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.

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: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:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Christian de Pee\, Associate Professor and Director\, Program in Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, University of Michigan\n\nAlthough it is difficult to identify a distinct moment in the Chinese past when printing technology caused a radical change in the production or the transfer of knowledge\, it is evident that during the eleventh century the availability of printed texts transformed practices of reading and writing\, and allowed the creation of virtual communities of learning. Notebooks (biji) of this period not only record new practices of reading and writing\, but they contribute to those practices by offering a convenient form for the recording of new kinds of knowledge\, and by assisting in the creation of categories of knowledge (e.g.\, connoisseurship of commodities)\, some of which subsequently become the subject of separate literary genres.\n\nChristian de Pee [duh PAY] is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1997. His first book\, The Writing of Weddings in Middle-Period China\, was published by the State University of New York Press in 2007. His current research examines when\, where\, and why the city and the cityscape became acceptable topics of literary composition in eleventh-century China. Today’s talk about notebooks (biji) is part of this broad reflection on semiotic relationships between text and space.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Teaching a Learning Health System to Learn
DESCRIPTION:Karandeep Singh\, MD is a second year postdoctoral fellow in the Biomedical Informatics Master’s program at Harvard Medical School and a clinical and research fellow in nephrology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.\n\nDr. Singh graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in 2004 and a M.D. in 2008.  Dr. Singh also completed the Program for Clinical Effectiveness\, a non-degree program offered through the Harvard School of Public Health.  His current research focuses on using biomedical informatics to measure and improve patient care. The abstract for his talk is below.\n\nFor the learning health system model to succeed\, it must deliver value to all invested parties by imparting new insights and using new knowledge to inform decision-making by clinicians\, patients\, and healthcare entities. In this presentation will describe how emerging informatics techniques such as natural language processing can be combined with modern statistical and machine learning methods to form the building blocks of a learning health system. These methods will be applied to the use case of chronic kidney disease with retrospective data to demonstrate what new knowledge can be gained\, how this knowledge can be applied\, and how the results of implementing such a system can be measured.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Rights Initiative Lecture. Jody Williams and Jared Genser
DESCRIPTION:In 2000\, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1325\, a landmark framework that would shape the global understanding of the roles of women in conflict situations and peace-building processes. Acknowledging the changing nature of warfare\, in which civilian casualties have grown exponentially and gender-based violence has become a weapon of war\, and recognizing the critical role of women in creating sustainable peace\, the Resolution called on member states to take measures to increase participation of women in peace-building processes and to protect women from gender-based violence. Dozens of countries have developed National Action Plans to implement the Resolution and several further Security Council Resolutions have been adopted to reinforce the norms codified in the Resolution. In 2015\, the women\, peace\, and security agenda is being reevaluate by the UN Security Council.  To close the gap between the promise of Resolution 1325 and its implementation\, 10 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates\, including Jody Williams\, commissioned Jared Genser and other partners to prepare and submit a report to the UN Security Council evaluating the impact of the Resolution 1325 and recommending how its implementation can be addressed.  In anticipation of the the report that is to be submitted in late March\, Jody Williams and Jared Genser will join the Human Rights Initiative to preview its findings and its implications\, and to discuss women's rights in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Chameleon Street Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Crown: Shani Peters and Contemporary Construction of Self in America Chameleon Street (1990) 94 MIN. Directed by and starring Wendell B. Harris.\n\nWinner of the 1990 Sundance Film Festivals coveted Grand Jury Prize\, but virtually unheard of since\, Chameleon Street is a present day new Black classic. Magazine reporter\, surgeon\, lawyer\, William Douglas can do it all—at least that’s what he lets people think. Based on a true story and set in Detroit\, this compelling film follows the increasingly bizarre trail of lies told by this unassuming con man. Struggling with money and marriage\, Street begins working scam – and assuming a variety of incredible new identities—that lead him down a dangerous road of deception. This screening\, in conjunction with The Crown: Shani Peters and Contemporary Construction of Self in America. Co-sponsored by the Institute of Humanities.\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: Shani Peters and 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:Religion and Watergate: The Religious Faith and Practice of Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford
DESCRIPTION:Author and historian David L. Holmes shares his thoughts on the contrasting beliefs and \npractices of two men in a pivotal political period. \n\nGerald Ford was sworn into the Presidency amidst a flurry of religious statements. He brought to office a strong religious background and no enemies list or concern for vengeance. \n \nRichard Nixon secretly denied the divinity of Christ and Biblical miracles. His extraordinary career showed that he was more than willing to jettison Quaker principles when they conflicted with ambition.\n \nDavid Holmes\, winner of numerous teaching awards\, is Mason Professor of Religion Emeritus at the College of William & Mary. He is the author of The Faiths of Postwar Presidents: From Truman to Obama (2012)\, and The Faith of Founding Fathers (2006). \n \nFree Admission. Free Parking. Reception follows program.
