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:Mapping in the Enlightenment: Science\, Innovation\, and the Public Sphere
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit uses examples from the Clements Library collection to tell the story of creating\, distributing\, and using maps during the long 18th century. Enlightenment thinking stimulated the effort to make more accurate maps\, encouraged the growth of map collecting and map use by men and women in all social classes\, and expanded the role of maps in administration and decision-making throughout Europe and her overseas colonies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U​–M art professor Jim Cogswell has been 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 will adhere 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 will 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.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Picturing Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Featuring a selection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs from the Museum’s collection\, Picturing Buildings illuminates the enduring appeal of photographing architecture\, from historic Turkish mosques and New York City skyscrapers\, to industrial factories and intimate domestic interiors. Each of these visually and spatially complex sites provides photographers with representational challenges and endless opportunities to innovate. This exhibition explores how photographers working in a range of contexts—from travel photography and photojournalism to historical documentation and modern art—use architecture to develop pictorial strategies in their own medium. Through selective framing\, dramatic perspectival distortion\, and heightened contrasts between light and dark\, photographers reinterpret their architectural subjects by focusing on the creative act of constructing a photograph. The resulting images reveal our surrounding built environment in new ways and highlight the intriguing transformation that takes place when the camera converts three dimensions into two.\n\nLead support for Picturing Buildings: Photographers and Architecture\, 1855-1985 is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
DESCRIPTION:Wavefunction\, Subsculpture 9\, by Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer\, is a kinetic sculpture and interactive installation that plays on the work of mid-century American designers Charles and Ray Eames.\n\nThe installation consists of 42 molded plastic chairs (designed by the Eameses in 1948) arranged in a grid and attached to electromechanical pistons. When visitors approach the chairs\, a surveillance system detects their presence and the closest chairs lift gently off the ground. The adjacent chairs follow\, and a wave movement spreads across the array. The software controlling the pistons is based on fluid dynamics\, so as more visitors approach the grid\, the chairs—whose iconic curving contours were also generated mathematically— mimic the complex interaction of multiple waves in water.\n\nThis performative installation complements the concurrent exhibition Moving Image: Performance\, which together constitute the second of three presentations at UMMA drawn from the collection of Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul. The works in this year-long trio of exhibitions represent traditional categories such as portraiture\, landscape\, and performance that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Wavefunction\, Subsculpture 9 is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and Michigan Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Latina/o Studies.
