SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

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:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Six Senses of Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Art museums generally give primacy to the sense of sight. Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS\, DISASTERS\, CONSUMPTION\, LOSS\, AND JUSTICE\n \nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene\, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues\, the exhibition presents photography\, video\, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials\, disasters\, consumption\, loss\, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, UF Office of the Provost\, National Endowment for the Arts\, C. Frederick and Aase B.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Algorithms\, Scale\, Speed and the Labor of Logistics
DESCRIPTION:The second of two panel discussions\, open to the public\, as part of the National Science Foundation-funded two-day workshop on Making the \"Future of Work\" Work. \n\nDigital labor regimes have infiltrated various processes from global logistics and supply chains to mass production and mechanic work. Scale\, speed\, and acceleration are key to these processes of increasing algorithmic control (simultaneously critiqued and celebrated). What are the cracks\, frictions\, and gaps in this seemingly all-subsuming finance capitalism? How might we have to rearticulate what counts as solidarity and collective organizing to counter distributed\, isolating\, and large-scale structures of control? How can we intervene in the persistent techno-optimism that lives on in contemporary engineering and design?\n\nPresenters: \nAlessandro Delfanti\, University of Toronto\nVicky Hattam\, New School\nMargaret Jack\, Cornell University\nNoopur Raval\, UC Irvine\n\nDiscussants:\nSilvia Lindtner & Christian Sandvig\, University of Michigan School of Information

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:Performance:UMMA Pop Up: Andrew Brown Guitar Duo: Jazz Manouche
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Brown's Djangophonique is a musical project that performs Jazz Manouche and Hot Swing inspired by the legendary gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and his Quintette du Hot Club de France. ​ Born in a sandstone Victorian farmhouse that has been in his family since it was built four generations ago\, Andrew Brown is the son of a Motown session musician and grew up listening to the sounds of his dad’s piano as he steeped in musical influences from Duke Ellington to Stevie Wonder. As a young man returning from a trip to New Orleans with a newfound interest in swing\, he co-founded the eclectic Americana group Appleseed Collective\, with whom he has toured 150+ dates a year. Traveling all over the continental United States\, playing esteemed venues and festivals such as The Ark\, Sisters Folk Festival\, Wheatland\, Cervantes Ballroom\, Summercamp Music Festival\, Schuba’s\, and The Ann Arbor Folk Festival at Hill Auditorium\, he cut his teeth as a guitarist\, songwriter\, and band leader. Since slowing down his touring schedule in 2017\, he began tirelessly studying and performing the music of his favorite guitar player: Django Reinhardt. Since then he has studied at various music camps with many of the genres heavy-hitting players such as Angelo Debarre\, Sebastian Gineaux\, and Gonzalo Bergara\, and was even invited to back up Denis Chang at one of his concerts. \n \n​Andrew currently plays throughout Michigan with his own project Djangophonique\, his band Appleseed Collective\, and his friends' projects Third Coast Gypsy Jazz and Smoking Dandies. He also teaches guitar\, both generally and specifically in the style of Django.\n \n \n\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Morgan James
DESCRIPTION:One voice is all it takes. The right vocalist can make you fall in love at first listen\, elicit tears\, or bring you back to a different era altogether.  A microphone and a stage remain the only necessities.  That holds true for New York-based soul singer\, songwriter\, and Broadway actress Morgan James. \n\nPart of Morgan’s creative trajectory has become centered around her full album cover projects.  She covered D’Angelo’s “Black Messiah” one month after its release\, Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” and a critically acclaimed full cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Blue”. She now takes on her most ambitious project to date: The Beatles “White” album\, celebrating the 50th anniversary of its original release. \n\nHer latest studio album\, \"Reckless Abandon\"\,  is her first as an independent artist\, and it is her most personal outing yet\, prompting the Huffington Post to call MJ the \"Brightest Breakout Artist of the Year\". Morgan assumed co-writing duties on all twelve tracks and sang all her own background vocals.  The album is stocked with lush horns and harmonies\, and stretches limbs between genres for a sound all its own. From the Rufus inspired soul swagger of the opening track \"Up In Smoke\"\, to the delicious R&B slow jam \"You Thought Not\"\, to the infectious soulful pop of \"Unworthy\"\, MJ takes the listener into her new era of freedom and empowerment. \n\nOn her full-length debut for Epic Records\, “Hunter\,” she cast an unbreakable spell with a powerhouse voice\, theatrical swing\, and a soulful poise. “Hunter” boasts a powerful and personal rendition of Prince’s “Call My Name” (reached Top 15 at Urban AC radio and #1 most added).  Morgan assumed co-writing duties on eight of the collection’s eleven tracks and performed all of her own background vocals and harmonies.   From the empowering farewell of “Fed Up On You” to the mournful rumination of “Say The Words”\, or the soulful duet with Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper\, \"Let Me Keep You\"\, she continually bares it all—both emotionally and musically.\n\nIn addition to her studio albums \"Reckless Abandon\" and \"Hunter\"\, Morgan has released a live tribute to her idol\, Nina Simone\, \"Morgan James Live\"\, as well as an EP featuring some of her fan's favorite covers\, \"YouTube Sessions\".  (She can also be heard on countless theatre and concept soundtracks).  Morgan is proud to note that no vocal tuning of any kind has been used on any of her albums.\n\nMorgan’s videos on YouTube have accumulated more than 150 million views (and climbing). With viral sensation Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox\, Morgan toured the US\, Europe\, Australia and New Zealand.  She is currently on the road touring with her band!
