SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: The Future of Gerrymandering
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest challenges facing our democracy today occurs when congressional district lines that are drawn by elected officials to give one political party an unfair advantage over another.

Why is this such an important issue today and what does it mean for you?\nWhy did the United States Supreme Court take up the gerrymandering case (Gill v. Whitford)? And what is happening now with this case? \nHow has technology impacted the gerrymandering debate? \nWhat are states doing to address the issue?\nHow can you implement change? \n\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

SUMMARY:Other:Flint: Recapturing Vehicle City
DESCRIPTION:The city of Flint\, Michigan has had more than its fair share of challenges and negative publicity — especially in recent years. But that was not always the case. Flint used to be known as Vehicle City\, a vibrant urban center where vehicles - initially\, carriages and later\, automobiles - were invented and produced. Discover this rich heritage on this unique and varied excursion. \nWe’ll begin with a bus tour of the city followed by a guided tour of the former Durant-Dort Carriage Company Factory One\, which is considered to be the birthplace of General Motors and the epicenter of the global auto industry. From there\, we will head east to the Flint Institute of Arts\, where you will enjoy a private luncheon and ample time to explore on your own. \nLast but not least\, we’ll visit the Applewood Estate\, the former home of the Mott family\, who not only played a significant role in the development of the auto industry\, they left an indelible mark on both Flint and Ann Arbor through their philanthropy. Guided tours will involve light walking with stair climbing (some of which will be steep). Please notify us of physical limitations in advance so that we can work with each location to accommodate any special needs or requests. Boarding begins at 8:00 a.m. to ensure prompt departure at 8:30 a.m.\nThis OLLI Out of Town event is for those over 50.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nothing Makes Sense\, Except Love: The Cinematic Musings of Director Alan Rudolph
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features materials reproduced from the Alan Rudolph Collection now part of the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center. Told in Rudolph’s first-person voice\, it chronicles his career.\n\nQuirky\, off kilter\, stylishly romantic and filled with moments of wry humor\, Alan Rudolph makes movies with dreamy eyed protagonists searching for love in all the wrong places. He often mashes up genres into something new and unique and peppers his films with elements not always beholden to realism. He began his four decade career under the watchful eye of mentor Robert Altman\, but he soon created a body of work that is clearly his own vision.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s.

Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance
DESCRIPTION:Canadian artist Marcel Dzama is known for imaginative drawings\, sculptures\, dioramas\, and films rooted in the traditions of Surrealism\, Dada and outsider art. His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations. The drawings underscore the fantastical elements in a film that combines the carnivalesque with a nightmarish exploration of the surreal.\n\nLead support for Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance is provided by Candy and Michael Barasch. Additional generous support is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Srimoyee Mitra with the assistance of James Barker and Jennifer Junkermeier\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt is a retrospective exhibition that pays homage to and celebrates fifty years of Ellen Wilt’s expansive art practice. Born and raised in Pittsburgh\, Wilt has lived and worked in Ann Arbor since 1949 and completed two degrees (BFA\, ‘69 and MA\, ‘70) at the University of Michigan. She is an important figure in Ann Arbor’s art community\, who has consistently worked at fostering a vibrant arts community as an artist and educator in the Academy and beyond. She was an art professor for 17 years (1969-85) at the Eastern Michigan University. During this time she also organized and facilitated numerous community-engaged projects that empowered first-time and emerging artists to show their work. It was not until she retired and was well into her 70s that she turned her focus to her own art practice. Her work was duly recognized with numerous awards from the Michigan Water Color Society\, Washtenaw Council for the Arts\, and the Holland Friends of Art between 1984 and 1993.\n\nFor the first time in the last three decades\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt brings together over 40 carefully selected works from personal and private collections that highlight Wilt’s artistic contributions in Southeastern Michigan. Her intuitive and playful bricolage way of working reveals the scope of her achievement and her specific interest in the Michigan region and its landscape. She has developed multiple bodies of work that feature domestic objects from teapots to chairs while also reckoning with iconic architectural tropes of bridges and tunnels which are ongoing motifs in her work. Wilt continually experiments and explores new ways of working in a variety of two dimensional mediums including\, oil\, acrylic and watercolor. Since the 1970s she has incorporated collage into her practice using whatever materials she has available to her. These range from butcher paper\, aluminum foil\, and tissue to balsa wood\, toothpicks and other found objects.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:See Through: Windows and Mirrors in Twentieth-Century Photography
DESCRIPTION:See Through: Mirrors and Windows in Twentieth-Century Photography brings together a group of images that are doubly framed—once by the camera lens and again by the border of a mirror or window. By refracting and distorting\, revealing and concealing\, these reflective and transparent surfaces both draw attention to the photographer’s efforts to frame the world and expose the contingent nature of reality. Highlights from the exhibition include works by Eugène Atget\, Robert Doisneau\, Elliott Erwitt\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Joanne Leonard\, Danny Lyon\, and Joel Meyerowitz. By extending the limits of perception\, these witty and provocative works invite us to see [through to] new visual possibilities.\n\nLead support for See Through: Windows and Mirrors in Twentieth-Century Photography is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Historical collecting practices have had a lasting impact on representations of Africa\, its history\, culture\, and life today. Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and Susan Ullrich.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SPECIAL SEMINAR | The Future of Fundamental Particle Physics – Should China Build the Great Collider?
DESCRIPTION:The Standard Models of particle physics and cosmology are wonderful theories that fully describe our world. But there are some hidden aspects of nature we don’t understand yet\, such as dark matter\, a quantum theory of gravity\, and more. There are some counterintuitive things we know – for example the earth orbits the sun\, although it does not seem to. There may be more counterintuitive aspects of nature such as extra space dimensions that arise in string theory. The talk\, based on discussions with Stephen Hawking\, will describe the Standard Models\, the puzzling issues beyond the Standard Models\, and how the well-motivated Great Collider will contribute to solving them. The Great Collider will also provide major economic and cultural development.\n\nThe talk will begin at 4:00 p.m. sharp!

SUMMARY:Film Screening:LRCCS Cinetopia Film Screening | Angels Wear White
DESCRIPTION:China\, 107 Minutes\, Drama\, Chinese with English subtitles\, Not Rated\n\nAnn Arbor\, Award Winner\, Chinese\, Drama\, Female Director\, Films\, Foreign Narrative\, MT\, ST\n\nWorking the graveyard shift at the reception desk of a sleepy maritime motel promises little excitement for teenage Mia — until one night she becomes the sole witness to an assault on two schoolgirls by a middle-aged man. Fearing the consequences of speaking up\, Mia decides to keep quiet on the matter. Twelve-year-old victim Wen\, however\, quickly realizes that the violence she endured that night is only the first in a litany of troubles. With seemingly nowhere to run\, Mia and Wen find themselves caught in an ever-tightening net that they alone can free themselves from. This second feature from the brilliant Chinese writer-director VIVIAN QU whisks us away to a small seaside village where tranquility is torn asunder by a terrible crime. A modern noir focused on complex female characters\, Angels Wear White possesses a distinctive slow burn that may prove to be Qu’s signature. – Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017.\n\nPurchase tickets ahead here: http://www.cinetopiafestival.org/show/angels-wear-white/\n\nSponsored by U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and Confucius Institute at U-M.
