SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: The International Year of Crystallography
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCrystallography is the branch of science concerned with the structure and properties of crystals. Come and see crystals from the Museum of Natural History\, books from the Library's collection\, and displays of the equipment used at the X-Ray Crystallography Lab.\n\nUNESCO chose 2014 as the International year of Crystallography because it commemorates two important anniversaries in the study of matter: the centennial of X-ray diffraction\, and the 400th anniversary of Kepler’s observation in 1611 of the symmetrical form of ice crystals. Both breakthroughs led to subsequent studies in the role of symmetry in matter and the nature of crystalline material. U-M continues this investigation today.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Artistic Impositions in the Photographic Portrait
DESCRIPTION:Susan Sontag claimed that photographs “owe their existence to a loose cooperation (quasi-magical\, quasi-accidental) between photographer and subject.” Any photographic portrait marks an encounter between the person executing the image and the person posing for it. The sixteen photographs included in this exhibition speak to an especially charged collaboration between photographer and model in that they are all portraits of artists.\n\nWhen a photographer is faced with a subject who is so thoroughly invested in artistic representation\, how might this impact his or her own photographic aesthetic? In this suite of remarkable photographs\, we witness different manifestations of this phenomenon at work. For example\, we see results ranging from the surreal to the seemingly straightforward through encounters between Salvador Dalí and Philippe Halsman\; Frida Kahlo and Manuel Álvarez Bravo\; and Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. In other cases the photographer intentionally frames the photographic subject alongside the artist’s own work of art so that they become compelling participants in their own painted or sculptural compositions.\n\nThis exhibition invites viewers to consider how the difficult task of representing another artist is productively accomplished through the collaborative aesthetic resonances discernable between model and photographer in these portraits.     \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Three Michigan Architects: Part 3—George Brigham
DESCRIPTION:Three Michigan Architects: Part 3—George Brigham is the last in a series of three consecutive exhibitions. Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2014) and Part 2\, the work of Robert Metcalf (April 5–July 13\, 2014). The series will culminate on October 5\, 2014 with a symposium that will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s. Symposium participants include UMMA Director Joseph Rosa\, Head of the University Archives Program at the Bentley Historical Library Nancy Bartlett\, Bentley Associate Archivist and Head of Digital Curation Services Nancy Deromedi\, and Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning faculty Claire Zimmerman\, Greg Saldaña\, Craig Borum\, and Robert Beckley.\n\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, which showcases the renowned and diverse collections of the University of Michigan. This series inaugurates UMMA’s collaboration with the Bentley Historical Library\, and is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Lead support for Three Michigan Architects is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice President for Research.

SUMMARY:Performance:Al Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Al Stewart was born in Glasgow\, Scotland\, in 1945\, and moved with his family to Bournemouth\, a seaside town in the south of England\, at an early age.A strong dose of Bob Dylan’s original songs shifted his focus from instrumentalist to lyricist and vocalist. In 1965\, Al moved to London and became the emcee at the famed Les Cousins folk club\, rubbing shoulders with young talents like Paul Simon\, Ralph McTell\, Bert Jansch\, and Cat Stevens. After several albums written in autobiographical mode\, Al shifted his lyrical gaze outward\, into history\, literature and current events\, an approach debuted on 1973’s \"Past\, Present & Future.\" Al’s next album exploded in America: \"Year of the Cat\,\" released in 1976\, spawned two Top 20 hits (the title song and “On the Border”)\, and itself became a million-selling record. After Al relocated to California\, where he still resides\, his next album\, 1978’s \"Time Passages\,\" repeated the success of its predecessor\, selling another million copies and spinning off the Top 10 title track and Top 30 single\, “Song on the Radio.” In the early 1990s\, Al returned to his folk roots with \"Famous Last Words\,\" which utilized acoustic instrumentation and traditional folk and classical styles. He's never stopped creating completely original music: \"Down in the Cellar\" (2000)\, was a concept album\, incorporating Al’s knowledge of fine wines into his you-are-there songs of personal and historical vignettes. Al makes a rare Michigan appearance with \"A Beach Full of Shells\,\" his first CD for the Appleseed label\, which finds him at the peak of his songwriting powers\, still able to conjure other times and distant places with well-chosen words and evocative music.\n
