SUMMARY:Performance:Ellis Paul
DESCRIPTION:A master of modern songwriting\n\nEllis Paul doesn’t just write songs\; he’s a guitar-carrying reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes\, loves\, losses of those he observes\, turning their stories into luminous pieces of music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. And much like the artists who have influenced him\, everyone from Joni Mitchell\, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly his greatest inspiration\, Woody Guthrie\, Paul weaves deeply personal experiences with social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as timely as they are timeless. \n\nBorn and raised in Maine\, Paul attended Boston College on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on the city’s open mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition\, he caught the ear of folk luminary Bill Morrissey\, who produced his indie album Say Something in 1993. This led to a seven album contract with Rounder Records and the 1994 album\, Stories. His songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (Me\, Myself\, and Irene\; Shallow Hal\, Hall Pass) and have been covered by award winning country artists (Sugarland\, Kristian Bush\, Jack Ingram). \n\nThrough a steady succession of albums of his own – a remarkable 23 releases so far – and a constant touring presence around the world\, Paul’s audience has grown into a loyal legion of fans. Along the way\, he has picked up an impressive number of awards including the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award\, 15 Boston Music Awards\, An Honorary Doctorate from the University of Maine\, the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards Artist of the Year and most recently his album\, The Storyteller’s Suitcase\, was named the 2019 NERFA Album of the Year.\n\nHis latest album “55” touches on the necessity of gratitude in a difficult era of the pandemic and divided political stances on his own imprint\, Rosella Records.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:You Next
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Duderstadt Center Gallery presents “You Next”\, a duo exhibition by Thede Ambrose and Kate Donoghue\, curated by Nathan Byrne.\n\nOpening: Friday\, May 29th 6-9pm\nClosing: Sunday\, June 28th 2-5pm\n\nArtifacts\, Illusion\, and the Speculative mediate the exchange between Thede Ambrose and Kate Donoghue’s practices.\n\nReferencing both personal and found documentary and advertisement imagery\, Donoghue investigates the vacuous and hauntingly banal underbelly of commercial aspirations\, constructing paintings that collapse expectations of consumerism into innate and corrupted desires.\n\nAmbrose navigates mediated violence\, spirituality\, and the abject\, manifesting in perverse articulations of belief and reality. Imagistic sculpture and installation are generated through an expansive material interest\, and an extensive archive of found imagery.\n\n“You Next” presents the collisions of these practices. Cautionary tales\, dreams\, and fantasies of objectification come to a head in this collaboration between the two artists.\n\nGallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday\, Noon-6pm and Sunday Noon-6 pm
