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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Everyone Hates Politics: How the Legacy of the USSR Influences the Political Engagement of LGBT Citizens in Contemporary Russia
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Alex Kondakov will offer some explanations for the low rate of participation by lesbians and gay men in conventional political activity in Russia (such as rallies\, petitioning\, and LGBT-pride parades). Drawing on his previous work on (homo)sexual citizenship after the fall of the USSR\, and using some insights from urban studies and queer theory\, he analyzes how power was employed in the USSR from the very beginning in order to control citizens in every aspect of their lives. Prof. Kondakov emphasizes three formative steps in this process:  making all spaces public\, imposing censorship on the public sphere\, and splitting the public sphere into an official zone and an unacknowledged\, but tolerated\, off-shoot. One result was to make available to Soviet queers an alternative\, unrecognized public sphere in the USSR which they could inhabit\, along with certain urban spaces which they could claim for their own use\, despite the law against consensual sexual relations between men and despite the medicalization of female homosexuality. These urban spaces gave rise to a peculiar political culture that informs the current engagement of LGBT people in Russian grassroots politics. The Soviet past thus determines in many senses both the current government’s LGBT policy and Russian citizens’ LGBT politics.\n \nAlexander Kondakov is Assistant Professor (European University at St. Petersburg\, Russia)\, Researcher (Centre for Independent Social Research\, St. Petersburg\, Russia) and Deputy Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Social Policy Studies (Higher School of Economics\, Moscow). He is the author of various international publications on homosexuality\, human rights organizations\, and citizenship in Russia. His research interests include the sociology of human rights\, social citizenship\, and social movements.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI).\n\nCosponsored by the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies (CREES) and Slavic Languages and Literatures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:What may be the earliest writing system on the planet was invented in southern Mesopotamia (Iraq) some time during the second half of the fourth millennium BCE. The almost six thousand clay tablets inscribed in the cuneiform script consist almost entirely of administrative accounts and word lists used for teaching writing. It would take a few hundred years before the system was elaborated so that it could be used to write poetry in the Sumerian language. And yet among the earliest tablets there are a few early experiments that bear witness to attempts to create a new form of artistic written medium and a unique form of narrative\, evidencing the robustness of human semiotic imagination\; this will be the subject of this presentation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tappan Talks: \"​Painting Like a Camera: Jules Bastien-Lepage as Photo-Realist\"
DESCRIPTION:History of Art graduate students give a 20-minute presentation followed by Q & A.\n\nIn 1891\, English artist and art critic Walter Sickert coined the term “photo-realist” to describe French painter Jules Bastien-Lepage. Unlike the more familiar\, mid-twentieth century definition of photorealism\, Sickert made no claims that Bastien-Lepage painted directly from photographs. Instead\, he employed this photographic analogy to characterize Bastien-Lepage’s conceptual and material approach to painting\, an essentially documentary process that\, in Sickert’s estimation\, paralleled the function of a camera. Complaints about the “photographic” qualities of contemporary painting had become commonplace by the early 1890s\, following a period of abrupt transformation in the critical assessment of realism and the standards by which “truthful” pictures could be made. This paper analyzes the shifting responses to Bastien-Lepage’s work over the course of the 1870s and 80s to show how photography came to characterize the production and interpretation of realist painting. I suggest that Sickert and his contemporaries wielded photography as a rhetorical tool to communicate the perceived moral failings of artistic practice at the end of the nineteenth century.
