SUMMARY:Exhibition:Susan Moran Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Susan Moran’s work is inspired by the natural world and our place in it.  She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles.  Simultaneously she strives to make the medium  influence the  outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses  silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours:  Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Modernist Wish: Europe in the Twentieth Century
DESCRIPTION:During recent decades\, seismic shifts have animated historians' thinking\, driven by the cumulative challenges of new gendered\, global\, and racial histories. How have these critical perspectives transformed the construction of historical knowledge and shaped the writing of the history of twentieth-century Europe? If we dethrone masculinity\, dismantle Eurocentrism\, and decenter the metropole\, what will the new frameworks look like?\n\nFriday\, November 15\n1014 Tisch Hall\n \n9:00 am: Welcome\n\n9:15-10:00 am: Keynote\nGeoff Eley (University of Michigan): Generative Optimism: How Do We Write the Twentieth Century?\n\n10:15 am-12:15 pm: Living in Modernity\nTracie Matysik (University of Texas at Austin): Biopolitics and the Nonhuman\nMonica Black (University of Tennessee-Knoxville): Modernity and the Everyday\nComments: Scott Spector (University of Michigan)\n\n2:00-4:00 pm: Modernity as a Finite Destination\nAnne Berg (University of Pennsylvania): Extractivism: Garbage and Modern Violence\nRoberta Pergher (Indiana University): The Wish for Citizenship: Belonging and Empowerment in a Low Dishonest Decade\nLewis Siegelbaum (Michigan State University): Modernity’s Hubris: Societies\, States\, and Accelerated Transformation\nComments: Dario Gaggio (University of Michigan)\n\n4:00-6:00 pm: The Modernist Wish Roundtable\nKathleen Canning (Rice University)\nLucy Hartley (University of Michigan)\nDeborah Field (University of Michigan)\nIsmael Biyashev (University of Michigan)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch
DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.
