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. Although he works with other subject matter\, his Stones Series is the most popular. His work has been shown in major art centers across the country and is in the permanent collections of over 200 individuals\, corporations and public institutions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Drawdown Vietnam\, April – May 1975
DESCRIPTION:America’s long involvement in the war in Vietnam and Indochina drew to a close in April - May 1975. As the city of Saigon fell to the advancing North Vietnamese Army\, the United States military evacuated thousands of South Vietnamese civilians to ships nearby.\n\nIn the midst of the chaos\, two smaller rescues took place – Operation Babylift\, in which more than three thousand children and babies were airlifted to safety\, and the rescue of the S.S. Mayaguez\, whose ship and crew were captured by forces of the new Cambodian Khmer Rouge government less than two weeks following the fall of Saigon.\n\nThe unfolding of these events are chronicled in two lobby displays at the Gerald Ford Presidential Library – complete with artifacts\, photographs\, documents and personal stories of those involved.\n\nThe exhibit is free to Library visitors\, and will be on display through September\, 2015. \n\nPlease note that the Library is NOT open on weekends or Federal holidays. Library hours are Monday – Friday  8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Women in Science
DESCRIPTION:Colorful comic book graphics in this panel exhibit invite young U-M Museum of Natural History visitors from every background to see themselves working in STEM fields (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics)\, and changing the world.\n\nDeveloped by Ann Marie Macara\, a fifth-year graduate student in the U-M Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\, the exhibit features four women scientists whose work had a major impact in their fields. These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n  \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

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:Jem Cohen
DESCRIPTION:The title of this multi-format photography and video installation by New York filmmaker Jem Cohen comes from the artist’s own characterization of his practice.\n	As he explains\, “The unifying core of my work stems from encountering the world as it unfolds. Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n	\nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n	We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n	\nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

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:Performance:Goitse
DESCRIPTION:Goitse (pronounced gwi-cha) is a Donegal Irish word meaning \"come here.\" This band\, whose members met as students at the University of Limerick\, is rooted firmly within Irish tradition\, but each member has achieved an individual fusion of traditional and contemporary styles. All are well known by themselves\; fiddler Aine McGeeney has toured with Lord of the Dance\, and Philadelphia-born multi-instrumentalist Conal O'Kane has studied and worked on both sides of the Atlantic. Put it all together with a big rhythmic orientation and the biggest jolt of youthful energy Irish music has seen in quite some time\, and you've got all the ingredients for a winter evening of Celtic chemistry. Goitse's latest album\, \"Tall Tales & Misadventures\,\" earned the band a Live Ireland award for Trad Group of the Year 2015.\n\nDinner and Show Package ($25) includes Dinner at Conor O'Neill's Irish Pub prior to show. Includes entreé from Irish Fayre menu and seating held at The Ark for the show. To choose the Dinner and Show Package\, please select General Admission and enter the quantity of tickets you would like to purchase next to \"Dinner and Show.\"
