes en sciences sociales in Paris and a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program\, Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, and Department of History.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The March of Humanitarianism: 'Clooneyal' Visibilities and the Fragmentation of the Sudan--Human Rights Fellow Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Professor Fadlalla will use George Clooney’s activism for Sudan to show how the intersection of human rights and humanitarian politics construct a grand narrative of rescue and salvation that trumps Sudanese activists’ questions of unity\, sovereignty\, and inclusive citizenship. She argues that\, in the case of Africa in general and Sudan in particular\, the grand visibilities constructed through such politics produce ”˜subaltern visibilities’ and relegate African subjects and their political affairs to the affective realm of humanitarian politics that undermine local histories and socio-economic and political struggles.\n\nAmal Hassan Fadlalla (associate professor of anthropology\, women's studies\, and Afroamerican and African studies) has been named a CICS Human Rights Fellow for 2012-2013. She is the author of Embodying Honor: Fertility\, Foreignness\, and Regeneration in Eastern Sudan (Madison: the University of Wisconsin Press\, 2007). Her recent publications appear in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society\, volume 37\, No. 1\, 2011\; Urban Anthropology\, volume 38 (1)\, 2009\; and in the School for Advanced Research edited volume New Landscapes of Inequality: Neoliberalism and the Erosion of Democracy in America 2008. She is also the coeditor (with Howard Stein) of Gendered Insecurities\, Health and Development in Africa (Routledge 2012). Her interview on Sudan’s Secession and the Future Ahead\, was published in the Fall 2011 issue of the II Journal (Volume 1\, No. 1).\n\nProfessor Fadlalla will develop and teach a course in Winter 2013 on “Human Rights and Humanitarianism: The Fight for Justice and Development in Africa.” As part of the CICS Human Rights Fellowship she will also deliver a public lecture on “Fighting with Human Rights: Transnational Activism\, Humanitarianism\, and Development in Africa\,” and will publish an article in the II Journal on Feminizing Africa: Humanitarianism\, Celebrities\, and Development in Africa.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Images of the Prophet Muhammad In and Out of Modernity: The Curious Case of a 2008 Mural in Tehran
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, a five-story mural was painted onto the wall of an apartment building in the northern section of Tehran. The mural represents the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension into the heavens\, as well as an inhabitant of Paradise offering a flower to a man in the lower right corner. While the composition is based on a 15th-century “Book of Ascension” manuscript\, it nevertheless has been altered in two significant ways: first\, a man painted in a hyper-realistic mode has been inserted into the composition and\, second\, the facial features of the Prophet have been removed. Tracing how the original painting has been pictorially augmented and edited for the public sphere\, this talk offers some new ideas on how images are received and updated in modern Islamic artistic practices. It will do so by paying special attention to the mural’s symbolic position within Tehran’s martyrial mural program\, Iran’s Shi”˜i-Islamic political agenda\, and oppositional responses to the Jyllands-Posten cartoon controversy of 2005-2006.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Martial Arts and Arts of Explication: Jin Shengtan commentary to the Shuihu Zhuan
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Robert Ashmore\, Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California\, Berkeley\n\nNothing draws a crowd like a fight: among all the classics of large-scale narrative in late imperial China\, the Shuihu Zhuan is likely the one that draws the greatest proportion of its allure from individual episodes where basic conflicts based on loyalty\, revenge\, or a sense of justice break out into kinetic scenes of spectacular and often virtuosic violence. It is no accident that the Shuihu heroes and their exploits were favorites not only for narrative elaboration on the page\, but also particularly for reenactment on the stage. This presentation will explore the process whereby this intrinsically spectacular material\, in its novelistic form\, became canonized as a masterwork of writing in particular\, worthy of a place alongside more austere and highbrow classics. The critical vocabulary\, and the exegetical strategies\, of the renowned commentator Jin Shengtan (1608-1661)\, provide an ideal window for us to begin examining these issues.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:KELSEY CONTEMPORARIES: KAYLA ROMBERGER & ALISHA WESSLER
DESCRIPTION:This special exhibition features the multimedia work of two Master of Fine Arts students from the University of Michigan School of Art & Design and Museum Studies Program. The artists explore themes of collection\, museological display\, and material culture in the context of an archaeological museum. Displayed together\, the two artists’ work creates a dynamic dialog between dystopian and utopian views of the relationships people form with objects. Romberger investigates assemblages of items as a response to apocalyptic fear\, while Wessler examines the role of collection in dream and memory.
