SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006. All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:International Colloquium on Knowledge Networks and Health Innovation in the (North and South) Americas
DESCRIPTION:This two-day colloquium assembles leading health researchers from Canada\, the United States\, Cuba\, Costa Rica\, Brazil\, and Portugal to look at patterns of collaboration driving innovations in medical and public health research\, practice\, and policy in the Americas from the late 19th century to the present. Participants will present new research on alternative players within traditional groups of health practitioners (communist public health specialists and veterinarians\, for example)\; and on actors outside the formal health sector such as feminist organizations\, artists and architects\, public policy managers\, and patient activists. The colloquium will lay out an agenda for the next stage in thinking about the “Americas dynamic” in the interplay of global and local in health innovation.\n\nSchedule of Events:\n\nDay 1 – Ann Arbor Conference Room\, U-M Detroit Conference Center\n\n9:00 – 9:15 » Opening Remarks by STEVEN PALMER\, University of Windsor\, Canada\; and ALEXANDRA MINNA STERN\, University of Michigan\, USA\n\n9:15 –10:30 » Specialist Practitioners: Inter-American and Anti-American Networks\n\nGILBERTO HOCHMAN\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “The Red Network: Doctors\, Internationalists\, and Public Health in Cold War Brazil”\n\nJOEL HOWELL\, University of Michigan\, USA\; SIMONE KROPF\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: \"Medicine\, Technology and Politics: Interamericanism and US-Brazil Exchanges in Cardiology in the 1940s\"\n\n10:30 – 10:45 » Coffee break\n\n10:45 – 12:45 » Feminists: Eugenics\, Biotypology\, Reproductive Rights\n\nCAROL VIMIEIRO\, Universidade Federal Minas Gerais\, Brazil: “Average\, Normal and Beautiful: Bodily Representations in Brazilian Biotypology\, 1930-1940”\n\nALEXANDRA STERN\, University of Michigan\, USA: “Genetics and Genomics in Latin America: From Eugenics to Social Justice Uses of Genetics”\n\nMARÍA CARRANZA\, Inciensa\, Costa Rica: “The Awakening of the Women’s Movement to Therapeutic Sterilization and Abortion in Costa Rica: Tracing the Propagation of an Interest.”\n\nANNIKA HARTMANN\, Justus-Liebig University\, Germany: “Discussing the Beginning of Human Life – Medical Knowledge\, Transnational Population Politics and the Abortion Debate in Guatemala in the 1970s.”\n\n12:45-1:45 » Catered lunch in Center\n\n1:45-2:45 » Academics: Styles of Health Research in the Social Sciences\, Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Windsor\n\nELEANOR MATICKA-TYNDALE\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “Health Research and Community Connections”\n\nSTEPHEN PENDER\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “Friendship\, Counsel and Compassion in Early Modern Medical Thought: Expanding the Notion of Health Networks”\n\nJENNIFER WILLET\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “INCUBATOR: Hybrid Laboratory at the Intersection of Art\, Science and Ecology”\n\n2:45 – 3:30 » Brazilians: FIOCRUZ\n\nNÍSIA LIMA\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “Fiocruz: From National to Global Matrix of Health Research” // Commentary by Diego Armus\, Alexandra Stern\, Steven Palmer\n\n3:30 – 3:45 »	Coffee break\n\n3:45 – 4:45 » Keynote Presentation by MARCOS CUETO\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “Lost in Translation?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.
