This exhibition explores the expansive and experimental nature of her prolific and interstitial art practice. Syntax sheds light on Youngblood\u2019s embodied practice that encompasses a deep commitment and respect for the process and the material with which she is working - be it found objects, fur, hair, surfaces of different types of paper, pigments, ink, wire, porcelain, threads, and\/or clay, that may have inspired her. The work occupies the spaces between art and design, abstract and concrete, making and becoming. In Syntax, the viewers will encounter over 30 works from the last four decades that range from large-scale drawings to intimate mixed-media works, sculptural objects, and weavings. The exhibition will also include Youngblood's early design work where her explorations with dots, dashes, lines and accumulation of lines and space emerged and became a framework for a way to consider form as ever-evolving and iterative. These recurring forms were the points of departure for her experiments with materiality as they became reconstituted across different mediums and disciplines, transformed over and over again to create Youngblood\u2019s unique visual vocabulary and her Syntax of making and meaning.\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.\nArtist\u2019s Bio\nBorn in Detroit and educated in southeastern Michigan, Elizabeth Youngblood is an artist, educator, designer and maker of interesting things. From her high school education at Cass Technical High School to her undergraduate education at the University of Michigan, through graduate work at Cranbrook, she has always maintained a dual interest in making by hand and in design for production. Youngblood\u2019s art-making practice includes working in the mediums of drawing, ceramics, weaving, bookbinding and more. She\u2019s been a faculty member at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and SUNY Purchase, NY, managed branding with Unisys and designed at The New York Times. After a stint on the east coast, Youngblood has returned to Detroit where she maintains a studio practice and continues to investigate the intersection of her range of interests.\n", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"122382-21848683@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/122382", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Stamps Gallery, 201 South Division Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art"], "website":"https:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/events\/elizabeth-youngblood-syntax", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122382_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":26, "first_occurrence":21848677 } , "84303-21621328": { "datetime_modified":"20240130T121551", "datetime_start":"20240703T110000", "datetime_end":"20240703T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-07-03", "date_end":"2024-07-03", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Organized as a response to the Museum\u2019s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar\u2019s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don\u2019t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.\u00a0\u00a0\n \nIn this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum\u2019s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you\u2019ll be able to experience the changes we\u2019re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.\u00a0\n \nBy challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.\u00a0\n \n\u201cInvisible things are not necessarily \u2018not there\u2019.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.\u201d\u00a0\n \n\u2014 Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism\u00a0is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost,\u00a0the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n\u00a0", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"84303-21621328@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/84303", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"European and American Decorative Art", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","UMMA","Museum","History","Exhibition","European"], "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ummamuseum\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":470, "first_occurrence":21621195 } , "122385-21848894": { "datetime_modified":"20240624T181507", "datetime_start":"20240703T110100", "datetime_end":"20240703T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-07-03", "date_end":"2024-07-03", "time_start":"11:01:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Black Art Library", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Black Art Library", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Opening Reception: June 20, 6-8 p.m.On View: June 21 - August 3, 2024\nThe Black Art Library is a collection of books and other art history ephemera on Black visual art intended to be an educational resource to share within the Black community and beyond.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa\u2019s grandmother who illegally crossed the US\/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist\u2019s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine\/x\/a\/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).
