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:Heart & Home: Primitive Painting
DESCRIPTION:The art of Primitive Americana comes naturally to Sandra Somers who was born and raised in a small midwestern town \"full of large old houses\, horse barns and lush farmland within roller skating range.\" Her primitive art\, created using acrylics\, depicts an active\, bustling world with interesting architecture that time has somehow overlooked. Nationally recognized museums\, historic townships and individual collectors have commissioned her work\, including the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. Somers is presently living and working in a 1860s farmhouse homestead with restored outbuildings\, including a chicken coop used as a showroom studio.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Illuminations: Painting the Night with Light
DESCRIPTION:When the sun leaves the sky\, Darlene Yeager-Torre gathers flashlights\, camera and tripod and ventures into the night to create luminous landscape photographs by using extremely long exposures (45 seconds to 1 hour). After a career of teaching art\, with degrees from Edgecliff College and Xavier University in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, she began exploring her own artistic vision. A presentation on night photography piqued her curiosity about that genre and sent her on the adventures that now fill her evenings. Despite the difficulty of long exposure photography\, the resulting\, glowing images fuel her creativity and rejuvenate her spirit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Amie Siegel: Provenance
DESCRIPTION:Amie Siegel’s Provenance traces in reverse the global trade in furniture from the Indian city of Chandigarh. Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy.  \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\, and Institute for the Humanities.

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:Ray Bonneville
DESCRIPTION:Ray Bonneville is a poet of the demimonde who didn’t write his first song until his early 40s\, some 20 years after he started performing. But with a style that sometimes draws comparisons to JJ Cale and Daniel Lanois\, this blues-influenced\, New Orleans-inspired “song and groove man\,” as he’s been so aptly described\, luckily found his rightful calling. Born in Quebec\, he moved to Boston with his family when he was 12. He served a year in Vietnam as a Marine\, struggled with and overcame drug addiction\, earned a pilot’s license in Colorado\, then moved to Alaska\, then Seattle\, and Paris and New Orleans. But it took a close call while piloting a seaplane across the Canadian wilderness to make him decide it was time to get busy writing songs–gritty narratives inspired by a lifetime of hard-won knowledge set against his soulful guitar and harmonica playing. \"Easy Gone\,\" Ray’s fourth album for Red House Records\, takes listeners to some of the dark spaces and exotic places Bonneville has gone on his own travels. An Austin resident since 2006\, Ray still puts the rhythms and soul of New Orleans into much of his music. His songs carry a groove and momentum that’s uniquely his–and will always be a part of him\, no matter where he roams.
