SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons. In her apartment kitchen\, she soldered together tiny\, durable compositions that conveyed stories or visual puns\, and her narrative style emerged. Her work\, often representational\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. An Ann Arbor native\, she has strong family connections to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Woodland Seasons: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

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: 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:Workshop / Seminar:Armenian History as World History—Approaches to Teaching & Methods
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores ways to integrate the teaching of Armenian history within the wider context of World History. Workshop participants will think together about how to teach Armenian history and make it relevant to larger audiences of students coming from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. What methods and approaches can help break the insularity of teaching Armenian History? How can we benefit from new approaches used by global historians to engage students in a rewriting of Armenian history?\n\nThe current state of teaching Armenian history survey courses remains largely confined to the traditional paradigm of kingdom / nation state and remains spatially focused on the territory of historical Armenia. Even though a new generation of scholars move beyond the traditional framing of Armenian history there is a visible lack of textbooks that treat Armenian history within the wider context of world history or incorporate the latest conceptual turns in the field of history.\n\nThe workshop will explore the possibilities of widening the frames of teaching Armenian history. Armenian history presents a significant space to investigate the interconnectedness of world history  – long established literary tradition\, mercantile connections stretching far beyond the immediate socio-spatial milieu traditionally associated with Armenia and Armenians. The location of Armenia / Armenians at the crossroads of a multitude of different empires encompassing Armenia all present possibilities of placing Armenian history within the context of world history. In fact given its reach and continuous recorded history it is surprising how little Armenian history has entered the field of world history.\n\nThe workshop brings together scholars working in three different periods of Armenian history stretching from medieval to the early modern and into the contemporary world in an attempt to discuss discrete approaches to world history within each era.\n\nOrganizer: Arsene Saparov\, lecturer in history\, U-M\n\nWorkshop Participants:\nGerard Libaridian\nSergio La Porte\nSebouh Aslanian

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ta-Nehisi Coates - \"A Deeper Black: Race in America\"
DESCRIPTION:Ta-Nehisi Coates delves into the conflicted and hopeful state of black America today. What does \"black culture\" mean? What is the continuing role of both the older and younger generations in shaping it? Where will gentrification\, education\, and the splintering (or unifying) of families take it? This talk asks the small personal questions as well as the big historic ones.\n\nAn Atlantic senior editor and writer\, Ta-Nehisi Coates has penned many influential articles on race\, masculinity\, and politics. His June 2014 cover story on slavery and race\, \"The Case for Reparations\,\" is one of the most talked-about pieces of nonfiction in recent memory. Last year\, his lively Atlantic blog was named by Time as one of the 25 Best in the World. Coates is a former writer for The Village Voice\, and a contributor to Time\, O\, and The New York Times Magazine. \n\nPresented by the Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG) and the Women’s Studies Department\, the biennial Motorola Lecture exposes students\, faculty\, and the broader community to the work of exceptional journalists and informs students about ways the media can reframe public understanding of complex issues.

DESCRIPTION:The January 7th attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hedbo\, in which Al Qaeda-affiliated gunmen shot 12 people to death\, has been the impetus for a number of critical political developments. Amid genuine sorrow and shock demonstrated by millions in French demonstrations last week\, state leaders and media conglomerates have utilized the events to pursue and deepen bloody imperialist wars of aggression in Africa and the Middle East\, and destroy basic democratic rights in their home countries.\n \nThe claim that US and European heads of state support “freedom of speech” and “freedom of the press” in their home countries is an outright lie. Since 2003\, under the narrative of a “war on terror\,” US and European governments have rolled back virtually every democratic right\, suppressing any and all opposition to their illegal and unpopular wars. These leaders have bombed and decimated Iraq\, Afghanistan\, Libya\, Syria\, and several other countries\, killing\, wounding and displacing multiple millions of people\, while reducing these countries to social wastelands.\n \nJournalists who have challenged the official narratives of these wars have been hounded and even killed for exposing the brutal realities of these illegal operations. Figures like Julian Assange\, Chelsea Bradley Manning\, and Edward Snowden have exposed – in the best sense of journalistic exposures – massive crimes over the last six years. They have been pursued from country to country or imprisoned by these same supposed defenders of a “free press” for their efforts.\n \nThe events in France also underscore an even more sinister component of the “war on terror”: that in order to offset potential economic and political rivals on the world scene\, such as Russia and China\, European and North American leaders are lurching rapidly to right\, constructing the skeletal framework of a police state. This is being done in anticipation of the need to suppress popular opposition to their anti-democratic assaults and imperialist wars. This lurch to the right is nakedly on display in France\, as the deeply unpopular French President Francois Hollande invited for the first time the neo-fascist political leader Marine Le Pen of the National Front to the Elysee Presidential Palace to discuss a “unity coalition.”\n \nStudents and youth should take these developments as a warning. As they did in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks\, state leaders and their media outlets are utilizing backward and right wing elements to attack the rights and conditions of workers both abroad and at home. These assaults can only be opposed by a massive organization of workers and students in opposition to imperialist war\, and for the conscious struggle for revolutionary socialism.\n \nThe next meeting of the of IYSSE at the University of Michigan will address these developments in more detail\, and we encourage all interested students to attend.
