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 works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. 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:Lecture / Discussion:INNER CITY VIOLENCE IN THE AGE OF MASS INCARCERATION
DESCRIPTION:Although Americans decry the violence on inner city streets\, few have considered how the War on Crime and historically high rates of incarceration have themselves created this violence. Indeed not only has intensive policing and mass 
incarceration created the conditions that lead to greater street violence in this nation’s already most fragile communities\, but it has also led to new levels of police violence in those same communities. Prof. Thompson will discuss the troubling ways in which 
violence and mass incarceration are linked and suggest the need for a serious policy shift. \n\nDr. Heather A. Thompson is Professor of History\, U of M’s Department of Afro-
American and African Studies. She has a B.A. in History from the University of 
Michigan and a Ph.D. in American History from Princeton University. She is the 
author of several books\, book chapters and numerous articles. She has been a guest speaker at universities throughout the world and was named “Distinguished Lecturer” by the Organization of American Historians.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is \"Violence: Its Roots and Reasons.\" The next lecture will be January 21 entitled \"The Violence of Mass Incarceration: Reform and a \"New Normal?\"?\n\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/programs_activities/lectures/3rd_Lecture_Series.pdf

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.

Despite this wealth of biodiversity\, other than the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae\, most species remain only minimally characterized. Here we use genome sequence analysis to retrace their evolution\, especially in several newly discovered wild species that have been domesticated in the fermented beverage industries. We also show how novel yeast lineages can be exploited for basic and applied research.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Aura of Atrocity: The Spanish Civil War and the Iconography of Affliction
DESCRIPTION:Since modern warfare targeted Western countries\, civilian population became both protagonist and victim of the new face of the conflicts: air bombings\, repression and rear-garde cleansing\, mass exodus and exile. More importantly\, these changes run parallel with new regimes of visibility to represent war in the making: light cameras\, illustrated press design\, newsreels\, and later television\, worldwide migration of images... \n\nAs commonly accepted by historians (see\, for example Susan Sontag’s last book\, Regarding the Pain of Others)\, the Spanish Civil War played an important part in this script as its iconography contributed to fix a considerable number of genres that would never disappear from 20th-20st conflicts.\n\nScarcely six years later\, in the spring of 1945\, astonished audiences would be shocked by similar images\, even though they had achieved an unprecedented degree of inhumanity: columns of refugees\, devastated bodies lying in camps\, civilians in despair hit by air raids... Yet\, the images from the SCW convey a different feeling: regardless of the violence they contain\, these photographs and footage seem surrounded by a mysterious aura. Some press correspondents used the word 'photogeny' to describe this singularity. What does this phrase mean when applied to human affliction and what are their limits?

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception: Converging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome artist Pawel Figurski to the University of Michigan and celebrate the exhibition opening.\n\nConverging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another. Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, Orthodox Christians to the Grabarka Monastery\, or Catholics to Czestochowa.\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

DESCRIPTION:October Babies was born when Japanese singer Toko Shiiki and bassist/arranger Erik Santos met in Tokyo in 2002\, while Erik was resident composer for the notorious butoh dance/theater group Dairakudakan. Soon after that\, Toko moved to the U.S. to study photography\, and the couple produced their debut CD \"Ao-zora Radio\" (Blue Sky Radio)\, named after Toko's monthly podcast. Joined then by electric strumming of Dale King and Mike Ouellette\, and the dynamic drumming of Ben Lorenz\, the October Babies have singular sound and a super-high-powered upbeat energy! Their songs are in Japanese and English—a catchy multicultural potluck of funk\, jazz\, R&B\, reggae/ska/dub\, techno\, Latin\, drum & bass\, rock\, surfpunk\, hip hop\, downtempo\, orch pop\, blues\, Okinawa folk\, aaaand .. everything. They've won major Japanese music competitions\, like J-Wave Music Hyper Market and Yahoo Japan Indies Jump\, and Toko was voted the Outstanding World/Reggae/Ska Vocalist at the 2011 Detroit Music Awards. Go Go Go! Southeast Michigan funk and soul outfit Third Coast Kings open\, and their horn section will join in on some of October Babies' songs.
