SUMMARY:Exhibition:Debbie Thompson Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Debbie Thompson works predominantly in clay and draws inspiration from the natural world\, which she frequently references in her work. Her interest in ceramics began in high school when she took classes at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan. She later pursued her passion at the University of Michigan School of Art and Design\, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She also holds a Master of Arts from Eastern Michigan University and has completed post-graduate studio coursework at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Maryland Institute College of Art\, Rhode Island School of Design\, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.\n\nThompson taught visual art in the Ann Arbor Public Schools for 34 years and has also taught at the University of Michigan School of Education and Washtenaw Community College. She exhibits her work both locally and nationally and was a member of the Clay Gallery. She continues her practice in her home studio and at the Potters Guild in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. She is a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and the Michigan Ceramic Art Association. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the International Dinnerware Museum.\n\nThompson’s work has been inspired by the natural world since childhood. Although she initially studied biology in college\, she later shifted her focus to visual art. The textures\, colors\, and forms in her pieces are drawn directly from nature.\nSeeds—structures that have enabled plants to move through space and time for over 600 million years—are central to her recent work. They are vital to the continuation of plant life\, and therefore to human survival.\n\nIn this exhibition\, Thompson explores the unseen structures of seeds as revealed through electron microscopy. These images highlight the intricate beauty and ingenuity of nature\, which she interprets through her wall-mounted ceramic sculptures.\n\nAt a time when our planet and its ecosystems face increasing threats\, Thompson’s work serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world. Recognizing the beauty and significance of these often-unseen forms is a crucial first step toward protecting the life systems on which we all depend.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melissa Jones Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Jones works across multiple mediums\, consistently centering the human figure\, texture\, and elements of the natural world—such as weathered surfaces\, bones\, and rust. These recurring interests create a unifying thread throughout her work\, regardless of medium.\nShe creates in both two and three dimensions\, including sculpture\, painting\, and assemblage. Oil painting is her preferred medium\, allowing her to work slowly in layered processes and achieve a wide range of nuanced effects.\n\nJones’ work is primarily figurative\, often narrative and autobiographical—though not strictly self-portraiture. Her figures are intended to evoke emotional responses that are less commonly found in landscape or other painting genres. She draws inspiration from the visual poetry of the human form\, finding beauty in subtle details: the turn of a wrist\, the curve of a spine\, or the shadow along a collarbone. She is captivated by how light illuminates the skin and how shadow defines form\, embracing the challenge of capturing this complexity in paint. Beyond physical representation\, her work also explores psychological dimensions\, aiming to convey mood and emotional depth.\n\nHer technique\, in both painting and sculpture\, is highly detailed\, realistic\, and developed gradually over time through layered processes. At times\, her work enters the realm of magical realism. While deeply personal\, her narratives remain intentionally ambiguous\, inviting viewers to interpret the imagery through their own perspectives and experiences.\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit\, Jones studied at Wayne State University\, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy. She previously worked as an art educator in the West Bloomfield School District and has exhibited professionally throughout the Detroit area since 2006\, receiving numerous awards. In addition\, she served as a board member and exhibition committee member for the Detroit Artists Market.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Resistance is Fertile: Celebrating 30 Years of Cultivating Change
DESCRIPTION:Resistance Is Fertile honors the founding moment of the Institute for Research on Women & Gender\, while speaking to the present. The institute was established because faculty members believed that research on women\, gender\, and sexuality required an institutional commitment to thrive. That belief was itself a form of resistance—to disciplinary silos\, to marginalization\, to the idea that such scholarship was peripheral.\n\nThis theme reminds us that resistance is not merely reactive\; it is constructive. When rooted in collaboration and sustained through infrastructure\, it produces knowledge that reshapes disciplines\, institutions\, and public life.\n\nThis exhibit celebrates 30 years of IRWG—its history\, its programs\, and the people whose vision and labor built it into what it is today. Through archival materials\, milestones\, and stories\, we trace the evolution of an institute that has continually expanded the boundaries of research in women\, gender\, and sexuality.\n\nThis exhibit centers growth\, collaboration\, and intellectual creativity—honoring the sustained efforts\, bold ideas\, and collective care that have shaped IRWG’s legacy and continue to guide its future.\n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Up\, Up\, And Away: A History of Ballooning in America
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit examines the history of balloon flight in the United States from Blanchard’s first ascension to the early twentieth century. In the age of bird’s-eye views\, which imagined a perspective on American cities and towns from high in the air\, balloonists were the only people who actually had the opportunity to see what the growing nation looked like from above. As the nineteenth century progressed\, ballooning became a lucrative (if dangerous) business\, as crowds gathered to watch balloons launch\, and to see aeronauts risk their lives high in the air. Over time\, the image of the hot air balloon proliferated in American print culture\, being used to sell goods ranging from thread to canned beef. We hope that this exhibit conveys some of the thrill that would have come from seeing people fly for the first time.\n\nOn view May 22-August 28\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Performance:Summer Carillon Concert Series: Jeremy Chesman
DESCRIPTION:Summer carillon concerts are free and open to all\, including to families and their pets. The music happens rain or shine. This season\, all concerts are scheduled at Lurie Tower. When you arrive\, take a program from the stand near the tower and have a seat outdoors wherever you like\, or bring your own lawn chair or blanket (even your own picnic!). Concert staff wearing nametags will be available to answer questions or direct you to accessible restrooms and other facilities. For best acoustics\, sit far enough away from the tower to have a direct line of sight to the bells.\n\nMetered visitor parking is available behind the Walgreen Drama Center. Additional street parking along Bonisteel Blvd. is available after business hours\, and metered visitor parking is available by the E.V. Moore Building (lot NC10)\, the North Campus Recreation Building (lot NC44)\, and the Art & Architecture Building (lot NC43).\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nJEREMY CHESMAN is an artist\, scholar\, teacher\, and healer (but he’s not as pretentious as he seems). He was the first person to graduate from the University of Michigan with a master’s degree in carillon performance (admittedly\, a little ostentatious). He then went on to study at the Royal Carillon School of Belgium as a fellow of the Belgian American Educational Foundation\, graduating with distinction. He subsequently earned a Doctor of Musical Arts in Organ Performance from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. During a global pandemic\, he decided it would be a good time to earn a degree in Speech-Language Pathology with a focus on voice disorders.\n\nDr. Chesman has dedicated his career to a deep study of diverse facets of music. His research in pedagogy has resulted in the book *Making Music on the Carillon* and two albums with Alfred Music of the music for the Suzuki Organ School\, volumes 7 and 8. His invited masterclasses have taken him to such institutions as Yale University and the Universities of Michigan and Texas. As speech-language pathologist\, he has presented research on the aging voice\, caring for vocal performers\, and laryngeal health. He performs regularly on organ\, carillon\, and harp in such exotic locales as Australia\, Canada\, France\, Belgium\, Sweden\, Portugal\, and the Netherlands. He is happiest making music on Sunday mornings with his faith community at St. James Episcopal Church using music\, where he uses music to help give glimpses of the divine.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Muted Volumes: Book-Objects\, Patterned Papers\, and the Closed Stacks of Buhr
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit in the Clark Library rotunda focuses on handmade decorative patterned papers when exploring books stored at the library's Buhr Offsite Shelving Facility. Decorative paper\, noticed when walking through the stack's aisles or surprising you when you casually flip through a book\, can really catch your eye. But because the Buhr stacks are closed from browsing\, the density and dimensionality of its nearly 3 million books are reduced to title searches on a screen.\n\nAs a response to these reflections\, artist and library staff member Stephanie Osorio shares her handbound unopenable book-objects as symbolic stand-ins for forgotten books at Buhr — the books that don’t get a chance to be noticed. Along with the book-objects are the carved woodblocks that made prints to decorate them. Some books from Buhr that inspired this project with their original decorated patterned papers will also be on display.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening reception on Thursday\, May 14th\, 5pm - 6:30pm\, for an opportunity to hear from the artist and engage with the book-objects.
