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:Conference / Symposium:II Fall Symposium: \"What is the Future for Islands?\"
DESCRIPTION:Islands often figure as sites of isolation\, exception\, the archaic\, and even backwardness.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Clearing the Air: A Physicist Takes a Long\, Hard Look at Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:The president of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR)\, Dr. Thomas J. Bogdan\, will present.\n\nTo watch online\, please register at http://tinyurl.com/TBogdan\n\n\nAbstract\n\nOur planet is entering an unprecedented era\, sometimes called the Anthropocene\, in which the increasing concentrations of various chemical species and aerosols\, produced by human activity\, are influencing the atmosphere today and will do so for centuries to come.   Politics\, competing agendas\, and confusion among policy makers and the public too often shroud this simple fact.   The role of natural variability has recently emerged as one of the most important\, and at the same time one of the most poorly understood\, aspects of our changing climate.   It is especially prone to misinterpretation.   For example\, the slowdown in the observed global temperature increase over the last 15 years does not mean the factors that contribute to long-term greenhouse warming have abated.   Likewise\, although the rapid warming across most of the planet during the 1980s and 1990s is believed to be mainly related to greenhouse gas increases\, parts of the eastern Pacific simultaneously showed measurable cooling.\n\nThis makes it all the more important that we redouble our efforts to understand the complex workings of our coupled global ocean-atmosphere-biosphere system.   As part of that task\, we must observe our atmosphere\, and the Sun that drives its behavior\, as completely and carefully as possible.   The latest assessment of the relevant physical science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\, released in September\, outlines the areas where scientists are fairly confident in their findings and where there still remain unacceptably large uncertainties.   We cannot yet say if parts of the world may enter climate regimes unseen in human history\, especially given that no previous climate serves as a perfect analogy to the situation we now face.   Global and regional computer models are becoming ever more sophisticated\, but they remain limited in their accuracy due to insufficient spatial resolution and inadequate knowledge of critical processes such as atmosphere-ocean coupling and cloud formation and dispersal.\n\nYet\, like the second law of thermodynamics\, the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass\, or renormalization in quantum electrodynamics\, the concept of human-produced climate change is not something that one may choose to unquestionably believe in\, or simply refuse to accept.   Rather\, it is something that must be carefully examined\, painstakingly compared with observations\, and when found wanting in some aspects\, subsequently reconciled with our growing knowledge of the planet upon which we live.\n\nBiography\n\nA world authority on solar-terrestrial physics\, Bogdan began his scientific training at the University at Buffalo\, State University of New York\, from which he graduated summa cum laude in 1979 with a degree in physics and mathematics. He earned a doctorate in physics from the University of Chicago in 1984\, specializing in plasma astrophysics\, and came to UCAR as a postdoctoral researcher in NCAR's High Altitude Observatory\, where he investigated solar magnetic activity and magnetohydrodynamics. He has completed advanced training programs in leadership and business management from the Federal Executive Institute and E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company.\nAs an administrator\, Bogdan has extensive experience in the formulation and execution of complex plans\, budgets\, and priorities. An inspiring public speaker\, he is a passionate advocate for the role of science in driving our global economic prosperity\, safeguarding our national security\, and bettering our society’s ability to cope with the changing world of the 21st century.\n\nReception to Follow.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:John Stratton Hawley Lecture\, \"When Blindness Makes for Sight\"
DESCRIPTION:It is quite rare for a Hindi poet to be depicted in manuscript illustrations of the works he is believed to have composed.  Yet this happens with Surdas (16th century)\, the great blind poet of the Hindi language family.  Is it Surdas’s blindness that makes it possible for us to see him?  Furthermore\, what does it mean that this poet is so constantly asking us to look–to look at the scene from the life of Krishna that he is describing?  The great word here is darshan\, that special quality of sight that matters so much to Hindus.  Aesthetically speaking\, how does Surdas offer us darshan–and then\, how do his illustrators do the same in a visual medium\, not a verbal one?\n\nJohn Stratton Hawley–more informally\, Jack–is professor of religion at Barnard College\, Columbia University.  He has written or edited sixteen books\; three more are forthcoming.  These largely concern Hinduism and the bhakti traditions of north India\, as in Three Bhakti Voices: Mirabai\, Surdas\, and Kabir in Their Time and Ours (Oxford\, 2005 and 2012) and The Memory of Love: Surdas Sings to Krishna (Oxford\, 2009).  The edited volumes range more widely\, e.g.\, Saints and Virtues\, Fundamentalism and Gender\, and (with Kimberley Patton) Holy Tears:  Weeping in the Religious Imagination. Jack Hawley has served as director of Columbia University’s South Asia Institute and has received multiple awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Smithsonian\, and the American Institute of Indian Studies.  He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Julie Snow: Architecture Made Politically
DESCRIPTION:Julie Snow leads a studio-based practice in Minneapolis\, Minnesota. The diverse scale and type of work is joined by a common exploration of material and detail. The studio's interest in pragmatic and critical programmatic reflection results in innovative designs that expand our understanding of architectural performance. Design strategies engage issues of how architecture performs within each project's\, social\, cultural and economic context. The practice has been recognized with numerous awards including the AIA Honor Award\, Holcim North American Bronze Award\, Progressive Architecture Design Award\, the Chicago Athenaeum’s American and International Architecture Awards\, Architect Magazine Annual Design Review\, the Design Distinction Award from I.D. magazine\, several Business Week/Architectural Record Awards and several US General Services Administration's Design Excellence Awards. The studio’s work has appeared in many professional journals\, nationally and internationally\, as well as in several surveys of architecture. The work of the studio was exhibited at the Chicago Architectural Foundation\; and in 2005\, Princeton Architectural Press published the first monograph on the studio’s work in its series on emerging designers from around the world.\n\nJulie recently received the American Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award. The award read \"The architecture of Julie VandenBerg Snow might be characterized as invention within convention. That is not to say that her work is conventional but to recognize that\, within a rigorous underpinning\, she and her studio make the marvelous happen. Elegance is balanced by pragmatism - she is a ballerina who can dance in work boots. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying\, \"Everything should be made as simple as possible\, but no simpler.\" The work of Julie VandenBerg Snow does this. Julie Snow has held several visiting professor positions including the Graduate School of Design at Harvard\, University of Arkansas\, University of Maryland\, and Washington University\, St. Louis. After teaching at the University of Minnesota College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture\, she received the Ralph Rapson Award for Distinguished Teaching.

SUMMARY:Performance:Matt Wertz
DESCRIPTION:What began with a homemade drum groove on Matt’s front porch in Nashville sprang into a varied ten-song album that is equal parts a dip in the electric blue waters of the 80s and a testament to the artistic breadth Wertz has developed at this point in his career.\n\nThe year was 1987. Reagan was in the White House\, Bill Cosby was the king of Thursday nights\, Dirty Dancing was selling out theaters. And on stereos across America\, singer-songwriters like Bryan Adams\, Richard Marx\, and Kenny Loggins were rocking the airwaves with hits that would go on to do the near impossible: cater to popular demand and stand the test of time.\n\nIt was 1987\, and Matt Wertz was an eight-year-old kid in Liberty\, Missouri. He went to Louis and Clark Elementary\, he took piano once a week from his Nana\, he rode shotgun in his mom’s Oldsmobile station wagon. And on those lucky afternoons when he could tune in to Casey’s Top 40\, Wertz listened to songs that would become the soundtrack of an era – Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer\,” Steve Winwood’s “The Finer Things\,” Lionel Richie\, Peter Cetera – classics set to drum machine and Stratocaster.\n\nHe didn't know it then\, but those radio waves were settling into Wertz’s memory and slow-curing his own songwriter sensibility. And after a decade of commercial success\, seven studio albums and thousands of miles touring\, they were the songs Matt found himself going back to over and over again – “Footloose\,” “Mandolin Rain\,” “Hold on to the Nights” – music that was flat-out fun to listen to. \n\nThose hours of rediscovery inspired Matt Wertz to create his newest and most ambitious project to date\, Heatwave. What began with a homemade drum groove on his Nashville front porch has sprung into a distinct\, varied ten-song record that both pays homage to the lush\, accessible sounds characteristic of that era and evidence the breadth of artistic reach Wertz has come to embody at this point in his career.\n\n“Get to You\,” the opening track on Heatwave\, was written during the initial porch session with producer Brandon Hood\, confidently dipping its toes in the electric blue waters of the 80s. The drum groove brings to mind the classic loop beats of that era and immediately establishes the album’s fluid\, dynamic tone. With “Whenever You Love Somebody\,” Wertz delivers the aching\, honest lyrics his fans have come to expect\, this time setting them against a backdrop of resonant beats and velvety guitars.\n\nIn addition to Wertz’s interpretation of his favorite 80s influences\, Heatwave also boasts tracks that feature his wide-ranging scope as a songwriter. Between working independently and on major labels like Universal Republic and Nettwerk Records\, Wertz has become a veteran musician who deftly employed his years of songwriting mastery to this latest offering. After 12 years based in Nashville\, co-writing with the best in the business\, Wertz’s own insights manifest themselves best on the introspective tracks “What I Know Right Now” and “Thing About Freedom.”\n\n“What I Know Right Now” explores a contemporary folk blend of warm harmonies and brushed snare\, and “Thing About Freedom” gently draws the album to a close with pensive lines and a melancholy steel guitar.\n\nHeatwave bridges a lifetime of musical history. Wertz uses the melodies of his Missouri childhood as a springboard into an exciting new realm of modern musical possibilities\, interpreting his influences in a striking\, singular way. As Wertz himself would say\, these are the songs he’d want stuck in his head. And that’s a good thing for everyone.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Violet Hour (Friday Performance)
DESCRIPTION:It's April 1st\, 1919\, and the young independent publisher John Pace Seavering is setting up his office: a couple of dilapidated rooms in a romantic Manhattan tower.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Violet Hour presented by The Rude Mechanicals
DESCRIPTION:It's April 1st\, 1919 and the young independent publisher John Pace Seavering is setting up his office: a couple of dilapidated rooms in a romantic Manhattan tower. With only enough capital to put out one book\, John finds himself besieged by two authors. Denny McCleary\, John's brash and gifted college friend\, has produced a manuscript so unruly it lives in a trio of crates. Denny has a surprise imperative: He's fallen in love with the enchanting heiress Rosamund Plinth\, and if John doesn't agree to publish his book today\, he'll lose her forever. But John is also being strenously lobbied by Jessie Brewster\, the popular black jazz singer who is also John's secret mistress. She's written her memoirs and is determined  to have her story known. As John temporizes with these two\, another drama is playing out in the anteroom: A machine of mysterious provenance and purpose has arrived and is spewing out stacks of pags while John's hapless assistant\, Gidger\, strives vainly to stem the flood. What's written on these pages will throw John's every hope and plan into disarray. (from Dramatists Play Service)
