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:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction

SUMMARY:Performance:10 Blocks on the Camino Real
DESCRIPTION:\"A big-hearted Williams one-act about love and heroism\, staged with West African flair in a performance full of vibrant song and dance\, perfectly suited to the outdoor marketplace.\"\n\nThe University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) hosts the National Theatre of Ghana in residence from September 12-17\, featuring a series of open air performances of 10 Blocks on the Camino Real\, written by Tennessee Williams. In this one-act play\, song\, dialogue and dance are used to tell the story of how the American hero Kilroy enters the pantheon of heroes by losing his innocence. The plaza of Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is a crossroads of world theater\, drawing on Williams’ experiences in Mexico\, and inspired by German theater\, Chinese opera and commedia del’arte. Ghana is the source and setting for this new production\, directed by David Kaplan\, curator of the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival. While the spoken English text is performed as written by Williams\, Spanish songs and Spanish words have been translated to Ghanaian songs and Ghanaian languages. Don Quixote has become Okomfo Okokye\, the founder of the Ashanti line of kings\, who finds his sidekick\, Osei-tutu. Other Spanish details are exchanged for Ghanaian specifics: pesos for pesewas\, fiesta for jubilee. The presiding musician plays two blue djembe drums\, rather than a blue guitar.\n\nEstablished in 1983 at the University of Ghana at Legon\, the professional theater company once known as “Abibigromma” became the resident troupe of the National Theatre of Ghana in 1991. The focus of the company is to develop a rich blend of music\, dance\, mime\, movement\, and dialogue with a strong social\, spiritual and folkloric base. In addition to performances and class visits throughout the week\, they will give a workshop for the public at the Residential College on Wednesday\, September 13 at 4pm in the East Quad Keene Theater\, and will also work with students at Ann Arbor’s Community High School\, and Mosaic Youth Theater in Detroit.\nCWPS aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Ghanaian outdoor productions here in Michigan\, staging performances in four outdoor venues through the week. These include:\n\n\nAnn Arbor Farmer’s Market \n315 Detroit Street\, Ann Arbor MI\nWednesday\, September 13 at 12pm\n\nThe Diag\nUniversity of Michigan\nFriday\, September 15 at 12pm\n\nYpsilanti Farmers Market Depot Town\n100 Rice Street\, Ypsilanti MI\nSaturday\, September 16 at 11am\n\nCMAP Detroit\n2221 Carpenter\, Detroit MI\nSunday\, September 17 at 2pm\n\n All performances are free and open to the public.
