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:Daughters of Fire

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Milada Vachudova\, associate professor of political science\, University of North Carolina. \n\nThe enlargement of the European Union (EU) continues in the Western Balkans in the 2010s because the underlying dynamics remain largely the same. EU member states still see enlargement as a matter of national interest bringing economic and geopolitical benefits over the long term.  The risk of instability in the Western Balkans has made the dividends from the EU’s “democratizing effect” especially substantial.  The enlargement process continues to have a ”˜democratizing effect’ as Western Balkans candidates and proto-candidates respond to the incentives of EU membership:  political parties have changed their agendas to make them EU-compatible\, and governments have implemented policy changes to move forward in the pre-accession process.  Yet the EU is taking on candidates with difficult initial conditions:  the article assesses the changes that the EU has made in order to exercise its leverage more effectively in the Western Balkans\, and whether these have helped overcome problems with expertise\, consistency and legitimacy in the EU’s pre-accession process.\n\nMilada Anna Vachudova specializes in the democratization of postcommunist Europe\, the enlargement of the European Union\, and the impact of international actors on domestic politics. She is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her book\, Europe Undivided: Democracy\, Leverage and Integration after Communism\, was published by Oxford University Press in 2005. Professor Vachudova is now working on her second book project comparing the experience of democratization and   international engagement in the Western Balkans since 1995. Professor Vachudova has held fellowships and research grants from a number of organizations in the United States and Europe. She received a BA from Stanford University in 1991. As a British Marshall Scholar and a member of St. Antony’s College\, she completed a D.Phil. in the Faculty of Politics at the University of Oxford in 1997.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Why Economics Can't Explain the Modern World\, 1800 to the Present
DESCRIPTION:A Bourgeois Revaluation overtaking Holland and then Britain from Shakespeare’s time to Adam Smith made the modern world.  The material changes–empire\, trade–were shown in Bourgeois Dignity (2010) to be inadequate to explain the explosion of incomes 1800 to the present.  What pushed the world into frenetic innovation were the slowly changing ideas 1600-1848 about the urban middle class and about their material and institutional innovations.  A class long scorned by barons and bishops\, and regulated into stagnation by its very own guilds and city councils and cozy monopolies\, came to be treasured–at least by the standard of earlier\, implacable scorn–first in Holland and then in Britain and then the wider world.  With more or less good grace the people around the North Sea began to accept the Bourgeois Deal: Let me profit and I'll make you rich.  Then people did so in Europe generally and its offshoots\, and finally now in China and India.  Most people\, with the exception of the angry clerisy of artists and intellectuals (and even them only after 1848)\, stopped hating the bourgeoisie.  That is\, not economics but “humanomics” explains our riches.\n\nSpeaker: Deirdre McCloskey teaches economics\, history\, English\, and communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago.  A well-known economist and historian and rhetorician\, she has written sixteen books and around 400 scholarly pieces on topics ranging from technical economics and statistics to transgender advocacy and the ethics of the bourgeois virtues.   Her latest book\, Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can't Explain the Modern World is the second in a series of three on The Bourgeois Era.  The first was The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce\, asking if a participant in a capitalist economy can still have an ethical life (briefly\, yes).  With Stephen Ziliak she wrote in 2008\, The Cult of Statistical Significance\, which criticizes the proliferation of tests of \"significance.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Lucius
DESCRIPTION:Lucius is the duo of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig\, both Berklee School of Music graduates. When they wrote their self-titled EP\, Lucius was living in an old Victorian house in Brooklyn\, New York's Ditmas Park area. They found the place on Craigslist\, not knowing it had been a recording studio and music school for 60 years prior. There were so many treasures that had been left behind–like a 100-year-old Steinway piano that would nurture their writing habits. The four-story musical fortress also housed eight other musician friends and would soon open their doors to bandmates\, Danny Molad and Peter Lalish\, and later\, Andrew Burri. \"None of us were concerned with trying to sound like ”˜a band’\, we just wanted to create a unique environment for each song to sit in\,” they say. Much of their record is about these unique experiences\, told from the same perspective\, at the same time\, with the same sentiment. Two voices as one. \"One minute\, Lucius sounds like a girl group circa 1961\; the next\, you could be hearing an Emmylou Harris outtake\,\" says NPR's Bob Boilen. Lucius is a real find! Don't believe us? Take it from Paul Krugman of The New York Times\, who writes\, \"They're something special\, and their songs keep rattling around in my head.\"
