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:Exhibition: Amie Siegel: Provenance

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.

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:Other:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Dennis J. Frost is Wen Chao Chen Associate Professor of East Asian Studies at Kalamazoo College and the author of Seeing Stars\, a history of sports celebrity in Japan. He is currently writing a book on the history of the Paralympic Movement and disability sports in Japan.\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe 1964 Tokyo Paralympics\, the first international event for disabled athletes held in Japan played a critical role in shaping how Japanese saw disability. Focusing on the origins and impact of the Tokyo Games\, I examine how the Paralympics sparked the development of more holistic approaches to rehabilitation in Japan and provided groundwork for Japan’s disability sports movement. Although the 1964 Games challenged longstanding Japanese social perceptions of disability\, their repeated emphasis on the rehabilitative role of sports also reinforced notions that disability was an individual\, medical issue\, establishing patterns of representation still apparent in coverage of disability sports today.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Iberian Conversos as Agents\, Victims and Thinkers of Empire
DESCRIPTION:As part of Professor’s Claude Stuczyniski’s research project on Conversos and ex-Converso 'New Jews' perceived as agents\, victims and thinkers of Early Modern Imperialism at the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, he will revisit Isaac Cardoso's major apologetic treatise \"Las Excelencias de los hebreos\" (Amsterdam\, 1679).  After surveying the ambivalent attitudes of other ex-Converso Jews living in the Sephardic diaspora in front of Iberian Early Modern imperialism\, he will stress the radicality of Cardoso's criticism against political dominion\, especially contemporary empires\, even rejecting the self-critical caveats endorsed by the School of Salamanca. Cardoso's staunch anti-imperialism will be explained on grounds of his apologetical and counter-cultural theological-political views of Judaism.  At the same time\, Professor Stuczynski will show that these views could easily undermine Cardoso's own efforts to depict the Jews as the most faithful and useful political subjects.  He will ask\, whether Cardoso was aware of this immanent political contradiction?  An answer to this question will enable look at Cardoso's case as a liminal barometer to check what pre-Emancipation Jews could and could not argue regarding contemporary empires.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CES Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Edmund Burke III\, professor emeritus and research professor of history\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\n\nSince the 1949 publication of Fernand Braudel’s landmark two-volume work\, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Phillip II\, research on the subject has grown considerably as scholars continue to unpack\, scrutinize\, and present alternatives to Braudel's master narrative of the “Great Sea.” Yet despite the growing interest in Mediterranean studies among specialists of the medieval and early modern periods\, scholars working on the modern Mediterranean are still few and far between. This workshop aims to address this gap in the scholarship in order to reconsider the “Mediterranean” as a possible unit of analysis for the modern period. What is Mediterranean modernity? What does it mean to be modern? Are we modern yet? Or is modernity a disruption of the Mediterranean framework? These are just a few of the questions that will form the basis of our conversation in this workshop. \n\nProfessor Edmund (“Terry”) Burke III is professor emeritus and research professor of history and the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Professor Burke has published extensively on modern Middle Eastern and North African history and is among the foremost scholars of the modern Mediterranean. His most recent publications include The Ethnographic State: France and the Invention of Moroccan Islam (UC Press\, 2014) and “Toward a Comprehensive History of the Modern Mediterranean\, 1750-1919” (Journal of World History\, 2012).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sally Fleming Master Class: Sr. Helen Prejean
DESCRIPTION:“Dead Man Walking\, the Journey Continues”\n\nSister Helen Prejean has been instrumental in sparking national dialogue on the death penalty and helping to shape the Catholic Church’s newly vigorous opposition to state executions. She travels around the world giving talks about her ministry. She considers herself a southern storyteller.\n\nSister Helen is a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph. She spent her first years with the Sisters teaching religion to junior high school students.  Realizing that being on the side of poor people is an essential part of the Gospel she moved into the St. Thomas Housing Project in New Orleans and began working at Hope House from 1981 – 1984.\n\nDuring this time\, she was asked to correspond with a death row inmate Patrick Sonnier at Angola. She agreed and became his spiritual adviser. After witnessing his execution\, she wrote a book about the experience. The result was Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States. It became a movie\, an opera and a play for high schools and colleges.\n\nSince 1984\, Sister Helen has divided her time between educating citizens about the death penalty and counseling individual death row prisoners. She has accompanied six men to their deaths. In doing so\, she began to suspect that some of those executed were not guilty. This realization inspired her second book\, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions\, which was released by Random House in December of 2004.\n\nSr. Helen is presently at work on another book - RIVER OF FIRE: MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Measurably evolving pathogens present an attractive system to study via sequence analysis. High mutation and recombination rates\, strong and diverse selective pressures\, and complex intra-host and population level dynamics create information-rich datasets. The ubiquitous use of next generation sequencing platforms for generating high-resolution data sets creates a catch-22 situation: we can fit ever more complex and biologically realistic models because of larger datasets\, but these models are increasingly more computationally demanding. I will discuss how we handle the challenge of large volumes of sequencing data in HIV-1 studies which seek to understand how the pathogen interacts with the host immune system (and escapes the action of potent responses)\, how viral population structure may affect the efforts to develop a functional cure\, and how molecular epidemiology is driving modern efforts at driving the HIV-1 epidemic to extinction.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:The talk centers on the “government of paradox” concept\, attributed to contemporary States\, such as Bolivia\, that claim a socialistic posture while at the same time\, adopt entangled relations with neo-extractive capitalism. Recent works on Indigenous Peoples\, the environment and neo-liberalism focus on deepening inequality\, tensions between government and Indigenous Peoples\, and the privatization of natural resources. Another factor mediating these conflictive relations has to do with the availability of international instruments and the juridical stand of such documents that focus on\, amidst others\, Indigenous Peoples’s rights (consultation\, informed consent\, co-participation pertaining ‘development plans\,’ etc.) Evo Morales\, an elected government for two periods\, has clear detractors amidst intellectuals and Indigenous peoples alike who question the State’s stand on neo-extractivism\, most agreeing that to decolonize\, a proposal submitted by both the State and Indigenous social movements\, is turning into an unfinished project. Thus\, the term neo-extractivism illustrates a sealed fate wherein Bolivia is seen as destined to implement inexorable forms of ecocidal exploitation of nature answering to never self-satisfied international markets’ high demands that eagerly pursue acquisition of oil\, gas\, hardwoods\, soybean mono-crop agriculture\, lithium\, gold\, and land tracks purchased or rented by transnational speculators. Within this systemic constraint\, the Morales government seems to ask for a bit more of the piece\, almost readjusting post-neoliberal neo-extractivism’s short-term benefits to improve the lives of its inhabitants. In the long-term\, though\, deforestation\, oil/gas exploration\, and GMO “Monsantization”\, the large global warming culprits\, will certainly deplete Bolivia’s fragile environment.\n\nNeo-extractivism could accelerate a regional integration that would allow Brazil (China\, India\, the so-called BRICS) to have\, in Bolivia\, a step stone to reach the Pacific. The Bolivian Amazon\, in particular\, is one scenario to observe: interlinking transnational and “paradoxical” interests\, the national government\, the environment\, recent international legal instruments that grant Indigenous Peoples consultation rights over their territories\, and NGOs.\n\nGuillermo Delgado-P. obtained his doctoral degree in Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin and his Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Religion\, Philosophy and Etnología Americana at the Universidad Católica de Chile (Santiago).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Mopboards and Meetinghouses: Charting Geographies of Labor in Federal New England\,\" Marla R. Miller\, University of Massachusetts Amherst
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this contemplation of women and work in Hadley\, Massachusetts\, Professor Miller will explore how the close observation of landscape and material culture illuminates the lives of working women in the decades after the American Revolution. How can microgeographies of working women's worlds\, in the workplace and in their communities\, illuminate the evolution of capitalism in rural America? How can baseboards\, soot stains\, floor plans and pew charts reveal how relationships between \"place\" (geography/landscape/material environments) and \"place\" (society/class/status) altered\, even in rural New England?\n\nMarla R.

SUMMARY:Community Service:Washtenaw ID Project Update
DESCRIPTION:Come join SISJ\, MIX\, and GRID for an active Town Hall Discussion about the Washtenaw ID Project. There will be opportunities to learn more and get involved. Motivated by values of inclusion that dictate embracing and officially acknowledging those county residents who lack photo identification cards\, the Washtenaw I.D. Task Force has come together to gather information on the nature of civic problems faced by those without ID\, evaluate solutions implemented in other jurisdictions\, and propose suitable methods for resolving identification issues in Washtenaw County. \"Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law\" Article 6\, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Washtenaw County residents who are unable to access Michigan State IDs are left in the shadows\; they fall into the margins of our community--unable to participate in and access the same services permitted to their neighbors. We are able to make Washtenaw County a more inclusive community by issuing a county photo ID card for any resident who wants one.  http://www.washtenawid.com/home

SUMMARY:Performance:Anne Hills
DESCRIPTION:Anne Hills has\, in the words of the Chicago Tribune\, \"one of the most glorious voices in all of contemporary folk music\,\" and she's been called the heir apparent to Judy Collins. Anne has been a folk-music insitution for more than three decades now with her soaring\, crystal-clear soprano and her innovative original songs. She came of age as part of Chicago's folk scene\, and she has never stopped experimenting and searching: among her many collaborations are those with jazz musicians and with theatrical presenters. Anne's latest album\, \"The Things I Notice Now\,\" is a tribute to Tom Paxton\, who in turn has said\, \"Anne Hills is such an exquisite singer that it’s understandable that people might be swept up in the pure beauty of her voice and thereby overlook her writing. That would be a mistake. For me\, Anne’s writing\, in songs like ”˜Follow That Road’ and many others\, is as direct\, melodic and deep as any work being done today.\"
