The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.\r\n\r\nWe invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau\u2019s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.\r\n\r\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.\r\n\r\nAnn Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.\r\n\r\nDon't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.\r\n\r\nImportant Dates:\r\n\r\nExhibition: August 26 \u2013 November 2, 2024\r\nArtist's Talk: October 23, 2024, at 3:30 pm, RC Keene Theater\r\nArtist Reception: October 23, 2024, from 4:30 \u2013 6:00 pm, RC Art Gallery", "occurrence_notes":"Enter through East University Ave. Open to the public.", "guid":"125338-21854800@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/125338", "building_id":"1000054", "building_name":"East Quadrangle", "campus_maps_id":"54", "room":"RC Art Gallery", "location_name":"East Quadrangle", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","artists","artists and curators","arts","arts at michigan","Arts Initiative","Community","Community Engagement"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/rc\/reserve-a-room-\/rc-art-gallery.html", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Residential College", "group_id":"1029", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Prison Creative Arts Project", "group_id":"2376", "website":"http:\/\/www.prisonarts.org" }, { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"Arts Initiative", "group_id":"4583", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"U-M Arts & Culture", "group_id":"4828", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Keene Theater", "group_id":"5106", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/rc\/reserve-a-room-\/the-keene-theater.html" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_125338_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":51, "first_occurrence":21854758 } , "125340-21854828": { "datetime_modified":"20241001T173306", "datetime_start":"20241007T090000", "datetime_end":"20241007T140000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-10-07", "date_end":"2024-10-07", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"14:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"LGBTQ+ VR Museum Open House", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"LGBTQ+ VR Museum Open House", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Other", "event_type_id":"22", "description":"Join us for the LGBTQ+ VR Museum Open House hosted by the Digital Studies Institute and the Just XR Futures Lab on Oct. 7 and Oct. 10, 2024.\r\n\r\nThe LGBTQ+ VR Museum was created by DiVRse Technologies, a world-leading immersive studio that produces ground-breaking digital experiences using VR and XR technologies. \r\n\r\nDisrupting historical gatekeeping and erasure of marginalized voices, DiVRse Technologies uses VR to share stories and artifacts curated directly from the queer community. The LGBTQ+ community globally contributed dozens of personal items scanned into 3D and 2D artworks, that contextualize their lived experiences. Layers of interactive content appear and programmatically respond to visitors' emotions in real-time as they explore the VR museum.\r\n\r\nAll are welcome.
