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:\"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:Now or Never: Collecting\, Documenting and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history. Kelsey wrote\, “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.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918. Two Armenian manuscripts that were purchased as a consequence of the expedition are on display.\n\nLecture and opening reception will take place at 4 p.m. on January 14 in the Hatcher Library Gallery\, adjacent to the exhibit.\n\nExhibit materials are courtesy of the Bentley Historical Library and U-M Library Special Collections.

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.

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:Performance:Laith Al-Saadi
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Ann Arbor\, 36-year-old Laith Al-Saadi began singing at age four and began playing guitar at 13. At 15 he formed his first blues band\, Blue Vinyl. In short order they opened for blues greats like Buddy Guy\, Luther Allison\, Son Seals\, and Taj Mahal and toured the Netherlands. At the University of Michigan\, Laith was a member of the Johnny Trudell Orchestra and freelanced with Detroit greats like Thornetta Davis\, Jocelyn B\, The Reefermen. Laith is a real road warrior who generally can be found playing at least five nights a week around Michigan and beyond. He has opened for artists like Kenny Wayne Shepherd\, Leon Russell\, Robben Ford\, Johnny Winter\, Hubert Sumlin\, Olu Dara\, Ten Years After\, Mountain\, The Yardbirds and—most notably—B.B. King at the House of Blues in Chicago. Laith has released three albums\; his latest\, \"Real\,\" was recorded with an all-star cast of L.A. session legends including Tom Scott on sax\, Jim Keltner on drums\, and Leland Sklar on bass. The soulful new album harkens back to the great musical traditions of New Orleans and Chicago with a splash of blues\, country\, gospel\, and roots rock. Newly exposed to yet larger audiences at the 2015 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, Laith Al-Saadi is Michigan's own avatar of blues and roots music.
