SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside
DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Past\, Present and Future of Disability Rights in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:In her 2011 book Disability and Mobile Citizenship in Postsocialist Ukraine (Indiana U Press)\, Phillips documented some of the significant strides that the disability rights movement in contemporary Ukraine has made in securing rights and recognition for people with disabilities. She argued that by mobilizing a set of narratives that emphasize both socialist-era attention to collectivism\, entitlements and state support\, as well as more individualist\, consumer-based narratives privileging self-sufficiency\, people with disabilities in postsocialist societies such as Ukraine are enacting a new kind of “mobile citizenship” to create and access opportunities for rehabilitation\, education\, and employment. \n    \n   How have disability rights changed during the last 5-10 years in Ukraine? What effects have the Ukrainian (Maidan) revolution of 2014-15 and the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine had on the disability rights movement\, especially with thousands of veterans with disabilities returning from the front? What might the future of disability rights in Ukraine look like? \n    \n   In this lecture Phillips considers how recent events have impacted disability rights initiatives in Ukraine by tracking the ongoing life trajectories of the “heroes” of her 2011 book—men and women living with serious physical disabilities—to ask whether people with disabilities in Ukraine are still “mobile citizens” making successful claims for individual and collective rights in a war-torn country in deep economic\, social and political crisis. \n    \n   Sarah D. Phillips is professor of anthropology and director of the Russian and East European Institute (REEI) at Indiana University. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2002. Her research specialties are in gender\, health\, disability\, social movements\, and identity politics in the former Soviet Union\, especially Ukraine. Phillips has published two books with Indiana University Press\, Women’s Social Activism in the New Ukraine: Development and the Politics of Differentiation (2008) and Disability and Mobile Citizenship in Postsocialist Ukraine (2011). She is currently co-investigator on a collaborative four-year research project at the intersection of anthropology and public health called “A Novel\, Bottom-up Approach to HIV prevention among Injecting Drug Users in Ukraine.” Phillips teaches courses in the Anthropology of Russia and East Europe\, Postsocialist Gender Formations\, and Medical Anthropology\, as well as the REEI MA Capstone seminar. \n    \n   Part of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?
