Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
2017-04-23 11:00 - 17:00 (America/Detroit) | Museum of Art
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. This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Mark Tansey, and Mickalene Thomas, among others, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also 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.

This 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.

Lead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the University of Michigan Health System, 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.

U-M students have teamed up to create this sweeping exhibition, surveying 200 years of daily rituals, social life, challenges, victories, and the roles U-M students have played in historic events. "The Journey in a Day" exhibition includes nearly 50 historic objects and dozens of photos. The exhibition includes a recreation of a Martha Cook Residence Hall room, circa 1917, amongst the first on campus to house women. A poster kiosk occupies the middle of one room in the Museum, plastered with fliers and posters from across time. A reproduction of student scrapbooks brings visitors in direct contact with individuals at various times throughout history. From the morning ritual of reading the Michigan Daily, to student reaction and involvement in U.S. wars, from the mandates and tweets of student organizations, to a survey of infamous late night Ann Arbor hot spots, this is a wide ranging exhibition with many interesting, entertaining and illuminating stories to tell.

Designed by U-M students participating in MUSEUMS 498, in the History of Art Department, in collaboration with the U-M Bicentennial Office, and the Washtenaw County Historical Society.

The exhibition Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part I: Figuration brings together a wide range of artworks that represent a variety of art movements, media and geographical regions. What many of them have in common is that they show—though in wildly different ways—reflections on the human form. Whether we are looking at a painted self-portrait of an established artist or a photograph of an unidentified person, the reoccurrence of the human body in the majority of these works allows us to explore conceptual depictions of self and other. Join Laura De Becker, UMMA's Helmut and Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art, for a discussion of works by Mickalene Thomas, Hendrik Kerstens, Herb Ritts and Beauford Delaney, among others.

Lead 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.

Performance:Paula Cole
2017-04-23 19:30 | Off Campus Location
Grammy winner Paula Cole has released six solo albums over her 20-year career. She has sold more than three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton, and she was part of the legendary Lilith Fair lineup. Poetic and fiercely touching, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock, Annie Lennox, and Katherine McPhee, to name a few. From a small town in Massachusetts, Paula Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close. She is a scholarship alumna from Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined), and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows. As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the Best Producer Grammy nomination (for her work on "This Fire"), Paula has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top-ten hits of the 1990s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums, Paula Cole continues to write, produce, record, and perform heartfelt, meaningful, lasting music that defies categorization. She comes to Michigan with a new album, "7."
