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.

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:Exhibition:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. 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:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Katsumi Nakao\, 2014-15 Toyota Visiting Professor\, Center for Japanese Studies\, University of Michigan\n\nBefore WWII\, the field of Japanese Studies originated from U.S. political motives. Ruth Benedict’s\, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword (1946) is widely known as an anthropological study of Japan that resulted from wartime research. I will describe the roots of Japanese Studies in the US\, as well as US development of the subject area from the wartime to post wartime.\n\nThe Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the Office of War Information (OWI) were two organizations through which many anthropologists were recruited into the field. Specifically\, I will focus on the background of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan from the historical anthropological research.\n\nKatsumi Nakao is the 2014-15 Toyota Visiting Professor at the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan\, and  Professor of Liberal Arts (history and anthropology) at J.F. Oberlin University in Tokyo. His professional career began with a Bachelor of Law degree from Chuo University. Later\, he received a Master of Law degree from Meiji University and a Doctor of Human and Environmental Studies degree from Kyoto University. Along with his professorial appointments\, he has also acted as a special assistant at the Consulate General of Japan in Hong Kong (1987-1989) and a researcher of Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (1989-1990). Currently\, Professor Nakao is conducting comparative work in Taiwan (aboriginal communities) and Japan (Fukushima) on radiation pollution from nuclear power plants.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Founder's Day Lecture\, \"Crossing the Gulf: Cuba\, Louisiana\, and the Diaspora of Saint-Domingue/Haiti\"
DESCRIPTION:Despite its famous storms\, the Gulf of Mexico has often served as a pathway for the exchange of people and ideas among the colonies and nations on its shores\, including the idea that persons could not be held as property\, and that all persons are entitled to the protection of the law. Rebecca Scott\, co-author with Jean Hébrard of Freedom Papers: An Atlantic Odyssey in the Age of Emancipation\, will explore the itinerary of one woman –  Adélaïde Métayer/Durand – whose journey in the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution illuminates the thin line between slavery and freedom. As she moved from one jurisdiction to another\, Adélaïde’s status crossed and re-crossed that thin line\, amidst great dangers for the children whose status was contingent upon hers.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ISP Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christiane J. Gruber\, associate professor of Islamic art\, U-M\n\nIn early June 2013\, Gezi Park became the staging ground for the most serious challenge to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s decade-long rule in Turkey. When police brutally cleared the Istanbul park of peaceful environmentalists\, a massive popular uprising was spawned\, lasting to the present day. Quickly five young men became the official “martyrs” (şehitler) of the Gezi movement. As violence claimed the lives of these young men\, an important question thus arises: what are the symbolic framings and functions of martyrs in a pluralistic consortium\, whose contours are largely shaped by a desire to preserve a secular\, representative democracy in the face of increasing authoritarianism displayed by the ruling Islamist AK Party?\n\nIn order to answer such questions\, this talk explores the rhetorical strategies and visual output that the Gezi Movement produced in Istanbul during 2013-14. In slogans\, chants\, graffiti\, digital art\, Twitter posts\, posters\, banners\, stickers\, processions\, sit-ins\, and performances\, the five martyrs are described as “immortal\,” whose deaths must be accounted for by the “killer government.” Emphasizing the notions of innocence\, immortality\, and omnipresence\, Gezi rhetoric about death engages with older Islamic religious beliefs and martyrial traditions while also constructing a new mythic reality within a largely secular register.\n\nIn addition\, these martyrs became the embodiments of the Gezi Resistance and its major aims. They symbolized the need to reclaim justice\, insisting that the government be held accountable in its social contract with all of its citizens. Sparking grief and sorrow\, these martyrs became the focal points for the expression of personal emotions while also contributing to the creation of Gezi’s laic rituals\, in which the figure of the martyr provided\, first and foremost\, undeniable physical evidence for the loss of human life via the breakdown of the rule of law.

SUMMARY:Other:Painter & Poets Project Unveiling and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a reception and viewing of the work\, followed by introductions and short readings from the poets at 5:30\, then informal discussion about the project with artist Frank Born\, the poets\, and curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nAbout the Painter & Poets Project: In the fall of 2014\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with the Department of English Language and Literature launched the Painter & Poets project.\n\nFor four weeks\, Brooklyn-based artist Frank Born set up studio in MLB as an institute visiting artist. Seven U-M poets were invited to participate in this unique project\, each taking time out from their busy schedules to sit for Frank to paint their portraits\, totaling  25-30 hours each over the course of his artist residency.\n\nThe project honors these remarkable creative people in our midst\, their ideas and contributions\, and the great value of poetry as a marker of human experience. It also serves to encourage the potential synergy between visual gesture and the written word.\n\nLastly\, like the proverbial “flower on the freeway\,” the painter’s open studio in MLB—surrounded by the frenetic comings and goings of campus—served as a reminder to slow down\, take notice\, have conversations\, and engage\, enriched by one another.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nBorn in Texas and educated at Duke University\, Frank Born has made a cultural home for himself in both his home state and his adoptive cities of San Francisco and Brooklyn\, New York. He is best known for his idiosyncratic\, gestural paintings. His commitment to the  the process of painting—the exchange between painter and subject—results in surprisingly intimate yet thoroughly modern portraits\, complex yet unencumbered. He has exhibited widely and in both galleries and museums.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series: Kent Monkman
DESCRIPTION:Through a variety of mediums\, including painting\, film/video\, performance\, and installation\, Kent Monkman explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience — the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience. His alter-ego\, Miss Chief\, appears in his work as an agent provocateur and trickster who upends received notions of history and indigenous people. Monkman has created memorable site specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, The Royal Ontario Museum\, The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival. Monkman has been awarded the Egale Leadership Award\, the Indspire Award and the Hnatyshyn Foundation Visual Arts Award.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shakey Graves with Special Guest Nikki Lane
DESCRIPTION:This show is sold out.\n\n“The first album was me wanting to burn down my life\, cut my hair off\, and run screaming into the woods\,” says Alejandro Rose-Garcia. “This album is the trials and tribulations of becoming domesticated\, letting people into your world and letting go of selfishness—the story of becoming a pair\, losing that\, and reconciling with the loss and gain of love.”\n\nRose-Garcia is professionally known as Shakey Graves\, and with his new record\, And the War Came\, he extends the ground—emotionally and sonically—broken by his 2011 self-released debut album\, Roll the Bones\, which brought him national acclaim and\, three years later\, still ranks near the top of Bandcamp’s digital best-seller charts.\n\nRoll the Bones established the powerful\, mesmerizing Shakey Graves sound of Rose-Garcia accompanying himself on guitar and a handmade kick drum built out of an old suitcase. NPR Music named him one of 10 artists music fans “should’ve known in 2012\,” describing him as “astonishing…unclassifiably original. And frighteningly good.” Paste included him in a “Best of What’s Next” feature\, praising his “gnarly composite of blues and folk\,” while The New York Times observed that Shakey Graves “makes the one-man band approach look effortless.”\n\nBut while this distinctive arrangement continued to earn him an ever-expanding fan base on the road\, Rose-Garcia knew that he wanted the follow-up to achieve something different. “With the first album\, I didn’t have any expectations except my own\,” he says. “This time\, I was making something people were going to listen to out of the gate. I tried to maintain everything I enjoy about recording\, the weird homemade aspect\, but I was seeking a new\, shining sound quality. The concepts for the songs are a little bigger. This is not the ‘Mr\, Folk\, Hobo Mountain’ album—it’s more of the Cyborg Shakey Graves. It’s definitely the next step in the staircase.”\n\nAn experienced actor who had a recurring role on Friday Night Lights and appeared in several of Robert Rodriguez films\, Rose-Garcia started making music as part of New York City’s “anti-folk” scene. While knocking around the underground music community in Los Angeles\, he saw a performance by one-man band Bob Log III that pointed his work in a new direction. Since returning to Austin\, Rose-Garcia has become so closely associated with his hometown that for the last three years\, Austin has celebrated “Shakey Graves Day” by mayoral proclamation.\n\nTo record And the War Came\, co-producer/collaborator Chris Boosahda brought all of his gear to Rose-Garcia’s house and converted the space into a big\, open studio. Though the signature Shakey Graves set-up remained the starting point\, other instrumentalists came in and multiple\, wildly different arrangements of the songs were attempted for what was initially planned as a double album.\n\nMost notably\, Rose-Garcia wrote and sings three of the album’s songs with Esme Patterson\, a solo artist and member of the Denver-based band Paper Bird. “We started out just having fun and writing\, and then that turned into some of my favorite songs on the album\,” he says. “We actually wrote ‘Dearly Departed’ on Halloween as a tongue-in-cheek\, haunted house sex joke\, and then we played it that night and people went bonkers. Esme and I write so similarly it kinda freaked us out\, and I really learned the power of writing music with someone you get along with.”\n\nSoon enough\, Rose-Garcia found that the experience of making the record was being mirrored in the songs themselves. “I was letting go of that one-man everything\,” he says. “I did need people’s help\, and my control freak nature had to subside a bit. It meant learning collaboration\, but also knowing when to stick to my guns—all of that was the experience of this year\, and the songs were some of the more genuine experiences\; some of them even became sort of prophetic.”\n\n“Only Son\,” a meditation on solitude (“I used to be an only son/My heart was like a stranger”)\, became the opening track and “thesis statement” for And the War Came. “Hard Wired” is not\, as it may first appear\, about a relationship falling apart\, but “about having friends with problems—watching a friend struggling and not doing anything about it.”\n\nThe themes of these ten songs\, explains Rose-Garcia\, return over and over to the idea of the “other.” “It’s not about any single person\, it’s about being that second\, other person. Even the title—I never thought about whether I was able to handle that aspect of things\, of having these relationships. And the War Came is a little bit of\, be careful what you wish for.”\n\nSongs like “The Perfect Parts” and “Family and Genus\,” meanwhile\, represent a very different sound for Shakey Graves. “Those have a lot more aggression\, they’re heavy and big\,” he says. “I’m a little worried because it is a new step out\, and people have gotten really precious about the stuff I’ve done—which is a huge compliment\, and a dream come true—but I’m interested in what a Shakey Graves song is to people.”\n\nAnother crucial influence on the direction of And the War Came has been Rose-Garcia’s lengthy and far-flung touring schedule (which has recently included stops at the Winnipeg and Newport Folk Festivals\, prior to a headlining run this fall). “I’m constantly flying places and moving at a fast rate\,” he says. “Imagining what it was like a year ago is almost incomprehensible to me now. I feel like I’ve almost seen too much this year—bands\, music\, places. And if that doesn’t affect you in certain ways\, then you’re doing it wrong.”\n\nWhile his remarkable success story continues to unfold\, Alejandro Rose-Garcia sees And the War Came as a pivotal step in the evolution of Shakey Graves. “This is a doorframe album\, as we’re going into a new building\,” he says. “It’s taste of everything—what might come in future\, which might include just guitar or the one-man band thing\, but not pigeonholed to any one sound. I wanted to open some stuff up and get people ready for wherever it’s going.”
