SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Power and Performance: The Bruges Mantelpiece to Charles V
DESCRIPTION:How were political art works able to mediate between rival interests\, to enhance the power and presence of rulers while buttressing the competing rights and privileges of their subjects? And in what ways did sculpture address these problems that painting could not? The carved mantelpiece dedicated to Charles V in Bruges is a revealing example that derives its agency partly from rituals designed to reconcile these conflicting demands.\n\nThe mantelpiece\, with its life-size statues encroaching on communal space\, could induce a series of performances by beholders\, structured by memories of previous social and political practices. Such monuments might best be explored through notions of performativity\, of collective acts both executed and retraced that regulated power relationships. Their spatial\, plastic\, and material properties are all essential to its efficacy in shaping beliefs and framing public interaction.\n\nMatt Kavaler is director\, Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies\, Victoria College in the University of Toronto

SUMMARY:Other:Metamorphosis Chat: Of Turkish Living Rooms and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:In his video work Metamorphosis Chat\, on view at UMMA through March 27\, Turkish artist Ferhat Özgür offers a warm and intensely personal experience of what has become a complex moral debate within Turkish culture: wearing the headscarf.

Their expressions of friendship\, compassion\, and respect for one another\, are symbolic of the potential for human kinship and understanding. Join U-M Institute for the Humanities Curator Amanda Krugliak\, and Professors Gottfried Hagen (Turkish and Near Eastern Studies)\, Christiane Gruber (History of Art)\, and Heidi Kumao and David Chung (School of Art and Design)\, for an informal and dynamic discussion that will consider Özgür’s piece from cultural as well as artistic points of view.\n \n5:30 pm Metamorphosis Chat (9:25 min)\, Media Gallery\n6-7 pm Discussion\, Multipurpose Room
