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. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Army Research Laboratory Efforts in Complexity and Emergence
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE NEW LOCATION - 10TH FLOOR WEISER FLOOR*\n\nAbstract\nThe Army Research Laboratory has recently singled out basic research in Complexity and Emergence spanning the physical\, biological\, social\, and engineering sciences as a one of a small set of future essential research areas. Inspiration to recognize this domain largely stems from both a plethora of advances in the scientific community as well as high-level Army strategy and policy. A recent report on Army Science Strategy and Planning describes how the Army must contend with problems wherein objectives and constraints evolve in unpredictable ways and how complexity arises from the increasing heterogeneity\, connectivity\, scale\, dynamics\, functionality and interdependence of networked elements. Leaning forward\, the Army places priority on developing mathematical models for predicting non-equilibrium behavior of complex multi-scale systems that advance our understanding beyond statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics. After a brief but broad overview of the Army Research enterprise\, the talk will discuss how the Complex Dynamics and Systems program at the Army Research Office is advancing this call in areas such as the emergent physics of animal locomotion\, guided self-organization\, and transdisciplinary efforts at the intersection of statistical mechanics and control theory.  Highlights of several ongoing Laboratory research efforts will also be presented for potential collaborative efforts.\n\nLight Refreshments will be served.\n\nThis special seminar will take place in the new event space - 10th floor Weiser Hall.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | The Limits of Chinese Buddhism: Protecting the State in the Dali Kingdom (937-1253)
DESCRIPTION:Please note the new time and location for our 2017-18 lecture series.\n\nThe Dali Kingdom governed a large swath of territory in what is now southwest China and Southeast Asia. Its rulers embraced Buddhism\, especially the state-protection Buddhism of the Renwang jing (Scripture for Humane Kings)\, which was written in fifth-century China. This talk uses texts and images related to the Renwang jing from the Dali kingdom to examine how border regions like Dali challenge the academic category of “Chinese Buddhism.” \n    \nMegan Bryson is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. Her research focuses on Buddhism and local religion in the Dali region of southwest China as well as the themes of gender and ethnicity in Chinese religions. Professor Bryson has published several articles on these topics in journals such as \"Asian Ethnology\"\, \"Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies\"\, and \"Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society\". Her monograph\, “Goddess on the Frontier: Religion\, Ethnicity\, and Gender in Southwest China” was published by Stanford University Press last year. She spent the 2016-17 academic year on an ACLS fellowship to work on a new project on Buddhist networks in the Dali kingdom.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.
