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:Exhibition:The Crown: Contemporary Construction of Self in America
DESCRIPTION:Note: The Gallery is open M-F 9am-5pm.\n\nThe Crown: Contemporary Construction of Self in America is an exhibit and series of programs imagined by visiting artist Shani Peters and sponsored by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Institute for the Humanities (IH).  The project will feature a video installation in the IH gallery\, an interactive portrait exhibition in GalleryDAAS\, and a video screening of  the award winning film\, Chameleon Street. The screenings will be held at the Institute of the Humanities and at the Charles Wright Museum in Detroit\, MI.\n\nAbout the project:\n\nThe Crown: Contemporary Construction of Self in America is a series of projects by artist Shani Peters that will examine the socially acceptable yet complicated concept of Black pride and success. Crowns\, symbolic of kings and queens\, and conferred on any number of Black popular culture figures from James Brown to Biggie\, are also symbols for systems of inequitably distributed resources and injustice. This multi-part project—which includes two exhibitions\, a film screening\, and a panel discussion—asks the question: what does it mean to acknowledge the need for these forms of pride and success while recognizing their problems? It further complicates the question with a consideration of the similar celebration and pride that comes from attaining degrees of higher education which offer obvious opportunities\, yet can alienate students of African descent from their origins. The artist asks\, how do Black people register these complicated elements in ways that allow them to move progressively through western power structures towards futures that reflect their right to dignity and self-determination? Sponsored by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and the Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Scholarly Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Vinay Gidwani\, Institute for Global Studies\, University of Minnesota\n\nVinay Gidwani navigates an uneven ideoscape consisting of Marxist geography\, neoclassical economics\, agrarian studies\, and environmental science to arrive at his present home in Geography and the Institute of Global Studies. Close engagement with disparate intellectual traditions\, which often disagree on issues of epistemology and politics\, has been a source of creative tension. Gidwani’s approach to theory and praxis reflects this. Although he studies issues of work\, poverty\, livelihoods\, and agroecological change within the Indian context\, his scholarship is defined by research problematics rather than by regional affiliation. He draws liberally on Africanist\, Latin American\, and Southeast Asian scholarship for insights.

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: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:War versus Holy War: The Literature of a Sumatran Jihad
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James Siegel\, Cornell University\n\nIn 1873 Dutch forces invaded the Sultanate of Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra. This set off fierce opposition that some historians claim lasted until the Japanese drove out the Dutch. Most historians however say that the war was over by 1914. By that date the sultan had been deposed and died\, his heir was banished\, the local chiefs who had taken over the war had been killed or put down\, the religious scholars who succeeded them were killed or put down. The end of organized opposition did not end the holy war\, however. Individuals continued to attack infidels. The transmission of the holy war no longer depended on its leadership since there was none. In its place was an ‘epic’ of the war\, blamed by the Dutch for the continuing attacks against them. The lecture will examine the formal characteristics of this long verse to show how it sustained a further 25 years of lethal aggression by those defeated in war as we understand it.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ancient Rome in Silent Cinema - Maria Wyke University College London (2015 Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series)
DESCRIPTION:Cinema has been fascinated with the ancient world and with Roman history in particular ever since it emerged as a new technology more than one hundred years ago. Within a few months of the first public shows of moving images held in 1896\, Nero was brought onto the screen trying out poisons on his slaves\, and hundreds more films were made thereafter. The vast majority remain largely forgotten although they still survive in archives across the world. Yet the persistence of ancient Rome in early cinema compels us to ask: why did so modern a medium have so strong an interest in antiquity right from its start? What did ancient Rome do for cinema? And what did cinema do for ancient Rome?

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Urban Development Now
DESCRIPTION:Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Presents Urban Development Now.\n\nThe 2nd Annual Urban Development Now symposium explores the relationship between urban development and capital\, and the twin roles of innovative design and innovative finance in transforming urban neighborhoods into thriving communities. Architectural and urban design serve private development and the public good\; innovative financing models sync the capital markets with private and public demand not only for individual signature buildings but also for public infrastructure and transport. What is the appropriate level of public investment in private development? What are the most critical infrastructure needs occurring alongside mega-urban developments? How do resources flow from profitable development to partially subsidized development such as affordable housing\, public space and cultural institutions? Leaders in real estate and finance will discuss their current development projects in Miami Beach and the Miami Design District\, Olympic Park in London\, Roosevelt Island and other boroughs in New York. Keynote lectures by Jeanne Gang and Craig Robins will frame two panel discussions and presentations on 1) Capitalizing on Space - focused on long-term imagination in conceptualizing urban precincts\, and 2) Leveraging Typology and Mixed-Use - focused on linking singular developments to existing urban fabrics.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nFriday\, March 13\, 2015 \nUniversity of Michigan Museum of Art\n\n5:00 pm - 6:00 pm	Reception\n\n6:00 pm - 7:45 pm	\nKEYNOTE LECTURE\nJeanne Gang\, Founder / Principal\, Studio Gang Architects\nHelmut Stern Auditorium\n 	 \nSaturday\, March 14\, 2015 \nUniversity of Michigan Museum of Art Helmut Stern Auditorium\n\n8:30 am	REGISTRATION / LIGHT BREAKFAST (Forum)\n\n9:00 am	OPENING REMARKS: Taubman College Dean Monica Ponce de Leon\n\n9:05 am	INTRODUCTION: Taubman College Associate Dean Milton S.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LECTURE: JEANNE GANG
DESCRIPTION:Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents Jeanne Gang.\n\nVisionary architect and MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang is the founder and principal of Studio Gang Architects\, a Chicago-based collective of architects\, designers\, and thinkers whose projects confront pressing contemporary issues. Driven by curiosity\, intelligence\, and radical creativity\, Jeanne has produced some of today’s most innovative and award-winning architecture. The transformative potential of her work is exemplified by such recent projects as the Aqua Tower (named the 2009 Emporis Skyscraper of the Year)\, Northerly Island framework plan\, Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo\, and Columbia College Chicago’s Media Production Center.\n\nJeanne seeks to answer questions that lie locally (site\, culture\, people) and resound globally (density\, climate\, sustainability) through her architecture. Her designs are rooted in both architectural form and idea-driven content to make a compelling whole\, and she often arrives at design solutions through investigations and collaborations across disciplines.\n\nJeanne’s work has been honored and exhibited widely\, most notably at the International Venice Biennale\, MoMA\, the National Building Museum\, and the Art Institute of Chicago. A distinguished graduate of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design\, she has taught at Harvard\, Yale\, Princeton\, and IIT\, where her studios have focused on cities\, ecologies\, materials\, and technologies. Reveal\, her first volume on Studio Gang’s work and working process\, was released in 2011 from Princeton Architectural Press.\n\nJeanne Gang’s lecture will serve as the kick off for the 2nd Annual Urban Development Now Symposium\, which will focus on the changing economic and development landscape of cities\, and the distinct role of the capital markets in realizing large-scale urban projects.\n\nRefreshments will be served in the UMMA Forum from 5:30 until 6pm.\n\nPlease note: Gang’s lecture will serve as the kick off for the 2nd Annual Urban Development Now Symposium\, which will focus on the changing economic and development landscape of cities\, and the distinct role of the capital markets in realizing large-scale urban projects. 5:00 pm reception at the UMMA Forum. The symposium will continue on Saturday\, March 14 with panel conversations and a networking lunch.\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Berj H. Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Taner Akcam\, Kaloosdian/Mugar Professor of History\, Clark University\n\nWhen Michael Hagopian made his first classic acclaimed documentary on the Armenian genocide in 1975\, which won him two Emmys\, he called it\, “the forgotten Genocide.” Decades have passed since then and hundreds of publications in a variety of languages have been printed on the subject. Far from a “forgotten Genocide\,” today the Armenian genocide holds an important place within the field of Genocide studies.\n\nThis talk will address the problems that are endemic to the field of Armenian genocide studies.  What challenges do we face? How can we continue to develop an academically rigorous field amidst a toxic and politicized environment resulting from a policy of denial by the Turkish state? Akcam will delineate the different stages that Armenian genocide studies has traversed as he evaluates the state of field today.\n\nThe Dr. Berj Haidostian Annual Distinguished lectureship was established by the family of the late Dr. Berj Haidostian\, a prominent and devoted physician in Michigan\; the annual lecturer is selected jointly by the Armenian studies faculty and the Haidostian family from among internationally recognized experts on Armenia and Armenians. The Haidostian family has a long and continuing relationship with the University and the Armenian Studies Program.
