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.

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: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:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rosamund Bartlett\, writer\, scholar\, and translator\n\nThis talk will explore the translation history of Anna Karenina\, and the particular role played by Constance Garnett and Louise and Aylmer Maude in establishing Tolstoy’s reputation in the English-speaking world. This will lead to a discussion of some of the novel’s less well-known\, but surprisingly revealing aspects\, as seen from the grass-roots level of a contemporary translator\, and\, through a comparison of the fictional Anna with her real-life British contemporary Louise Jopling\, a reconsideration of the novel’s relationship to the “woman question” in late 19th-century Russia.\n\nRosamund Bartlett is a writer\, scholar and translator based in Oxford\, who specializes in both music history and literature. The author and editor of several books\, including Wagner and Russia\, Shostakovich in Context\, Chekhov: Scenes from a Life\, and Tolstoy: A Russian Life\, she has also received recognition as a translator\, having published two volumes of Chekhov’s stories and the first unexpurgated edition of his letters. Her new translation of Anna Karenina was published by Oxford World’s Classics in 2014.\n\nFormerly Reader in Russian at the University of Durham\, she maintains an active scholarly profile\, and has lectured on Russian and European cultural history at universities\, museums\, and public institutions around the world. She has a particular interest in the intersection between politics\, history and the arts\, and drew on recent research for her 2014 lecture series at the Art Gallery of New South Wales\, “From Impressionism to Blast: The Emergence of European Modernism on the Eve of the Great War.” She will follow this up in 2015 with lectures on “World War I and the European Avant-Garde.” She is a Trustee of the Anton Chekhov Foundation\, set up to preserve the writer’s house in Yalta\, and in 2010 was awarded the Chekhov 150th Anniversary Medal by the Russian government in recognition of her educational and charitable work.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Ban Ca Chia to Pan-Asian Experimentation: The Place of Chinese Music in Southern Vietnamese Traditional Music
DESCRIPTION:The myth that Vietnamese traditional music is simply a version of Chinese traditional music has been debunked by scholarship inside and outside of Vietnam since the 1960s\; however\, the role of Chinese music in contemporary Vietnamese traditional music performance is not as well understood. Ethnomusicologist Le Tuan Hung argues that Vietnamese musicians in the early twentieth century embraced Chinese musical aesthetics and techniques as an antidote to French colonial influence\; for example\, performers of don ca tai tu\, a “music for diversion” in southern Vietnam\, used the Guangdong nuance (hoi Quang) to flavor the standard repertoire. In the contemporary period\, musicians still use certain Chinese musical signs\; musicians of don ca tai tu and cai luong\, a kind of renovated theatre from southern Vietnam\, inject short and playful Chinese tunes into longer performances oftentimes eliciting laughter from audiences. More recently\, Vietnamese musicians build alliances with Chinese musicians during pan-Asian zither festivals and adopt Chinese playing techniques through the study of online videos. This lecture investigates the reasons why musicians continue to invoke Chinese musical signs in diverse ways in Vietnamese traditional music. For some\, deploying Chinese characteristics is simply humorous\; for others\, recognizing Chinese influence accentuates the musical distinctions between Chinese and Vietnamese music. A small number of musicians even argue that adopting specific Chinese techniques helps Vietnamese musicians build a music better representative of the Vietnamese “soul.” Chinese music is deployed\, therefore\, in diverse ways as an effective interlocutor as musicians seek to sustain Vietnamese traditional music.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Fiscal Policy Space: Changing the Discourse from City Fiscal Condition to City Fiscal Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\n\nWednesday\, March 18\, 2015\n1pm-2:30pm \n\nGerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, Betty Ford Classroom (1110)\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n\n\nMichael Pagano\, Dean and Professor of Public Administration\, University of Illinois at Chicago\n\nDescription \nTo effectively address the fiscal challenges confronting cities\, we cannot assume that that there is a mythical ‘average’ city or ‘best practice’ to prescribe\, nor can we assume that cities are created with the same set of responsibilities and legal authority. Meaningful comparative research can be used to develop a framework that city leaders can use to learn from each other and that better informs other public policy makers and government officials. We call the framework “The Fiscal Policy Space of Cities.” The FPS comprises five key attributes that constrain and frame city fiscal choices and behavior. The attributes are: the intergovernmental system\; the underlying economic base\; locally imposed legal constraints\; citizen and customer demand/need for services\; and local political culture.\n\nData from 100 cities over a 20-year period are collected and analyzed to cluster cities by similar FPS position\, to analyze fiscal policy actions that were adopted\, to assess the extent to which the shape of their FPS changed over the past two decades\, and to change the national political discourse about the state of city finances.\n\nMichael A. Pagano is Dean of the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois at Chicago\, professor of public administration\, elected Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration\, and former co-editor of Urban Affairs Review (2001-14). He is Project Director of an annual conference\, the UIC Urban Forum\, designed to address contemporary urban problems.  He has published five books\, including Metropolitan Resilience in a Time of Economic Turmoil\, Cityscapes and Capital and The Dynamics of Federalism\, and over 80 articles on urban finance\, capital budgeting\, federalism\, transportation policy\, infrastructure\, urban development and fiscal policy\; since 1991\, he has written the annual City Fiscal Conditions report for the National League of Cities and is currently the Principal Investigator\, with Christopher Hoene\, of a 3-year project funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to research city fiscal behavior and city financial adaptations during the Great Recession.\n\nSponsored by:\nUniversity of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nCitizens Research Council of Michigan\nUniversity of Michigan Nonprofit and Public Management Center\nUniversity of Michigan Center for Social Impact\n\nFor more information contact Bonnie Roberts 734-647-4091\; email closup@umich.edu\; or visit our website www.closup.umich.edu.

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:Reception / Open House:The Crown: Shani Peters and the Contemporary Construction of Self in America
DESCRIPTION:The 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:Performance:Solas
DESCRIPTION:The Philadelphia Inquirer has praised Solas for \"mind-blowing Irish folk music\, maybe the world's best.\" This Irish and Irish-American Celtic supergroup has not only captured the hearts and ears of fans in Ireland and all around the globe with their blend of Celtic traditional music\, folk and country melodies\, bluesy\, sometimes jazz-inspired improvisations\, and global rhythms. Their fans beyond the Celtic sphere include hip-hop producer Timbaland\, who sampled their music on his megahit \"All Y'all.\" Solas came together in 1996 with no plans to tour or record\, but popular demand led to international appearances and a series of acclaimed recordings. Their latest\, \"Shamrock City\,\" was called \"a deeply thoughtful\, imaginative collection of songs which grapple with the wealth of ideas and emotions inherent in the immigrant journey\" by FolkAlley.com Come see the band the Boston Globe (which ought to know) called \"the finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced.\"
