SUMMARY:Exhibition:Extreme Time
DESCRIPTION:Think you know all about time? What about things that happen in femtoseconds or eons? Time in the natural world is so extreme\, you can’t even perceive most of its scale unaided. You’ll be amazed by the types of time you can explore in our new exhibit\, and learn more about everyday time and how we measure it\, too! The exhibit is open!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Graffiti to Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the current state of the New Contemporary Art movement. Current counter-culture genres have emerged into the spotlight of the creative class. The talk will present a vast overview of how graffiti\, skateboarding\, hip-hop and punk rock cultures have emerged from the underground to be coveted by art collectors\, art auctions\, museums\, and the mainstream.  Jesse Cory is currently CEO of 1xRUN\, a Detroit based publisher of fine art editions. He also co-founded the Inner State Gallery in Eastern Market as well as Murals in the Market\, Detroit’s first international mural festival.   This lecture is for adults 50+.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catherine Opie: 700 Nimes Road
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents new and recent work by Los Angeles-based artist Catherine Opie\, one of the essential figures in contemporary photography. Beginning in 2010\, Opie spent six months taking photographs at the Bel Air\, California\, residence of Elizabeth Taylor (1932–2011). The exhibition includes fifty works drawn from two series\, Closets and Jewels and 700 Nimes Road. Opie’s lens captures the essence of the Hollywood legend through her personal objects and mementos\, and portrays Taylor’s life experience and eccentricity as an illusory subject\, one that cannot be specifically designated or precisely described. In the artist’s words\, the project is not about the relationship to celebrity but about “the relationship to what is human.”

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:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Characterization of Circadian Feeding Rhythms in Drosophila Using the Fly Liquid-Food Interaction Counter (FLIC) Assay
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe circadian clock offers an internal estimate of the external time of day and is used to precisely time behavior and physiology to promote survival and fitness. In mammals\, mounting evidence has established a correlation between a disrupted circadian clock and metabolic dysfunction\, presumably due to the desynchronization of feeding with the optimal phase of endogenous metabolic rhythms. Although much is known about how feeding is positively and negatively regulated through endocrine and neuronal control\, relatively little is known about how the central circadian clock regulates feeding. Thanks to its genetic tractability and relative simplicity of its central nervous system\, Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful model organism for understanding the genetic and neural basis of circadian rhythms. Here we have used a sensitive and high through-put feeding assay\, the fly liquid-food interaction counter\, to systematically characterize the circadian feeding behavior of flies in a manner that allows for the extended observation of feeding behavior in the absence of experimental perturbation\, an approach that makes possible the recording of diurnal and circadian rhythms in feeding over many cycles. We found that commonly used genetic backgrounds display anticipatory morning and evening peaks of feeding under a 12-hour-light/12-hour-dark cycle (LD) that are highly reminiscent of locomotor rhythms. Analysis of the feeding behavior of loss of function clock gene mutants reveal that morning and evening anticipation are dependent on the canonical molecular circadian clock. Moreover\, using a highly sensitive assay for circulating sugars\, we establish that trehalose levels are tightly regulated by circadian clock genes\, per\, in a restricted feeding regimen.
