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.

Blackburn earned a BFA from Ohio State University\, and her studio is Grins Clay.

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:CJS Noon Lecture - EVENT CANCELLED The Phantom Hut: Landscape Appreciation and Hermetic Tendencies in Japan and the West
DESCRIPTION:DUE TO THE SPEAKER'S ILLNESS\, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO RESCHEDULE FOR A LATER DATE. THANK YOU.\n\nFor a large proportion of us\, our perception of landscape today is built from models invented inside the mind by artistic production\, individual memory and collective culture. In addition\, it is the abundance\, the complexity and most of all the speed that we now view the world that makes it particularly difficult for us to really ”˜see’ nature as no more than a fleeting apparition or visual spectacle. As in Plato’s cave allegory we content ourselves with the illusions of reality and as our lives become more intertwined with technology our constructions of multiple realities increase.\n\nRecent research trips to the ancient Kumano trails of Japan and the wilderness of the Arctic has resulted in a new body of work I refer to as the Phantom Hut series. This theme is a continuation of a long tradition in both Japan and the West that links Landscape with introversion and solitude. This ongoing project explores the phenomenon of detachment and simulation through integrating large-scale oil paintings\, architectural and optical installations. This lecture maps the context and creative results of my attempt to present new approaches to the visualization of nature/landscape and interiority.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nRobert Platt (b. London\, England) has an MA (Painting) from The Royal College of Art\, London and a Ph.D. from Kyoto City University of Arts\, in Kyoto\, Japan. His work has been exhibited at galleries and art fairs internationally and reviewed in publications such as Art Review and Frieze Magazine. Platt is an Assistant Professor at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan\, where he teaches painting.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Resurrecting Refuse at Pompeii: The Use-Value of Urban Refuse and Its Implications for Interpreting Archaeological Assemblages\n\nDr. Kevin Dicus\nCase Western Reserve University\n\nRefuse deposits are the most commonly excavated assemblages in Pompeii\, but little is understood about how the ancient Romans managed or thought of their waste. This lecture examines refuse deposits in the archaeological record at Pompeii and the formation processes involved in their depositions. I argue that refuse retained a real use value and was not\, as today\, meant to be separated permanently from the behavioral system as a collection of “dead” objects. Refuse was instead reclaimed and reused\, re-entering the fabric of the city. Consequently\, many assemblages recovered within the city bear no relationship to the function of the spaces in which they are found. Great care must be taken\, then\, to understand\, first\, the formation process of the assemblages so that we can understand\, second\, how to read them.\n\n
