SUMMARY:Film Screening:Nam June Paik: The Moon is the Oldest TV followed by a Q&A with Chien-An Yuan
DESCRIPTION:The Nam Center for Korean Studies is delighted to sponsor this screening! Known as the \"Father of Video Art\,\" Nam June Paik was a visionary who predicted our hyper-connected world decades before the internet existed. His work blended deep philosophy with playful mischief\, famously using everything from magnets to ancient statues to redefine how we interact with screens. \n\nPaik’s journey is a powerful story of resilience. Despite facing years of financial and visa struggles in New York\, he stayed true to his avant-garde roots and was eventually welcomed back to Korea as a national hero. This film\, Nam June Paik: The Moon is the Oldest TV\, captures his electric life through rare archival footage and personal diaries\, featuring peers like John Cage and Joseph Beuys. \n\nJoin us for this inspiring look at a Korean-American icon\, followed by a Q&A with Chien-An Yuan\, an Ann Arbor-based interdisciplinary artist\, designer\, and educator\, Yuan is a founding member of the AAPI performance collaborative IS/LAND and runs the record label 1473. His diverse work in sound and visuals has been featured in The New Yorker and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Muted Volumes: Book-Objects\, Patterned Papers\, and the Closed Stacks of Buhr
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit in the Clark Library rotunda focuses on handmade decorative patterned papers when exploring books stored at the library's Buhr Offsite Shelving Facility. Decorative paper\, noticed when walking through the stack's aisles or surprising you when you casually flip through a book\, can really catch your eye. But because the Buhr stacks are closed from browsing\, the density and dimensionality of its nearly 3 million books are reduced to title searches on a screen.\n\nAs a response to these reflections\, artist and library staff member Stephanie Osorio shares her handbound unopenable book-objects as symbolic stand-ins for forgotten books at Buhr — the books that don’t get a chance to be noticed. Along with the book-objects are the carved woodblocks that made prints to decorate them. Some books from Buhr that inspired this project with their original decorated patterned papers will also be on display.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening reception on Thursday\, May 14th\, 5pm - 6:30pm\, for an opportunity to hear from the artist and engage with the book-objects.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Seldom Scene
DESCRIPTION:Legendary bluegrass\n\nFifty-three years into a legendary career\, much has changed about The Seldom Scene\, starting with the venerable progressive bluegrass quintet’s various lineup iterations over time. But even as band members have stepped in and out of various roles\, what’s most important is what hasn’t changed: an undeniable knack for blending both old and new music and traditions without sacrificing what makes either potent and durable. Their current iteration is a true blue lineup: guitarist mandolin player Lou Reid\, bassist Ronnie Simpkins\, banjoist and fiddler Ron Stewart\, dobro player Fred Travers\, and guitarist Clay Hess.\n\nSince they started up together in 1971\, The Seldom Scene has dexterously performed original and traditional songs while presenting fiery and soulful reinterpretations of material by Merle Haggard\, James Taylor\, and more. The concept of bluegrass unshackling itself from a conservative\, straight-ahead mindset seems like a given now\, when some of its biggest stars fill stadiums and cross over with mainstream audiences\, but the continued presence of the Scene acts as a reminder that it wasn’t always so. Even if their playing style feels more at home in intimate clubs\, where the audience can feel their exuberance radiating from the stage\, the Scene’s elastic relationship to genre established an important precedent that encouraged their contemporaries and allowed bluegrass bands to expand their repertoire in ways that laid the groundwork for today’s bluegrass boom.
