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: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: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.

Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

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:Speaker\, Ron Egan\, Chair\, East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Stanford University\n\nHong Mai’s massive Yijian zhi has often been mined by scholars for what its thousands of stories reveal about Song dynasty popular religion and social history. But Yijian zhi has less frequently been studied on its own terms as tales of encounters with the “strange” that circulated in Hong Mai’s world and were filtered through his hands as he collected\, wrote them down\, and arranged to have them printed. The collection takes on new interest when we think it this way\, as the pastime of an eminent court literatus and historian\, as well as a publication project that stretched over forty years in thirty-two installments and apparently catered to an acute thirst for such stories among contemporary readers. The talk will discuss the misgivings Hong Mai’s colleagues had about his activity as recorder and publisher of these tales that mostly feature the horror and retribution inflicted by supernatural beings (ghosts\, animal-demons\, local gods\, etc.) upon merchant-class persons and low level provincial bureaucrats. The apparent contradiction between Hong Mai’s official eminence and his avid collection of marvel tales (Hong’s “double life”) is significant for the way it calls into question some of our assumptions about high Confucian culture in the imperial period. The discrepancy is also helpful for understanding the nature of the material we find in Yijian zhi and for trying to account for Hong Mai’s self-acknowledged obsession with it.\n\nRonald Egan is Professor of Sinology in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Stanford University. His research is on Tang and Song period poetry\, aesthetics\, and literary culture. He is the author of  \"The Problem of Beauty: Aesthetic Thought and Pursuits in Northern Song Dynasty China\" (2006)\, and the translator of selected essays from Qian Zhongshu’s Guanzhui bian\, which appeared as \"Limited Views: Essays on Ideas and Letters by Qian Zhongshu\" (1998). His newest book\, \"The Burden of Female Talent: The Poet Li Qingzhao and Her History in China\,\" was published by the Asia Center at Harvard University in 2013.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Research Methods Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Stephanie Bethmann\, Ph.D.\, and Debora Niermann\, M.A.\, Research Associates\, Department of Sociology\, University of Freiburg\n\nIn a research landscape that is typically shaped by interview studies concentrating on individual experiences\, focus groups can remind us that social groups are central to sociological analysis. The workshop introduces a specific form of focus group\, known in Europe as \"group discussions\"\, that demands the researcher \"let go\" and allow the group to express themselves in their own emergent communicative style.\n \nOften focus groups are applied to efficiently gather opinions from a larger number of participants. But there is so much more to be gained from this research tool if the researcher takes into account the participants' interactions. By doing so\, focus groups enable us to understand collective experiences that shape the everyday-interactions within groups and communities. The analysis aims not at explicit opinions\, but at the workings of social groups.\n \nThe workshop begins with a focus group/group discussion on the topic of research experiences\, in which the workshop participants can join as discussants\, and thereby experience the method in action. Afterwards\, we will explain the benefits and procedures of group discussions as a means to understand collective experience and interaction in various research settings. Furthermore an approach to data analysis is introduced that takes into account the interactional dimension of the data.\n\nWorkshop is limited to 12 participants\, and is geared towards U-M graduate students and faculty.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Century of Creativity: Scandinavian Architecture from the Late 1800s to the 1900s
DESCRIPTION:Architecture in Europe in the late 19th century moved away from the direct use of historic styles. In the search for new ideas\, movements such as Art Nouveau and Jugenstil (literally \"youth style\") used natural and geometric forms\, respectively\, in building expression. Scandinavians added a variation to this that referred to their own past\, usually medieval\, architecture\, known as National Romanticism. Around the 1920s there was a brief return to Classicism\, and then after the Second World War a modern architecture developed which incorporated many of the ideas of these earlier developments. By the century's end Nordic architects had generally become part of a western modernism\, with less regional distinction.\nInstructor: King Marzolf.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Unnecessary Wars and Improbable Explanations
DESCRIPTION:An “unnecessary war” is a war in which the combatants engaged without articulation of a clear vision for ending the conflict or as an obvious next step in the development of internal or external policies.  An “unnecessary war” is contingent upon eminently avoidable errors.  Such wars also tend to generate their own specific kind of historiography stressing  “war guilt\,” “inevitable forces\,” “national character\,”   “stabs in the back\,” and “brilliants plans gone awry.”  It is sad but true that three of the most influential wars in European History share these characteristics\, and the lecture will explore the way that we have come to understand World War I (1914-18)\, the First Punic War (264-241 BC) and the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC).  These case studies allow us to see how patterns of memory are shaped as active elements in shaping societal aspirations for the future.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film Screening: Body Games. Capoeira and Ancestry (JOGO DE CORPO. CAPOEIRA E ANCESTRALIDADE)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Richard Pakleppa\, Matthias Röhrig Assunção and Cinézio Peçanha (Mestre  Cobra Mansa)\, 87 mins.\, 2014. Nyaneka and Portuguese\, Subtitles: Portuguese and English\nUK/Brazil/South Africa: On Land & Manganga Productions\, 2014.\n\nAwards: \n- Sembene Ousmane Film Development Award\, Zanzibar International Film Festival\, 2014 \n- Best Editing of a Documentary\, Portsmouth International Film Festival\, 2014\n\nJOGO DE CORPO/BODY GAMES tells a story driven by Mestre Cobra Mansa’s need to understand the ancestry of his art form\, Capoeira\, as part of a wider concern with his Afro-Brazilian heritage. By playing capoeira and engaging with Capoeira masters from Rio and Bahia\, Cobra takes us into a world of Africa in Brazil. It is the world of Capoeira\, where players kick\, spin and dodge to songs that evoke African ancestors\, the world of the enslaved and their masters and a mythical place called “Angola”.\n\nIn the real Angola Cobra Mansa follows the traces of a powerful Brazilian myth about Capoeira’s African origins. This myth links Capoeira to a legendary Angolan game called Engolo – the Zebra dance.   His search takes him and his friends to remote villages in southern Angola where Engolo players teach him “the art of bending with the wind” and tell him how some of them are being possessed by their ancestors whilst performing Engolo. They are introduced to different combat games\, acrobatic dances and the trance-like music of Angolan musical bows\, which all display some kind of affinity with Brazilian capoeira. Through an exchange of Capoeira and native art forms in the dusty villages of Angola\, Cobra and his team begin to understand the similarities and differences between combat games played on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nJOGO DE CORPO/BODY GAMES tells a story of combat games\, dances and music that connect Brazil and Africa from the time of slavery to the present.

SUMMARY:Performance:Good Lovelies
DESCRIPTION:The Good Lovelies are not your run-of-the-mill \"all-girl\" band. At a time when too many of us are affected by gloom\, doom\, and world events\, these three women are the perfect antidote. Recent winners of a Juno award for Roots Album of the Year and the New Emerging Artist Award from the Canadian Folk Music Awards\, the Good Lovelies are making waves across Canada and now beyond. Aptly named\, the Good Lovelies are Caroline Brooks\, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore\, all of them best friends and refugees from solo careers. They make up a folk-roots and western swing trio\, based in Toronto\, that relies on unerring three-part vocal harmonies\, clever songs\, and often convulsively funny repartee.
