SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Seafans & Fused Glass
DESCRIPTION:Janet Kelman began her love affair with glass in 1970. While studying chemistry in college\, she watched\, fascinated\, as the glassblower in her department created scientific equipment\, inspiring her to later teach herself lampworking (glass worked over a torch) and open a hot glass studio. Learning to scuba dive inspired her sculptural Seafan series. They reflect the undulating forms and luscious colors of coral reefs. Kelman’s fused glass squares resemble rushing water\, with matter floating downstream: twigs\, bugs and stones reflect the colors in the sky.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Stones Series: Painting on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:The paintings that comprise Stones Series by Michael Sheets had their genesis in a vacation he took on the shores of Lake Superior. Working from a small collection of stones gathered along the beach\, he produced the first of the series. In the 30 years since that canvas\, he has explored the many subtle nuances of color\, surface and composition inherent in the subject.

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: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:Mine More Coal: War Effort and Americanism in World War I Posters
DESCRIPTION:During World War I\, the American Government used a powerful poster campaign to rally all troops and farmers\, housewives and shipbuilders\, “old-stock Americans” and immigrants to the cause. Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and the acclaimed painter and printmaker Henry Reuterdahl.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sophie Calle: North Pole
DESCRIPTION:Following her mother's death\, French conceptual artist Sophie Calle wanted to bury her portrait and jewels on a glacier in the North Pole\, a place her mother had always dreamed of seeing. This multifaceted installation\, consisting of video\, photographs\, and a light box\, documents moments of Calle's journey to fulfill her mother's unrealized dream.\n\nNorth Pole / Pôle nord also includes three porcelain plaques on which Calle has inscribed a story about her voyage. The following text is an excerpt:\n\n\"I waited to reach the northernmost point on the trip in order to go ashore and bury my mother's jewels. L.\, my cabin-mate on the boat\, suggested that if the weather was not permitting\, I could still flush the ring down the toilet. The prospect would have made my mother laugh. But on Thursday October 2\, 2008\, the weather was fine. I ventured onto the glacier\, chose a beautiful stone and buried the portrait\, the necklace and the diamond. Now my mother has gone to the Arctic North. Will climate change carry her out to sea as far as the Pole? Will she be dragged down the valley towards the ice cap? Will she stay on that shore\, a marker of the Northern Glacier’s existence in the Holocene period?\"\n\nThe creative process that drives North Pole is characteristic of Calle's practice: she not only shares a story drawn from her own life\, but uses that moment to inspire further artistic exploration. Following a set of self-established behavioral instructions\, she transforms her daily life with a series of performative actions\, usually executed as a combination of texts and photographs. The result is a poignant reconsideration of the parameters of public versus private life\, through a body of work grounded in compelling\, and often very intimate\, personal investigation.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Rocks\, Paper\, Memory: Wendy Artin’s Watercolor Paintings of Ancient Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:An American artist who lives in Rome\, Wendy Artin has been working for over a decade on a series of watercolor paintings of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures and related subjects. This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Hands-On Demo: Marvelous Mendelian Mutants
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been curious about genes and inheritance? Gregor Mendel was. Over one hundred years ago\, he studied pea plants to develop theories of inheritance that are still relevant today! Even simple characteristics\, such as the number of petals on a flower\, or the specific coloring of a leaf are determined by a plant's genetic code and may change due to mutation. Join us for an inquiry activity highlighting Mendelian inheritance and plant development. Afterwards\, do a DNA extraction and learn about modern genetic research.\n\nHands-on demonstrations are 20-30 minute interactive programs on the 2nd floor of the Museum.​ ​They include both brief presentations highlighting University research and engaging hands-on activities\, and are suitable for adults and children ages 5 and up.

SUMMARY:Performance:Junior Brown
DESCRIPTION:If you haven't seen Junior Brown yet\, you need to \"guit with it\"! Junior Brown is a one-man musical hot fusion machine\, and he's coming to town with his guit-steel\, a unique hybrid contraption that's part electric guitar and part country steel guitar. People call him a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Ernest Tubb. But there's a lot more to say about Junior Brown. There's the fact that he's just about the best surf guitarist around\, for example. Or that he's a wonderful composer of traditional country songs\, the kind in which each outrageous pun leads you deeper into an emotional blind alley. Come check out the performer voted #1 House Rocker by the readers of Guitar Player! Junior's latest album\, \"Volume Ten\,\" features such Junior classics-to-be as \"Hang Up and Drive\" and \"Phantom of the Opry.\"
