SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Light Within the Darkness of Nature: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Using palette knives and an intuitive response to her oil paints and surface\, painter Sheryl Budnik first looks carefully at the land or sea\, noticing her emotional response. She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Palettes & Paths: Bead Woven Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:Returning Gifts of Art exhibiting artist Mary Cody designs colorful jewelry with a subtle message meant to inspire creativity and hope. She freely combines tiny 24 kt gold\, palladium and glass beads in her original weavings by \"picking up the pieces\,\" a look that came by accident after costly beads scattered across the floor. Cody sees her work as representing the lessons in our lives – how unforeseen events are often prior to beautiful blessings. Her bead woven jewelry has been in fine art shows from Ann Arbor\, Michigan to Bellevue\, Washington and has been described as miniature works of stained glass.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Color of U-M Sports: Helicopter Photography
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the world’s only artist-photographer who works primarily from a helicopter\, Dale Fisher captures and transforms his subjects using color\, light and shadows – all while skimming over his subjects at ground speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Spirit of Place: Oil Paintings
DESCRIPTION:A full time painter\, Laurie Schirmer Carpenter studied art at the University of Colorado\, Denver but has deep ties to the Midwest. She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chrysopylae Video Installation by Doug Hall
DESCRIPTION:Doug Hall’s immersive two-screen video installation challenges the familiar picture-postcard vision of the Golden Gate with a pair of contrasting perspectives. Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CSAS Conference
DESCRIPTION:CSAS is pleased to announce that it will be holding an international conference on “Digital South Asia” this October. Since media and communication studies began in the 1970s\, its object of study has changed in fundamental ways. Media was at first thought of almost wholly within the frame of the nation-state\, and its national politics and culture. Since then\, the diffusion of continuing technological innovations\, driven by the world economy\, has changed the media landscape beyond recognition\, producing the ‘globalized’ world that we inhabit today. Situated within this larger frame\, this conference\, organized by Aswin Punathambekar (Associate Professor of Communication Studies)\, will bring together an international array of scholars with a shared interest in the rise of digital and mobile media technologies\, the ongoing transformation of established media industries\, and emergent forms of media practice and use that are reconfiguring socio-cultural\, political\, and economic terrains across the Indian subcontinent. The conference will also focus on the everyday lived experiences of audiences and publics—in South Asia and the South Asian diaspora—in their interaction with different kinds of media: old and new\, state and private\, elite and popular\, global and national.\n\nThe rise of digital and mobile media technologies\, and new forms of media practice and use associated with them\, parallels the emergence of new forms of commercial media and communications enterprises across the global South. Our primary aim in convening this international conference is to draw together hitherto scattered national\, comparative and transnational work on media and communication in South Asia\; and secondly\, in working through the overlapping themes of the conference\, to discover common areas of interest and emerging lines of enquiry for future research. The conference is organized around four themes\; a panel will be devoted to each of the following: “digital imaginaries\,” “digital media and the new political\,” “love and longing in digital South Asia\,” and “television’s newness.”\n\nThis conference is made possible by generous support from Ranvir and Adarsh Trehan and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts. Full details on conference participants and the schedule are here: http://www.ii.umich.edu/csas/events/conferences

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:Julie Rae Powers: A Coal Miner's Daughter Revisited Pop-Up Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:During my childhood coal was king. There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it.  –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Passionate Curiosities: Collecting in Egypt & the Near East\, 1880s–1950s
DESCRIPTION:What circumstances formed the artifact-biographies of the collected objects we see in museum display cases? Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

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:Class / Instruction:Film as Visual Art
DESCRIPTION:Film has become more spectacle and less art amidst digital effects and pyrotechnics.  We can rediscover how visually evocative and meaningful cinema can be by looking at and discussing some of the best photographed and edited films in screen history.  Here are the six films we are likely to examine: \"Bride of Frankenstein\" (USA\, 1935)\; \"The Third Man\" (England 1950)\; \"Days of Heaven\" (USA\, 1978)\; \"Blade Runner\" (USA\, 1982)\; \"Amélie\" (French\, 2001)\; and \"Girl with a Pearl Earring\" (Great Britain\, 2003).  \n\nThis study group for adults 50+ meets Fridays\, October 2 – November 6.\n\nInstructor Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film at U of M.\n\nFor more information click on the link:  https://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/593

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:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Passing for Mexican: Relational Identities in Latina/o Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The Latina/o Studies Program has invited Professor Frances R. Aparicio (Northwestern University)\, a former faculty member at U-M\, to give a talk on Friday\, October 2 at 11:30am in the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery (Room 100). \n\nProf. Aparicio will be spending the day at U-M. Her keynote talk will be followed by a lunch reception (free and open to the public). She will also have time to meet with students and faculty in smaller groups.\n\nThe title of Frances Aparicio's talk is “Passing for Mexican: Relational Identities in Latina/o Chicago.” She describes her talk as follows:\n\n\"Based on twenty interviews with Latina/o individuals who are of two or more Latin American national origins\, I identify three modes of 'passing' that allow Intralatina/os a sense of belonging within the 'contextual dominance' of Mexican Chicago. In these relational power dynamics\, second-generation Intralatina/os engage the slippages between the 'Mexican' and 'Latina/o' common in dominant discourses\, their affective (dis)identifications with the larger Mexican community\, as well as their own family histories that inform their personal and social negotiations as they struggle to belong in Latina/o Chicago. I propose new 'horizontal hierarchies' that can reveal these relational negotiations among US Latina/os.\"\n\nThe Latina/o Studies Program has organized this event as a part of Latina/o Heritage Month and the 80th Anniversary Celebration of the Department of American Culture.\n\nFrances R. Aparicio is Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Director of the Latina and Latino Studies Program at Northwestern University. She has previously taught at Stanford University\, University of Arizona\, University of Michigan\, and University of Illinois at Chicago.  Her research interests include Latina and Latino literary and cultural studies\, the cultural politics of U.S. Latina/o languages\, Latina/o popular music and dance\, literary and cultural translation\, cultural hybridity\, transnationalism\, Latinidad\, and mixed Latina/o identities. \n\nShe is author of the award-winning Listening to Salsa: Gender\, Latin Popular Music and Puerto Rican Cultures (Wesleyan 1998)\, and co-editor of various critical anthologies\, including Tropicalizations:  Transcultural Representations of Latinidad (University of New England Press\, 1997)\, Musical Migrations (Palgrave\, 2003)\, Hibridismos culturales (Revista Iberoamericana\, 2006)\, and The Routledge Companion to Latino/a Literatures (with Suzanne Bost\, 2013). \n\nA founding editor of the Latinos in Chicago and the Midwest Book Series at the University of Illinois Press\, she has facilitated and fostered book publications and new research on Latina/os in the Midwest. She is currently writing on “Intralatina/o subjects\,” individuals who are of two or more national Latin American origins.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Artifacts of Emotion: Historical Documents and Their Affective Contexts
DESCRIPTION:This workshop probes how physical and emotional contexts surrounding the creation and circulation of historical documents are integral to the meanings the documents convey\, even when such contexts leave little trace in the documents themselves. The documents discussed are a much-used and much-loved Renaissance account of how Jesus’s house flew to Italy\; a collection of self-produced audio tapes circulated in the 1980s United States among sound artists\; and late-twentieth-century laws on licit/illicit sex that had unintended consequences for American gay men. By juxtaposing these documents\, and excavating their publics\, the workshop explores how historians’ sources once expressed more than they now actually say. Panelists include:\n\nCarol Symes\, Associate Professor\, History\, Theatre\, and Medieval Studies\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\;\nScott De Orio\, Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women's Studies\, University of Michigan\;\nPascal Massinon\, Ph.D. Candidate in History\, University of Michigan\;\nEmily Price\, Ph.D. Candidate in history\, University of Michigan\;\nPaolo Squatriti (chair)\, Professor of History and Romance Languages and Literatures\, University of Michigan.\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Material: Woven Values
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Material is a traveling show of work conceptually responding to the history of fiber as a craft as well as the materiality of textiles work. The first exhibition\, Pattern’s Presence\, was during January 2014 at Grand Valley State University’s Padnos Art Gallery. Since then it’s traveled to East Lansing’s Scene Metrospace in January of this year\, then to Have Company in Grand Rapids in March. This is it’s third conception\, showcasing many new artists.\n\nBeyond Material is curated by Kate Garman. She is an independent curator and artist\, currently living in Grand Rapids. In between curating Beyond Material\, she has also had the opportunity to expand her own work through multiple exhibitions\, both collaborative and solo. By day she is a designer for Scott Group Custom Carpets\, still allowing time to complete various artistic side projects.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles
DESCRIPTION:Slusser Gallery\nSeptember 8 — October 3\, 2015\nOpening reception: 5 - 8 pm\, Tuesday September 15. Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:State of Exception at ArtPrize
DESCRIPTION:State of Exception debuted at the Institute for the Humanities gallery in 2013. This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

DESCRIPTION:The sixteenth century was perhaps the most illustrious phase of Polish cultural history. During this period\, Poland drew great artistic inspiration from the Italians and styles and tastes characteristic of the late Renaissance were imported from Italy (as well as France and the Netherlands)\, while at the same time saw a flourishing Reformation movement. Join Rose Ensemble Founder/Artistic Director Jordan Sramek for a fascinating look at Kraków - a cosmopolitan gathering place for artists and intellectuals (and which served as the royal capital until 1611)\, and its unique relationship with Italy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Tyree Guyton: A Thirty-Year Journey
DESCRIPTION:The Heidelberg Project is one of the largest\, best-known\, and longest-running site-specific art installations in the country. Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Leyya Tawil
DESCRIPTION:SMTD alumna Leyya Tawil (BDA ’97\, dance) will do a laboratory is based on her dance score \"Day of the Innocents\". Students will be led through a series of movement and conceptual experiments dealing with time repetition\, and curiosity. The practice will begin with experiential anatomy and techniques addressing the nervous system. Tawil will then teach material from \"Day of the innocents\" as a way of investigating how and why to approach movement in the context of a research-based performance. \"Day of the Innocents\" was recently workshopped in Berlin at DOCK11 and continues its development in Suomenlinna-Finland with Jason Lescalleet and Heidi Alasuvanto.\n\nEach session features a different guest artist who teaches a masterclass and sections from their repertory—this panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the student’s awareness of what career possibilities are out there. The guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. \n\nIn the final 15-20 minutes faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q and A interviewing each guest artist about their career and what recommendations they have about the transition from student to professional and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Time Is It? Tyree Guyton\, New Work
DESCRIPTION:The fifteen works of art presented in “What Time Is It?” emerge from Guyton's well-known Heidelberg Project\, a dynamic outdoor intervention covering two city blocks in the Paradise Valley neighborhood of southeast Detroit. It is work that addresses the difficult social and economic challenges that the citizens of Detroit have faced over the last fifty years. This exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Shodo – Japanese Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of brush strokes.  It began in China\, but in Japan both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined to create a uniquely Japanese art.  By controlling the thickness and tone of the characters\, the calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought.  The drawing process encourages calming of the mind and peacefulness.  \n\nThere is a $5 class materials fee for this adults 50+ study group and tools are provided for class room use only. Because we will be using black ink\, it is advised to bring a smock or cloth that can be washed.\n\nInstructor:    Konomi Shinohara Corbin\n\nFor more information click on the link:  https://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/599

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sustainable Systems Forum
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nDrawing on data attained through Freedom of Information Act requests to the United States Environmental Protection Agency two main points are illustrated: First\, even in countries with stable regulatory structures (such as Canada and the United States)\, data on the transfer of hazardous materials is unevenly collected and rarely analyzed. Second\, even when the best available data are collected and analyzed\, a high degree of uncertainty remains. Attempts to overcome these problems through a current research project that visualizes this newly-created data\, while also alerting us to remaining inconsistencies and uncertainties is discussed.\n\nBio\n\nSarah A. Moore is assistant professor of Geography at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research focuses on the political economy and regulation of hazardous waste trading in North America on which she has published in journals such as Progress in Human Geography and The Professional Geographer. With Paul Robbins and John Hintz\, she is author of Environment and Society: A Critical Introduction.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Molecular geochemistry of redox proxies. Molybdenum speciation: The missing piece toward a new model?
DESCRIPTION:Since the development of life on Earth was so deeply tied with the presence of oxygen in the ancient ocean and atmosphere\, it is vital to understand when\, how and why Earth’s oxygen concentration has risen and fluctuated since the Great Oxidation Event ( 2.4 billions years ago). To achieve these goals\, the geoscience community needs to rely on indirect geochemical indicators sensitive to the presence or absence of oxygen: The paleo-redox proxies. \n\nAmong the redox sensitive trace elements (RSTE)\, molybdenum (Mo) has emerged as a powerful tool to reconstruct oxygen fluctuations in modern and ancient aquatic systems. Two reasons explain this popularity: (1) Mo enrichments in sedimentary records are correlated with a gradient toward euxinia\; (2) Mo isotopes are supposed to capture the isotopic seawater signature and thus fingerprint the relative amount of oxygen. Many studies have used Mo systematics to investigate early Earth’s oxygenation\, yet sometimes these two approaches led to ambiguous results. \n\nSurprisingly\, beside the reactions involving iron and manganese oxyhydroxides under oxygenated conditions\, our knowledge regarding the possible pathways leading to Mo burial in presence of sulfide are quite limited and probably too simplistic. The irony of the situation being that Mo is mainly determined to detect past sulfidic conditions…\n\nWith the ambition to propose an updated model describing Mo burial pathways under non-oxygenated conditions\, my group has explored Mo speciation in several anoxic and euxinic settings and developed new analytical methods. During my lecture\, I will present our latest findings and hopefully will convince you of the importance of incorporating RSTE speciation (molecular geochemistry) in your future projects involving paleo proxies.

SUMMARY:Other:Change it Up! Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As healthcare workers\, we all encounter less than ideal situations at our jobs\, as well as outside of the workplace. Come to the Change it Up! workshop to learn what you can do to change the dialogue and learn the ways you can intervene in these types of situations. Of course we will have dinner provided for all attendees! This event is hosted by MICNP UMSN and the SON.Change it Up! is based on a nationally recognized four-step bystander intervention model that develops students’ skills and confidence when intervening in harmful situations. Change it Up! explores how students’ identities and experiences impact their interactions inside and outside of the classroom. Through interactive theatre\, students apply the four steps to real-life scenarios and have an opportunity to practice and discuss how they can leverage these skills within their campus communities.Goals for Change it Up! participants:Identify self-awareness and social responsibility as qualities of leadershipBuild knowledge of others’ identities and perspectivesIncrease motivation to intervene in harmful situationsRecognize multiple options for effective interventionDevelop skills and confidence to intervene

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: |SPECIAL EVENT| Masimba Hwati
DESCRIPTION:Zimbabwean multi-disciplinary artist Masimba Hwati examines postcolonial themes by re-appropriating archives and objects and presenting them in new contexts. With an emphasis on sculptural work\, Hwati collects historical\, culturally imbued items ranging from cars and shoes\, to scrap metal and found objects\, altering and repositioning them in a contemporary urban setting.  Featured in the 2015 Venice Biennale\, Hwati’s work\, “Urban Totems” questions the views of Ubuntu in the 21st century by investigating how technology has compromised humanity. He has been in solo and group exhibitions in France\, Germany\, Australia\, Botswana\, and Zambia\, and has collaborated with artists from Detroit\, South Africa and Southern Africa.\n\nIn partnership with the Zimbabwe Cultural Center of Detroit.

SUMMARY:Performance:Melissa Ferrick
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Ferrick is an indie singer-songwriter from Boston\, Massachusetts. She's releasing her 12th original studio album in July of 2015. Melissa is choosing to self-title this release as it marks a \"return to self\,: She re-launched her record label\, Right on Records\, by building a new online member-based platform with a colleague.An evolution in the sound she has developed over the course of her expansive career and catalog\, the record is also a creative departure in its collaborative approach to the recording process for the multi-instrumentalist. The result is a raw\, rootsy record set to a sweeping Americana/alt-country soundtrack that layers pedal steel guitars and background harmonies into some of the lushest\, brightest songs of Melissa's 20-year career.
