First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Misery appalls and magnetises. Creation means possibility but also beckons dissolution and catastrophe. Change – perhaps most radically projected as “conversion” – is at once an exhilarating and menacing prospect. When meanings are destabilised and predictabilities lost\, experiences of opportunity and of awe jostle with feelings of anxiety and insignificance. Even love casts its shadows\, turning what is intimate and familiar into the province of comfort but also dread. Revered ancestors become ghosts\, dear neighbours witches. There is desire in absence\, monster in treasure\, chaos in awe. \n\nA distinguished\, international selection of scholars from across the humanities and social sciences gathers in Ann Arbor to explore the entwinement of horror and enchantment – amidst the intrusions and disturbances that characterised the medieval and early modern worlds – in an array of the post-colonial settings and cultural imaginations they helped to set in motion – and in a recognition of the fact that to investigate the coincidence of horror and enchantment in the past is also to inquire into ourselves\, and into the volatilities and predicaments of our own times and places.\n\nconvened by:\nKenneth Mills\, University of Michigan\nKris Lane\, Tulane University\nAto Quayson\, Stanford University\n\nFeaturing:\nJosiah Blackmore\, Harvard\nClifton Crais\, Emory\nHarry Garuba\, Capetown\nHelen Hills\, York (UK)\nMegan Holmes\, Michigan\nKris Lane\, Tulane\nPaul Christopher Johnson\, Michigan\nAnne Lester\, Johns Hopkins\nJeff Malpas\, Tasmania\nKenneth Mills\, Michigan\nMarcy Norton\, Pennsylvania\nKatrina B.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770230@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T102315 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831197@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T125027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Molecularium DESCRIPTION:The new Planetarium & Dome has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511286@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884085@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820757@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988392@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

They set in motion over 500 construction projects\, and trained over 300 Soviet designers\, technicians\, and draftsmen in American methods of design and implementation. During the very years in which architects from Detroit helped build Soviet factories\, in notable cases with prefabricated components imported from the US\, urban theories on linear city morphology as a fitting mode for industrialization blossomed in the USSR. English-language publications such as USSR in Construction featured compelling images of these monumental achievements\, depicting Soviet progress in culture as well as technology. “Soviet Detroit\,” as the industrial capital Nizhny-Novgorod would be called\, was only one of many America-inspired cities developed during the first Five-Year Plan\, which also included “Sibirsky Chicago” (Novosibirsk) and “Soviet Gary” (Magnitogorsk). \n\nBy the end of 1932\, most of the American experts had returned\, both to Detroit and to sites spread across the country. Over the four years of their stay\, American journalists had celebrated their work on a regular basis. As the US economy recovered from the Great Depression and moved inexorably toward war\, a small number of architects and engineers who participated in Soviet industrialization performed comparable tasks back in the United States. Linear urbanism grew up around American metropolises\, particularly in the Midwest\, in new communities such as Livonia\, Michigan\, strung alongside massive new factory complexes. The impact of Soviet urbanism on these communities remains to be assessed.\n\nMoscow x Detroit: Transnational Modernity in the Built Environment will bring together distinguished historians of art\, architecture\, urbanism\, and social history\, to consider a critical moment in twentieth-century history\, one that ramifies outward from the late 1920s to ripple through the later industrialization of the US and the USSR\, affecting culture and the built environment for decades after. Its focus will be transnational exchange in both directions (initially toward the USSR\, but also back to the USA)\, infrastructure development\, and the impact of built environments (factories\, housing\, green zones) on cities built to serve industry\, but surviving long after its evacuation. Participants\, including specialists in both the American and the Soviet situation\, will consider specific spatial questions\, as well as broader analyses of the hidden effects of the “second Industrial Revolution” on culture\, social organization\, and the built environment on two continents.\n\nOnly recently has the complex of industrial developments that unfolded between Moscow and Detroit begun to receive notice in architectural and urbanistic scholarship. Groundbreaking research has focused new attention on the larger ramifications of this massive transfer of knowledge in both directions. Looking further into these developments\, Moscow x Detroit is scheduled to coincide with the opening of an exhibition at The Canadian Centre for Architecture\, Amerikanizm: Russian Architecture in Search of a New New World\, that opens in Fall 2019 (curator: Jean-Louis Cohen). \n\nOrganizers:\nDepartment of the History of Art\, University of Michigan in coordination with The Canadian Centre for Architecture\, Montreal\n\nClaire Zimmerman\, University of Michigan\nChristina Crawford\, Emory University\nJean-Louis Cohen\, Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University UID:63808-15890345@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63808 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Detroit,Russia LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059372@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191012T131500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Check at the Welcome Desk for schedule. \n\nJoin a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

As potential suitors come and go\, so do their hopes for true love. Full of gossip\, humor\, and heart-felt moments\, this classic story examines the effects of societal pressures on love and life. The play Sense and Sensibility premiered in 2014 at New York City’s Bedlam Theater Company\, returning for another\, longer run in 2016\, and was named The New York Times Critic’s Pick for both years.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770231@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T102315 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820758@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T120234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T112000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Science Forum Demo: Counting Cells DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world around you in a whole new way.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511287@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884086@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988393@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191013T131500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Check at the Welcome Desk for schedule. \n\nJoin a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

But because he was born in a Leap Year\, Frederic isn’t technically 21– and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives\, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King’s new nemesis: Mabel’s father.\n\nThis updated version of the original D’Oyly Carte production marries the wit of British Music Hall and the American show-biz know-how of a combustive Broadway musical\; including dance\, visual gags\, and many well-loved songs such as “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General\,” “Poor Wand’ring One\,” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One.” The Pirates of Penzance is the quintessence of silly\, a delightful excuse to indulge in the literate humor of Gilbert’s libretto\, the enchanting melodies of Arthur Sullivan’s score\, and the powerhouse talents of our Musical Theatre students.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods.

Ansari\, Ph.D. DESCRIPTION:The Ansari group has pioneered the development of synthetic transcription factors (SynTFs) to control desired gene regulatory networks and guide cell fate choices. In a sense\, SynTFs could be viewed as chemical counterparts of the much larger CRISPR-Cas based gene regulators.\n\nIntegrating structure-guided design and chemical genomics\, the Ansari group created an exciting class of molecules that can rewire epigenetic states at targeted genomic loci. SynTFs designed to reverse repressive epigenetic marks have restored expression of genes whose deficiency causes incurable neuronal diseases such as Friedreich’s ataxia\, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that has no effective therapy. More broadly\, SynTFs can be precision-tailored to understand and remedy a wide array of human diseases.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nAseem Z. Ansari is the R. J. Ulrich Chair of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the founder of the Khorana and Bose Programs.\n\nAseem began his scientific career as a summer intern in the laboratory of Obaid Siddiqi at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Bombay. That experience led him to graduate studies in Chemical Biology at Northwestern University. Aseem completed his training postdoctoral training as a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was also a resident tutor at the Winthrop House and member of the Board of Tutors in Biochemical Sciences at Harvard. The Ansari Lab works on devising synthetic gene switches that control the fate of human embryonic stem cells and correct gene regulatory networks in neurodegenerative diseases.

Despite the limited sequence similarity and vastly divergent reactions catalyzed\, the radical SAM enzymes appear to employ a common mechanism for initiation of radical chemistry\, in which a reduced [4Fe-4S]+ cluster provides the electron needed for the reductive cleavage of SAM. The amino and carboxylate groups of SAM bind to the unique iron of the catalytic [4Fe-4S] cluster\, placing the sulfonium of SAM in close proximity to the cluster. Surprising recent results have shown that the initial enzymatic cleavage of SAM generates an organometallic intermediate prior to liberation of 5’-dAdo•\, which initiates radical chemistry on substrate. This organometallic intermediate\, denoted \, has a 5’-deoxyadenosyl moiety directly bound to the unique iron of the [4Fe-4S] cluster via the 5’-C\, giving a structure that is directly analogous to Co-(5’-C) bond of the organometallic cofactor adenosylcobalamin. Our observation that this intermediate  is formed throughout the superfamily suggests that this is a key intermediate in initiating radical SAM reactions\, and further indicates that organometallic chemistry is much more broadly relevant in biology than previously thought. We have also discovered novel photochemistry in radical SAM enzymes\, wherein photoinduced electron transfer generates SAM-derived radicals\, providing new insights into fundamental radical initiation chemistry. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoan Broderick (Montana State University) UID:63729-15835122@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63729 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1400 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T105545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191014T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191014T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar\, Ailong Ke\, Cornell University DESCRIPTION:Ailong Ke PhD\, Professor\, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics\, Cornell University\n\nAbstract: CRISPR-Cas serves as an RNA-based adaptive immunity system in prokaryotes. The diverse CRISPR systems can be categorized into two major classes and multiple types therein. Type I CRISPR-Cas (or CRISPR-Cas3) belongs to Class 1 and is the most prevalent CRISPR system found in nature. It features a sequential target-searching and degradation process. First\, the target-searching complex Cascade (CRISPR associated complex for antiviral defense) uses its guide RNA to find the complementary dsDNA target\, and opens a special structure called R-loop at the target site. Its helicase-nuclease fusion enzyme Cas3 is then specifically recruited to the Cascade/R-loop site to processively degrade long-stretches of double-stranded DNA nearby. I will give a comprehensive explanation of CRISPR-Cas3 based interference mechanism\, based on the high-resolution biochemistry and structural biology work from my lab. I will further explain CRISPR-Cas3 based genome editing applications\, and give perspectives on its therapeutic potential.

Approximately 100 Americans are shot to death each day and over twice as many are physically wounded. \n\nPPGV has been educating health professions to talk to patients about access to guns\, safe storage\, and helping them make decisions that facilitate optimal health and safety. Recognizing that the majority of gun deaths are due to suicide\, PPGV emphasizes the need to keep guns out of the hands of people with emotional\, substance related\, or mental health crises. PPGV also advocates for the passage of sensible gun reform legislation. \n\nIn this presentation for those 50 and over we will examine gun violence\, focusing on how particular populations such as women\, children\, communities of color\, and individuals struggling with mental health challenges are uniquely affected. We will examine the epidemiology of gun violence and outline some of the ways in which politics have become entangled with the pursuit of life saving interventions. We will describe how non-medical community members can have a major impact in raising awareness by inquiring about safe storage of firearms. We will also discuss selected state and federal gun violence related legislation and encourage attendees to contact elected leaders to advocate for bills to prevent gun violence. Finally\, we will open the conversation to course attendees as we examine the historical challenges faced in addressing gun violence and discuss opportunities to effect meaningful change.\n\nThis presentation by Sonya Lewis\, MD\, MPH will last two hours.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059375@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770233@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T091151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melody of Nostalgia: Sand Tapete & Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos alongside works in acrylic on canvas DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Fulgencio Lazo will work with U-M students and community members to design and create two tapetes\, or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831198@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190510T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511288@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884087@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820759@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988394@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191015T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.
