SUMMARY:Exhibition:Birthing Reproductive Justice: 150 Years of Images and Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Reproductive Justice -- the right to have children\, not have children\, and parent our children in healthy and safe environments -- is a movement and perspective that arose in the 1990s. Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Behind the Veil: Monoprint & Mixed Media 
DESCRIPTION:Casey Blanchard is a monoprint and mixed media artist living in Vermont. During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Birdpants: Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Missy Orge creates work that is evocative of scientific curiosities and mounted butterflies\, with a humor that sneaks up and inspires a much closer look. Her current work focuses on birdpants  ̶  tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed  ̶  and decidedly non-traditional  ̶  confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mediterraneo: Watercolor

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Newspaper Diary: Color Photography 
DESCRIPTION:For Joanne Leonard\, preserving newspaper clippings is something of an urgent task since future generations may know only digital versions of these fragile pages of newspaper. Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography.  She is a distinguished Professor Emeritus at U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Altmannerisms: \"Secret Honor\" & \"Tanner '88: The Dark Horse\"
DESCRIPTION:View two films directed by Robert Altman: Secret Honor and Tanner '88: The Dark Horse. This Cinetopia film screening takes place in Angell Hall\, Auditorium A.\n\nSecret Honor: In this one-man drama by Altman\, we see former President Richard Nixon dictating his thoughts into a tape recorder. He’s alone\, except for a closed-circuit TV setup\, a bottle of Chivas Regal\, and a loaded pistol. At times addressing an imaginary judge in a court of public opinion\, at other times speaking to an aide named Roberto\, and sometimes just talking to himself\, the former chief executive reflects\, in a series of meandering monologues\, on his humble Quaker upbringing\, his school days\, his family\, and a political career that reached all the way to the White House. Nixon rails at his treatment by the likes of Dwight D. Eisenhower\, the Kennedys\, J. Edgar Hoover\, Henry Kissinger\, Jews\, liberals\, and the media\, as he leads up to the “true” reasons for the Watergate scandal that resulted in his resignation – an act he regards as one of “secret honor.” 1984. 90 min. Not rated.\n\nTanner ’88 (pilot episode): This political mockumentary miniseries was written by Garry Trudeau and directed by Altman. First broadcast by HBO during the months leading up to the 1988 U.S. presidential election\, it goes behind the scenes of former Michigan U.S. representative Jack Tanner’s bid to secure the Democratic party’s nomination for President of the United States. The story is told from a number of different points of view\, including Tanner\, his campaign staff\, the small army of news reporters that constantly follow the candidate\, and volunteers. Many political figures of the time appear (some in cameos\, some extended)\, including Bruce Babbitt\, Bob Dole\, Kitty Dukakis\, Gary Hart\, Jesse Jackson\, and Pat Robertson. In this pilot episode\, Tanner and his daughter visit with potential voters on the weekend before the New Hampshire primary\, while his first campaign commercial is evaluated by a focus group. 1988. 60 min. Not rated.\n\nThis screening is one part of a series of Altmannerisms: Conversations Celebrating the Opening of the Robert Altman Archive. We invite you to take part in any or all of the events.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Boutette
DESCRIPTION:Dave Boutette’s Midwest is full of passion\, humor\, and a certain shaky grace. Influenced by songwriters from Chuck Berry to John Prine to Elvis Costello\, he documents the travels and triumphs of life in the heartland. In turn\, his folk-rock music is being closely studied by pretty much the entire crowd of younger writers at work in Michigan's roots scene these days. Dave grew up in Detroit's shadow\, and he peppers his performances with great stories of his home and his life on the road. Advice\, observations\, and even raffles are as apt to appear during a performance as are his songs. Blending many schools of American roots and popular music including folk\, blues\, swing\, and old-time country\, his songs testify to the power of true love\, rebirth\, snow plows\, and migrating fish\, for a start. Stop in for the concert\, meet Dave\, and pick up his latest album\, \"Mending Time.\" Tonight's opener is the prodigious scion of Frog Holler Farm\, Billy King!\n
