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 Pierced Porcelain
DESCRIPTION:In this current body of work\, Kate Tremel is interested in taking a fresh look at traditional pottery forms within a functional context. She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Stitched Impressions: Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Textile artist Carole Harris is a Detroit native. Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Art of Storytelling: Fabric Appliqué
DESCRIPTION:Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work is about the mysterious origin of joy and the wonder of childhood. To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ten Thousand Urban and Rural Things: BASEbeijing
DESCRIPTION: The number ten thousand is not an exact number in Chinese. Traditionally\, ten thousand was thought of as such an unimaginably large number that it became the equivalent of infinity. The concept includes everything you can point to or even name -- all of reality.\n\nIt is sometimes translated as \"myriad creatures\" or \"ten thousand beings\,\" but that makes one falsely assume that the concept includes only living creatures. The ten thousand things also includes inanimate objects (such as rocks\, buildings\, stars)\, emptiness (like outer space or vacuums)\, and abstractions (such as dreams\, thoughts\, principles\, beliefs\, language\, the Internet).\n\nThe work done at BASEbeijing since 2006 has been a quest for finding\, experiencing\, collecting and acting upon ten thousand urban and rural things. The things collected and exhibited are a combination of \"real\" things\, forgeries\, duplications and representations. The work in the exhibit involved \"acting upon\" the ten thousand things\, often taking the form of books\, designed objects and structures done while in residence at BASE. While BASE was founded on a commitment to an interest in urban space\, our attention was quickly pulled toward the rural\, and we have come to find a surprising new space that is not one or the other\, but rather a continuity that involves both simultaneously.\n\nBASEbeijing is a collaboration involving students from Taubman College\, the University of Michigan\, and various schools in both the U.S. and China.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Elena Osokina\, professor of Russian history\, University of South Carolina.\n\nIn the 1930s\, to aid Soviet industrialization the Stalinist leadership sold antiques and art abroad literally by the thousands of tons. It was unfortunate for the USSR that the most active period in the art export coincided with the world economic crisis. Market prices\, including those for art\, dropped drastically. To fulfill its “currency targets” the Soviet government had to shift from the export of ordinary antiques to masterpieces\, including major works of art from the Hermitage. The masterpieces sold by the Soviet government to finance industrialization became important holdings of many world famous museums. This talk will explore the impact that Stalin’s art export had on building the core of the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C. and the role of the United States Secretary of the Treasury\, Andrew W. Mellon\, who became one of the most famous buyers of art from the Soviet museums.\n\nElena A. Osokina\, professor of Russian history at the University of South Carolina\, received her Ph.D. from the Department of History at Moscow University\, Russia. She is the author of Gold for Industrialization: Torgsin (Rosspen\, 2009\, in Russian)\, Our Daily Bread: Socialist Distribution and the Art of Survival in Stalin’s Russia\, 1927-1941 (M.E. Sharpe\, 2001)\, Hierarchy of Consumption: Life under the Stalinist Rationing System\, 1928-1935 (MGOU\, 1993\, in Russian)\, and numerous articles on Russian and Soviet social and economic history. She is currently engaged in a research project\, “Rembrandts for Tractors\,” that explores the social\, economic and cultural effects of the Soviet mass art exports under Stalin to finance Soviet industrialization. Osokina is a recipient of the fellowships from the Kennan Institute-Woodrow Wilson Center\, NEH\, Fulbright\, National Gallery of Art\, Hoover Institution\, Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (Paris)\, Harvard University’s Davis Center for Russian Studies\, Aleksanteri Institute (Helsinki)\, and others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth 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. \n\nRon 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. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: prints 
DESCRIPTION:Rising young South African artist Mary Sibande constructs elaborate visual narratives to consider race\, gender\, and class in post-colonial South Africa. Rooted in her own family’s history of three generations of women as domestic servants\, Sibande’s larger-than-life figures clothed in yards of fabric confront the viewer with the stark limits of cultural heritage as well as the possibility of transformation. Sibande’s Ann Arbor fellowship includes an original installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, a Penny Stamps lecture\, an open studio at the Stamps School on North Campus\, and exhibition of Sibande’s existing work at Gallery DAAS\, the U-M Museum of Art\, and the Stamps School Slusser Gallery.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fleeting Beauty\, Enduring Consequences
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden is the largest collection of heirloom peonies in North America and now takes the lead role in an international initiative to preserve and catalog living historic peonies by aesthetic\, cultural\, and scientific criteria. Yet these abstract criteria quickly present very real and conflicting decision points about which peonies to save from extinction. Matthaei-Nichols Curator Dr. David C. Michener discusses these issues and the remarkable role the garden plays as a global reference collection. Audience members are invited to critique the decision process and the project trajectory following an illustrated presentation. \n\nThe Peony Garden\, started in 1922 with a gift from Dr. W. E. Upjohn (UM Class of 1875)\, is being stewarded as a distinctive living collection in a museum context with deepening roles as a public icon\, cross-cultural resource\, genomic treasury and DNA-fingerprinted research tool. Public and academic users are being provided with unparalleled access to the living plants\, their records and their literature. Visit the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden website for more information: mbgna.umich.edu/peony/.

DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Bluegrass with Noam Pikelny (banjo)\, Bryan Sutton (guitar)\, Jesse Cobb (mandolin)\, Barry Bales (bass)\, and Luke Bulla (fiddle)\, marks a historic collaboration between five of the most celebrated acoustic instrumentalists and singers of our time. These musical friends are gathering in concert to share with audiences a musical experience that customarily only happens behind closed doors\, whether backstage at a festival or at a Nashville picking party. With each member being a front man in his own right\, the band will present an evening of original and classic bluegrass music.\n\nNOAM PIKELNY has emerged as the preeminent banjoist among a new generation of acoustic musicians. Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as the \"pros' top banjo picker\,\" Noam is a founding member of Punch Brothers and has helped broaden the awareness of the banjo in the mainstream through numerous collaborations on stage and in the studio.

Sutton is a six-time winner of the IBMA's Guitarist of the Year\, and received a Grammy in 2007 for \"Best Country Instrumental Performance\" for his duet recording with Doc Watson. \n\nJESSE COBB is a sought after mandolinist known for his strong rhythmic presence and lyrical leads. Jesse has toured extensively in the US and Europe\, taught at major festivals and camps\, and as a member of The Infamous Stringdusters\, has won awards and accolades from the Bluegrass and Americana communities including a Grammy nomination for the band in 2011. Jesse works as a freelance musician as well as performing as The Cobb Brothers Duo with Shad Cobb. \n\nBARRY BALES Barry Bales was born and raised in the music-rich hills of East Tennessee.
