SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE IMPORTANCE OF MISREADING RUSSIA
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Paloff is the author of Lost in the Shadow of the Word (Space\, Time\, and\nFreedom in Interwar Eastern Europe) (Northwestern University Press\, forthcoming).  He has twice received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and has been a fellow of the U.S. Fulbright Programs and the Stanford Humanities Center. \n\nThis lecture will survey major trends in the last two centuries of Russian literature and culture\, and we will do so by considering how viewing Russia\, albeit from afar\, continues to have a decisive impact on politics\, science\, and the arts in\nWestern Europe and North America. We will examine some especially colorful examples of Russian sources inspiring\, complicating and occasionally subverting the best of Western intentions.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is Russia – Unriddled. The next lecture will be October 13 entitled Russia as a Dissatisfied Power.

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:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series |  From Security to Refuge: Visibility and Vulnerability in Japanese Cinema
DESCRIPTION:This talk aims to interrogate the relationship between cinema and security in Japanese cinema. My question is whether it is possible for cinema to help locate forms of refuge today that are distinct from security. Drawing on several examples of moving image media in Japan\, I will argue that one of the key components of locating refuge involves a shift of emphasis from a politics of visibility to one of vulnerability. Visibility is central to the politics of security in all its modalities. While amplifying fear\, security works to obscure any kind of care (indeed\, etymologically\, the term security—securitas—refers to the absence of care). Vulnerability\, on the other hand\, opens possibilities for care foreclosed by the fear and aggression of security.  Such a distinction raises multiple questions. How does an image that emphasizes visibility differ from one that emphasizes vulnerability? How does the relationship between visibility and vulnerability intersect with that between image and narrative (or other non-visual elements)\, or specific modes\, such as documentary\, or animation?\n\nPhil Kaffen’s research and teaching interests revolve around the role of the image in modern societies\, from intersections of art and technology in optical media to theoretical reflections on imagination and representation to the politics of surveillance and security. His primary research field is Japan. He has published essays on bodies and urban space in documentary and fiction film\, and on violence in cinema during the 1970s. He is currently working on a book project tentatively titled: Immediacy and Refuge: Rethinking the Place of Cinema in Japan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Transformations of warfare in the pre-Columbian Andes: warrior kings\, hillfort communities\, and conquest empires
DESCRIPTION:Scholarly treatments of warfare in the Andes have often assumed deep continuities in Andean practice and worldview over the sequence. But in fact\, the archaeological record is one of tremendous variability in warfare over time and space.  Here I compare three different moments in the Andean sequence to highlight the most marked contrasts in the practice and the symbolism of warfare. Societies of the Early Intermediate Period\, most famously represented by the Moche\, developed elaborate traditions of warlike imagery and performance as the elite class engaged in factional rivalries and attempted to naturalize relationships of social dominance. Societies of the Late Intermediate Period in the highlands waged fierce land wars that threatened the population at large\, without referencing warfare in symbolism or spectacle.  Chimu and Inca conquests inaugurated a new role for war as the primary technique of coercive control of populations and their territories. In this talk\, I inquire how changing conditions of political interaction over time may have shaped the aims of both warfare and war-related spectacle in the Andes.
