Exhibition:Birds Fly In: Oil Painting
2020-06-26 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals
Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music, spontaneously, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush, but also fingers, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Exhibition:Flora Series: Woven Wire Sculpture
2020-06-26 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals
Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Exhibition:Gouache Paintings
2020-06-26 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center
Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops, playgrounds, houses and aerial views, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales, but rather to celebrate the color, shape, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Exhibition:Migrations: Fiber Notes from the Journey
2020-06-26 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center
Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving, crochet, needle felting, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Exhibition:Nature’s Dance
2020-06-26 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center
The Birmingham Society of Women Painters are from the surrounding metro Detroit area. With over 50 members, they exhibit a diverse approach to painting including watercolor, oil, acrylic and mixed mediums. Their subject matter and technique is also quite vast.

Visitors can see porcelain plates with Mozart’s “Magic Flute;” green frogs in faux cereal; an Art Deco car-shaped teapot from the 1930s; and Mid-Century Modern luncheon snack sets.

Exhibition:What We Hold, What Holds Us: Homes & Vessels
2020-06-26 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center
Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years, she has collected, saved, garbage-rescued, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds, the vessels that hold them, and the totems that pay tribute to them, all keep her company, inspire her, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea, Michigan.

Class / Instruction:White Liberalism and the Illusion of Racial Progress
2020-06-26 10:00 - 11:30 | Off Campus Location
This event is free and available to the public. OLLI membership is not required.

How does information impact opinions and voting behavior in the case of white liberal progressives? Specifically, does exposure to racial wealth gap data lead to support by white liberals for affirmative action, reparations, and similar programs? These and related issues will be explored.

Speaker Vincent Hutchings is the Hanes Walton Jr. Collegiate Professor of Political Science at UM and a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research. He received his PhD in 1997 from the University of California, Los Angeles. His research examines the ways in which political campaigns and the media frame information about racial issues in order to activate and make politically relevant the voters’ sympathies and/or antipathies for particular racial groups.

Exhibition:Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope
2020-06-26 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - A. Alfred Taubman Gallery II
The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund

Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
2020-06-26 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse
EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Exhibition:Post No Bills: Burhan Doğançay's Archive of Urban Protest
2020-06-26 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery
The upcoming exhibition Post No Bills: Burhan Doğançay’s Archive of Urban Protest highlights this important Turkish modernist’s exploration of three decades of the American social zeitgeist in works based on the abstract collages of torn posters, chipped paint, and graffiti he found on city walls.

Doğançay documented and harnessed the political content of walls in more than 100 cities around the world, an effort that was progressively recognized throughout his life. His works are in museum collections around the world and have been the focus of major exhibitions at the Pompidou Center, Paris (1982), the State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg (1992), and the Istanbul Modern (2012). Though many of his artworks are located in American university museums, few exhibitions have explored the shifting trajectories of 20th-century American political discourse expressed in them.

Exhibition:Watershed
2020-06-26 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - A. Alfred Taubman Gallery I
Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region.

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Livestream / Virtual:LGBT Rights in Healthcare and Employment: Taking Stock of Bostock v. Clayton County
2020-06-26 12:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location
Speakers:
- LaVelle Ridley, PhD Candidate, English & Women's Studies; Multidisciplinary Transgender Health Project, Institute for Research on Women and Gender, University of Michigan (she/her)
- Susan Burgess, Distinguished Professor, Center for Law, Justice & Culture, Political Science, Ohio University
- Harper Jean Tobin, Trans Policy Expert and Consultant, HJ Tobin Policy Consulting (she/her)
- Anna Kirkland, Director, Institute for Research on Women and Gender; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, Women's and Gender Studies, University of Michigan (she/her)

This conversation brings together experts in LGBTQ law, politics, health, and transgender rights to reflect on Bostock v. Clayton County, GA, the recent ruling from the Supreme Court affirming that Title VII employment discrimination law covers sexual orientation and gender identity under sex discrimination. That decision came down just three days after the Trump administration issued a final rule rescinding transgender inclusion in the non-discrimination protections of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act.

Experts will discuss what these cases and regulations mean for LGBT rights in this political moment. This event is designed to be conversational and informative and to fit within your lunch hour.

This remote event will be presented via Zoom. Please register in advance, here: http://myumi.ch/4pz2j

Livestream / Virtual:Chris Smither - Ark Family Room Series
2020-06-26 20:00 - 22:00 | Off Campus Location
Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. Reviewers and fans from around the world agree that Chris is a profound songwriter, a blistering guitarist and, as he puts it, a "one-man band to the bone." Chris melds the styles of his two major influences, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt, into his own signature guitar sound. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets, and humanist philosophers. Chris may be best known for writing "Love You Like A Man," which Bonnie Raitt and more recently Kelly Clarkson have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums, independent film, television and commercials, and at The Ark he has a meeting of the minds with audiences that occurs in very few other places.

Livestream / Virtual:Penny Stamps Speaker Series + DPTV Present Milliner Stephen Jones
2020-06-26 20:00 - 21:00 | Off Campus Location
On Friday, June 26 at 8:00 pm ET, tune in at dptv.org or join us on the Penny Stamps Series Facebook page to view a presentation by Stephen Jones.

Born in Cheshire, England, and schooled in Liverpool, milliner Stephen Jones is a fashion icon. Coming of age during London’s street fashion boom in the late 1970s, Jones first made a name for himself as an uncompromising style-blazer at the legendary Blitz nightclub, where he was perpetually crowned with a striking hat of his own idiosyncratic design. By 1980, Jones had opened his first millinery salon in the heart of London’s Covent Garden. Those premises soon became a place of pilgrimage and patronage, as everyone from rock stars to royalty, from Boy George to Diana, Princess of Wales, identified Jones as the milliner who would help them make arresting headlines. Nearly forty years later, Jones’s era-defining edge continues to attract a celebrity clientele which includes Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Mick Jagger, and the Royal Family. Now, as ever, at the forefront of fashion, his beguiling hats routinely grace the most celebrated magazine covers and enliven window displays of the world’s most stylish stores. From runways to racecourses, from pop-promos to royal garden parties, millinery by Stephen Jones adds the exclamation mark to every fashion statement.
