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:Other:Detroit Collective - A Work∙Detroit Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Come experience Work”¢Detroit at the University of Michigan Detroit Center and see why it’s one of the city’s most distinctive art venues. Opening Friday\, November 8\, the 2013 fall exhibition season continues with “Detroit Collective.”\n\nCurated by Robert Mirek and featuring work from more than 30 artists\, Detroit Collective highlights dedicated studio artists\, writers and designers who have made significant contributions to Detroit’s cultural climate since the 1970s.\n\nAn opening reception for Detroit Collective kicks off Friday\, November 8 from 6 – 9 p.m. and is open to the general public. The event begins with an instrumental performance by Frank Pahl in the Work-Detroit Galley. From 7 – 9 p.m.\, a film screening by Joseph Bernard\, Alison Donahue\, Scott Northrup and Terri Sarris will take place in the Ann Arbor Room with a live musical performance by Alison Donahue prior to seating.  \n\nArtists of this exhibition include: Anita Andersons / Mark Arminski / Joseph Bernard / Robert Bielat / Mary Bush / Doug Cannell / David Clements / Dan Danilowicz / Maxwell Davis / Alison Donahue / Robert Edwards / Gary Eleinko / Mary Fortuna / Sara Frank / Bill Harris / Tim Holmes / Robert Quentin Hyde / Lester Johnson / Alan Kaniarz / Karen Klein / Kip Kowalski / Richard Mylenek / Christopher Merlo / Dennis Nawrocki / Scott Northrup / Frank Pahl / Catherine Peet / Paul Price / Josephine Primeau / Paul Primeau / Paul Runde / Terri Sarris / S. William Schudlich / Bradley Smith / Julie Russell Smith / Nelson Michael Will Smith.\n\nAbout the Films\n\nNight Mix\n1982 / Color and B&W / Super 8 / Silent / 10 min 45 secs\nAn early title that carries a broad filmmaking vocabulary\,  this film is a response to a \"still vs. motion\" picture debate between a photographer and Joseph Bernard.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Is the Financial Industry (and Your Portfolio) Now More\, or Less\, Secure Five Years after the Crash?
DESCRIPTION:Five years since the financial crisis of autumn 2008 is a good time to take stock of the reform of financial regulation. The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 enacted the most significant changes to financial regulation in the U.S. since the Great Depression. The international standards in Basel III\, being implemented in stages\, were designed to strengthen bank capital requirements by increasing bank liquidity and decreasing bank leverage. But have these new regulations really strengthened the system?  And how do these changes\, along with unprecedented monetary policy\, affect the risk and expected return of stocks and bonds looking ahead?  A panel of distinguished experts will discuss these issues and respond to questions from the audience.\n\nPanel: \nJessica Hoffman Brennan\, The Carlyle Group\;\nPeter Hooper\, Deutsche Bank Securities\;\nAllen Sinai\, Decision Economics\n\nModerator:\nJoel Slemrod\, Department of Economics Professor and Chair\n\nSponsored by the Michigan Institute for Teaching and Research in Economics

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: prints

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:Lecture / Discussion:Sustainable Systems Forum
DESCRIPTION:Two renowned scholars on urban systems share their perspectives on how we may foster more resilient and sustainable urban infrastructures for the 21st Century.  Professor Christopher Kennedy (Civil Engineering\, University of Toronto) presents cities as an urban metabolism\, composed of material and energy stocks and flows\, and discusses how infrastructure is a fundamental determinant of the metabolism.  Professor John Crittenden (Director\, Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems\, Georgia Tech University) introduces the audience to infrastructure ecology\, which conceptualizes and models traditional infrastructures (e.g.\, water\, energy\, transportation) and socio-economic-ecological infrastructures (e.g.\, community design\, land use planning) as an intertwined\, complex\, emergent urban nexus. \n\nEach presenter will speak for approximately twenty minutes\, followed by questions from University of Michigan assistant professors\, Joshua Newell (SNRE) and Ming Xu (SNRE)\, and from the audience.  The event will produce a lively\, interactive discussion and reflection on what we must do to forge sustainable\, resilient cities in an era of climate change\, unprecedented urbanization\, and ecological crises.  A reception follows this special event.

DESCRIPTION:Note the new location for this film only:\n\nAskwith Auditorium\, Lorch Hall\,\n611 Tappan Street\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\n\n\nAs the protests at Sanrizuka transformed\, Ogawa began looking for other subjects. He eventually moved to Yamagata\, but considered other subjects like this one: the brutal Kotobukicho district of Yokohama. Only 250 meters on a side\, it was home to 6\,000 people living in 90 run-down flophouses. This was where day laborers lived and died on the streets. Following the method they developed in Sanrizuka\, Ogawa’s crew lived with the workers\, tenderly filming the trials of their daily lives. It is a touching and heartrending film.

DESCRIPTION:Whirling Dervishes (Sema)\n\nThis ritual dance\, called Sema\, is among the most exquisite ceremonies of spirituality. The whirling of the dervishes is an act of love and a drama of faith. The Sema is a precise choreography\, a mediation in \nmotion in which the dervishes are accompanied by beautiful\, authentic Sufi music. The music contains some of the most core elements of Eastern classical music and serves as an accompaniment for Rumi’s poetry.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dar Williams
DESCRIPTION:Dar Williams is a longtime Ark favorite who finds the personal in the political and the universal–and sets folk commitment to great pop tunes. Dar has always kept audiences guessing. Are her songs autobiographical? They're so vivid\, and they seem so personal\, that you assume they must be. But Dar says that she prefers to write about and for other people. Her songs tell stories of politics\, religion\, sexuality\, and family\, and the grassroots activism she has practiced often finds its way into her music. Dar comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"In the Time of Gods.\" Its lyrics traffic in the complex and mysterious world of mythology\, which aligned with other issues the singer-songwriter was grappling with. \"I'm interested in power right now\,\" Dar says. \"I’m in my 40s\, and I’m shocked that the café conversations I had in my 20s-’Somebody has to do something!’- are now my responsibility. I see people who are actually doing things that you always dreamed somebody would do\, and I can help make that a reality. So the stakes are higher\, in a good way\, but you also see the shadow\, the reckless behavior\, where a person can lose it all in a weekend.\"
