SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.  Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U​–M art professor Jim Cogswell has been invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Picturing Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Featuring a selection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs from the Museum’s collection\, Picturing Buildings illuminates the enduring appeal of photographing architecture\, from historic Turkish mosques and New York City skyscrapers\, to industrial factories and intimate domestic interiors. Each of these visually and spatially complex sites provides photographers with representational challenges and endless opportunities to innovate. This exhibition explores how photographers working in a range of contexts—from travel photography and photojournalism to historical documentation and modern art—use architecture to develop pictorial strategies in their own medium. Through selective framing\, dramatic perspectival distortion\, and heightened contrasts between light and dark\, photographers reinterpret their architectural subjects by focusing on the creative act of constructing a photograph. The resulting images reveal our surrounding built environment in new ways and highlight the intriguing transformation that takes place when the camera converts three dimensions into two.\n\nLead support for Picturing Buildings: Photographers and Architecture\, 1855-1985 is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
DESCRIPTION:Wavefunction\, Subsculpture 9\, by Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer\, is a kinetic sculpture and interactive installation that plays on the work of mid-century American designers Charles and Ray Eames.\n\nThe installation consists of 42 molded plastic chairs (designed by the Eameses in 1948) arranged in a grid and attached to electromechanical pistons. When visitors approach the chairs\, a surveillance system detects their presence and the closest chairs lift gently off the ground. The adjacent chairs follow\, and a wave movement spreads across the array. The software controlling the pistons is based on fluid dynamics\, so as more visitors approach the grid\, the chairs—whose iconic curving contours were also generated mathematically— mimic the complex interaction of multiple waves in water.\n\nThis performative installation complements the concurrent exhibition Moving Image: Performance\, which together constitute the second of three presentations at UMMA drawn from the collection of Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul. The works in this year-long trio of exhibitions represent traditional categories such as portraiture\, landscape\, and performance that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Wavefunction\, Subsculpture 9 is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and Michigan Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Latina/o Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others.

UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition and Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.  Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Other:Call for Papers Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text \n2017 Graduate Student Conference \nGermanic Languages & Literatures at the University of Michigan \nSeptember 29-30 \nKeynote Speaker: Sean Franzel (University of Missouri) \nPresented in Conjunction with the Ann​ual Grilk Lecture: Celia Applegate (Vanderbilt)\n\nDuring the 1980s German media theorist Friedrich Kittler published a series of highly influential books and essays outlining a materialist approach to literary and cultural history\, one freed from hermeneutic fantasies of immediacy and focused instead on the medial conditions that made thought possible in the first place\, the hardware that enabled it to be recorded\, processed\, and transmitted. Over the last few decades\, scholars in German\, Film\, Music\, and Literary Studies\, and beyond\, have continued to expand on Kittler’s initial insights into the material nature of sound\, image\, and text\, and the medial operations they entail. Both borrowing from and looking beyond Kittler\, this conference seeks to explore productive points of contact between contemporary media theory\, on the one hand\, and the literary and cultural histories of mediation\, remediation\, and intermediation\, on the other.\n\nFrom Herder’s origins of language and Kant’s public sphere to Nazi propaganda and Siegert’s Kulturtechniken​ \, media and mediation have remained central concepts for understanding German modernities. Social and political transformations\, in conjunction with technological innovations around 1800/1900/2000 exerted pressure on​ ​existing notions of sound\, image\, and text and vice versa: this feedback loop serves as the springboard for our conference\, “Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text.”\n\nSean Franzel of the University of Missouri will give the conference keynote address on Friday afternoon\, September 29. Preceding the conference\, participants will also have the opportunity to attend the annual Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies\, given by Celia Applegate\, on Thursday evening\, September 28. Professor Applegate will conduct a workshop for University of Michigan graduate students and conference participants on Friday morning.\n\nWe invite graduate students working in all fields of German studies and related disciplines in the humanities and social sciences to submit proposals for papers. Possible topics include:\n- The technicity and/or historicity of listening\, seeing\, and reading  - The times and spaces of sound/image/text  \n- Medial inscription and identity (race\, religion\, gender\, sexuality)  - Aesthetic boundaries and boundary-crossings of music and sound - Mediumship and the occult  \n- Literature as media technology \n- Romantic techniques of reading and writing  \n- The Gesamtkunstwerk \n- War\, violence\, and media\n- Intermediality and remediation of literature in the age of electronic technology - Technology and mass culture \n- Economies of media labor\, production\, and consumption  \n- Sound/image/text and screen cultures  \n- Medial ​Eigensinn​ and aesthetic form  \n- Avant-garde conceptualizations of sound/image/text \n- Media as practice\, process\, and event  \n- Digital and computer-based media\n\nPlease send abstracts (300 words max.) to mediatingthemodern@gmail.com by July 1. Presentations should not exceed 20 minutes.\n\nDo not hesitate to contact us at mediatingthemodern@gmail.com for further information. \n\nSincerely\, \n\nDomenic Desocio\, Emily Gauld\, and Mary Hennessy\nConference organizers\, PhD Candidates\nDepartment of Germanic Languages and Literatures\nUniversity of Michigan
