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: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:A Voice From the Black Maria
DESCRIPTION:Visual artist\, suzi dessel\, will introduce the audience to Martha Gruening (1889 – 1937)\, a young Jewish woman with a fierce commitment to living a life that reflected her personal values: suffrage  and civil rights\, particularly for women\, African Americans\, and conscientious objectors. Her talk will illustrate that Gruening’s life did not conform to conventional roles of young Jewish women-of-means in the early twentieth century.\n\nDessel joins concept and materials in the creation of process-oriented art. She will describe how research guided the determination of imagery based on Gruening’s work. Conceptual art is often received by the viewing public as perplexing. Dessel’s presentation will  include images from this new body of work to enhance understanding of her work\, and of the significance of Martha Gruening’s life.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe
DESCRIPTION:Mary Lewis\, professor of history\, Harvard University.\n\nMary Lewis is professor of history at Harvard University. Her current research interests center around the international and imperial history of France\, the history of rights\, and the connections between international relations and everyday local life. Her first book\, The Boundaries of the Republic: Migrant Rights and the Limits of Universalism in France\, 1918-1940 (Stanford University Press\, 2007)\, was a winner of the 2008 James Willard Hurst Prize awarded by the Law and Society Association for the best book in socio-legal history. It was translated into French by Editions Agone in 2010. Her new book\, Divided Rule: Sovereignty and Empire in French Tunisia\, 1881-1938\, was just released by the University of California Press\; her talk will draw from the themes covered in this book.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The outcome of infection with the amphibian chytrid fungus (Bd =  Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis)\, can vary greatly between amphibian species\, and in some cases between populations of the same species.  In some amphibians\, infection with Bd can lead to the disease chytridiomycosis\, death of individuals\, and declines and extirpation at the population level. Other amphibians\, however\, can become infected with Bd without experiencing negative effects at either the individual or population level.  In California’s Sierra Nevada\, both of these outcomes of Bd infection are occurring in populations of the mountain yellow-legged frog species complex (Rana muscosa  &  Rana sierrae): chytridiomycosis has led to the extirpation of mountain yellow-legged frogs from hundreds of lakes\, while infected populations of the same species have persisted in other lakes for many years despite high Bd prevalence.  Efforts are currently underway\, both in the Sierra Nevada and worldwide\, to attempt to control this pathogen and/or limit its impact on amphibian populations. Eradication of Bd is highly unlikely\, therefore understanding the mechanisms that allow amphibian populations to persist with Bd is important for conservation efforts. In this talk\, I will investigate which of the available control strategies have the greatest potential to protect amphibian populations from extinctions.
