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

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:Conference / Symposium:Lineages of the Literary Left
DESCRIPTION:This two-day conference honors Alan M. Wald\, H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor of English and American Culture\, on the occasion of his retirement from teaching at the University of Michigan after 38 years on the faculty.

Distinguished guest speakers will present new scholarship regarding literature and leftwing political movements worldwide.\n\nAlan Wald is the world's leading authority on the relation between 20th-century U.S. literature and radical left-wing political movements.  His books and articles have illuminated the creative lives of figures such as James T. Farrell\, Langston Hughes\, Muriel Rukeyser\, Philip Rahv\, Richard Wright\, Ralph Ellison\, and Arthur Miller--and have brought attention to unduly neglected writers such as Ann Petry\, Jo Sinclair\, Carlos Bulosan\, and Joy Davidman.

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 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?

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.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Geometry Made Manifest: Interpreting Ornament in Islamic Art
DESCRIPTION:The interpretation of ornament in Islamic art has undergone profound reassessment during the past 150 years of Western scholarship. Drawing upon diverse contemporary sources from late twelfth-century Iran\, and examining brick architecture of Seljuk and post-Seljuk Iran\, this lecture proposes a cultural milieu of mathematics\, poetry\, architecture\, philosophy\, and theology\, within which the Persian historian Juzjani’s expression\, “geometry made manifest\,” takes on new meaning.\n\nCarol Bier is Visiting Scholar at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley\, CA (2010-13) and Research Associate at The Textile Museum in Washington\, DC (2001-13)\, where she served as Curator for Eastern Hemisphere Collections (1984-2001). Her research focuses on the historical development of Islamic patterns as intersections of geometry and art. Her publications include Science\, Crafts\, and the Production of Knowledge in Iran and Eastern Islamic Lands (a special issue of Iranian Studies\, 41/4 [2008]\, co-edited with Elaheh Kheirandish and Najm al-Din Yousefi)\, The Persian Velvets at Rosenborg (Copenhagen\, 1995)\, and Woven from the Soul\, Spun from the Heart: Textile Arts of Safavid and Qajar Iran (Washington\, 1987). She currently serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Mathematics and the Arts (London).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: Greg Lynn\, Greg Lynn FORM\; Professor\, UCLA Architecture and Urban Design
DESCRIPTION:Greg Lynn is innovator in redefining the medium of design with digital technology as well as pioneering the fabrication and manufacture of complex functional and ergonomic forms using CNC machinery. The buildings\, projects\, publications\, teachings and writings associated with his office have been influential in the acceptance and use of advanced materials and technologies for design and fabrication. As design opportunities today extend across multiple scales and media\, his studio Greg Lynn FORM continues to define the cutting edge of design in a variety of fields.\n\nLynn has received numerous awards including the American Academy of Arts & Letters Architecture Award in 2003. In 2001\, Time Magazine named Lynn one of 100 of the most innovative people in the world for the 21st century. In 2005\, Forbes Magazine named him one of the ten most influential living architects. In 2008\, he won the Golden Lion at the 11th International Venice Biennale of Architecture. In 2010\, he was awarded a fellowship from United States Artists.\n\nHis work is in the permanent collections of the most important design and architecture museums in the world including the CCA\, SFMoMA\, ICA Chicago and MoMA. Because of his early studies in philosophy and architecture he has been involved in combining the realities of design and construction with the speculative\, theoretical and experimental potentials of writing and teaching. This unique and innovative approach to design has also established him as an influential figure across many disciplines and led to consultations and collaborations with companies like BMW\, Swarovski\, Alessi\, Vitra\, Disney and Imaginary Forces.\n\nIn 2002\, he left his position as the Professor of Spatial Conception and Exploration at the ETHZ (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) and became an Ordentlicher University Professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. He is a Studio Professor at UCLA’s school of Architecture and Urban Design where he is currently spearheading the development of an experimental research robotics lab. Since 2000\, he has been the Davenport Visiting Professor at Yale University.\n\nLynn graduated from Miami University of Ohio with degrees in both architecture and philosophy and later from Princeton University where he received his Master of Architecture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance MFA Thesis Concert: Resulting in This
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Morris\, dance/choreography    Lauren B. Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time.    The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.

SUMMARY:Performance:Keb' Mo'
DESCRIPTION:Keb' Mo' is the musician who reinvented the blues for modern times. Born Kevin Moore and a native of the same South Los Angeles streets that spawned hip-hop's most aggressive strand\, he grew up with the blues and turned to the acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta after playing a bluesman in a Los Angeles stage production. As he built up a repertory of original songs rooted in country blues\, he began to stand apart from other blues revivalists through the inspiring quality of his music. Keb' Mo' draws on the spirituality inherent in the blues even as he writes about his modern surroundings. Keb' Mo's latest album\, \"The Reflection\,\" captures his musical spirit and virtuosity at its peak. His new songs have a deep emotional wisdom and reveal a master at blending blues\, jazz\, R&B\, and soul through melody and rhythm. This show is SOLD OUT!
