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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
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:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection
DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer.    \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Shale Public Finance:  Oil and gas development and local governments
DESCRIPTION:Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, Betty Ford Classroom (1110)\, Weill Hall\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n\n11:30am-1:00pm (pizza provided)\n \nFree and open to the public.\n \nDaniel Raimi\, Associate in Research\, Duke University Energy Institute\n \nSponsored by:\nCenter for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n \nDescription: Oil and gas development has increased substantially in the United States over the past decade\, largely associated with shale resources. This increase has important implications for local government’s financial capacity to provide quality services to citizens. This talk will provide an overview of the major revenues and service demands (i.e.\, costs) associated with new oil and gas development for local governments\, along with the net fiscal impact to date for county and municipal governments across ten oil and gas plays in eight states: Arkansas\, Colorado\, Louisiana\, Montana\, North Dakota\, Pennsylvania\, Texas\, and Wyoming. Research was conducted over the previous year through on-site structured interviews with over 100 local officials\, analysis of state and local revenue policies\, and analysis of local government financial data.\n\n\nDaniel Raimi is an Associate in Research at the Duke University Energy Initiative. He works on a range of energy policy issues including the public finance effects of unconventional oil and gas production\, state fiscal policy design for oil and gas production\, the climate implications of shale gas development\, and federal climate policy design. He has published in academic journals including Science\, Environmental Science and Technology\, and Journal of Economic Perspectives\, and made numerous presentations for policymakers\, industry and other stakeholders around the United States. He received his master’s degree in public policy from Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy and his bachelor’s degree in music from Wesleyan University. \n\nCo-Sponsors:  Energy Institute\; Environmental Law and Policy Program\; Erb Institute\; Program in the Environment\n \nFor more information contact Bonnie Roberts at  fischerb@umich.edu or 734-647-4091\,   or visit our website at www.closup.umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Class Education Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:During the Mao era\, cultural workers in communities all over the People’s Republic of China created political exhibitions. These exhibitions were part of a larger effort to rewrite local experience\, and the local landscape\, in the universal language of Chinese Marxism and in the artistic style of socialist realism. Local exhibitions were one concrete form of cultural work that used tangible local detail—local speech\, local diet\, local forms of agriculture or industrial production—to show that local lives and local experiences conformed to the truths of Marxism\, and to the universal history of the Chinese nation.\n\nIn Gejiu\, a tin-mining town in southern Yunnan\, cultural workers in the 1970s created an Exhibition on the History of Class Struggle in the Gejiu Tin Mines and a Recollect Bitterness Center. These joint exhibitions became the premier “classrooms” for class education in Yunnan province\, instructing as many as a thousand visitors a day. During the 1950s\, cultural workers in Gejiu had authenticated the local truth of Chinese Marxist history by displaying personal stories of capitalist exploitation\, rags worn by miners in the inhumane “old society\,” and drawings of worker uprisings. The exhibitions they created during the Cultural Revolution added historical reenactment as a new technique of political instruction. Historical reenactment primarily took the form of yiku (“recollecting bitterness”)\, narratives about oppression and liberation recited by the elderly. The practice of yiku invoked the older\, powerful practice of suku (“venting grievances”)\, a method of class struggle during the land reforms of the 1940s and 1950s. Written renditions and live performances of yiku featured prominently in class education exhibitions\, amplified by artwork and the display of pre-liberation artifacts. This historical reenactment enjoined visitors to “learn through experience” (tihui) the exploitation\, oppression\, revolt\, and liberation of the Chinese proletariat. The Recollect Bitterness Center even recreated the very time and space of the narrated events. Crawling through an old mine shaft and emerging upright into the light\, visitors to the Center performed the metaphorical choreography of emancipation and its structure of historical memory. This instilment of perceptual knowledge about the nature of classes and the meaning of proletarian revolution produced an embodied understanding of Chinese Marxist history\, interpolated new political subjects\, and incited socialist construction. \n\nLara Kusnetzky is a lecturer in the Department of Classical and Modern Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures at Wayne State University. She has also previously taught at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the City University of New York (CUNY).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alice Walker Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Center for the Education of Women (CEW) will bring Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and activist\, Alice Walker\, to Hill Auditorium to deliver the 20th annual Zora Neale Hurston Lecture. As the 2014 guest lecturer\, Ms. Walker will explore social justice issues from her unique womanist and black feminist perspective. Bringing scholarship and activism together\, Ms. Walker will also reflect on the complimentary missions of DAAS and CEW.\n\nThe Zora Neale Hurston Lecture at the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies honors Hurston\, the most prolific African-American woman writer of her time\, who brought to life the power\, richness and complexity of black cultures for many readers.  \n\nAlice Walker is a internationally celebrated award-winning author\, poet and activist whose books include seven novels\, four collections of short stories\, four children’s books\, and volumes of essays and poetry. Her work has been translated into more than two dozen languages\, and her books have sold more than fifteen million copies. Walker is best known for The Color Purple\, the 1983 novel for which she won the Pulitzer Prize—the first African American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction\, though (in her opinion) not the first African American woman to deserve it.\n\nAlong with the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award\, Walker’s awards and fellowships include a Guggenheim Fellowship and artist-in-residence at Yaddo and the McDowell Colony. In 2006\, she was honored as one of the inaugural inductees into the California Hall of Fame. In 2007\, her archives were opened to the public at Emory University. In 2010 she presented the keynote address at The 11th Annual Steve Biko Lecture at the University of Cape Town\, Cape Town\, South Africa\, and was awarded the Lennon/Ono Peace Grant in Reykjavik\, Iceland.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is requested here:\n\nhttp://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/alice-walker-presented-department-afroamerican-and-african-studies-and-center-education-w\n\nAdditional funding for this event was provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ann and Tony Tai Visit China
DESCRIPTION:In September 2013\, Ann and Tony Tai toured China. The places they visited are Beijing\, Xian\, Chungqing\, Yichang\, Shanghai\, Guilin and Hong Kong. A Yangtze River cruise was also part of the trip. They will share photographs of the landmarks\, historical artifacts\, customs and street scenes that are unique to each locale. Chinese civilization has lasted for at least 5000 years. Its history is full of upheaval and revolutions\, periods of golden ages and decline. Today\, modern China inspires wonder at how fast its people and government are making this vast country an economic and cultural powerhouse. \n\nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/394

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series
DESCRIPTION:As the Empire of the Sun crumbles upon itself and a rain of firebombs falls upon Japan\, the final death march of a nation is echoed in millions of smaller tragedies. This is the story of Seita and his younger sister Setsuko\, two children born at the wrong time\, in the wrong place\, and now cast adrift in a world that lacks not the care to shelter them\, but simply the resources. Forced to fend for themselves in the aftermath of fires that swept entire cities from the face of the earth\, their doomed struggle is both a tribute to the human spirit and the stuff of nightmares. Beautiful\, yet at times brutal and horrifying.\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 Isao Takahata.\n1988. 89 minutes. Not rated. Japanese with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Music Education Carrigan Lecture Series: Timothy S. Brophy
DESCRIPTION:“Arts Assessment Rising: Music Assessment Systems in the United States”\n\nAccountability of student learning is an increasing expectation in the arts\, and music is no exception. While no music assessment system in any state is linked to a formal accountability system yet\, this is predicted to change as federal policy continues to require that evidence of student growth be included as a significant part of teacher evaluation. In this talk\, Brophy will overview current policy that has reinvigorated interest in assessment of music learning\, the development of state and national music assessment systems\, present recommended design characteristics of high-quality music assessments\, and discuss measurement issues that must be addressed to ensure that assessment results are appropriate for their intended uses.
