SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet
DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EUROPEAN POPULISM: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES WITH THE PAST
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Markovits is the Karl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. His many books\, articles\, and reviews on topics as varied as sports\, dog rescue\, and many aspects of European and comparative politics have been published in fifteen languages. Markovits has received many prestigious prizes and fellowships. He has also won multiple teaching awards\, most notably the Golden Apple Award at the University of Michigan in 2007. In the same year\, the University of Lueneburg in Germany awarded Markovits an honorary doctorate. In 2012\, the Federal Republic of Germany bestowed on Markovits its Cross of the Order of Merit\, First Class\, one of the highest honors given by that country to its citizens or foreigners.\n\nIn Germany\, France\, Austria\, Hungary\, Poland\, the Czech Republic\, Slovakia\, Russia\, and a number of other European countries\, populist movements have \nappeared in many guises altering these countries’ politics and policies. While sui generis\, these constructs have displayed characteristics that are reminiscent of  thought decidedly not identical with developments of the 1920s and 1930s. The lecture will highlight the current situation\, analyze its causes and manifestations\, and look at similarities and differences to events that contributed to a very turbulent history on that continent.  \n\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The Practice of History
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen Canning’s work has transformed the way we do history and her indefatigable spirit has inspired scholars and students here at the University of Michigan and beyond. This symposium will bring together scholars whose work has been inspired by her writings and teaching and students whose careers she supported and shaped\, with the purpose of marking her transition from the University of Michigan to Rice University\, where she will serve as Dean of Humanities.\n\nThe Practice of History will feature a keynote lecture in Canning’s honor by Tracie Matysik (University of Texas\, Austin) and bring together leading scholars\, colleagues\, and former students of Canning’s to reflect on her numerous contributions in four panels. In a first session\, colleagues from Michigan and elsewhere will consider how Canning’s work has shaped the field of German History. A second session on Citizenship and Gender will engage with her most important historical and theoretical arguments to illustrate how they continue to transform historical understanding of categories such as gender\, citizenship\, experience\, practice and participation. The third session\, features some of Canning’s more recent former students who will comment on the key role her work and mentorship have played in their education\, their development as scholars\, and their current careers. The last session “Kathleen and the World” brings together scholars who work in non-European fields to reflect on the breadth and reach of Canning’s influence.\n\nBesides celebrating the scholarship and educational vision of Kathleen Canning\, The Practice of History also seeks to remind us all of the extraordinary citizen\, colleague\, mentor. and friend she has been to her Michigan students and colleagues as well as to scholars\, thinkers\, and activists elsewhere. Her work has never been purely abstract. Her labor has never been only theoretical. Her scholarship is marked most by its heartfelt connections to actual people and places\, both in the now and in the past and driven by her deep commitment to activism\, practice\, empowerment\, and enjoyment.\n\nThursday\, December 14\n\nKathleen Canning and German History\, 2:00 pm\nRita Chin (University of Michigan)\nDavid Crew (University of Texas\, Austin)\nAtina Grossmann (Cooper Union)\nElizabeth Otto (SUNY Buffalo)\nChair: Warren Rosenblum (Webster University)\n\nKeynote Lecture\, 4:00 pm\nTracie Matysik (University of Texas\, Austin)\n\nFriday\, December 15\n\nKathleen Canning\, Citizenship\, and Gender\, 10:00 am\nKerstin Barndt (University of Michigan)\nKathy Bench (Baruch College\, CUNY)\nMarti Lybeck (University of Wisconsin\, La Crosse)\nScott Spector (University of Michigan)\nChair: Josh Cole (University of Michigan)\n\nKathleen Canning as a Teacher and Mentor\, 2:00 pm\nJohannes von Moltke (University of Michigan)\nAlice Goff (University of Chicago)\nIan McNeely (University of Oregon)\nAri Sammartino (Oberlin College)\nAlice Weinreb (Loyola University Chicago)\nChair: Brian Porter-Szucs (University of Michigan)\n\nKathleen Canning and the World\, 4:15 pm\nPenny von Eschen (Cornell University)\nHelmut Puff (University of Michigan)\nLora Wildenthal (Rice University)\nAnne Berg (University of Michigan\nChair: Farina Mir (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: How to eat something bigger than your head - microbial community assembly at the micron scale
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present our work showing how ecological interactions control the assembly and function of microbial communities at micro-scales. Using model marine particles composed of a variety of biopolymers commonly found in the ocean\, I will show how microbial interactions such as cross-feeding and social cheating lead to rapid successional community assembly on particles. By comparing successions on different biopolymer particles\, I’ll show how the bow tie structure of metabolic networks can lead to highly reproducible\, convergent community dynamics that are independent of the initial carbon source. Finally\, I will argue that community composition\, in particular the load of primary degraders to cross-feeders\, plays a fundamental role in controlling community function\, i.e. the rates of particle turnover in the environment.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/6cl0D2LPCmY
