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

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: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:Workshop / Seminar:New Media Lab: Art in Action\, Inspired by Francis Alÿs
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop participants will take a closer look at the video installation Guards by Francis Alÿs\, and then join a discussion with the instructor about other themes and works by the artist. Often the way contemporary artists use various media\, like video\, performance\, or social action may be enigmatic and hard to penetrate at first. This looking laboratory will introduce new ways of seeing and engaging in the poetry of experience that such works attempt to communicate. The workshop will culminate in a collaborative activity that uses the space of the museum and the street as a matrix for a larger group work of art. All levels welcome\; no experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CCS Chinese Documentary Film Series
DESCRIPTION:The film series is free and open to the public.\n\nA film by Zhou Hao\; China\, 2009\; 114 minutes (Mandarin and Henan Dialect with English subtitles). Filmed with unprecedented access to a Communist Party leader\, investigative filmmaker Zhou Hao offers a startlingly candid look inside Chinese politics at the local level.\n\nHailed by international press as an exceptional work of investigative filmmaking\, \"The Transition Period\" captures the daily life of a Chinese official with incredible ground-level detail. With boastfully candid interviews from Guo and fly-on-the-wall coverage of closed-door dealings\, Zhou lays bare the unsavory dynamics within China's top-down power structures. Penetrating in scope yet objective in its approach\, \"The Transition Period\" reveals the conflicting forces shaping China's path to prosperity.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Spirit of Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Admission is free\, and there will be a discussion afterwards about the impact of the 1967 events on the subsequent history of Detroit.\n\nSpirit of Detroit\, a new play by Mercilee M. Jenkins tells the story of two people\, Anthony\, a black man\, and Lucy\, a white woman\, who return to Detroit after a long absence to find a very different city. They grew up on the east side in different worlds only three blocks from each other\, together survived the events of July 1967–alternately described as a riot and a rebellion–and now meet again forty years later. As they revisit their past through Anthony’s paintings\, they come to a new understanding of their relationship to each other and the future of the city. Two actors play all the characters in Spirit\, demonstrating our connections to each other\, even in our moments of deepest conflict. The Spirit of Detroit reminds us why we stayed\, why we left\, why we came back and why we’re here now–the opportunity to create a twenty-first century Detroit. The play\, which has had staged readings at Matrix Theatre in Detroit\, will be directed by Kate Mendeloff of the UM Residential College. It is a featured program University of Michigan’s LSA Winter 2013 Theme Semester Understanding Race. http://understandingraceproject.org/

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:The Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:On the road and in the studio\, The Steel Wheels are tapping into Americana traditions and creating fresh-sounding acoustic fervor. The band's new album\, \"Lay Down Lay Low\,\" succeeds in capturing the fire-in-the-belly spirit of the band's mesmerizing live shows wile fine-tuning carefully crafted lyrical stories that surprise the ear and linger in the heart. Acoustic instrumentation escorts the listener into a slow dance or a full-throttle ride\, while lead vocals from Trent Wagler soar and find the perfect complement in supporting vocals from mandolin player Jay Lapp\, with bass player Brian Dickel and fiddler Eric Brubaker joining for soul-thrilling harmonies. \"Americana music at its very best!\" says Larry Groce of public radio's \"Mountain Stage\,\" and we think if you saw the Wheels at this year's Folk Festival\, you'll agree!
