SUMMARY:Exhibition:CMENAS Special Event: This\, too\, is Iran
DESCRIPTION:In May 2015\, Sally Bjork\, photographer at the U-M Department of the History of Art’s Visual Resources Collections\, took part in a 16-day tour through major cities and regions of Iran led by U-M Professor of Near Eastern and Classical Art and Archaeology\, Margaret Cool Root\, for the Archaeological Institute of America. Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art.  Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries.  The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library.  \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center. Additional support has been provided by an anonymous donor’s fund for the study of Iranian art.\n\nPhoto Exhibit\nOctober 27-November 13\, 2015 • 8:00 am - 6:00 pm\nInternational Institute Gallery (1st Floor)\, 1080 S. University Ave.\n\nCMENAS Forum: an informal discussion with Sally Bjork\nNovember 2\, 1:00 pm\nInternational Institute (1636 SSWB)\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Stories of Mothers Lost
DESCRIPTION:Every minute of every day\, a woman dies of pregnancy related complications. Stories of Mothers Lost\, an exhibit of handmade quilts from around the world now on display in Lane Hall\, memorializes some of these women.\n\nThe exhibit was initiated by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA)\, a non-profit membership based organization\, whose goal is to reduce rates of maternal and child mortality. The initiative to obtain these stories was made possible by a United Nations Population Fund grant to the WRA. Following a global call\, there was an overwhelming response of 120 panels from 46 organizations. Stories of Mothers Lost -  a collection of internationally sourced\, hand crafted panels commemorating mothers lost – allows families to express grief and also plays a powerful role as a mechanism for advocacy and communication on an issue that transcends country borders and impacts us all.  \n\nStories of Mothers Lost is supplied by the UM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Program in Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice. The exhibit is hosted by the Women’s Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nStories of Mothers Lost is in Lane Hall through December 11\, 2015.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Returning Gifts of Art exhibiting artist Mary Cody designs colorful jewelry with a subtle message meant to inspire creativity and hope.

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:\"Sonya Clark\" Installation
DESCRIPTION:In \"Sonya Clark\,\" artist and 2014 ArtPrize-winner Sonya Clark exhibits existing and new work which considers the relationship between object and story\, including a new work that incorporates personal stories about hair derived from student engagement at the University of Michigan and from campuses nationwide.\n\nArtist Statement:\n\nI use craft and materials to investigate identity. Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us.  I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth?  What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries?  Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another.  A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Common Room: An EMU/Stamps Faculty Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Common Room finds connections between a selection of artists from the art department faculties of Eastern Michigan University and the Stamps School of Art and Design. Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex.

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: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: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:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\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 support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Corruption as a Last Resort: Adapting to the Market in Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Why do ordinary people engage in corruption? In this talk Kelly McMann argues that bureaucrats\, poverty\, and culture do not propel individuals in Central Asia into illicit exchanges. Rather\, corruption is a last resort when relatives\, groups in society\, the market\, and formal government programs cannot provide essential goods and services. Using evidence from her long-term research in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan\, McMann shows that Islamic institutions\, secular charities\, entrepreneurs\, and banks cannot provide the jobs and credit people need. This drives individuals to illicitly seek employment and loans from government officials. A leading cause of this resource scarcity is market reform\, as demonstrated by McMann's analysis of these countries as well as of Uzbekistan and global data. Market reform without supporting institutions\, such as credit registries and antimonopoly measures\, limits the resources available from the market and societal groups. From this research comes a useful policy insight: supplying ordinary people with alternatives to corruption is a fundamental and important anticorruption strategy.\n\nKelly M. McMann is associate professor of political science and director of the International Studies Program at Case Western Reserve University. She is also the project manager for subnational government for the Varieties of Democracy Project. Her publications include the books Corruption as a Last Resort: Adapting to the Market in Central Asia (Cornell) and Economic Autonomy and Democracy: Hybrid Regimes in Russia and Kyrgyzstan (Cambridge). McMann’s research in Russia\, Kazakhstan\, Kyrgyzstan\, and Uzbekistan has been funded by the National Science Foundation\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, Social Science Research Council\, and National Council for Eurasian and East European Research\, among other organizations. McMann received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2000 and conducted research at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University before working at Case.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?

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:Lecture / Discussion:EXCEL roundtable discussion: New Media Strategies for Music Distribution
DESCRIPTION:This roundtable discussion tackles a series of concerns facing musicians\, composers\, and producers in the 21st century. First and foremost\, it considers how innovative technologies and continually evolving social networks have changed the international field of music production and distribution\, while simultaneously shifting audience expectations and attitudes concerning music consumption. Secondly\, it engages one of the fundamental questions any modern musician must ask – should I give my music away for free? This panel contrasts some of the personal and professional pros and cons related to this decision\, particularly by drawing on the insights and experiences of local indie label director Jeremy Peters (Ghostly International – ghostly.com)\, and non-commercial Chilean netlabel directors and artists in residence\, Mika Martini (pueblonuevo.cl) and Pablo Flores (jacobinodiscos.cl). Finally\, as a key issue indelibly tied to all these concerns\, this panel will also address questions related to intellectual property rights\, with special consideration given to Creative Commons licensing platforms as an alternative to traditional copyright protections. This roundtable will conclude with an opportunity for audience questions and comments\, with the hope of stirring a lively conversation. \n\nPanelists include Christi-Anne Castro PhD\, associate professor of Ethnomusicology/director of Southeast Asian Studies\; Pablo Flores – director of Jacobino Discos Netlabel (Santiago\, Chile)\; Mika Martini – director of Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel (Santiago\, Chile)\; Jeremy Peters – director of Independent Music Label Ghostly International (Ann Arbor)\n\nMore info: http://music.umich.edu/excelrsvp

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:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhile economic theories of persuasion emphasize self-interest\, others posit an important role for other-regard. For example\, a salesperson might describe product features but also try to build rapport. We study these two mechanisms within a simple but rich experimental framework in which sellers\, in a free-form conversation\, try to convince buyers to raise their valuations for objects. We find that sellers benefit from communication despite their material conflict of interest. Communication affects both buyers’ self-interest and their other-regard. Changes in other-regard are mean zero\, but interestingly a minority of sellers target other-regard and substantially outperform their peers. More generally\, however\, who is buying is actually a better predictor of persuasion than who is selling. Buyer-seller homophily also strongly predicts persuasion: gender-match\, for example\, more than doubles the sellers’ expected gain.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Economics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe develop an equilibrium model of on-the-job search with ex-ante heterogeneous workers and firms\, aggregate uncertainty and vacancy creation. The model produces rich dynamics in which the distributions of unemployed workers\, vacancies and worker-firm matches evolve stochastically over time. We prove that the surplus function\, which fully characterizes the match value and the mobility decision of workers\, does not depend on these distributions. We illustrate the quantitative implications of the model by calibrating to US aggregate labor market data from 1951-2007. The model has rich implications for the cyclical dynamics of labor productivity and sorting.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: In Geol Kim\, Director\, Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies\, Seoul National University\n\nThis paper aims at explaining how public opinion (kongron) was articulated in the public sphere of local Chosŏn society\, by examining ‘Local Councils’ (Hyanghoe) and 'People's Assemblies (Minhoe)'\, which were private organizations important for gathering popular opinion during late 18th- and 19th centuries. An examination of these organizations sheds new light on their significance\, as well as their limits.\n\nThe situation of the late Chosŏn was that of confronting gradual change in the source of Kongron or public opinion\, from the literati class to 'all the people' who were out of political power. From the standpoint of the people of 18th and 19th centuries\, we can value the building of a new foundation of Kongron politics through local councils and people's assemblies. However people’s opinions were not being accepted by the central officials\, and Chosŏn society could not attain the phase of being equipped with a new institutional system of collecting the public opinions in the national level: these were the limits of Chosŏn dynasty politics. \n\nIn Geol Kim is the director of the Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies and professor in the department of Korean History at Seoul National University.  Author of many books on early modern Korean history\, his focus is on the rural society of the Chosŏn dynasty.
