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:Diary of a Teenage Girl: Pop-Up Exhibition by Phoebe Gloeckner
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. This\, our second Pop-Up of the semester\, features artwork from the graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by U-M's Phoebe Gloeckner.\n\nAbout Diary of a Teenage Girl:\n\nSo begins the wrenching diary of Minnie Goetze\, a fifteen-year-old girl longing for love and acceptance and struggling with her own precocious sexuality. Minnie hates school and she wants to be an artist\, or maybe a speleologist\, or a bartender. She sleeps with her mother's boyfriend\, and yet is too shy to talk with boys at school. She forges her way through adolescence\, unsupervised and unguided\, defenseless\, and yet fearless.\n\nThe story unfolds in the libertine atmosphere of the 1970s San Francisco\, but the significance of Minnie's effort to understand herself and her world is universal. This is the story of an adolescent troubled by the discontinuity between what she thinks and feels and what she observes in those around her. The Diary of a Teenage Girl offers a searing comment on adult society as seen though the eyes of a young woman on the verge of joining it.\n\nIn this unusual novel\, artist and writer Phoebe Gloeckner presents a pivotal year in a girl's life\, recounted in diary pages and illustrations\, with full narrative sequences in comics form.\n\nPhoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book\, The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2002)\, was praised as \"one of the most brutally honest\, shocking\, tender\, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.\" Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story\, Minnie’s Third Love (published in A Child’s Life and Other Stories) one of the “comicbook masterpieces of all time.”\n\nHer books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.\n\nIn 2008\, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juárez\, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3\,200+ homicides in 2010)\, Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family\, the case of their daughter’s murder\, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.\n\nGloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel- Diary is a hybrid of prose and graphic novel\, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio\, motion\, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic “multi-touch” book offering a “seamless” reading experience\, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole\, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an “enhanced” novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Eleven Years: An Exhibition by Jen Davis
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition represents a series of self- portraits created over eleven years\, chronicling the artist’s relationship to her body and weight\, reconsidering ideas of body image\, particularly as they related to societal standards of beauty\, and how these standards affected her life.  The process of making the photographs allowed her to explore these issues by putting herself in front of the camera …as a way to connect\, to figure out what and how to communicate\, to engage more fully\, and move forward.\n\nJen Davis is a photographer whose startlingly intimate self- portraits possess the luminosity of 17th century Dutch painting as well as the raw vulnerability of a great Cassavetes screen heroine. They are disarming in their complete unaffectedness\, at once lyrical and documentary\, leaving us fully awake\, aware of every detail and gesture in this deeply private world of the artist as subject. Each image seems to expect us knowingly\, beckoning us yet completely self-contained. The viewer is startled first then contemplative\, inevitably drawn further into one’s own process of self –examination. Davis’s images offer the gaze between two rooms –public and private\, quite mindfully erasing the line between them\, leaving us to ponder this lingering trace\, and to wonder.\n\nJen Davis is a New York based photographer. She received an MFA from Yale University in 2008\, and BFA from Columbia College Chicago in 2002. Davis’ work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2013. Her first monograph titled Eleven Years\, published by Kehrer Verlag (Germany) was released in the Spring of 2014 accompanied by her first solo show in New York City at ClampArt. Davis is represented by Lee Marks Fine Art\, Shelbyville\, IN and ClampArt\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME: JAZZ HISTORY IN 50 MINUTES OR LESS
DESCRIPTION:The lecture title is an aping to Cosmologist Stephen Hawking’s book on the universe.  It aspires\, albeit tongue and cheek\, to express the epic nature that jazz aficionados feel toward the art form.  Furthermore\, the term “time” has two meanings in jazz vernacular:  (1) It is a reference to the passing of historical time and (2) to the feel of the music\, which musicians call time-feel.  This lecture will trace the development of jazz from its early roots to current day with short musical examples. \n\nAndrew Bishop is a versatile multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, improviser\, educator\, and scholar comfortable in many musical idioms. who maintains an international career.\n\nPlease check the OLLI web site for additional lectures in the series \"American Music: How Did We Get Here?\" Thursdays\, October 30 - December 11.

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.

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:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Emily Brink\, CJS Visiting Scholar\, University of Michigan\n\nEmily Eastgate Brink received her PhD in Art History from Stanford University and is a Visiting Scholar with the Center for Japanese Studies.  Her work addresses issues of materiality and globalization in nineteenth-century European art\, with an emphasis on the cultural exchange between France and Japan.\n\nAbstract: This talk will explore the early interpretation and popularity of Hokusai’s Manga in nineteenth-century France.  A multi-volume series of print illustrations\, the Manga appealed to French audiences as both a collectible and visual encyclopedia of Japan’s distant land and foreign culture.   This paper will focus on the material specificity of the Manga as an informational\, illustrated book and examine how Hokusai’s volumes participated in the shifting literary and commodity culture of Second-Empire Paris.  Celebrated by naturalist writers and artists in Paris as a source for all things Japanese\, the Manga shaped the earliest visions and descriptions of Japan in France.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reorienting Imperial Jews: Constantinople at the Crossroads of Modern Jewish Identities
DESCRIPTION:This colloquium seeks to reorient modern Jewish history by looking at the Ottoman capital\, Constantinople\, as the central stage upon which Jewish and imperial affiliations collided and coalesced. The nineteenth century decline of the Ottoman\, Habsburg\, and Russian empires and the spread of Western European imperialist intentions propelled the migrations of Jews of different imperial and national subjecthoods to and through Constantinople. This colloquium will explore how these flows of Jewish movement tested Jewish cohesion while forcing the renegotiation of carefully established relationships between Jews and the empires of which they were subjects. In focusing particularly on questions of commerce\, human trafficking\, and Zionism\, this talk will explore what happens when Jewish programs clash with imperial concerns\, when inter-subethnic Jewish tensions threaten to destablize the fragile balance between Jews and empire\, and the ways in which subethnic Jewish identities are reinforced through imperial allegiance. \n\nDevi Mays is an assistant professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor and Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies. After receiving her Ph.D. in Jewish History in 2013\, she was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Modern Jewish Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Her research interests include the modern Sephardic diaspora\, the Jewish Mediterranean\, transnational networks and migration\, and how minority groups navigate transitions from empire to nationalizing states. She is currently revising a book manuscript\, tentatively entitled Forging Ties\, Forging Passports: Migration and the Modern Sephardi Diaspora\, which traces the itineraries and connections of Sephardic migrants from the Ottoman Empire and its successor states to and through Mexico and beyond as a lens into the transnational Sephardic familial\, commercial\, and patronage networks that created a transoceanic modern Sephardic diaspora. Her publications include\, among others\, “‘I Killed Her Because I Loved Her Too Much’: Gender and Violence in the 20th-Century Sephardi Diaspora” (Mashriq & Mahjar: Journal of Middle East Migration Studies\, 2014)\, and numerous translations from Ladino\, Spanish\, and French in Sephardi Lives: A Documentary History\, 1700-1950 (Stanford University Press\, 2014). She is also working on her second project\, which explores the Ottoman capital of Constantinople as a central stage upon which Jewish subethnic and imperial affiliations collided and coalesced.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"On the Apotheosis of the Typewriter and the Xenogenesis of Chinese\,\" Thomas S. Mullaney\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Circa 1900\, the typewriter began to circulate the globe. Keyboard designers\, letterform artists\, and salesmen at Remington and elsewhere found themselves trafficking in Arabic\, Burmese\, Devanagari\, Hebrew\, Mongolian\, Siamese\, and over one hundred others scripts\, with language becoming a “feature” of the machine alongside color and shape. As the QWERTY typewriter stretched to encompass most of the world’s scripts\, however\, one remained frustratingly outside its ostensibly universal embrace: Chinese. Remington’s failure\, alongside its competitors\, was not interpreted as a limitation of the typewriter-form\, however\, but as incontrovertible evidence of the essential alterity and anti-modernity of Chinese writing itself.\n\nThomas S. Mullaney is Associate Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University. He is the author of Coming to Terms with the Nation: Ethnic Classification in Modern China (UC Press) and principal editor of Critical Han Studies: The History\, Representation and Identity of China’s Majority (UC Press). His current book project\, The Chinese Typewriter: A Global History\, examines China’s development of a modern\, nonalphabetic information infrastructure encompassing telegraphy\, typewriting\, word processing\, and computing. This project has received three major awards and fellowships\, including the 2013 Usher Prize\, a three-year National Science Foundation fellowship\, and a Hellman Faculty Fellowship. A recent publication from this project\, \"The Moveable Typewriter: How Chinese Typists Developed Predictive Text during the Height of Maoism\,” was awarded the 2013 Abbott Payson Usher Prize. He is also the founder and editor-in-chief of Dissertation Reviews (www.dissertationreviews.org)\, which publishes five hundred reviews annually of recently defended dissertations in more than 20 different fields in the humanities and social sciences.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception: Eleven Years An exhibition by Jen Davis
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition represents a series of self- portraits created over eleven years\, chronicling the artist’s relationship to her body and weight\, reconsidering ideas of body image\, particularly as they related to societal standards of beauty\, and how these standards affected her life.  The process of making the photographs allowed her to explore these issues by putting herself in front of the camera …as a way to connect\, to figure out what and how to communicate\, to engage more fully\, and move forward.\n\nJen Davis is a photographer whose startlingly intimate self- portraits possess the luminosity of 17th century Dutch painting as well as the raw vulnerability of a great Cassavetes screen heroine. They are disarming in their complete unaffectedness\, at once lyrical and documentary\, leaving us fully awake\, aware of every detail and gesture in this deeply private world of the artist as subject. Each image seems to expect us knowingly\, beckoning us yet completely self-contained. The viewer is startled first then contemplative\, inevitably drawn further into one’s own process of self –examination. Davis’s images offer the gaze between two rooms –public and private\, quite mindfully erasing the line between them\, leaving us to ponder this lingering trace\, and to wonder.\n\nJen Davis is a New York based photographer. She received an MFA from Yale University in 2008\, and BFA from Columbia College Chicago in 2002. Davis’ work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2013. Her first monograph titled Eleven Years\, published by Kehrer Verlag (Germany) was released in the Spring of 2014 accompanied by her first solo show in New York City at ClampArt. Davis is represented by Lee Marks Fine Art\, Shelbyville\, IN and ClampArt\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Detroit is No Dry Bones
DESCRIPTION:Photographs of Detroit by Camilo Jose Vergara\, a packaged exhibition organized by the artist. He is a Chilean-born\, New York-based writer\, photographer and documentarian. Vergara has been compared to Jacob Riis for his photographic documentation of American slums and decaying urban environments. Beginning in the 1980s\, Vergara applied the technique of “rephotography” to a series of American cities\, photographing the same buildings and neighborhoods from the exact vantage point at regular intervals over many years to capture changes over time. Trained as a sociologist with a specialty in urbanism\, Vergara turned to his systematic documentation at a moment of urban decay and he chose locales where that stress seemed highest: the housing projects of Chicago\; the South Bronx\; Camden\, New Jersey\; and Detroit\, among others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ruddigore\; Or The Witch's Curse
DESCRIPTION:UMGASS Presents: Ruddigore\, a comic operaIn the town of Rederring\, Cornwall\, a chorus of professional bridesmaids laments the fact that there have been no weddings for the last six months because every available young man is in love with Rose\, but all are too timid to approach her and she is too proper to ask them. Rose loves Robin\, but feels it wouldn’t be proper etiquette to tell him\; Robin loves Rose\, but is too scared to tell her. Their romance (or lack thereof) is derailed when it is revealed that Robin is actually Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd\, one of the bad baronets of Ruddigore. The bad baronets are cursed to do one crime every day or perish in agony\; a task that Robin proves to be ill-suited for. After a visit from his ghostly relatives\, he resolves to abduct a lady – but she turns out to be more than he’d bargained for. Realizing he is not cut out for a life of crime\, Robin decides to defy the curse\, and since refusing is “tantamount to suicide” and suicide is a crime\, he realizes he curse no longer applies and he can now live a normal life. Robin and Rose are reunited and the bridesmaids finally get their wedding.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Appleseed Collective
DESCRIPTION:Mix the Hot Club of Paris with the sweaty soul of Dixieland\, a couple blades of bluegrass\, a pinch of ragtime beat\, and a western swinging swagger\, and you've just conjured the washboard-driven sound of The Appleseed Collective. Since their 2012 debut album\, \"Baby to Beast\,\" this band has encapsulated a century's worth of music with fresh perspective. \"The blends of swing\, bluegrass\, Dixieland ditties and alluring gypsy-folk whirls—is something close to a transcendent listen ... you're there\, on some dirtroad\, being led on by these songs\,\" says reviewer Jeff Milo of iSpy magazine. The Appleseed Collective has been getting attention from as far away as the UK\, and their 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival appearance put them on the musical radar of a whole lot of people. They're now back from a tour that hit some great venues around the Mountain West\, and they're most definitely a roots Michigan band to watch.
