Livestream / Virtual:PCK Reclaiming the City Film Screening | Cheonggyecheon Medley

This event is in coordination with our PCK conference, Reclaiming the City. Full conference details available here: https://myumi.ch/xm1XG

We welcome the public to the opportunity to view Director Kelvin Kyung Kun Park's film as featured in the conference's Artist Talk, CHEONGGYECHEON MEDLEY! The film screening will be presented through a virtual format.

2010 | 80 Minutes | Kelvin Kyung Kun Park | Documentary/History. NR.
Free | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles

The narrator writes a letter to the ghost of his grandfather wondering if his recurring childhood nightmare of rusted metallic image is related to the family history. After running a scrap metal factory in Tokyo during World War II, his grandfather ended up in Cheonggyecheon of Seoul where rundown small scale metal workshops still exist amidst the gentrifying city. Drawing clues from fragments of dreams and myths relating to the metal, the film reveals the secret alchemy of third world modernity in Cheonggyecheon where these obsolete hand laborers still survive.

Exhibition:Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966
2021-11-14 09:00 - 17:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor
Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections. Focusing primarily on the kit house industry of Michigan and the Midwest, the catalogs provide a portal to explore multiple themes, such as, the Michigan house catalog industry, changing architectural styles, the business of selling homes, societal and cultural implications, and domestic technologies. We hope the exhibit is not simply a nostalgic view back, but raises awareness of our domestic surroundings today and compels us to ask questions as we look to the future.

The exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

Exhibition:Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan
2021-11-14 10:00 - 18:00 | Off Campus Location - MSU Broad Art Museum
This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Exhibition:Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition
2021-11-14 12:00 - 18:00 | Off Campus Location - MSU Broad Art Lab
Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas, Vanessa Mayesky, Scott Tompkins, Nico Slowik, Kimiko Uyeda, and Jenna VanFleteren.

Performance:Funny Girl
2021-11-14 14:00 - 16:00 | Power Center for the Performing Arts
Campus guests are expected to complete ResponsiBLUE Guest, the daily COVID-19 symptom check tool, prior to accessing campus buildings. U-M policy also requires all individuals — both vaccinated and unvaccinated — to wear a face covering while in a campus building or on campus transit.

This Broadway classic explores the life and career of the indomitable Jewish actress and comedian Fanny Brice, and her relationship with the professional gambler Nick Arnstein. This love letter to performers is a re-evaluation of fame, the desire for love and connection, and what “beauty” really is. FUNNY GIRL, with one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, and book by Isobel Lennart, is an inspiring story of identity, image, ambition, and a funny girl finding her way to the stage to become the greatest star. This fall, MUSKET audiences are the luckiest people in the world.

MUSKET offers FREE TICKETS to the Indigenous tribal communities of the Three Fire Peoples — the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi, the traditional Territories of which The University of Michigan resides on. As we continue live theatre on these territories, we acknowledge that The Power Center for the Performing Arts stands on land that has been obtained through the mistreatment and violence against Indigenous peoples. Although our acknowledgements do not change the past or present harms done to these communities, our acknowledgment reaffirms the ancestral ties to the land and the people that make our venues possible.

Performance:Men On Boats
2021-11-14 14:00 | Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre
Department of Theatre & Drama

Written by Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Emily Lyon (BFA ‵13, directing)

In 1869, a team of 10 men led by naturalist John Wesley Powell set out on an expedition to catalogue the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon—the first white settlers to do so. In 2015, playwright Jaclyn Backhaus set out to satirize the expedition and its bold yet arrogant explorers in a comedic tour-de-force that Time Out New York called a “thrilling, gender-flipped slice of manifest destiny.”

With a cast made up entirely of women, Men on Boats pokes fun at what New York Magazine calls the explorers’ “cockiness and cluelessness” in their attempts to exert their control on an unfamiliar (and already populated) environment. “The tone is comic, but never cute or camp,” says the New York Times. “And ultimately, you feel, the play respects its bold if fallible pioneers, in all their natural bravery and fearfulness.”

Film Screening:CJS Art of the Camera Film Series | Nobody Knows (Dare mo Shiranai)
2021-11-14 15:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Inspired by a real-life incident of child abandonment, this piercing family drama is a testament to the everyday resilience of four young siblings left to survive on their own in a Tokyo apartment. When young single mother Keiko (You) leaves home to pursue a mysterious job and a new romance, 12-year-old Akira (Yuya Yagira) must look after his younger sisters and brother, keeping the household together as money dwindles and months pass without word. With wrenching clarity and unvarnished lyricism, Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters) captures the precarious balancing act of hope and vigilance that sustains children forced to grow up much too quickly.

San Fermin is the brainchild of Brooklyn’s Ellis Ludwig-Leone, an artist with a broad musical background who pursued musical studies at Yale and sharpened his teeth working with avant-garde classical composer Nico Muhly (Björk, Grizzly Bear, Antony & the Johnsons). Emerging in 2013 with their stylistically diverse eponymous debut, the collective’s sound has evolved over the years with electronic pop and experimental rock adding new colors to their distinctive modern chamber pop.
