SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Thing-System of Soviet Productivism: Building the Economy of Storage in the Late USSR
DESCRIPTION:In my talk I explore late Soviet views on specificities of socialist commodity and commodity context\, moving beyond the powerful paradigms of “the culture of shortage” and “the economy of scarcity” that defined the studies of socialist consumption for the last few decades. My goal is to show that by displacing “scarcity” as the primary explanatory lens on Soviet consumption\, we can clear up some analytical and ethnographic room for processes\, practices\, concepts\, or paradigms that have been routinely overshadowed by the politically charged emphasis on shortages. I am less concerned with the political management of shortages through which socialist bureaucracy increased its “allocative power.” Instead\, I want to foreground the economy of storage by tracing the emergence of what Boris Arvatov\, a Soviet theorist\, called a thing-system (veshchnaia sistema)—that is\, a historically specific constellation of tangible objects\, institutional infrastructure\, classification protocols\, and ideological values which determined the parameters of the commodity context in late Soviet society.\n\nThe change of perspective\, I hope\, can modify the interpretative matrix: for instance\, what is perceived now as the ill-conceived “overmanning” (hoarding of labor) might reemerge as a historically available mode of (working-) class production\, or what seems as the irrational overstocking of commodities could reappear as a crucial material precondition for stimulating centripetal tendencies in an otherwise fragmented country. As I will demonstrate\, the will to rationalize the production\, accumulation\, and redistribution of objects of consumption triangulated a particular emphasis on materiality of objects able to satisfy rational needs (use-value)\, a specific economic formation for integrating space\, things\, people\, and classificatory models (Soviet storage economy)\, and a distinctive set of moral assumptions and rules aimed at regulating consumption in non-economic way (the doctrine of a Soviet mode of life).\n\nSerguei Oushakine has conducted fieldwork in the Siberian part of Russia\, as well as in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. His research is concerned with transitional processes and situations: from the formation of newly independent national cultures after the collapse of the Soviet Union to post-traumatic identities and hybrid cultural forms. His first book The Patriotism of Despair: Loss\, Nation\, and War in Russia focused on communities of loss and exchanges of sacrifices in provincial post-communist Russia. His current project explores Eurasian postcoloniality as a means of affective reformatting of the past and as a form of retroactive victimhood. Oushakine’s Russian-language publications include edited volumes on trauma\, family\, gender and masculinity. Prof. Oushakine is director of the Program in Russian and Eurasian Studies at Princeton.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guanyin Reboot: The Culture of Remakes and the Transformation of Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Traditional Buddha sculptures represent a certain kind of idealized form\, which embodies the idea of compassion in certain times of the past. Mahayana Buddhism syncretized with Confucianism\, Taoism\, Korean Shamanism and Japanese Shinto as Buddhism spread to the East. Each syncretization gave birth to unique Buddhist art aesthetics. The transformation of Buddhist sculpture stopped [MU1] as the religion reached Far East. How does an artist reboot the transformation? This lecture will discuss Yoosamu’s journey to Jingdezhen\, China to infuse contemporary aesthetics into the traditional Guanyin sculpture.\n\nBiography:\n\nYoosamu is a contemporary Korean artist. His current research works are 1) exploring secret government documents and 2) investigating the culture of remakes and the transformation of tradition. Having a multidisciplinary background in visual art as both an artist and an art director\, Yoosamu utilizes painting\, sculpture\, installation\, film and K-POP music video in creating his works. His works were included in the 2015 Animamix Biennial at Daegu Art Museum in South Korea. He has received recognitions from Cannes Lions in France and The One Show in New York. Yoosamu is currently an MFA student at the Stamps School of Art & Design\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. To learn more about Yoosamu’s work\, visit www.yoosamu.com.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\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. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.
