Exhibition:The Orange Revolution in Ukraine: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia
2013-10-09 07:00 - 22:00 | Michigan Union - Art Lounge, First Floor
The Orange Revolution exhibit includes campaign memorabilia from the 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine such as brochures, posters, the ubiquitous orange scarf, t-shirts, bumper stickers, postcards, pins, etc. The exhibit offers a small sampling of campaign rhetoric for and against each of the presidential candidates -- Yushchenko and Yanukovich. Yuschchenko was the pro-democracy and pro-Western candidate, while Yanukovich was backed by the pro-communist, authoritarian Ukrainian regime. The first round of voting took place in November 2004, however, the results were nullified by the Supreme Court when it determined that there was widespread election fraud. Viktor Yushchenko won the presidency during the second round of voting in December 2004. Visitors will also read about the experiences of two election observers from Michigan who were in Ukraine during those heady days of change.

Using many layers of watercolor paint, Porter conveys the delicate movement of the flowers as well as their richness of color. Her educational background includes a BFA and MFA from the U-M School of Art & Design, and her work has been in one person gallery shows and on permanent display in hospitals, businesses and schools throughout southeastern Michigan.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
2013-10-09 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center - Gifts of Art Gallery – Level B2
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.

Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
2013-10-09 09:00 - 18:00 | North Quad - 2435
Reception: Friday, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435
Exhibition: October 1-18, 9am - 6pm

The exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing, swimming, travelling, shipping, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering, ecology, or regional planning.

The need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.

The work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada, Seville, Cadiz, Gibraltar/La Linea, Algeciras, Ceuta, Tangier, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies, flows, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.

The resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It
also creates a narrative, as if the viewer moved through the space, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.

Gibraltar Studio 2013
Professors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy
Students: John Arnold, Peter Dumbadze, Lyla Feinsod, Phillip Gavrilovski, Monica Griffin, Andrew Ko, Yuan Liang, Yunzhi Ou, Jason Park, Austin Tsai, Adam Wagner, Suo Ya

Special thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.

Acknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning

A note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:
The studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.

The Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a "habitat" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water, food, energy, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary, regional networks, and the geographic project?

The studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave, a gateway to the Mediterranean, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering, ecology, or policy.

Exhibition:Four Decades
2013-10-09 12:00 - 18:00 | Duderstadt Center - Gallery (Room 1019)
Four Decades, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.

A public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday, October 13, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)

Both artists work in a variety of media, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface, removed, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel.

Ron Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called "Sky Fields" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color.

Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture
2013-10-09 16:00 - 18:00 | School of Social Work Building - 1636
Alison Vacca, Manoogian Post-doctoral Fellow, U-M. Sponsors: ASP, CMENAS, Medieval and Early Modern Studies.

This talk will address the currents in nineteenth- and twentieth-century historiography concerning the Arab period in Armenia, focusing specifically on the use of Arabic and Armenian sources in the works of Armenian, European, and Arab scholars. In particular, it will consider some of the difficulties in the medieval textual material available concerning this period and will also introduce the speaker’s project on Åewond’s eighth- or ninth-century history ArÅ¡awank”˜ Arabac”˜ i Hays [Arab Invasions into Armenia]. She is currently working with a thirteenth-century manuscript of this Armenian history, which covers the establishment of the Caliphate, developments in medieval Armenia, and relations between Byzantium and Islam from 632 to 788. The ensuing discussion will review a few specific examples of confusing or interesting details from Åewond’s text and how to contextualize them with consideration of historical sources in both Arabic and Armenian.

Alison Vacca received her Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from the University of Michigan. Her dissertation, “From K'usti Kapkoh to al-Garbi: Sasanian Antecedents, the Sectarian Milieu, and the Creation of an Islamic Frontier in Arminiya (c. 700–862 CE),” explores the interrelation of religious and ethnic groups in the Near East. In particular she is interested in the eighth- or ninth-century historian Åewond and his ArÅ¡awank' Arabac' i Hays, an Armenian history covering establishment of the Caliphate, developments in medieval Armenia, and relations between Byzantium and Islam from 632 to 788. She plans to contextualize Åewond’s contribution with the literary production of the medieval Near East. Alison was a Fulbright Scholar at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where she studied Islamic, Armenian, and Jerusalemite history as well as Arabic, Armenian, and Hebrew. She has also completed a Certificate in Museum Studies, which included interning in the Islamic art collection at the Royal Ontario Museum.
