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:Now or Never: Collecting\, Documenting and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history. Kelsey wrote\, “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.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918. Two Armenian manuscripts that were purchased as a consequence of the expedition are on display.\n\nLecture and opening reception will take place at 4 p.m. on January 14 in the Hatcher Library Gallery\, adjacent to the exhibit.\n\nExhibit materials are courtesy of the Bentley Historical Library and U-M Library Special Collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Dykes\, Dads\, and Moms to Watch out For: The Comics of Alison Bechdel
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for the Humanities is pleased to present the first comprehensive\, curated exhibition of the work of Alison Bechdel\, cartoonist\, graphic memoirist\, and 2014 McArthur \"Genius.\" Bechdel's work explores the overlap of the personal and the political\, \"using the interplay of word and image to weave sophisticated narratives.\" The musical adaptation of her acclaimed graphic memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic\, which originated at the Public Theater\, opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\n\"Alison Bechdel’s comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For has become a countercultural institution among lesbians and discerning non-lesbians all over the planet. And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\"

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: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:Exhibition:Infra Eco Logi Urbanism Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A gallery talk and reception will take place on Wednesday\, January 21\, 2015. Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe Infra Eco Logi Urbanism exhibition posits an approach and a vision for architecture at the urban scale within the contemporary post-metropolitan condition. The project assembles a multi-year investigation that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America\, and a develops a design proposition to leverage energy and mobility infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends\, addressing questions of politics and urban society.\nThe exhibition is organized as a territory\, gathering a diverse body of work including regional cartographies\, network analyses\, historical research\, writings\, photographs\, design drawings and physical models. In aggregate\, it presents a position from which to apprehend urban questions\, a vision\, a design methodology that operates across scales from the regional to the specific\, and an event around which to discuss regional systems and the role of design in figuring their futures.\nInfra Eco Logi Urbanism is a project\, exhibition and forthcoming publication by RVTR\, a research-based design practice founded by U-M Taubman College architecture associate professor Geoffrey Thün and assistant professor Kathy Velikov\, and Ryerson University architecture chair Colin Ripley. The exhibition was previously on display at Yale University. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Matter of Contention: Relics of the Biblical Past Between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity\,\" Ra'anan Boustan\, University of California\, Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: During the period of late antiquity (ca. 200–800 CE)\, Jews and Christians in the Mediterranean world were fascinated by the fate of artifacts associated with sacrificial cult of the Jerusalem Temple and the royal house of ancient Israel. The presence of such objects—as word\, image\, relic\, or replica—had the capacity to imbue people\, places\, and ritual practices with authority and even sanctity. This paper explores how such “biblical” artifacts were recruited into a variety of often competing religious or ideological projects\, but also how they helped to generate shared idioms of power that crossed religious and social boundaries. Contestation between Jews and Christian over the ownership\, function\, or meaning of these objects also illuminates how religious communities shape each other’s understandings of sacred matter and even of materiality itself.\n\nRa‘anan Boustan is an Associate Professor in the Ancient and Jewish history fields in the Department of History at UCLA. Boustan is a historian of religion whose research and teaching focus on the dynamic intersections between Judaism and other Mediterranean religious traditions\, with a special interest in the impact of Romanization and Christianization on Jewish culture and society in late antiquity. Boustan is the author of From Martyr to Mystic: Rabbinic Martyrology and the Making of Merkavah Mysticism (2005)\, has published widely in leading journals such as The Jewish Quarterly Review\, Jewish Studies Quarterly\, and Medieval Encounters. He has also co-edited eight volumes\, most recently a special issue of the journal Archiv für Religionsgeschichte on “Authoritative Traditions and Ritual Power in the Ancient World” (forthcoming 2015). He is currently writing a book entitled The Holy Remains: Tokens of Cult and Kingship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity\, which traces the history of sacred objects associated with the ancient Israelite past within Jewish and Christian cultures in late antiquity.\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:Lecture / Discussion:My Hummus is Bigger Than Your Hummus: Food and Politics in Israel
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dafna Hirsch\, Department of Sociology\, Political Science and Communication\,The Open University of Israel\n\nDescription: How has the Arab dish of hummus become a (Jewish) Israeli passion? And how should we think of the relationship between the field of politics and practices of food consumption? While the Israeli appropriation of hummus\, and other Arab dishes\, appears like a clear case of “culinary colonialism\,” I argue that although the culinary field is not detached from politics\, consumption and signification patterns do not simply reflect political relations. Rather\, they are shaped by the articulation of several power structures\, the relationship between Jews and Arabs being only one of them. Focusing on the case study of hummus\, this lecture will emphasize the role of various agents and cultural intermediaries in promoting both consumption and signification patterns of the dish\, one of the most important among them being the food industry.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dafna Hirsch is a faculty member at the Department of Sociology\, Political Science and Communication at the Open University of Israel\, and currently a visiting scholar at the Department of Nutrition\, Food Studies\, and Public Health and The Taub Center for Israel Studies at NYU. Her studies focus on the culture of everyday life in Mandate Palestine and Israel in historical perspective. Her book 'We Are Here to Bring the West': Hygiene Education and Culture Building in the Jewish Community of Mandate Palestine just came out in Hebrew.
