SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: The Many Faces and Figures of the Four Sons in the Passover Haggadah
DESCRIPTION:The Four Sons of the Passover Haggadah can now be viewed in their many versions at a unique exhibit at the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies. The exhibit\, featuring 29 Haggadahs from the Irwin M. Alterman Haggadah Collection\, will be on display through July.  It includes Haggadahs of various shapes and sizes\, ancient and modern\, and in a number of different languages.\n\nThe Alterman collection was acquired by the University of Michigan Library last year with the help of the Frankel Center\, and is housed in the Special Collections Library of the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library. It includes more than 1\,800 Haggadahs and is believed to be one of the largest Haggadah collections in the world. The unique compilation belonged to the late Irwin Alterman of West Bloomfield\, and was donated by his widow\, Marilyn McCall Alterman. \n\nPhoto courtesy of Luna Archey

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Abstraction: A Graphic Study
DESCRIPTION:Chicago-based artist Natasha Kohli uses abstract acrylic paintings to convey her messages of positivity and love by pouring that energy into each piece. As a self-taught artist\, Kohli is not bound to school taught rules but rather follows instinct and spontaneity. This also allows her to freely create her own processes. Moments of introspection and feelings of acceptance are what Kohli wishes to offer viewers of her work\, and these goals are inspired by her deep love of spirituality and Bikram yoga.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Concrete Ephemera: Street Art Captured
DESCRIPTION:David Zinn has been drawing on sidewalks for well over a decade\, using chalk and charcoal to create anamorphic 3D creatures which\, when viewed at a precise angle\, appear to exist in the real world. They often incorporate parts of the landscape and found objects\, such as cracks in concrete or leaves on the ground. He is inspired by a desire to place cheerful art underfoot in unexpected places and to embrace the temporary nature of all things. For this exhibit\, photographs of his street art installations will be on display. Zinn is a lifelong Michigander with a degree in creative writing from the U-M Residential College\, and he worked for many years as a children’s radio host on WCBN and Michigan Radio. Zinn will also give an artist demonstration alongside a musical performance by Magdalen Fossum in the University Hospital Courtyard on Thurs\, July 21\, 2016 from 12:00-1:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Landscapes Imagined: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Veedell creates atmospheric landscape paintings in oil on canvas\, capturing the fleeting moments of light in nature. The root of her work is an emotional reaction to the environment\, implying landscapes not necessarily seen but felt. Veedell lives and works in San Francisco\, and she is inspired by her global travels to places as far away as India and as near as Napa Valley\, California. Travel is an important component of her work as it allows her to observe and compare gradients of color\, light and atmosphere in different geographic locations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Portals: Fiber Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Creative Seasons is a small yet vibrant group of non-traditional quilters from Southeast Michigan that meets monthly. The group’s purpose is to share knowledge\, techniques and work collaboratively on projects and exhibits as decided by the group.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proclaiming Emancipation
DESCRIPTION:Today the Emancipation Proclamation is one of our nation’s critical documents. It symbolizes a remarkable turning point: slavery’s extinction in the United States became possible and indeed highly likely. Still\, our views of that moment may be as varied as they were 150 years ago.\n\nProclaiming Emancipation explores reflections upon the Proclamation and the meaning of emancipation through the holdings of the William L. Clements Library\, with select items from collaborating institutions. \n\nThrough an exploration of freedom\, military service\, executive power and visual representations\, Proclaiming Emancipation pays tribute to a near-sacred document steeped in the logic of history and the imaginings of myth.\n-----------------------------------------------------\nSponsored by the Program in Race\, Law & History and the William L. Clements Library\, in cooperation with the University of Michigan Library. Martha S. Jones and Clayton Lewis\, curators.\n\nPROCLAIMING EMANCIPATION has been made possible through the generous support of Faith (AB ‘69) and Stephen (AB ‘66\, JD ‘69) Brown\, and at the University of Michigan: College of Literature\, Science and the Arts\, Office of the Vice President for Research\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Rackham Graduate School\, Institute for the Humanities\, Law in Slavery and Freedom Project\, and the Understanding Race Theme Semester.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catherine Opie: 700 Nimes Road
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents new and recent work by Los Angeles-based artist Catherine Opie\, one of the essential figures in contemporary photography. Beginning in 2010\, Opie spent six months taking photographs at the Bel Air\, California\, residence of Elizabeth Taylor (1932–2011). The exhibition includes fifty works drawn from two series\, Closets and Jewels and 700 Nimes Road. Opie’s lens captures the essence of the Hollywood legend through her personal objects and mementos\, and portrays Taylor’s life experience and eccentricity as an illusory subject\, one that cannot be specifically designated or precisely described. In the artist’s words\, the project is not about the relationship to celebrity but about “the relationship to what is human.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:In Focus: Jeanne Gang
DESCRIPTION:Widely acclaimed for her integrative approach to materials\, technology\, and ecological context\, Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang was selected as a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. Shortly thereafter Gang proposed an ambitious restoration of the Chicago riverfront through a series of small but transformational projects. The WMS Boathouse\, designed by Gang and located north of downtown\, is one such project\, encompassing a field house with state-of-the art training facilities\, a boat storage building\, and a floating dock at the river’s edge. Completed in 2013\, the 22\,000-square-foot boathouse is the city’s premier rowing center\, serving a range of public rowing clubs\, many of whose amateur athletes come from the city’s underserved communities.\n\nThis installation showcases dynamic exterior and interior sketches of the complex—recently acquired by UMMA—depicting the distinctive rhythmic contours of the roof\, derived from studies of rowers in motion\, and the open\, angular\, and light-filled spaces within.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside
DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Inaugural City Study: Making Place in Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of co-learning with Stephen Henderson and the Place-Making Research Cluster.  \n \nWe will begin the evening with a short group study on the topic of making\, unmaking and remaking place in Detroit\, through excerpts from the work of local Detroit writers\, facilitated by the  City Study Stewards.  Stephen Henderson will share reflective remarks on his own experience with place-making in Detroit through his Tuxedo Project\, and as a journalist for the Detroit Free Press.  We will then move into a guided conversation on the topic between Stephen and the students of the Place-Making research cluster\, as well as the community.\n\nStephen Henderson is editorial page editor and a columnist at the Detroit Free Press and a 2014 Pulitzer Prize Winner for his coverage of his native city\, Detroit. In 2012\, he returned back to his recently abandoned childhood home at 7124 Tuxedo and decided not to leave.  This choice led to the creation of the Tuxedo Project\, a partnership with Marygrove College and the Knight Foundation\, to restore Stephen’s home and to turn it into a writer’s residency\, which would benefit the students of Marygrove and the surrounding community.  In conversation with the City Study Stewards from the Place-Making research cluster\, Stephen will share his own reflections on making\, unmaking and remaking place in post-bankruptcy Detroit\, as well as the unique features of and vision for transforming a home into a place of learning.\n\nThe Place-Making Research Cluster at the Detroit City Study explores the diverse elements that make\, unmake and remake place.  Students in this cluster take up this question through a variety of disciplines and entry points\, including social space\, material space\, visual space and mental space\, as well as the role of art\, community\, the built environment\, deconstruction\, affect and power and how they intersect within place.  The cluster is motivated by the question\, what constitutes “place” and what does it actually hold together?  The Place-Making Research Cluster is made up of four PhD students\, Joseph Richard DeLeon\, Samantha Hobson\, Michael RJ Koscielniak\, and Shebani Rao. To learn more about the Place-Making research cluster and how you might join their efforts\, contact Detroit City Study project director\, Shira Schwartz\, shiras@umich.edu. \n\nTransportation from Ann Arbor: https://ridemdcc.umich.edu/schedule\nThere will be a special 6:30 return-ride to Ann Arbor in accommodation of this event.\n\nFor more information on this event\, contact Shira Schwartz\, shiras@umich.edu
