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.\r\n\r\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 \u201cunless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants\u201d of Greek and Armenian society, who have \u201cbeen practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor\u201d no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was \u201cnow or never\u201d he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from \u201cunappreciative hands\u201d for a token price. It was now or never that Greek, Syriac, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the \u201cpossession of these, and their proper preservation, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.\u201d Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.

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.\r\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.\r\n\r\nBio \r\nFuture Retrieval\r\n\r\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.\r\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. \r\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 \u2013 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 type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us\u2014how, 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?\r\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum\u2019s 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.\r\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 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.\r\nPreceding the garden\u2019s 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.

Calligraphy began in China, but in Japan, both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined and devised to create a uniquely Japanese art. With the brush soaked in ink, the thickness and the tone of the characters can be controlled. In this way, a calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. In the class, students will experience and practice the art of Japanese calligraphy with a brush and black ink, learning both Kana and Kanji characters. The drawing process itself encourages a calming of the mind and peacefulness, similar to a form of meditation. \r\n$5 materials fee to be paid in class.

With each new release Rana redefines a genre that seems to be hers alone.\r\nBorn in Iran, Rana grew up listening to any albums she could get her hands on, fostering a love for American blues artists like Odetta and Leadbelly; while rockin\u2019 to Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin.\r\nRana left Iran after graduating from Tehran University and she soon found herself in New York City, exploring her talents in lacquer paintings and soaking in the sounds and music of Manhattan, including the rich cultural district of Harlem where she discovered her love of jazz.\r\n\r\nIt was in New York that Rana first teamed with guitarist\/ producer Steven Toub for her first full-length CD \u201cThe Blues Are Brewin\u2019\u201d, a collection of American jazz and blues standards. Toub a veteran of New York\u2019s rock and blues scene has recorded at such legendary studio\u2019s as Electric Ladyland and The Power Station as well as performing in opening slots for Squeeze, Robin Trower and Siouxsie and the Banshees.\r\n\r\nFarhan\u2019s \u201cI Return\u201d, a unique fusion of classical Persian poetry with contemporary blues and jazz music that really set the world on fire. After recording and distributing a track called \u201cRumi\u2019s Prayer\u201d over the internet, the response from both American and International listeners was overwhelming. With a demand for more, Farhan and Toub, began writing and recording the album working off of both Rumi and Hafez, compiling one of the most sensitive fusions of two distant cultures.\r\nRana\u2019s virtual popularlity in Iran is what led Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi to feature her in his award winning film, \u201cNo One Knows About Persian Cats.\u201d Ghobadi says Rana is an important figure in the Iranian music scene today. \u201cLike a needle and thread, Rana stitches East and West together through her music.\"\r\n\r\nRana and Steven will be performing select songs alongside graduate Jazz students from the University of Michigan.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"21483-1352677@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/21483", "building_id":"1000172", "building_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "campus_maps_id":"71", "room":"Auditorium", "location_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"Student: $10, Non-student: $15.
