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:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Reconstructed Landscapes: Collage
DESCRIPTION:Ann Arbor artist Cheryl Dawdy received her BA from U-M and then dabbled in different media (printmaking\, weaving\, natural dyes) until discovering collage. She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life.  Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Songs of the Birds: Airbrushed Acrylics
DESCRIPTION:Mixing science and art\, local artist Carol Hanna interprets the songs of birds using visual language that represents the color of the birds and the notes of their songs. The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color. Hanna has exhibited both locally and nationally\, and her works are in permanent collections at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the C. S. Mott Children's and Women's Hospital. She received both a BFA and an MA from Eastern Michigan University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The War of Graffiti\": Contested Spaces in Beirut
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Melanie Schulze Tanielian\, Assistant Professor\, Department of History\, University of Michigan.\nGraffiti as an public marker of dissent\, social criticism and expression of political and sectarian ideologies has a long history in Beirut.  It became a particularly potent marker of contested spaces during the fifteen year-long civil war (1975-1990)\, which the journalist Maria Chakhtoura has coined \"la Guerre des Graffiti.\" During the civil war\, inhabitants of the city only glanced at writings\, stencils and images on a wall and it would be obvious which militia or political party was in control of that particular street\, block\, or neighborhood of the city. In this lecture\, I will explore the public discourse that found it's expression through \"street art\" during the war which was marked by fragmentation and division and explore its changing meaning in the post-war period.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Update on the Great Lakes Water Wars
DESCRIPTION:Update on the Great Lakes Water Wars\n\nGerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, Annenberg Auditorium (1120)\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n4pm-5:30pm\n\nFree and Open to the Public\n\nPeter Annin\, Managing Director\, Environmental Change Initiative at University of Notre Dame\n\n\nAbout the lecture:\nThis presentation delves into the long history of political maneuvers and water diversion schemes that have proposed sending Great Lakes water everywhere from Akron to Arizona. Through the prism of the past\, this talk analyzes the future of Great Lakes water diversion schemes\, which now rests on the Great Lakes Compact released by the eight Great Lakes governors in December 2005. The Compact\, which lays out how much water can be taken and who can take it\, was adopted by the eight state legislatures in the Great Lakes region as well as the U.S. Congress before eventually being signed by the president in 2008. A similar agreement was adopted by the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The talk analyzes several noteworthy Great Lakes diversions that already exist\, and sheds light on potential water diversions of the future\, including the water diversion application submitted by Waukesha\, Wisconsin in 2010. A decision on the Waukesha water diversion application is expected in 2013.\n\nAbout the presenter:\nA veteran conflict and environmental journalist\, Peter Annin spent more than a decade reporting on a wide variety of issues for Newsweek. For many years he specialized in coverage of domestic terrorism and the radical right\, including the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City and the Branch Davidian standoff outside Waco\, Texas. He has spent many years writing about the environment as well\, including droughts in the Southwest\, hurricanes in the Southeast\, wind power on the Great Plains\, forest fires in the mountain West\, recovery efforts on the Great Lakes\, and the causes and consequences of the \"dead zone\" in the Gulf of Mexico. In November of 2010\, Annin was named managing director of the University of Notre Dame's Environmental Change Initiative\, which tackles the interrelated problems of invasive species\, land use and climate change\, focusing on their synergistic impacts on water quality and water quantity. Prior to joining Notre Dame\, Annin worked for a decade as Associate Director of the Institutes for Journalism and Natural Resources\, a nonpartisan national nonprofit that organizes educational fellowships for mid-career environmental journalists. In September 2006 he published his first book\, The Great Lakes Water Wars\, which has been called the definitive work on the Great Lakes water diversion controversy. In 2007 the book received the Great Lakes Book Award for nonfiction. He has a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Wisconsin\, and a master's in international affairs from Columbia University.\n\nThis event is supported by the generosity of the J.

SUMMARY:Performance:Billy Joe Shaver
DESCRIPTION:A rough-hewn discovery of Kris Kristofferson in the early 1970s\, Billy Joe Shaver was simultaneously the most down-to-earth and the most poetically ambitious of country music's \"outlaws.\" He wrote most of the songs on Waylon Jennings's \"Honky Tonk Heroes\,\" which Rolling Stone magazine once called the greatest country album ever recorded\, and ever since then he's been creating powerful\, honest music in a gritty but poetic style that's all his own. Who else would have referred in song to Jesus Christ as \"a compound country kind of guy\"? In recent years\, Shaver has suffered the death of his mother\, wife\, and son. The music this original honky-tonk hero makes today carries a wisdom born of tragedy and faith. Special guests are The Honeycutters\, The Honeycutters are\, the musical collaboration of singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and guitarist/producer Peter James. While their sound has drawn comparisons to such artists as Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris or Gillian Welch and David Rawlings\, this pair creates a unique brand of Americana music that is comfortingly familiar while being entirely original.
