SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006. All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

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.

DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

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:Lecture / Discussion:\"Bodies of Knowledge: A Talk by Dr. Debotri Dhar\"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a brown bag lunch to hear Professor Debotri Dhar\, Jean Campbell Visiting Scholar at U-M’s Center for the Education of Women\, and Lecturer in Women’s Studies\, speak about her research works-in-progress. \n\nDr. Dhar will present key insights from her monograph Violence\, Knowledge and the Female Body: Interrogating Rape Narratives\; a forthcoming co-edited volume Education in South Asia and the Indian Ocean Islands\; as well as an article on feminist theory\, comparative religion\, and love. Dr. Dhar’s transdisciplinary research explores\, though the lens of gender\, the intersections between disciplines\, epistemic frames\, theory and praxis\, in order to ask critical questions pertaining to gender\, sexual violence\, and education.\n\nThe talk will interrogate how hegemonic understandings of “bodies” — seen in terms of both gender and knowledge — frame and mediate national and transnational initiatives on sexual violence and education. Dr. Dhar is particularly interested in situating these initiatives within the difficult dialogues between “the east” and “the west\,” in light of past and present colonial practices\, to examine the possibilities and limitations of love as a (feminist) method.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please feel free to bring your lunch. Indian appetizers will be ordered so please RSVP below!\nhttp://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/bodies-knowledge-talk-dr-debotri-dhar/20160121

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Thing-System of Soviet Productivism: Building the Economy of Storage in the Late USSR
DESCRIPTION:In my talk I explore late Soviet views on specificities of socialist commodity and commodity context\, moving beyond the powerful paradigms of “the culture of shortage” and “the economy of scarcity” that defined the studies of socialist consumption for the last few decades. My goal is to show that by displacing “scarcity” as the primary explanatory lens on Soviet consumption\, we can clear up some analytical and ethnographic room for processes\, practices\, concepts\, or paradigms that have been routinely overshadowed by the politically charged emphasis on shortages. I am less concerned with the political management of shortages through which socialist bureaucracy increased its “allocative power.” Instead\, I want to foreground the economy of storage by tracing the emergence of what Boris Arvatov\, a Soviet theorist\, called a thing-system (veshchnaia sistema)—that is\, a historically specific constellation of tangible objects\, institutional infrastructure\, classification protocols\, and ideological values which determined the parameters of the commodity context in late Soviet society.\n\nThe change of perspective\, I hope\, can modify the interpretative matrix: for instance\, what is perceived now as the ill-conceived “overmanning” (hoarding of labor) might reemerge as a historically available mode of (working-) class production\, or what seems as the irrational overstocking of commodities could reappear as a crucial material precondition for stimulating centripetal tendencies in an otherwise fragmented country. As I will demonstrate\, the will to rationalize the production\, accumulation\, and redistribution of objects of consumption triangulated a particular emphasis on materiality of objects able to satisfy rational needs (use-value)\, a specific economic formation for integrating space\, things\, people\, and classificatory models (Soviet storage economy)\, and a distinctive set of moral assumptions and rules aimed at regulating consumption in non-economic way (the doctrine of a Soviet mode of life).\n\nSerguei Oushakine has conducted fieldwork in the Siberian part of Russia\, as well as in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. His research is concerned with transitional processes and situations: from the formation of newly independent national cultures after the collapse of the Soviet Union to post-traumatic identities and hybrid cultural forms. His first book The Patriotism of Despair: Loss\, Nation\, and War in Russia focused on communities of loss and exchanges of sacrifices in provincial post-communist Russia. His current project explores Eurasian postcoloniality as a means of affective reformatting of the past and as a form of retroactive victimhood. Oushakine’s Russian-language publications include edited volumes on trauma\, family\, gender and masculinity. Prof. Oushakine is director of the Program in Russian and Eurasian Studies at Princeton.\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:Lecture / Discussion:Guanyin Reboot: The Culture of Remakes and the Transformation of Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Traditional Buddha sculptures represent a certain kind of idealized form\, which embodies the idea of compassion in certain times of the past. Mahayana Buddhism syncretized with Confucianism\, Taoism\, Korean Shamanism and Japanese Shinto as Buddhism spread to the East. Each syncretization gave birth to unique Buddhist art aesthetics. The transformation of Buddhist sculpture stopped [MU1] as the religion reached Far East. How does an artist reboot the transformation? This lecture will discuss Yoosamu’s journey to Jingdezhen\, China to infuse contemporary aesthetics into the traditional Guanyin sculpture.\n\nBiography:\n\nYoosamu is a contemporary Korean artist. His current research works are 1) exploring secret government documents and 2) investigating the culture of remakes and the transformation of tradition. Having a multidisciplinary background in visual art as both an artist and an art director\, Yoosamu utilizes painting\, sculpture\, installation\, film and K-POP music video in creating his works. His works were included in the 2015 Animamix Biennial at Daegu Art Museum in South Korea. He has received recognitions from Cannes Lions in France and The One Show in New York. Yoosamu is currently an MFA student at the Stamps School of Art & Design\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. To learn more about Yoosamu’s work\, visit www.yoosamu.com.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W.

The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Other:Author's Forum Presents \"The Tragedy of Fatherhood: King Laius and the Politics of Paternity in the West\"
DESCRIPTION:Silke-Maria Weineck reads from her new book\, which  won the  MLA's Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Comparative Literary Studies\, followed by a discussion with Jonathan Freedman and audience Q & A.\n\nTheories of power have always been intertwined with theories of fatherhood: paternity is the oldest and most persistent metaphor of benign\, legitimate rule. The paternal trope gains its strength from its integration of law\, body\, and affect-in the affirmative model of fatherhood\, the biological father\, the legal father\, and the father who protects and nurtures his children are one and the same\, and in a complex system of mutual interdependence\, the father of the family is symbolically linked to the paternal gods of monotheism and the paternal ruler of the monarchic state.\n\nIf tragedy is the violent eruption of a necessary conflict between competing\, legitimate claims\, The Tragedy of Fatherhood argues that fatherhood is an essentially tragic structure. Silke-Maria Weineck traces both the tensions and various strategies to resolve them through a series of readings of seminal literary and theoretical texts in the Western cultural tradition. In doing so\, she demonstrates both the fragility and resilience of fatherhood as the most important symbol of political power.\n\nA long history of fatherhood in literature\, philosophy\, and political thought\, The Tragedy of Fatherhood weaves together figures as seemingly disparate as Aristotle\, Freud\, Kafka\, and Kleist\, to produce a stunning reappraisal of the nature of power in the Western tradition.\n\nSilke-Maria Weineck is chair of Comparative Literature and Professor of German Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan\, USA. She is the author of The Abyss Above: Philosophy and Poetic Madness in Plato\, Hölderlin\, and Nietzsche (SUNY Press\, 2002). \n\nJonathan Freedman is professor of English\, American and Jewish Studies at the University of Michigan. He has written on late-19th- and early 20th-century literature\, film\, and Jewish-American cultural formations.\n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.\n\nAdditional support for this event provided by the departments of German\, English\, and American Culture.\n\nToday's book signing and sale courtesy of Literati Bookstore.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Latino Americans: 500 Years of History Series Part 5: \"Prejudice and Pride (1965-1980)\"
DESCRIPTION:This program will be presented in Spanish.\n\nMabel Rodriguez\, Lecturer at the University of Michigan Spanish Department and Residential College will lead this screening and discussion of Prejudice and Pride (1965-1980). Ms. Rodriguez will bring additional information as to how the political and educational scene has changed since the protests depicted in the documentary\, as well as issues that continue to affect the Hispanic community today.\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s a generation of Mexican Americans\, frustrated by persistent discrimination and poverty\, find a new way forward\, through social action and the building of a new \"Chicano\" identity. The movement is ignited when farm workers in the fields of California\, led by César Chavez and Dolores Huerta\, march on Sacramento for equal pay and humane working conditions. Through plays\, poetry and film\, Luis Valdez and activist Corky Gonzalez create a new appreciation of the long history of Mexicans in the South West and the Mestizo roots of Mexican Americans. In Los Angeles\, Sal Castro\, a schoolteacher\, leads the largest high school student walkout in American history\, demanding that Chicano students be given the same educational opportunities as Anglos. In Texas\, activists such as José Ángel Gutiérrez\, create a new political party and change the rules of the electoral game. By the end of the 1970s\, Chicanos' activism and identity have transformed what it means to be an American. Chicano and Latino studies are incorporated into school curriculum\; Latinos are included in the political process.\n\nThe Ann Arbor District Library is one of 203 sites nationwide to host this series\, which has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association. The AADL series is also co-sponsored by Michigan Radio and the U-M Latina/o Studies Program and is part of an NEH initiative\, The Common Good: The Humanities In the Public Square. For more information on Latino Americans: 500 Years of History programs at AADL\, please visit aadl.org/latinoamericans.\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nMichigan Radio

DESCRIPTION:Join us immediately follow Nina Katchadourian's lecture http://events.umich.edu/event/26775 as we celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition\, Nina Katchadourian's \"Accent Elimination.\"\n\nAbout \"Accent Elimination\":\nNina Katchadourian’s work exists in a variety of media including sculpture sound\, video\, and photography.  Her video piece \"Accent Elimination\,\" which was included in the 2015 Venice Biennale as part of the Armenian exhibition\, was inspired by her parents and their accents and life stories\, which suggest that the question as to where a person comes from is not so simple to answer\, and the answers speak to a larger family story about displacement migration\, intermarriage\, and diaspora.  With the help of an “accent  elimination” coach\, Katchadourian sets out to learn to speak in her parents’ accents\, and for them to acquire a “standard American accent.”  As the video reflects\, it proves to be a moving\, confusing\, frustrating and often hilarious experience.

DESCRIPTION:HONEYHONEY was formed in 2006 by musician Benjamin Jaffe and model and actress (and Cleveland native) Suzanne Santo. They met at a costume party\, were signed to a record deal\, and released their first album\, \"First Rodeo\,\" in 2008. HONEYHONEY has broken through with their third album\, \"3\,\" produced by Dave Cobb and released in June of 2015 on the legendary folk label Rounder. The album inspired an American Songwriter to enthuse: \"With a singer-songwriter that exudes the magnetic passion and swaggering star power of Santo\, this is a group whose time has come.\" Paste has described HONEYHONEY's style as \"the common pop thread between alt.country\, spaghetti western soundtracks and swampy blues\,\" and Glide found that the duo \"deftly mixes elements of folk\, soul\, country\, pop\, and rock.\" Roots/laidback-rock songwriter Ryan Joseph Anderson opens.
