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:Conference / Symposium:Michigan/Mellon Symposium on The Egalitarian Metropolis
DESCRIPTION:Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning along with the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts presents this inaugural Michigan/Mellon symposium.\n\nContemporary thinking on egalitarianism has focused on the flattening of social hierarchies\, altering systemic obstacles to equality\, radically transforming institutions that uphold exclusive access to collective resources and critiques of market capitalism. This inaugural Michigan/Mellon symposium explores the following themes as a way of opening up a new integration between contemporary urban design and humanities discourse: Rethinking Modern Orthodoxy\; Privatization and the Commons\; Capital and Justice\; and Political Space of Media. Participants will move between ideological discussion and locally specific conditions and between the pragmatic and the speculative. Envisioned as a roundtable\, our symposium is intended to maximize discussion. Each panelist will prepare brief presentations addressing a topic s/he believes to be especially significant. Panelists may focus on the program’s three main cities (Detroit\, Mexico City\, and Rio de Janeiro)\, or they may discuss related cities as well. We expect this will generate a myriad of useful points from which a productive discussion will take place.\n\nThe Michigan/Mellon Project on Egalitarianism and the Metropolis is a 4-year academic and research initiative focused on architecture\, urbanism and humanities research in Detroit\, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. It is made possible by a $1.3 million grant from the A. W. Mellon Foundation. The project allows design theory and practice to inform and be informed by questions of social justice\, social movements and transformative creative arts movements--both past and present. The emphasis on cities and their specificity will focus humanists on linking theories of human interaction and collective life with the physical space of a city and its histories. The increased expertise in urbanism allows for humanists to better understand the market forces and economic constraints that inform design decisions that directly affect human life.\n\nEgalitarianism remains a useful framework for examining the contemporary metropolis because it contains a theory of value based on both the inherent equality of individuals and on some notion of a fair distribution of resources to individuals. Egalitarianism is thus a more ample construct through which to view the challenges and opportunities of today's modern metropolitan regions\, because it does not assume a market-based or capitalist-driven imperative. Rather\, egalitarianism can be used to ask what if the underpinnings of resource distribution\, transportation\, housing allocation and industrial wast management were in the service of the most equitable allocation of goods and services. Given the reality that contemporary metropolitan regions and post-industrial cities fall well short of this goal\, egalitarianism then allows us to ask what is the best way to reduce or mitigate the harmful inequalities.\n\nTentative Schedule:\n8:30 am - 9:00 am - Registration/Light Breakfast\n9:15 am - 9:25 am - Opening Remarks\n9:25 am - 9:45 am - The Egalitarian Metropolis\n9:45 am - 11:15 am - Panel 1: Rethinking Modernist Orthodoxies\n11:20 am - 12:50 pm - Panel 2: Privatization and the Commons\n12:50 pm - 2:00 pm - Lunch\n2:00 pm - 3:30 pm - Panel 3: Capital and Justice\n3:35 pm - 5:30 pm - Panel 4: Political Space of Media (Film Screenings 3:35 pm - 4:15 pm)\n5:30 pm - 6:00 pm - Closing Remarks

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: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:Performance:The Verve Pipe Kids' Show
DESCRIPTION:With sales of three million albums worldwide and a reputation for spectacular live performances\, the Verve Pipe was one of Michigan rock and roll's great success stories of the 1990s. Formed in East Lansing\, the band gained a following for its textured rock songs distinguished by inventive arrangements\, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. After being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called \"Calling All Kids\,\" the band found that the creative sessions yielded far more than just the one track. This led to an idea of a complete album of family-friendly songs\, and \"A Family Album\,\" was born. Nominated for its annual best kids' CD award by Nickelodeon's Parents Connect\, it's an energetic collection of guitar-based tunes on such topics as breakfast cereal and getting up in the morning. The Verve Pipe is back\, and they're ready to reach a new generation!

SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:FOKUS presents VANGUARDS 2015: VOICE
DESCRIPTION:Free food\, art\, music\, games - everything you need to end a great semester and kick off a much needed summer! \n\nFeaturing ROCNATION Recording Artist & Detroit's very own Mayaeni\, Citywide Poets (Detroit\, MI)\, AnnaMalistiik\, Yada Yada\, and more! We will also have a sexual assault awareness installation by I Will\, a journal group led by a NELP alum\, a photo booth\, and more!\n\nVANGUARDS 2015: Voice\nThe University of Michigan has historically been a haven for activism and social change\, offering the perfect environment to stand up and make your voice heard. In the past\, these movements have created community and brought people together. This year there has been a resurgence of activism\, but instead of bringing people together\, this movement has focused on our differences instead of focusing on what we have in common. Within each of our distinct races and social identities\, we are all students\, and more importantly\, we are all artists. VANGUARDS: VOICE seeks to bring people from every part of campus together\, with art as the common medium\, to remind us that we share this common thread.\n\n| ABOUT FOKUS |\n\nFOKUS nurtures success in communities by exposing community members to unexpected art experiences. This exposure helps them discover their own creativity and use it to better their communities. One driving force of the organization is to highlight the fact that art plays a role in everything from education to entertainment to activism to health to community building and much more. We believe that the arts enable people to rise above barriers in society by creating new ways of thinking\, communicating and interacting. FOKUS’s mission is to educate\, empower and unite communities through the arts. \n\n| WHAT IS VANGUARDS? |\n\nVANGUARDS is an annual event that started in April of 2005 that is produced by FIGHTING OBSTACLES KNOWING ULTIMATE SUCCESS (FOKUS).  Modeled with respect to a classic block party\, Vanguards is FOKUS’s flagship event\, showcasing and introducing the FOKUS vision of inclusivity\, fun\, creativity\, and collaborative learning to a wide array of students\, professors\, staff\, and Ann Arbor community.\n\n| ENTERTAINMENT |\nThis year we are bringing out several performers. Headlining the event will be Detroit-based singer and guitarist Mayaeni\, who is signed to RocNation Records and is the Midwest’s most up-and-coming artist. CityWide Poets\, a Detroit-based poetry troupe composed of high school students\, will accentuate Vanguards with a main stage performance. Drop-in workshops\, student performances\, and collaborative activities with other student led organizations will round out the event. After the event\, we will create a portfolio of visual\, spoken\, and written expressions of voice shared at VANGUARDS 2015.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Korean Cinema NOW
DESCRIPTION:Background: Though fictionalized\, the film is based on real-life scientist Hwang Woo-suk\, who was at the center of one of the largest investigations of scientific fraud in recent memory. Hwang\, then a professor of biotechnology at Seoul National University (SNU)\, gained international renown in 2004 after claiming that he had successfully carried out experiments cloning human embryonic stem cells. In 2005\, an anonymous tip from whistleblower Ryu Young-joon\, a former researcher at Hwang's lab\, led to MBC program PD Notebook uncovering Hwang's ethical violations and fabricated data\, which was confirmed by an SNU investigative panel in 2006. Hwang's research was discredited and in 2009\, a South Korean court convicted him of embezzlement and bioethical violations.\n\nStory: TV news producer Yoon Min-cheol is desperate for a scoop for his investigative journalism program PD Chase. One day\, he receives a tip that The Newman Medical\, the biggest sterility clinic in Korea\, buys ovum illegally. But while investigating\, he is shocked to discover that scientist Lee Jang-hwan seems to be involved in the case. Lee had gained widespread acclaim and press attention following his groundbreaking experiments cloning human embryonic stem cells\, and is considered a national hero whose research may mean the cure to several illnesses. As Yoon hesitates whether to pursue such a revered and powerful figure\, he gets an anonymous call from Shim Min-ho\, a young scientist who works for Lee's lab. Shim claims that Lee's stem cell research has largely been fabricated and unethical\, and the two join forces to expose Lee's scientific fraud and bring the truth to the public\, despite its disbelieving and harsh reaction.\n\n2014  |  114 Minutes  |  Directed by Yim Soon-rye

SUMMARY:Performance:Liz Longley
DESCRIPTION:For painters\, the joy and challenge of creation begins with a blank canvas. For Liz Longley\, it started in an empty room. “I was living in Boston and my roommate had just moved out\, so I paced the hardwood floors of her room with my guitar\,” Longley recalls. “I walked back and forth until the songs were done. It was as though they were stuck in the apartment walls.”\n\nLongley has a gift for culling musical treasures as though straight from thin air. And now\, the Berklee College of Music graduate and award-winning songwriter is set to share them with listeners on her self-titled album—her first after signing with Sugar Hill Records in December 2014. The collection of 11 songs was recorded in Nashville with an all-pro band—and in a pulse-quickening fashion so rare in today’s world of overproduced\, airbrushed records. “I love being in the studio and feeding off the energy of other musicians. It’s not something I get to do often on the road because I’ve mostly toured solo.” While Longley’s songs and vocals invite complimentary comparisons to Shawn Colvin\, Paula Cole and Nanci Griffith—all artists she’s supported live—her latest effort spotlights a style and confidence that’s all her own. You can hear it in the subtle-yet-soaring vocals on “Memphis\,” the dagger directness of “Skin and Bones\,” the bittersweet farewell that drives “This Is Not the End” (featured in the 2012 season finale of Lifetime's Army Wives). They’re all cuts that dare you to hold back the goosebumps.\n\nIn fact\, Longley’s singing never fails to thrill and enthrall. Her voice and tone\, touched with the slightest of country inflections\, pours out like clean\, crystalline water. Still\, she can roar like a waterfall or flow effortlessly along the bed her backing band lays down\, as on “Peace of Mind.” The track showcases Longley yearning after silence and stillness to beat back demons of self-doubt.\nThe new songs grew amidst a period of transition and travel in her life\; moving between Boston and New York before finally settling in Nashville\, and spending much of her life on the road in a succession of minivans. To that end\, the songs have been road tested at Longley’s live shows\, their power to connect with fans beyond question.\n\nThese numbers pack the punch of pages torn from Longley’s journal. And fans have rewarded her transparency with tangible loyalty. For while many acts have no clue how an album will be received\, Longley started her project knowing just how much her fans wanted her to succeed. It’s like this: Her Kickstarter campaign\, which set $35\,000 as an album-funding goal\, exceeded that amount by nearly 60 percent\, raising $55\,000. “We reached the mark so quickly and I’m just really\, really lucky to be connected to my fans\,” she says. “I feel like they’ve adopted me—like I have this big supportive family.”\n\nAnd to that end\, Longley confides with you as though you’re sitting on the sofa with her in a talk that’s intimate and vulnerable. “Bad Habit” strides the valley road of heartbreak\, its pounding toms and plaintive electric guitar providing an ideal frame for Longley’s vocal\, the very portrait of love’s rock bottom: “I couldn’t stand the smell of smoke ’til he lit that cigarette/ Never felt the temptation ’til I smelled it on his breath.”\n\n“I wrote it after dating a guy who had a lot of bad habits\, and somehow he became my bad habit\,” Longley recalls. “He was just one of those people—a smoker and a drinker who also had a habit of cheating. When I broke up with him and wrote the song\, it was hugely therapeutic for me. It cleansed him from my system. And when I started playing it live\, I realized that so many others had toxic people in their lives.”\n\nWhy write and sing songs so transparent and confessional? For Longley\, it boils down to the simple truth of authenticity. “I just try to be myself\,” she says. “If I feel like a song is not genuine to me\, I absolutely do not present it because people see right through it. It’s all about the honesty\, and I try not to overthink it—then it would lose some of the magic.”\nLongley first felt the magic while growing up outside of Philadelphia. A song she wrote in ninth grade—her first ever—earned a standing ovation when she performed it for the student body: “I was unprepared for that sort of reaction and it was life-changing moment\,” she says. “That’s when I knew it was what I wanted to do with my life.”\nThe track record she’s assembled since shows just how much Longley grew into her dream. She’s taken home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country\, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition\, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest Songwriting Competition. But it all traces straight back to Longley’s first song. She says she’ll continue to open her soul in the service of her art because that’s what matters most to her. “Every time I get into these songs they resonate with me\, lock with me\, because they’re based on something I went through\,” she says of the new collection. “I hope they connect with people and that they’ll help with whatever they’ve gone through. That’s what music does for me\, and I hope I can do that for someone else.”\nAfter all\, what better way to fill an empty room than with fully realized music?\n\nTexas-born songwriter Brian Wright opens.
