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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE BENEFITS OF FACEBOOK FRIENDS: SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE
DESCRIPTION:People across the globe collectively spend thousands of hours each day on social media\, but what are the social\, interpersonal\, and psychological effects of these activities?  In this presentation\, Prof. Ellison will summarize some of the research on these topics and present her own work examining the positive social and psychological implications of Facebook use\, as well as recent survey data about older adults’ use of social media.\n\nIn 2007 Dr. Ellison published one of the first academic articles on the relationship between Facebook use and social capital (which describes the resources we access through social relationships)\, and she has continued to explore this question.\n\nPlease check the OLLI web site for additional lectures in the 6-week series\, “Computers\, the Internet\, and Big Data: Benefits and Dangers”\, Thursdays\, February 19-April 2:\n\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/programs_activities/lectures/4th_Lecture_Series.pdf

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Uncanny Valley
DESCRIPTION:Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker\n(collaboratively working under the name Future Retrieval)\n\nThe objects presented merge the strengths of our studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. Ornament and detail collide with a fascination of taxidermy and natural order. Each object contains a history\, reaching back and highlighting ideals of time and labor.\nThree-dimensional scans and photographs have been rapid prototyped\, processed in the studio\, and molded into porcelain mimicking the world of European decorative arts. Inspired also by German animal sculptures and cut silhouettes\, we are using digital translation to both highlight and transform these details that fascinate us. The interest in new technologies and industrial methods is that each piece is handmade\, but maintains the record of a computer driven interpretation. Our intention is to make art objects that reference design and are held together by craft.\n\nBio \nFuture Retrieval\n\nGuy Michael Davis was born in 1978 and raised in Bartlesville\, OK. Katie Parker was born in 1980 in Jonesboro Arkansas\, and grew up in Plano\, Texas. They both attended the Kansas City Art Institute from 1999-2003 and received BFA degrees in ceramics.\nKatie went straight to graduate school at The Ohio State University from 2003-2005\, Guy followed suit three years later from 2006-2008. Both Katie and Guy received MFA degrees in ceramics. \nCurrently\, Katie is an Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati\, running the ceramics department. Guy works for multiple designers across the country\, and is an adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati. For several years\, they have also been collaborating together\, making objects that combine new technology\, porcelain\, and good craft. The objects merge the strengths of their individual studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. They have exhibited both nationally and internationally\, with recent shows in New York City\, Jingdezhen China\, Cardiff Wales\, Philadelphia\, Kansas City\, and Tempe Arizona. This summer they were both artists in residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha\, NE.

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:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\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 Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Flame On!\": Nuclear Families\, Unstable Molecules\, and the Queer History of \"The Fantastic Four\"
DESCRIPTION:Released to popular acclaim in 1961\, Marvel Comics’ \"Fantastic Four\" told the story of four anticommunist space adventurers who gain extraordinary powers when cosmic rays alter their physiology\, granting them\, respectively\, control over living flame\, invisibility\, impenetrable rock-like skin\, and physical pliability. The monstrous transformations of \"The Fantastic Four\" placed its heroes outside the bounds of Cold War gender and sexual norms: their bodies had mutated in ways that destabilized their assumed gender and sexual identities.\n\n In this talk\, Ramzi Fawaz explores the surprisingly queer evolution of the series\, which used the mutated bodies of its heroes to depict the transformation of the bread-winning father\, doting wife\, and bickering male siblings of the 1950s nuclear family into icons of 1960s radicalism: the left-wing intellectual\, the liberal feminist\, the political activist\, and the potential queer.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Symposium: \"Temporality Across Disciplines\"
DESCRIPTION:Recent discussions of “Big History” and “deep history” have drawn attention to the variety of timescales historical disciplines rely on and to questions regarding the nature of time itself. This panel brings together a medieval historian\, astrophysicist\, evolutionary biologist\, and philologist to consider the meaning of time and scale in the work they do. Our aim is to explore the comparative meaning of temporality across disciplines\, consider the differences and commonalities this discussion reveals\, and perhaps suggest ways that scholars in a history department can collaborate with those in other disciplines.\n\nDiscussion featuring: Katherine L. French (J. Frederick Hoffman Professor of History\, University of Michigan)\, Cameron Gibelyou (Coordinator of Teaching\, Programming\, and Innovation\, University of Michigan)\, Piotr Michalowski (George G. Cameron Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations\, University of Michigan)\, Stephen A. Smith (Assistant Professor\, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, University of Michigan)\, Paul N. Edwards (discussant\; Professor\, History and School of Information\, University of Michigan)\, Martin S. Pernick (panel chair\; Professor\, History\, University of Michigan).\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis program 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:Performance:Natalie Diaz Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Diaz was born in the Fort Mojave Indian Village in Needles\, California. She is Mojave and an enrolled member of the Gila River Indian community. She earned a BA from Old Dominion University\, where she received a full athletic scholarship. Diaz played professional basketball in Europe and Asia before returning to Old Dominion to earn an MFA. She is the author of the poetry collection When My Brother Was an Aztec (2012)\, which New York Times reviewer Eric McHenry described as an “ambitious... beautiful book.” Her honors and awards include the Nimrod/Hardman Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry\, the Louis Untermeyer Scholarship in Poetry from Bread Loaf\, the Narrative Poetry Prize\, and Lannan Literary Fellowship.\n\nDiaz lives in Mohave Valley\, Arizona\, where she works with the last speakers of Mojave and directs a language revitalization program. In a PBS interview\, she spoke of the connection between writing and experience: \"for me writing is kind of a way for me to explore why I want things and why I'm afraid of things and why I worry about things. And for me\, all of those things represent a kind of hunger that comes with being raised in a place like this.”\n\nUMMA is pleased to be the site for the Zell Visiting Writers Series\, which brings outstanding writers each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from UM alumna Helen Zell(’64). For more information\, please see www.lsa.umich.edu/english/grad/mfa/mfaeve.asp.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jews in France and the Legacy of the French Empire
DESCRIPTION:Frankel Institute Detroit Lecture Series on Jews and Empires\n\nContemporary discussions in France about a resurgence of anti-Semitism in recent years have focused attention on evolving attitudes about the successes and failures of the French “melting pot”—the aggregation of diverse peoples and cultures in France across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This talk will explore the complicated linkages between the history of citizenship in France\, and the history of colonialism\, decolonization\, and immigration\, with attention to the significance of these connections for French Jews and their relationship with other populations within the French polity.

SUMMARY:Performance:Suzanne Westenhoefer
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne Westenhoefer is brave\, bold\, and comic gold. The real deal in a post-modern world seeking to pump out reproductions\, Suzanne is the reigning shtick chick worth noting. Her individual style and unique sense of self set the stage for all walks of life—young\, old\, gay\, straight\, lesbian\, bi\, and every descriptor imaginable in between. When you’ve lived life\, you talk about it. When you’re a comedienne living life\, you really talk about it. For instance\, how do you refer to your new girlfriend’s parents while updating your status on Facebook … at their house … over Christmas? In-laws doesn’t quite seem the appropriate term. Neither does out-laws (that might imply divorce—assuming you’re in a state that even allows marriage\, much less divorce) … there isn’t really a term that seems appropriate. Suzanne has been especially adept at bringing her own experiences into her routines. She’s a brand-new woman every time\, and she’ll take you for a ride on the wild side. All aboard!
