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:In the Garden Grows a Lump: Rare Books on the Picturesque
DESCRIPTION:\"In the Garden Grows a Lump\" is an exhibition and drawing colloquium organized around rare illustrated manuscripts on picturesque gardens. The basis of the project is a large collection of 18th and 19th century books on the picturesque held in the University of Michigan Library special collections\, which are rarely available for public view and have not had a prominent place in teaching or scholarship in the Department of Architecture. The exhibition will include 15-20 manuscripts\, a series of printed\, enlarged reproductions of drawings in the manuscripts to show detail and technique\, and a series of large-format drawings that interpret and analyze the historical source material. It will be accompanied by a colloquium with visiting scholars. Assistant Professor Andrew Holder organized the exhibition and designed the installation.\n\nSponsored by The Guido A. Binda Lecture and Exhibition Fund.

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:Simon & Garfunkel Retrospective by AJ Swearingen & J Beedle
DESCRIPTION:AJ Swearingen and Jonathan Beedle have been performing their tribute to the music of Simon & Garfunkel for more than a decade\, and by now a lot of their shows are sellouts. They met by chance in 1991 at a club in Bethlehem\, Pennsylvania\, and after a brief introduction they were harmonizing vocally as if they had always been performing together. AJ’s warm baritone and Jonathan’s soaring tenor combine to capture the essence and magic of the Simon & Garfunkel sound in the early years in Greenwich Village. With a quiet stage and an acoustic guitar\, AJ and Jonathan will bring back plenty of memories\, not only of the classic hits but also of the more obscure songs of Simon & Garfunkel. Relive the magic!
