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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blossom by Blossom: Elvish Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Gabrielle Soltis creates works from the Gyldenstjerne Porcelain Company lineage. The story goes that sometime in the early 1700s\, a young Danish nobleman by the name of Einar Gyldenstjerne fell in love and married an Elvish woman named Gwyneira (surname unknown) who shared the family recipe for how to create hard-paste porcelain. The first items produced by the company are dated to 1715. Soltis’ porcelain flowers in this tradition are assembled meticulously petal by petal. She studied ceramics at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, Michigan and is interested in European history and fiction.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Cakeasaurus: Scenes from a Picture Book
DESCRIPTION:One caffeinated afternoon in 2008\, a monster appeared to Marian Short\, bragging about his many cake thefts. He was arrogant\, sugar-fueled and oddly appealing. Being a printmaker\, Short began carving the tale into woodblocks. This picture book exhibit follows the confectionary exploits of Cakeasaurus\, one cake-deprived town\, and one little boy about to turn five. It also shows the evolution of a long-term project\, with print variations and peeks into artistic process. Short is an Ann Arbor based artist and writer\, whose work has appeared in local and national exhibitions.
