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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
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. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art 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 Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, 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:Fair / Festival:BioArtography Booth at the Ann Arbor Art Fair
DESCRIPTION:BioArtography will be in Booth #102 on East University (near intersection of E. University/Willard) at Ann Arbor’s South University Art Fair! \n \nEvery day at the University of Michigan\, scientists from many fields work together to study organism development\, function and disease. While the goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world around us\, many are also taking the time to share the beauty of their work with others through a program called BioArtography. In the course of research\, scientists use special stains to add color to the otherwise transparent tissues. Microscopes then allow detailed observation of the tiny\, colorful biological structures from inside our bodies revealed in these images. This results in a fascinating combination of art and science that U-M researchers are capturing in pictures taken through microscopes and turning into artworks that would look beautiful on any wall.\n\nFounded in 2005 by Deborah Gumucio\, Ph.D.\, and Sue O’Shea\, Ph.D.\, professors in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology\, BioArtography has developed into a thriving program. Gumucio\, who leads the project\, says the effort to turn science into art helps bring the microscopic world to life for the general public — and shows that researchers aren’t just about data and facts.\n\nPast BioArtography sales have raised enough money to send more than 80 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to scientific conferences\, where they can present their work to other scientists and make connections that can help them launch their careers in research and industry.\n\nThroughout the year BioArtography images (a collection of over 200) and note cards can be viewed and ordered online at www.bioartography.com. Proceeds from the sale of this work help support the training of our next generation of researchers.
