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.

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.

In this body of work\, poodles are represented in various dilemmas of life. The functional white ware is lighthearted\, so simple tasks such as eating and drinking can become playful. Each piece is individually handcrafted with feedback from her standard parti (two-colored) poodle\, who loves to crack a joke. Blackburn earned a BFA from Ohio State University\, and her studio is Grins Clay.

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.

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.

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.

Since at least the mid-19th century children have been a distinct audience for cookbooks and other food-related publications. This exhibit brings together materials from two fascinating strengths of the library: Children’s Literature and American Culinary History.

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.\" UID:15040-1193673@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,visual arts,china,art exhibition LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130912T161119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131206T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131206T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. \"Sovereignty's Agents: Making and Unmaking the State During the British Occupation of Manila\, 1762-1764\" DESCRIPTION:The British occupation of Manila during the Seven Years' War was ostensibly a struggle between the British and Spanish crowns and their agents. But what was the state and who were the agents\, especially in a place at the limit of British and Spanish imperial reaches? Of what did sovereignty consist\, and how was it secured? This talk considers the complex and contradictory components of state power\, focusing on the British. British state institutions- the East India Company and the Royal Navy-were formally though tenuously allied in the operation\, but often at odds with each other. Even more\, when we look closely at the personnel composing the British operation-sepoys\, lascars\, topasses\, and enemy deserters\, for example-and how those agents' allegiance was secured and sometimes insecure\, we see how complex and fragile British sovereignty was a the far edge of its Indian Ocean world. It can also be argued that sovereignty's exercise depends in part on its own performance\, demonstrating how the portrayal of the British occupation to locals created opportunities for related provincial revolts.

How big is it? How old? What is our place in it?\n\nFor just as long\, we've been making up answers. Every generation was convinced it got it right\, and each in turn was proven wrong.\n\nStunning advances in modern cosmology finally appear to give definitive answers to some of the Big Questions. Professor McGaugh will explore the evidence supporting this picture\, and ask whether we have finally got it right. History - and quite a lot of contradictory evidence - suggest we may still have a lot to learn.\n\n \nAfter the lecture\, please join the Student Astronomical Society for planetarium shows and observatory open house\, 8 - 10 PM in Angell Hall.
