SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Back Home in Earth’s Garden: Clay & Fibers
DESCRIPTION:Susan Sutherland Barnes has been exploring patterns in nature and the combining of clay and fibers for over thirty years. Her early background\, in painting and printmaking and later a BFA in fibers from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame\, Indiana\, has fostered a unique perspective on working with clay. In this recent body of work\, she continues to follow her interest in the leaf as an iconic motif and incorporates these explorations in a new group of pieces combining round reed basketry and stoneware. Sutherland Barnes recently returned to her home state of Michigan after twenty years away and now maintains a clay and fibers studio in Paw Paw\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Florilegium: Color Photography
DESCRIPTION:Lansing\, Michigan artist Kim Kauffman shares her appreciation of the botanical world through photo collages of subjects from gardens. She finds her garden the perfect place to experience the natural world on a daily basis and believes that a connection with this world is critically important in our urban lives. She creates a surreal visual world based upon an exploration of light\, color\, texture and scale. These superbly sharp and sensuously soft images challenge us to reimagine our natural world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Migration: Paper\, Graphite & Collage
DESCRIPTION:Print maker and installation artist Yoriko Hirose Cronin has always been interested in birds: their calls\, flight habits\, and especially their migration patterns. She begins her work with an analysis of migration flight. Circles signify orbits\, and solid dots are stars\, constellations\, and the moon in the night sky. Cronin received her BFA from U-M and MFA from Wayne State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Performance:From Lake to Sea: U-M Life Sciences Orchestra concert
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Life Sciences Orchestra will take its audience on a musical journey across the waves\, with a free concert on Sunday\, January 19\, 2014. \n\nThe performance will begin at 4 p.m. at U-M’s famed Hill Auditorium at 825 N. University Ave. in Ann Arbor. It is open to the public with general admission seating. No tickets are required. A pre-concert lecture will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the lower level of the building.\n\nThe LSO -- made up of doctors\, scientists and others -- will include three works linked by water: Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D major\, Op. 73\, Felix Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage\, and Claude Debussy’s La Mer. \n\nBrahms composed the symphony on the shores of an Austrian lake called the Worthersee\, and the pastoral mood evokes the peaceful waters and surroundings. The symphony includes the melody now known as “Brahms’ Lullaby”. \n\nMendelssohn’s nautical-themed overture was inspired by seafaring poems of Goethe\, while Debussy’s collection of three symphonic sketches call on the orchestra to illustrate the leaping waves and swirling winds of the ocean.\n\nThe LSO will be led by music director Adrian Slywotzky\, a graduate student in the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance’s nationally known orchestral conducting program. Slywotzky comes to the LSO from another ensemble made up of medical and science professionals and students: the Yale Medical Symphony Orchestra. \n\nThe LSO and YMSO are part of a growing trend of orchestras around the nation formed by amateur musicians who work at major academic medical centers. Others include the Detroit Medical Orchestra\, the Duke Medicine Orchestra\, the Texas Medical Orchestra in Houston\, the Central Texas Medical Orchestra in Austin\, the Health Sciences Center Orchestra of the University of New Mexico\, and the Longwood Symphony Orchestra in Boston. \n\nThis is the first concert of the LSO’s 14th season\; it will be introduced by Lester Monts\, Ph.D.\, U-M Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Professor of Music.\nThe next LSO concert will be Sunday\, April 27\, also at 4 p.m. at Hill Auditorium. \n\nThe LSO is made up of medical\, health and science faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from throughout U-M. The orchestra is part of the Gifts of Art program\, which brings the world of art and music to the U-M Health System. The LSO gives members an outlet for their musical talents and a chance to interact with one another across academic disciplines and professions. Founded by students and staff from the U-M Health System\, the orchestra made its concert debut in January 2001. \n\nFor more information on the concert or the LSO\, visit www.umich.edu/~lsorch or www.facebook.com/umlso\, send e-mail to orchestra@umich.edu\, or call (734) 936-ARTS.\n\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Peter Bradley Adams
DESCRIPTION:Peter Bradley Adams began his musical journey in Birmingham\, Alabama\, at age five\, when he discovered the Beatles' \"Sgt. Pepper: album in his father’s record collection. After wearing the record out on his aqua green playschool record player\, Peter went on to create his own house music\, setting up plastic trash cans and using pencils as drumsticks. Eventually his grandfather purchased real drum sticks to replace the pencils and a true musician was born. The grandfather had been a jazz clarinetist in big bands during the time of Benny Goodman and Pete Fountain. Peter remembers lying under his grandfather’s piano listening to him play. \nPeter went on to earn a B.A. and Master's Degree in composition and eventually wound up in Los Angeles\, where he worked as a freelance film and TV composer. In 2000\, he co-founded the duo Eastmountainsouth\, and in 2002 they were signed by Robbie Robertson (of The Band) to DreamWorks Records. Now based in Nashville\, he has since released four solo albums. When asked about the progression from his first release\, \"Gather Up\,\" to the current \"Between Us\,\" he says\, \"I think I've been progressively finding my voice\, both as a songwriter and a singer\; and although I feel like I'm finally starting to hit my stride\, there's still this continual dissatisfaction ... still a feeling that I haven't found it yet.\"
