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:Other:Gifts of Art presents Bird Pants & Other Formal Forest Wear
DESCRIPTION:Missy Orge creates work that is evocative of scientific curiosities and mounted butterflies\, with a humor that sneaks up and inspires a closer look. Her current work focuses on birdpants and formal wear of the forest – tiny pants for birds and frogs\, and dapper suits for squirrels that “could be for backyard visitors who are fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.” She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce her highly detailed – and decidedly nontraditional – confections. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Changing Light: Digital Photography by
DESCRIPTION:After a forty-year career as a clinical psychologist\, Lansing\, Michigan artist Arnold Berkman retired in order to pursue a career as a fine arts photographer. Berkman's photography has a painterly quality due to his use of light. True to the definition of photography\, he sees his work as writing\, drawing or painting with light\, transforming the elements of subject\, color and shape into compositions. Appreciating that a photograph captures a fleeting moment in time\, he uses light to create emotional moods and bring his images to life.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Vietnamerica: Pop-Up Exhibition by GB Tran
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to introduce our exciting new Pop-Up exhibition series in the Osterman Common Room (#1022) featuring short (approx. 2 weeks) exhibitions of innovative\, thought-provoking work by artists from around the country. The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

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: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\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 Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Paramodel
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will present Paramodel\, an art collaborative established by two contemporary Japanese artists\, Yasuhiko Hayashi (born 1971) and Yûsuke Nakano (born 1976)\, in Osaka in 2001. Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Credit Union and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Which is 'White' and Which 'Colored'?
DESCRIPTION:Some of the writings and interviews of Puerto Rican migrants settling in New York City during the interwar years of early twentieth century betray a sort of “cognitive dissonance”. This was particularly evident among those “white” migrants who struggled to explain their experiences with discrimination at the hands of other “white” New Yorkers. It seems they were registering a flux between the discourses of race and/or color circulating on the island-archipelago\, and the ones they now encountered in the metropolis. There\, the impulse against “racial amalgamation” had acquired some relatively fixed dimensions\, with particular consequences for those whose Africanity was apparent or assumed. Growing out of the nexus between whiteness and politics\, it matured into the “color-line”: a spatialization of race\, labor\, residence and crime which became synonymous with the very landscapes of cities like New York.  For the waves of persons crowding its streets from the U.S. South and the Caribbean in the years after the First World War\, this historical structure etched itself into their everyday lives. Among those Puerto Ricans residing in the area of Downtown Brooklyn at this time\, it distributed them into clusters of relative color and occupational homogeneity\, within and adjacent to those areas with the highest rates of arrest in the city. But the “dissonance” that this experience produced was not limited to a handful of the migrants. It is also apparent in those sources that contain narratives about or representations of race and/or color difference among those migrants. At first glance\, these are often contradictory and incompatible\, but a closer look suggests these discrepancies should be read as registers of the actual contingencies and the constants of that experience.\n\nPeter L. Carlo Becerra is an adjunct professor at the Sociology and Anthropology Department at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras. He is a graduate of the Doctoral Program in Sociology at SUNY-Binghamton\, where he studied with Terence K. Hopkins\, Kelvin Santiago-Valles\, and Dale W. Tomich. He is a Bronx born and raised Nuyorican who has resided in the Puerto Rican archipelago for well over a decade\, along with his two children. He is also a graduate of Lehman College-CUNY\, and the public high schools of New York City.  His ruminations on the entangled character of race and/or color\, space\, labor\, crime\, and politics in historic New York\, are not just academic fare. They are constructs of the “conceptual evidence” of his experiences. He is also fond of designing and teaching courses in sociological method. \n\nThis event sponsored by the Latina/o Studies Program\, the Department of American Culture\, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, The Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, and the National Center for Institutional Diversity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Journey to the East
DESCRIPTION:In the West\, we are somewhat familiar with Chinese opera and acrobatic troupes. But what about contemporary Chinese theatre and its makers? How do we access the plays that entertain and touch audiences in the East? And how can we develop further cultural dialogue?\n\nThis talk will start with an outline of theatre in London and how this has engaged with China. Then the speaker will present a snapshot of the major theatrical centers in mainland China\, in Beijing and Shanghai\, how they have embraced Western forms\, and yet how each city differs in approach. There will also be a look at the theatre of Hong Kong\, which is very much a hybrid of East meets West.\n\nTo aid our understanding\, we can explore how the theatre being produced in the East is (and is not) comparable to Broadway\, Off-Broadway and the fringe theatre of the West. We will then examine the barriers and opportunities for creating work in China\, from cultural contexts to issues of translation\, as well as the potential to be able to bring exciting\, canonical\, modern Chinese plays to the West.\n\nTheatre director Jonathan Man\, of Hong Kong Chinese descent and born & bred in the U.K.\, has been working on projects in China and Hong Kong the past three years\, and will be sharing his creative journey. He has directed a variety of shows on different scales\, including “Monkey!” - based on the classic novel “Journey to the West”\, and \"wAve\" - a Korean American re-imagining of the \"Medea\" myth. He is the first British director to have been programmed for the Beijing International Fringe Festival\, and he has worked on two Shakespeare productions in Shanghai.\n\nHe is now looking to create ambitious theatre productions in the U.K. and the U.S. to platform the Chinese contemporary canon\, as well as developing innovative theatre for audiences in China & Hong Kong. His work draws from the East and the West\, and his cultural background has allowed him to gain a unique insight into the Chinese theatrical landscape.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Global Women Write In
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Dialogues in Feminism\, Technology & Culture (a DOCC) course co-taught by Lisa Nakamura and Irina Aristarkhova\, with support from the Third Century Initiative Grant\, U-M.\n\nThe Global Women Write In #GWWI is an virtual event is designed to encourage internet users to write entries about women from around the world into Wikipedia and to improve existing entries on these topics. Why “global women”? If you’ve ever tried doing a Wikipedia search for important women theorists around the world\, you might be surprised to note how short the entries are\, particularly on their work and their ideas (for example: Chandra Talpade Mohanty\, Gayatri Spivak\, bell hooks\, Gloria Anzaldua\, Vandana Shiva\, and Sara Ahmed). Many important women of color\, such as Oyeronke Oyewumi\, lack entries or stubs in Wikipedia. Additionally\, coverage of international events involving women is brief or nonexistent (for example: the 1929 Aba Women’s Riots in Nigeria\; Domitila Barrios de Chúngara\; and Angkatan Wanita Sedar or “Force of Awakened Women\,” an important feminist group in Malaysian history).\n\nThese gaps in Wikipedia’s knowledge base are striking and important\, especially since Wikipedia is now the most commonly referenced encyclopedia globally. These gaps–particularly the gender gap–have been subject to study. According to the Wikimedia Wikipedia’s Editor’s Survey of 2011\, “If there is a typical Wikipedia editor\, he has a college degree\, is 30-years-old\, is computer savvy but not necessarily a programmer\, doesn't actually spend much time playing games\, and lives in US or Europe.”\n\nThe Global Women Write In aims to encourage new people to become Wikipedia editors\, to provide support for new editors\, and to develop best practices for rewriting Wikipedia. During our event\, we encourage editors to draw on their knowledge and experience to contribute entries and information on women around the world to Wikipedia.\n\nParticipants should sign up for a Wikipedia account before the workshop and bring their computers and a research paper they are working on (for the citations) to the workshop. (Wikipedia prevents mass signups from the same IP address a the same time).\n\nJoin us for videotaped student-lead dialogue sessions with invited speakers that build on academic and creative resources for feminist studies of technology and culture. Learn from the interactive experience of not just reading and answering questions\, or communicating within our class community\, but by being directly exposed to wider national scholarly and creative community. Create your own content through Wikipedia editing\, online video production\, game-making\, and vernacular animation practices like BitStrips and Extranormal. Become more engaged with technology and STEM fields through critical feminist lens\, and explore the possibilities and limits of interactive distributed pedagogy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"One of a Kind\"
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Koons’s self-professed pursuit of perfection is now legendary. But just what kind of perfection is at stake seems to keep changing. And just how hyperbolically high that level of perfection is today is not widely appreciated—least of all in the realm of technology and fabrication. Indeed\, over the course of his career\, Koons has increasingly amped up the technological ambition and complexity of his production\, so that his fabrication standards now may easily—and incredibly—exceed those of advanced industry\, whether aerospace or military. Today\, nearly one hundred and fifty employees spend countless man-hours powering the Koons studio: researching\, coding\, rendering\, painting\, polishing. Yet both the effort and the outcome remain mysterious\, shrouded in secrecy and cloaked by impossibly shiny surfaces and impeccably applied paint. What type of thing\, exactly\, is Koons making now?\n\nThis talk explores the ambitious fabrication technologies behind Koons’s work\, which are at the forefront of new kinds of industrial and digital production—and which are redefining the very concepts of standardization and customization\, likeness and singularity.\n\nMichelle Kuo is the editor in chief of Artforum

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by “Gulliver’s Travels\,” the fantasy-adventure Castle in the Sky (1986) was Hayao Miyazaki‘s third feature\, and helped to establish his reputation as a visionary in both Japan and America. The orphan Sheeta inherited a mysterious crystal that links her to the legendary sky-kingdom of Laputa. With the help of resourceful Pazu and a rollicking band of sky pirates\, she makes her way to the ruins of the once-great civilization. Sheeta and Pazu must outwit the evil Muska\, who plans to use Laputa’s science to make himself ruler of the world. Castle echoes elements in Myazaki’s earlier Nausicaä\, and anticipates imagery in his later films\, from My Neighbor Totoro to Spirited Away. The exciting flying sequences\, appealing characters\, and fantastic vision of a steam-powered future Jules Verne might have imagined make Castle in the Sky a must-have for fans of Japanese and Western animation.\n\nThis Fall\, in partnership with The State Theatre\, CJS celebrates some of the greatest and most influential films of all time from the legendary Japanese animation team at Studio Ghibli.\n\nDirected by Hayao Miyazaki.\n1986. 124 minutes. Rated PG. Japanese with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Zook-Hoag Duo – Toward the Sea
DESCRIPTION:The Guild is delighted to open the season at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, October 22\, 2014\, with flutist Jeffery Zook and guitarist Bret Hoag\, who will present a collection of repertoire from around the world in a concert titled Toward the Sea. Jeff and Bret\, who began their collaboration in 2010\, have performed throughout the midwest to critical acclaim. As Chris Felcyn from Detroit’s WRCJ has said about this Duo:  “It’s astonishing to hear so much music come out of such a small ensemble\, but then you realize the caliber of the musicians you’re listening to with Bret Hoag and Jeff Zook\, and you just start smiling.”  Come hear this duo as they explore fresh new sounds for flute and guitar. In addition to performing new music for flute and guitar\, Jeff and Bret are both on faculty of Oakland University\, where they hope to inspire the next generation of chamber musicians.  The concert is generously sponsored by Ms. Cecilia Benner\, and the elegant dessert table is sponsored by UM-Dearborn Chancellor Daniel Little and Dr. Bernadette Lintz.\n\nAll Fair Lane Music Guild concerts are held at the Henry Ford Estate – Fair Lane.  (The Henry Ford Estate is currently closed for renovations\, but thanks to the generosity of the Historic Ford Estates and the University of Michigan-Dearborn\, the Guild is being allowed to use the Pool Room for these concerts.)  Tickets are $15/person\, $14 for senior citizens and $9 for students.  Free lighted parking.  Doors open at 7 p.m.  For more information about season tickets or individual concert ticket sales\, please call the Fair Lane Music Guild at (313) 593-5330\, or go to http://flmg.umd.umich.edu/
