SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line.

From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was 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 adhered 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 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.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+
