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:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography\, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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
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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Problematizing Populism: The Polish Radical Right and the Return of National Communism
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to be confused by the rhetoric of the current political struggle in Poland. On the one hand\, the ruling party presents itself as the most uncompromising opponent of communism and its legacy\, but on the other hand\, many liberal critics see a resurrection of the communist state. Although these two claims seem mutually exclusive\, both are partly correct. The current government’s ostentatious Catholicism\, as well as its glorification of the armed resistance to the Soviet Union in the late 1940s would not suggest hidden communist sympathies. But just below the surface of this undeniable anticommunism\, the current government has indeed perpetuated a strand of Polish politics with roots stretching back to the period before 1989. Recognizing this historical context not only helps us understand the current regime\, but retrospectively casts a new light on the whole postwar era. \n\nBrian Porter-Szűcs is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, where he has taught since 1994. He is the author of several books including: \"Poland and the Modern World: Beyond Martyrdom\" (Wiley Blackwell\, 2014) and \"Faith and Fatherland: Catholicism\, Modernity\, and Poland\" (Oxford UP\, 2010)\, which won the Kulczycki Book Prize from the Association for Slavic\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies (2012). His research has been supported by grants from the American Council for Learned Societies\, the Fulbright Association\, the United States Institute for Peace\, and the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research. Porter-Szűcs received his doctorate in history from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He blogs about Polish politics\, culture\, society\, and history at http://porterszucs.pl/.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Worldsheet CFTs for Microstate Geometries
DESCRIPTION:In string theory\, black hole microstates at finite coupling give rise to horizon-scale structures that might solve the information paradox. Explicit constructions of these solutions are based on configurations of branes puffed up by the supertube effect. In an appropriate duality frame\, we can construct the simplest supertube by adding momentum to a symmetric distribution of NS5 branes on their Coulomb branch. This suggests an exact worldsheet description of the supertube as a null gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model. Such exact treatment in worldsheet string theory also describes BPS and non-BPS three-charge microstate geometries. This construction reveals stringy structures that are invisibile in the supergravity approximation\, and that play a crucial role in understanding the constituents that carry most of the entropy.
