SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama.

When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Land of Open Graves: Photographs from the Undocumented Migration Project
DESCRIPTION:This pop-up exhibition features Michael Wells' original photographs of Jason De Leon's Undocumented Migration Project\, which was the subject of a 2013 exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities gallery. The photographs were featured in De León's new book The Land of Open Graves Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nIn his gripping and provocative debut\, anthropologist Jason De León sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time—the human consequences of US immigration policy.  The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.\nJason De León is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan and director of the Undocumented Migration Project\, a long-term anthropological study of clandestine border crossings between Mexico and the United States. His academic work has been featured in numerous media outlets\, including National Public Radio\, the New York Times Magazine\, Al Jazeera\, The Huffington Post\, and Vice magazine.

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:Using Women Redux: Reflecting on Feminist Ethnography of Women on Drugs
DESCRIPTION:What has changed for those who are considering gender\, drugs\, and drug policy since Using Women: Gender\, Drug Policy and Social Justice was published 15 years ago?\n \nTwo decades ago when I began the project that grew up to be Using Women\, I concluded that the perils of feminist drug ethnography outweighed its promise. Fearing that drug ethnographies enabled the ‘ethnographic state’ to reach further into drug-using women’s lives and exacerbate their vulnerability to the state\, I was haunted by the unbearable weight of the historical repertoire of representations. At best\, feminist ethnographers produce realist accounts that can engender the effects of empathy\, authenticity\, reduced social distance\, and\, at best\, contribute to the de-stigmatization of illicit drug use. Yet the War on Drugs has intensified its effects on women\, differentially and at times spectacularly targeting pregnant and parenting women. How are we to make sense of gender and the War on Drugs? Recent feminist ethnographies of the gendered effects of the War on Drugs tell another story\, pointing both to the obduracy of the repository of cultural tropes to which I pointed in Using Women\, and the diversification of them through newly emergent modes of life and representation.\n\nNancy D. Campbell is Professor of Science and Technology Studies and Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research in the School of Humanities\, Arts\, and Social Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy\, New York. In 2014\, she was a Fellow at the University of Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS)\, working on her current research on overdose prevention as a social movement that links harm reduction\, healthcare\, and human rights.
