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: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:Performance:Liz Story
DESCRIPTION:A native of California\, Liz Story began her musical training as a young child\, mastering Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 11 by the age of 11. When her family moved to Germany during her teens\, she added languages\, philosophy\, and poetry to her studies. On her return to the United States\, Liz continued her formal piano studies at the Juilliard School of Music and also enrolled at Hunter College. After hearing the jazz pianist Bill Evans one night at the Bottom Line in New York City\, she decided to learn jazz piano–and after moving back to Southern California and taking a job playing piano in a restaurant\, she was suddenly thrust into improvisations when she discovered that the piano she was to perform on had no stand for her sheet music. Over several months\, these improvisations developed into compositions. When Will Ackerman\, founder of the influential Windham Hill label\, heard a tape of those\, he signed her to record her 1983 debut album “Solid Colors.\" Liz has since released a dozen albums that havehighlighted her classical piano background\, fused with a wide range of styles embracing jazz\, folk\, pop\, and impressionistic music. An evening with Liz Story is meditative\, spiritual\, even profound\, and we're excited to welcome her back to The Ark for the first time in many years.
