SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Life Line: Scratchboard Etchings
DESCRIPTION:While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art\, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design\, such as composition\, pattern\, texture\, contrast\, line\, etc. Using nature as her muse\, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

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.

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:Conference / Symposium:Lasting Echoes: Musical Exchanges Between China and India
DESCRIPTION:How Buddhism connects Chinese culture\, history and religion is well recognized. In comparison\, how music connects two different civilizations is much less discussed\; nevertheless\, Chinese music history and theory readily acknowledge Indian influences. CIUM hosts a one-day symposium on historical and contemporary musical exchanges between China and India\, featuring leading scholars and performers of the fields\, by which we hope to stimulate such research on cultural and musical connections between China and India. To highlight musical contacts and expressions between the two civilizations\, the symposium will conclude with a unique performance of traditional and fusion Chinese and Indian music. The performance will be held at Stamps Auditorium at 8 pm.

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:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien\, home
DESCRIPTION:Nummer veertien\, home\, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film\, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial\; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace\, in reverse\, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week\, thousand-mile trek of biking\, running\, and swimming\; and the story of Alexander the Great\, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.\n\nThe film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance\, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature\, the interplay of history and geography\, the power of melancholy\, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score\, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings\, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece\, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.        \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Medicinal Plants and Gardens: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag\, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden\, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty\, will continue that legacy\, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines\, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.\nPreceding the garden’s opening\, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens\, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium\, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden\, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei\, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The U-M Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 27 - Saturday\, February 21\nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, February 3\, 4:30-6:30 pm\nWork Gallery\, 306 S. State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life.  It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.  But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic.  He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares.  Since then\, these images have been with me.  Fascination?  Yes.  Revulsion?  That\, too.  It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself.  All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis.  “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential.  The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

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:PANEL DISCUSSION AND EXHIBITION RECEPTION: WHERE IF NOT US?
DESCRIPTION:In her talk\, Ines Schaber will reference the exhibition Where If Not Us? – Participatory Design and Its Radical Approaches. A visual journey by Mathias Heyden and Ines Schaber\, currently on display in the Taubman College Gallery.\nA point of departure for the research and production of this project was the realization that planners and architects rarely think about the relationship of their efforts to the politics of image making and representation. However\, throughout the history of planning and architecture\, photography has played a crucial role in how we imagine and understand the built environment. Notably\, a majority of images depict newly finished projects before they are occupied\, a technique that emphasizes ideas and aesthetics over all else. Consequently\, the utilization of designed spaces and their changing usage over time is something that has rarely entered the practice of image making and representation—and by extension has eluded inclusion in the understanding of the creation and management of space. While conventional practices of documentation and promotion are commonly accepted in relation to an idea of design where the planner and architect is understood as a single author\, this process becomes more complicated when planning and building projects are conceptualized and organized differently\, particularly in the case of participatory designs. Such projects\, especially those with various protagonists involved\, not only call for a different form of representation\, but even more urgently require another way of working with images in the process of developing\, evaluating\, and understanding the nature of participatory work.\nMathias Heyden is a Berlin-based architect\, activist\, author\, curator\, and co-founder of community project K 77. Currently\, he is an assistant professor of urban design and architecture at the Institute of Architecture\, Technical University Berlin. Heyden is the editor of numerous publications including Hier entsteht. Strategien partizipativer Architektur und räumlicher Aneignung (Under Construction\, Strategies of Participatory Architecture and Spatial Appropriation\, with Jesko Fezer\, 2004)\, and the magazines An Architektur 19-21: Community Design. Involvement and Architecture in the US since 1963 (with An Architektur\, 2008).\nInes Schaber is an artist and writer\, based in Berlin\, Germany. She has studied Fine Arts in Berlin\, architectural theory at Princeton University and holds a PhD from Goldsmith College in London\, in the department of Visual Culture\, Center for Research Architecture. She is currently visiting faculty in the Photo and Media Program at CalArts\, California. Her work was recently shown at dOCUMENTA (13) (in collaboration with the sociologist Avery Gordon)\, at kunstwerke Berlin\, (in collaboration with the filmmaker Madhusree Dutta)\, Steirischer Herbst\, and the Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn (in collaboration with the artist Stefan Pente).\nMichael Rios is associate professor of community and urban design and chair of the Community Development Graduate Group at the University of California\, Davis. Michael received his Ph.D. in Geography from The Pennsylvania State University and Master of Architecture and Master of City Planning degrees from the University of California\, Berkeley. He is currently working on a Graham Foundation funded project: “Curating the City: Activism\, Aesthetics\, and the Representational Spaces of Democratic Practice”.\nMireille Roddier is an associate professor in the architecture program at Taubman College. She shares a practice with Keith Mitnick\, with whom she has worked since 1994. Their work has received numerous awards and recognition. Their ongoing interest in the mechanisms and politics of representation has fueled their design practice as well as Roddier’s own research on the aestheticization of urban decay. She is the author of Lavoirs: Washhouses of Rural France (New York: Princeton Architectural Press\, 2003) She has lectured internationally on the aestheticization of urban decay.\nThe Exhibition is funded by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and the ifa (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen).

SUMMARY:Performance:John McCutcheon
DESCRIPTION:John McCutcheon's art grew out of his absolute mastery of American traditional music and instruments. He's a legend of the guitar\, the hammered dulcimer\, and several other instruments\, and he's a prolific songwriter. The result is a body of classic American song\, rooted in the best our musical tradition has to offer. John McCutcheon is a voice for peace\, a community organizer\, a writer\, a literacy campaigner\, and a performer who has packed concert halls on four continents. The Washington Post calls John's concerts \"little feats of magic\,\" and as a storyteller he's been compared with Garrison Keillor—and\, even better than that\, Will Rogers. John is at work on a new release\, \"Joe Hill's Last Will.\"
