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

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:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. \"The Dialogism of Religious Renewals: The Co-Constitution of Christian and Islamic Movements in Java Since the Late 19th Century\"
DESCRIPTION:Christianity in Java is an understudied topic. Its influence in the culture and history of Indonesia has long been neglected and recently outshined by the enthusiasm to study Islam in Java. This talk highlights significant interlacing relations between Christianity and Islam since the late 19th century\, including Gerakan Jemaat Kristen Jawa Merdeka (“The Independent Javanese Christian Movement”) in the 1920s and its popular Islamized form of Christianity\, the cultural anatomy of the largest reformist Muslim organization Muhammadiyah (“The Followers of The Prophet”) and its relation to missionary societies\, and the proliferation of Gereja Pantakosta/Karismatik (Pentecostal/Charismatic church) during the 21st-century and its ritualistic expressions in relation to Islamic renewals. Taking a Bakhtinian approach to examine cultural complexity in Javanese society\, this presentation will explore “religions” as “movements” that are not a priori entities disconnected from one another\, but constantly negotiated as part of a larger social heteroglossia that critically informs people’s religious identities.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series - “Nippon”: Furuyashiki Village
DESCRIPTION:By the early 1980s\, Ogawa Productions was well into a massive film about rice and village history\, when an unusual cold front caused serious crop damage in a village deep in the mountains behind Magino. Furuyashiki was a prototypical mountain village\, with thatched roofs and deep\, deep snow. Ogawa plays with the conventions of the science documentary to examine the crop damage problem\, while penetrating deep into the history of the village. In this tiny mountain hamlet\, he finds the entire history of Japan – from ancient sea creatures through the catastrophe of WWII to the quiet violence of the economic miracle. As one old man says\, “We thought the paved road would bring modernity\; instead\, it made it easier for the young people to leave.”
