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:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Noah Tucker\, Central Asia sociocultural analyst\, Courage Services\n\nThis talk will examine the interaction of religious and national identity in the New Media publications of contemporary Uzbek poets and religious teachers\, comparing and contrasting the independent approaches of three popular authors that at times reference and respond to one another. These are: Hayrullo Hamidov\, the popular poet\, radio host\, journalist and religious teacher jailed by the Uzbek government in spring 2010\; “Muniyb\,” a pseudonymous religious scholar and poet who recently published a voluminous religious commentary on the meaning of suffering and the 2010 Osh violence combined with a number of original poems\; and Obidxon Qori Nazarov (Sobitxon O’g’li)\, an exiled popular cleric known for his digitally published sermons and broadcasts.\n\nPopular works by these two post-Soviet “new Uzbek” authors and one of the last remaining late-Soviet reformist (mujaddidiyya) clerics reach Uzbeks around the world thanks to the digital media platforms that both create space for them to exist and shape the way they are received and who can interact with them. This paper argues that in spite of Uzbekistan’s tight censorship environment\, multiple non-state voices participate in contemporary and increasingly important debates about what it means to be both Uzbek and Muslim\, and that these two interwoven perspectives shape social responses to social and political pressures\, tragedy\, violence\; ultimately\, they inform questions about how to live a “good” and meaningful life in contemporary conditions.\n\nNoah Tucker has worked in a variety of positions involving intelligence\, analysis and research\, and education. He currently conducts research and analysis of socio-economic\, political\, and human rights issues in post-Soviet Central Asia as a consultant for U.S. government agencies\, NGOs\, and academic projects\, and provides research and reporting to senior national-level policymakers. He has lived\, worked\, and done field research in the former USSR for over four years (primarily in Uzbekistan\, Russia\, and Kyrgyzstan). From 2002-05\, he was co-founder and director of a non-profit education project in Tashkent\, Uzbekistan. He holds an M.A. in Russian\, Eastern European and Central Asian Area Studies from Harvard University.\n\nPart of the series Pluralism in Politics and Culture\, a new initiative jointly sponsored by CREES and WCED that examines the foundations of free and open societies. The project builds on the university’s rich legacy of study and support of the dissident culture in the former Soviet Union and on several existing efforts at U-M. The series focuses on multiple facets of political pluralism\, including its legal\, cultural\, and economic dimensions\, and explore them in a broader historical context.

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.
