SUMMARY:Other:Harnessing the Wind to Pump Water: Elementary School Outreach via GradSWE's SWEEET
DESCRIPTION:Join the GradSWE outreach team in this semester's SWEEET (Society of Women Engineers Elementary Engineering Topics). Volunteers will facilitate weekly hands-on sessions to build a wind-powered water pump over a course of 5-8 weeks. These one-hour sessions will begin in February at two local elementary schools.Please use the Doodle link to sign up and indicate all days/times that you are available. Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/kpg7qin4fd3dwvd7 We are using this Doodle to determine which DAY of the week\, and which TIME to schedule SWEET. Use this as an indicator of the DAY of the week\, not the DATE. SWEET is a weekly recurring program for 5-8 weeks. For example\, if Monday 9-10am is most popular\, volunteers will go to the school every Monday 9-10am for a few weeks. Substitute teachers will be available if you can't make it to one of your assigned weeks.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
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. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Performance:Albert Cummings
DESCRIPTION:Breaking every cliche associated with the blues while producing some of the most powerful music of the 21st century comes naturally to Albert Cummings. In his late teens he encountered the early recordings of Stevie Ray Vaughan and was floored by the virtuosity. While in college in 1987 he saw Vaughan perform\, and he returned to the guitar with a new outlook and resolve. Soon the whiz-kid carpenter was on the Northeast blues circuit with his band\, Swamp Yankee. In 2000 Albert released his debut recording\, \"The Long Way.\" Bluesprint magazine said it was “a barrage of guitar pyrotechnics that calls to mind a grand mix of the styles of past masters like Albert King\, Freddie King\, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix.” That in turn opened up an opportunity for him to work with Double Trouble\, the late Vaughan’s rhythm section. On his Blind Pig label debut\, \"True to Yourself\,\" released in 2004\, Cummings was again joined by bassist Tommy Shannon. Guitar One exclaimed: “He attacks his axe with unbridled ferocity and deep soulfulness … his depth and expression are matched only by his terrifying technique and tone.” Albert Cummings is a man of his times and the man for the times. He has built his own musical edifice that expresses his thoughts and dreams. It is a vision that alternately excites and soothes while also clearly providing a glimpse of his unlimited future. The best is yet to come.
