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:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: The wait seems to go on forever (mural\, 2008) 
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: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: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)

Often described as haunting\, alluring and dreamy\, Cowboy Junkies have long since secured their place in the annals pop rock history. Their lauded 1988 release\, The Trinity Session\, is the band's seminal album\, a melancholic mixture of blues\, country\, folk\, and rock featuring a collection of originals\, covers and traditional songs. After the success of that unforgettable album\, the Junkies gracefully built an impressive discography\, and they've just finished a cycle of four albums completed over 18 months. The latest\, \"The Wilderness\,\" sees the band taking the long view without losing their atmospheric bluesy sound. \"These idle tales we need to keep us going\, these tales are for our children\,\" they sing. Writes Fred Thomas of\nAllMusic: \"Topics like parenthood and getting older come up more than late-twenties existential ennui\, but are addressed with the same lost\, wandering uncertainty that characterized the band's earlier work.\" Cowboy Junkies are\, in short\, a band whose value has transcended the excitement of youth. They were extraordinary then and they are equally extraordinary today. We are very proud to welcome them for The Ark's 2013 Fall Fundraiser.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Violet Hour (Sunday 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. 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\, and Jessie Brewster a popular black jazz singer and John's very secret mistress. Meanwhile\, another drama is playing out in the anteroom: A machine of mysterious provenance and purpose has arrived and is spewing out stacks of pages. What's written on these pages will throw John's every hope and plan into disarray.\n\n\"A wonderful new work”¦of serious whimsy\, of glittering style and dark substance”¦THE VIOLET HOUR balances heights of wit with depths of feeling.\" –NY Times
