SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hiroshi Yoshioka: Hiroshima\, Fukushima\, and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Hiroshima\, Fukushima\, and Beyond: Borders and Transgressions in Nuclear Imagination\nA talk by Hiroshi Yoshioka\, Professor\, Kokoro Research Center \nGraduate School of Art and Letters\, Kyoto University\n\nOrganized by the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan in collaboration with the Center for Japanese Studies\, this talk focuses on several different images and narratives related to nuclear power\, radiation\, explosion\, and nuclear disasters in the context of postwar Japan. They include visions inspired by atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945\, the diffusion of a legend hiding a possible atomic bombing\, and images representing both hopes and fears about nuclear experiments and construction of nuclear power plants during the period of postwar economic growth after the 1950s. Today we find various images and narratives related to the Fukushima nuclear crisis caused by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Many people in Japan in the 1950s who longed for industrial development were convinced that nuclear power would be okay because it would be used for peaceful purposes and because experts assured it was technically safe\, although they were still obsessed by nightmarish memories of the nuclear attacks exerted on the nation only a decade before. Their mind was\, in a way\, split into two totally different perceptions of nuclear power: a kind of psychological “border” was set in people’s mind\, a border dividing a “good” nuclear energy from a “bad” one. In the realm of imagination\, however\, this border is sometimes transgressed in unexpected ways\, and we find such transgressions in images in popular culture as well as in works of art\, including most recently in the animated film\, In This Corner of the World.\n\nHiroshi Yoshioka is professor at Kokoro Research Center\, Kyoto University. He is a researcher of aesthetics and art theory\, freelance curator\, editor\, and artist. He has taught at IAMAS (Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences)\, and other universities. He is the author of many books such as Shiso no genzaikei: Fukuzatsukeu\, dennokukan\, afodansu (The Present Tense of Thought: Complex Systems\, Cyberspace\, and Affordance Theory)\, Kodansha\, 1997\; Joho to seimei: No\, kompyuta\, uchu (Information and Life: The Brain\, Computers and the Universe) with Hisashi Muroi\, Shin’yosha\, 1993\; and many essays and articles on philosophy\, art\, and media culture. He was the general director of Kyoto Biennale 2003 and Gifu-Ogaki Biennale of New Media Arts 2006. He was the editor of Diatxt (the critical quarterly of the Kyoto Art Center) and other publications such as Yorobon\, which focuses on culture of the city of Yamaguchi\, and Parajin\, the publication project of PARASOPHIA Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture 2015. He was the chair of ICOMAG (International Conference of Manga\, Animation\, Games and Media Arts) organized by the Agency of Cultural Affairs\, 2011-13. He has been a member of the multimedia installation project BEACON since 1999. He is the president of the Japanese Society of Aesthetics.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Visualizing the Social--Introductory Talks
DESCRIPTION:This conference explores the powerful and variegated engagement with the social in visual art from the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1848 and the Paris Commune of 1871 to the reshaping of the political landscape by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. How did producers of pictures and other forms of visual imagery respond to and assist in the construction of an environment configured by the class divisions and conflicts endemic to developed capitalism? Our aim is to examine how this new social landscape was visualized in artistic initiatives that took a variety of forms\, from social realism to avant-garde experimentation. \n\nThe conference begins on Friday evening with introductory talks on the conference theme. On Saturday presentations by an international panel of distinguished speakers will be complemented by discussion of the broader issues raised by the conference\, including the continued relevance of social art history for our contemporary political period and for cultural history more generally.\n\nVISUALIZING THE SOCIAL - Schedule\n\nFriday  September 22\, 5pm-7pm\nAlex Potts (History of Art\, University of Michigan) ‘Introduction: Visual Art and the Politics of the Social’\nGeoff Eley (History\, University of Michigan)\, keynote talk ‘Intellectuals\, Socialism\, and the Social: Germany\, 1875-1933’. \n\nSaturday September 23\, 9am-6pm\n\nThe Age of Capital\n9:00-9:15 Introductory comments\n9:15 - 10:45\nDarcy Grimaldo Grigsby (History of Art\, University of California Berkeley)  ‘Creole Degas’ \nSteve Edwards (History of Art\, Birkbeck College\, UK) ‘Suspended Time: Antoine Claudet's studio at Regent Street and the Shock of 1848’ \n10:45-11:00 Coffee break\n1:00 – 12:30\nAndré Dombrowski (History of Art and Gender\, Sexuality and Women’s Studies\, University of Pennsylvania) ‘Instants\, Moments\, Minutes: Monet and Time Discipline’ \nMarnin Young (Art History\, Yeshiva University) ‘Seurat\, Spatiality and the Politics of Form’\n12:30-1:00 Response paper by Alex Fraser (University of Michigan\, History of Art) and general discussion\n\n1:00-2:00 Lunch\n\nCommunism\, Revolution and the Social \n2:00-3:30\nAndrés Mario  Zervigón (Rutgers University\, Art History and Center for Cultural Analysis) ‘The Raised and Mangled Hand of Leftist Solidarity\,1911-1933’\nAndrew Hemingway (History of Art\, University College London\, UK\, Emeritus) ‘Class Compositions: Visual Forms of the Mass in American Realist Art\, c. 1905-35’ \n3:30-3:45 Break\n3:45-5:15\nChristina Kiaer (Northwestern University\, Art History) ‘Revolution Every Day: Propagandizing Women in Early Soviet Russia’\nGail Day (History of Art and Cultural Studies\, University of Leeds\, UK) ‘Every day\, something happens to us: Realism at the crossroads’\n5:15-5:45 Response paper by Grant Mandarino (History of Art\, University of Michigan) and general discussion\n5:45-6:00 Concluding discussion

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Nights at the Museum | US Premiere Screening: Einstein on the Beach
DESCRIPTION:UMMA will once again illuminate its facade with eight days of artwork\, performances\, and video during Nights At the Museum this September.\n\nUMMA’s exterior media art initiative is free and open to the public\, and will run September 15-22 from early evening to dawn along its South State Street-side facade\, on the west side of the Maxine and Stuart Frankel and the Frankel Family Wing. \n\nEinstein on the Beach breaks all of the rules of conventional opera. Instead of a traditional orchestral arrangement\, Glass composed for the synthesizers\, woodwinds\, and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. Non-narrative in form\, the work uses a series of powerful recurrent images as its main dramatic device\, shown in juxtaposition with abstract dance sequences created by American choreographer Lucinda Childs.\n\nUMMA encourages viewers to bring blankets and chairs to enjoy the performances on the lawn\, and to send feedback using the #ummanights hashtag on social media sites. \n\nNights at the Museum is presented in partnership with the University Musical Society\, the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance and Department of Screen Arts & Cultures\, the Ann Arbor District Library\, and the Neutral Zone.\n\nGet the full schedule at umma.umich.edu/nights!

SUMMARY:Other:Celeste Ng with Douglas Trevor
DESCRIPTION:Celeste Ng grew up in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, and Shaker Heights\, Ohio\, in a family of scientists. She attended Harvard University and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan (now the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan)\, where she won the Hopwood Award. Her fiction and essays have appeared in One Story\, TriQuarterly\, Bellevue Literary Review\, the Kenyon Review Online\, and elsewhere\, and she is the recipient of the Pushcart Prize. She lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, with her husband and son.\n\nCeleste will be in conversation with Douglas Trevor\, Director of the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan\n\nAbout Little Fires Everywhere:\nIn Shaker Heights\, a placid\, progressive suburb of Cleveland\, everything is meticulously planned—from the layout of the winding roads\, to the colors of the houses\, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson\, whose guiding principal is playing by the rules.\n\nEnter Mia Warren- an enigmatic artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl\, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the alluring mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past\, and a disregard for the rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.\n\nWhen the Richardsons’ friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby\, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town and puts Mia and Mrs. Richardson on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives\, Mrs. Richardson becomes determined to uncover the secrets in Mia’s past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs to her own family—and Mia’s.\n\nLittle Fires Everywhere explores the weight of long-held secrets and the ferocious pull of motherhood—and the danger of believing that planning and following the rules can avert disaster\, or heartbreak.
