SUMMARY:Exhibition:Selected Works from the 22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners
DESCRIPTION:Located in the Lester P. Monts Gallery of the Detroit Center\, the Selected Works from the 22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners includes a guest reading on Saturday\, May 20 from\"Concertina MAZE: Michigan Review of Prisoner Creative Writing\, Volume 9.\"\n\nABOUT THE EXHIBITION\n\nThe first Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners was held in the University of Michigan Rackham Galleries in February 1996. Seventy works by 50 artists from 16 Michigan prisons were exhibited that year. This year\, the exhibition’s 22nd consecutive year\, we displayed 550 works of art by 450 artists on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan. We encourage you to have conversations with the artists by reading the artist statements\n\nHOW THE SHOW COMES TOGETHER\n\nEach year\, the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) submits a formal request to the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) to hold the exhibition. Once the exhibit is approved\, we send a call for submissions directly to artists and to staff at each of Michigan’s 28 prisons. Artists work independently\, using supplies they have purchased themselves\, to create their work. Art selection teams made up of Curators\, Staff\, Students\, and Volunteers travel to each prison to meet with artists\, select work and provide feedback and support to artists regardless of whether their work is selected. Our goal is to be inclusive while maintaining a high level of quality and diverse work. \n\nMost work is for sale at our exhibition in Ann Arbor and artists receive the full amount\, less any mandatory fees and taxes. PCAP does not take a percentage of sales. You can purchase artwork at the gallery desk. A red dot on the label indicates a work has been sold.\n\nA team of judges has recognized several works with awards. These are the works you see at this exhibition here at the University of Michigan Detroit Center. A distinct set of awards are given to artists at the women’s prison. These pieces are not for sale at this exhibition.\n\nAfter the exhibition\, the unsold artwork is shipped to a contact person specified by the artist. Once artwork has left the facilities\, it cannot return inside. PCAP sends each artist a packet of exhibit promotional materials\, notification of any sales\, a certificate\, and a copy of the guest book. Each facility receives a DVD of the opening reception and a slideshow of each piece of artwork so that artists can see the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.  Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition-on-View\, \"Persistent Pasts: The Bicentennial Campus as Archive\"
DESCRIPTION:Combining historical research and analysis from the students in Sarah Rovang’s “The Curated Campus” graduate seminar and the design output of Steven Mankouche’s “What If” Options Studio\, Persistent Pasts reflects on the University of Michigan’s campus as a repository of memory. As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This exhibition is supported in part by a Bicentennial Activity Grant\, co-authored by Claire Zimmerman and Sarah Rovang. \n\nThis exhibition will be on view in the Taubman College Gallery through May 19. The college gallery is open Monday - Friday\, 9am - 5pm. \n\nThere will be an presentation and panel on Friday\, April 7 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by a reception in the college gallery.
