2017 | 106 Minutes | Go-woon Jeon

Free | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles

Perhaps the most impressive Korean debut at Busan this year, the thoughtful and entertaining Microhabitat is a convincing showcase for star Esom and and an even more impressive calling card for director Jeon Go-woon, who becomes the first woman in the Gwanghwamun Cinema group to helm a feature, and her debut may well be the collective's best yet.

Miso is a 31-year-old housekeeper who lives strategically on a small budget but leaves enough aside for her daily vices, which includes a pack of cigarettes and a glass of whiskey. When New Year's Day in 2014 brings about a 2,000 won ($2) across-the-board price hike on cigarettes, rather than cut back on the habit, she gives up having a roof over her head and begins to surf through the couches of her old college friends, each of whom has their particular circumstances that don't allow her to stick around for long." - Pierce Conran, ScreenAnarchy

Shari Kane & Dave Steele and Red Tail Ring (January 20, 2019 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56707 56707-13967646@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, January 20, 2019 7:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

Laurel Premo and Michael Beauchamp of Red Tail Ring create lush, intricate arrangements of original folk music and traditional ballads with banjo, fiddle, guitar, and close harmonies. American Roots UK hails them as "the very best of the 21st century’s minimalist and highly original folk music ... a peerless duo." Their latest, "Fall Away Blues," features new songwriting fused with old-time and country blues themes, tackling topical subjects such as gun violence and environmentalism as well as age-old questions of place and love. Red Tail Ring "doesn’t just pay homage to vintage folk and roots music: The Kalamazoo duo breathes new life into it, channeling the power and charm of seminal material into its own original songs," says west Michigan critic John Sinkevics.

Shari Kane and Dave Steele first met in the summer of 1991, crossing paths as performing blues musicians: Shari was the partner of harmonica legend, Madcat Ruth (Madcat & Kane), while Dave was leading the electric blues band Big Dave and the Ultrasonics. Friends, neighbors, fellow musicians and fans have asked over the years, "When are you two going to start playing together?" The truth is, they've been playing together since their first date. In many ways their playing has developed side by side, listening to and learning from great acoustic blues guitarists from the past. As an acoustic blues duo, Shari and Dave throw a four-handed guitar party of original and time-honored blues, gospel, swing and ragtime. Steeped in Dave’s smoky vocals, percussive rhythm, and innovative lead lines, and Shari’s crisp picking style, rootsy leads, and stinging slidework, their music has been described as "street swing and stomp blues"—like a testament to sounds once heard on the streets of Harlem, the juke joints of Mississippi, or from the jug bands of Memphis

This study group will be a weekly discussion of contemporary literature recommended by Millennials specifically for OLLI learners. We will read five novels, each illustrating and grappling with the present social, political, economic, and environmental concerns of millennials—concerns which they want to bring to the attention of other generations.

Our discussions of the novels will include the significant current events included in the books, the ways in which they navigate social difference, and the reasons why millennials may have recommended them in the first place. We will read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, The Circle by Dave Eggers, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, Walden on Wheels by Ken Ilgunas, and Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng.

This study group for those 50 and over will meet for two hours (3:30-5:30 pm) on Mondays from January 27 through February 25. Instructor Emelia Abbe is a Ph.D. candidate in the University of Michigan’s Department of English.

"Black composers’ non-existence in academic institutions tells black composers that we are not wanted, no matter how much success we gain," writes Anthony R. Green in his galvanizing article "What the Optics of New Music Say to Black Composers" (New Music USA). To unravel the exclusivity of the classical music canon, the work of Black composers, and especially Black women, must take center stage. Professor Tiffany Ng, University Carillonist, performs works by composers ranging from Yvette Janine Jackson and Jessie Montgomery to arrangements of Motown and soul

President Donald Trump has tackled international trade policy during his second year in of office, just as he promised he would during his 2016 election campaign. Tariffs on steel and aluminum from various countries, exports from China, and potentially on automobiles and supply chains are having an effect – including the likelihood that consumers at home will see rising prices in the months and years to come. Renegotiated trade agreements made with South Korea, Mexico, and Canada will also change trade outcomes and could in influence corporate decision making in the manufacturing of goods and products. Please join us for an enlightening presentation by Professor Alan Deardorff who will explore these and other changes taking place in trade policy, and their likely implications for Michigan, the United States, and the world!

Alan V. Deardorff is the John W. Sweetland Professor of International Economics and Professor of Public Policy. His research focuses on international trade. Dr. Deardorff and Bob Stern have developed the Michigan Model of World Production and Trade, which is used to estimate the effects of trade agreements. He is also doing theoretical work in international trade and trade policy. He has served as a consultant to the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Labor, State, and Treasury and to international organizations including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the World Bank. Dr. Deardorff received his Ph.D. from Cornell University.

The program’s evolution—and the insights from those participating in it—can teach us much about what usable knowledge looks like on the ground and the ways to make it through collaboration. In this webinar, James Arnott will recap his research based on examining 120 past NERRS funded projects and interviewing 40 of their participants. The practical lessons derived from this work suggest that teams of researchers and users working together in collaboration might consider a series of seemingly simple—but often difficult to answer questions—in the process of their work. Questions like: Who are the users? What is use? How do you report on use? What strategies lead to use? What are the benefits of usable knowledge? The history of NERRS research accomplishments demonstrates how many and varied answers to these questions emerge and the importance of taking into account careful consideration of that diversity in planning future projects and programs.

About the Speaker:
James Arnott is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan and Associate Director of the Aspen Global Change Institute. James has worked closely with the NERR System during the completion of his doctoral thesis on topics related to science funding, the use of science, and climate change adaptation. In 2011, James was awarded the McCloy Fellowship in Environmental Policy and in 2009 James received a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from Principia College.

Special Event: Wednesday, January 23, 5:30pm / Helmut Stern Auditorium, UMMA, 525 S State St, Ann Arbor 48109

Born in Seoul, South Korea, JuYeon Kim works and lives in New York. She has shown in both solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including New York, Washington, DC, Shanghai, and Seoul. Additionally, Kim has been awarded several residencies such as MacDowell Colony, Kohler Arts Center, Triangle, and the Roswell Artist in Residence Fellowship. Kim has also held several positions as a visiting artist and professor. A 2018–2019 Roman Witt Resident, Kim is creating a multimedia installation work in collaboration with the Stamps School community and composer George Tsontakis that seeks to explore themes around Korean “comfort women”— the female prisoners of the Japanese army during World War II.  Kim states: “Although my installation project was conceived and initiated before my awareness of the #MeToo movement developing in the States and around the world, it seems to me to be so poignantly connected to the historical plight of women everywhere. While the travails of the Korean ‘comfort women’ are an extreme example of women’s integrity being compromised, the assault sadly continues on various levels and by different degrees.”

Presented with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Institute for the Humanities.

In previous lives, Kentaro taught at Ashesi University in Ghana and co-founded Microsoft Research India, where he did research on the application of information and communication technology to international development.

Will artificial intelligence (AI) take away jobs or usher in a prosperous utopia? Will self-driving cars reduce our use of fossil fuels or accelerate emissions? What will a college degree be worth when knowledge work can be done by machine? This talk considers these and other questions through the lens of technology’s “Law of Amplification.” Paradoxically, what is needed most in a world of advanced technology is greater attention to human values.

This is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Work. How Will Your Grandchildren Make a Living? The next lecture will be January 31, 2019. The subject is: Preparing Students For The Future of Work.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

An artist, filmmaker, and writer of Ecuadorian and Chinese descent, Marisa Morán Jahn founded Studio REV-, a nonprofit organization whose public art and creative media affects the lives of low-wage workers, immigrants, women, and youth. Key projects include El Bibliobandido (a masked, story-eating bandit who terrorizes little kids to offer him stories they’ve written), Video Slink Uganda (experimental films slipped or “slinked” into Uganda’s bootleg cinemas), and Contratados (a Yelp for migrant workers). As an artist in residence with the National Domestic Workers Alliance since 2012, Jahn co-created various projects that amplify the voices of America’s fastest growing workforce, caregivers: two mobile studios (NannyVan, CareForce One), an app for domestic workers that CNN named “one of five apps to change the world,” and CareForce One Travelogues, a Sundance-supported docu series for PBS/ITVS co-produced with Oscar- and Emmy-winning filmmaker Yael Melamede. Jahn’s work has been reviewed by the New York Times, BBC, Univision, and Artforum, which described Jahn’s work as “exemplifying the possibilities of art as social practice.” Her work has been awarded numerous grants and has been exhibited at the White House, Museum of Modern Art, New Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Walker Art Center, and more.

Presented in partnership with Stamps Gallery as part of the 2019 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium.

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

This talk works through some under-examined troubles besetting de-Romanticized criticism that uses the mechanisms of music to negate the force of subjectivity. It does so by drawing on a pair of categories first developed for the analysis of literature and the visual arts: A. D. Nuttall’s “transparent” and “opaque” modes. Nuttall’s categories present both a challenge and opportunity by bringing back into view an older mode of criticism that can see not just different things from the new, but more things, and with no loss of intellectual rigor or weakening of validity as historical and aesthetic insight.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Please join Stamps Gallery in partnership with Michigan United for a screening of CareForce One Travelogues, a documentary by artist Marisa Morán Jahn about the fastest growing workforce in America: caregivers. The film will be introduced by the filmmaker followed by a panel discussion featuring local care workers and care worker organizers, moderated by Michigan United, Universal Family Care Organizer, Oriana Powell.  The event will conclude with closing remarks from Powell and Michigan United Michigan Caring Majority Campaign Director, Laura DePalma, on current advocacy initiatives that exist around these issues and action steps for moving forward. 

CareForce One Travelogues features artist Marisa, her son (Choco), and their buddy Anjum traveling in their car, the CareForce One, seeking solutions to the nation’s care crisis. The team sets off in New York City, meeting up with domestic employers and domestic workers (nannies, housekeepers, caregivers for the elderly/sick/disabled) along the way, and culminating in Miami. Mixing levity with hard-hitting stories around immigration, the legacies of slavery, racial discrimination, and more, the CareForce One is a road movie that invites its viewers to laugh and cry at the same time. Supported by Sundance, Tribeca Film Institute, National Endowment for the Arts, and more.

Event Speakers (more to be announced):

Marisa Morán Jahn is an artist, filmmaker, and creative technologist of Ecuadorian and Chinese descent based in NYC. She is the founder of Studio REV, a non-profit organization that codesigns public art and creative media co-designed with low-wage workers, immigrants, and women.  Jahn is an Assistant Professor at The New School and a Visiting Artist at MIT’s Art, Culture, and Technology (her alma mater) and Teacher’s College of Columbia University.

Laura De Palma is a community organizer and the campaign director of the Michigan Caring Majority, a movement and coalition to win progressive legislation around universal long-term care, a living wage for direct care workers, compensation and support for family caregivers, paid family medical leave, and universal child care for Michiganders. She received a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor.

Oriana Powell is a community organizer born and raised in Detroit, MI. She is a mother of a two year old and former childcare and in-home care provider. Oriana is working directly with both professional and non-traditional caregivers to gain respect and support for the care workforce through proper training and compensation for caregivers. Oriana is determined to rebuild the village and community that Detroiters are missing.

This event is presented in partnership with Michigan United and held in conjunction with the Stamps Gallery exhibition Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic.

2018 | 123 Minutes | Directed by Hae-young Lee

Free | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles

'Believer' is a wild and boisterous crime drama that’s evenly split between romanticizing the back-and-forth between cops and robbers, and lamenting the pointlessness of that endless pursuit. Directed by Lee Hae-young, a rising talent whose distaste for half-measures was already on full display in his previous work (e.g. 2015’s “The Silenced”), the film espouses a violent commitment to both sides of that coin — the fun of the chase, and the hollow pain that someone feels when it finally catches up to them." - David Ehrlich, Indiewire

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In The Monarchy of Fear, author Martha Nussbaum, Professor of Law and Ethics in the Philosophy Department of the University of Chicago, writes that since the 2016 election the role of emotion in political opinion has been largely overlooked. In the U.S. and across Europe, the economic stress and rapid social changes affecting many lives have created a sense of powerlessness and a pervasive underlying fear of change.
The result is resentment and blame directed at immigrants, Muslims, minority races, and the elite. We will read this book and talk about the ideas.
Please read through p.16 for the first class.
Instructor Gerry Lapidus will lead this study group for those 50 and over for two hours on Mondays from January 28 through March 18. No class meeting on March 4.

He is a multi-talented virtuoso who is equally at home in classical and popular music both as conductor and instrumentalist. Topilow's pops performances blend the music of Broadway and Hollywood, as well as popular music, light classics and jazz, often finding an occasion to include a number on his array of brightly colored clarinets. His unique approach to pops programming includes extensive audience involvement and true showmanship.

Maanya is a second year master’s student at the University of Michigan School of Environment and Sustainability. As part of her master’s thesis, Maanya is looking at understanding various factors that influence farmers’ decisions in deciding sowing dates of rice in India and to what extent climate variability impacts these decisions. Prior to joining SEAS, Maanya studied the impact of climate change on the Himalayan glaciers. Broadly, she is interested in the field of climate change impacts on natural resources and their adaptive capacities. At COP24, she followed climate adaptation communication with respect to developing countries.

Tim is a senior in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts where he studies in the Program in the Environment (PitE) and Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). He is also pursuing minors in Energy Science and Policy and Urban Studies. Tim is particularly interested in understanding political barriers to developed countries’ adoption of market-based climate change mitigation strategies--including emissions trading and carbon pricing policies--at sub-national and national levels. He is currently preparing his undergraduate thesis on the role of environmental NGOs and pressure groups in advancing the mitigation efforts of European Union member states. At COP24, Tim followed talks on carbon markets and examined NGO influence strategies.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
In a joint presentation, Tim and Maanya will discuss anecdotes from COP24, tying their experiences and take-aways to the current US climate policy landscape and opportunities/challenges for future progress. Specifically, they will draw lessons from the negotiations on economic diversification, the just transition, and science-inclusive policy and direct suggestions towards US stakeholders which may be applied in local climate work.

Sickness and memory: How the immune system changes your brain.

ABSTRACT:
Memory is critical for the ability to function in the world. By storing and retrieving information about the relationships between places, events, and outcomes, our memories allow us to adjust our behavior to act in accordance with the current situation. We use our memory to navigate around our environment, efficiently finding our way to work and back home; to avoid dangerous places and things, to find food, and to recognize families, friends and colleagues. This central role of memory in our everyday lives means that disorders of memory are particularly impactful. Deficits in memory are one of the first and most notable symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, because they severely impact the ability for individuals to function independently in the world. Excessively strong memories are also problematic. For example, persistent memories of trauma contribute to post-traumatic stress disorder, leading to individuals avoiding places that trigger retrieval of those memory. But how do memory processes go bad? One thing we know about memory systems is that many different factors in our lives can change how well memory is stored. Stress can make some memories stronger, and some memories weaker. Illness also changes how well we can learn and remember information. This flexibility in how memory systems work also means that they are vulnerable to disruption by stress and sickness. In this talk I will describe how changes in immune signaling during sickness can interfere with memory formation and discuss this in terms of both post-traumatic stress disorder and dementia.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Due to severe winter weather, the University of Michigan has declared an emergency reduction in operations beginning 12:00 am Wednesday, January 30 and extending through 7:00 am Friday, February 1. All classes and events are cancelled for this period. As such, the Thursday, January 31 Penny Stamps Speaker Series Talk with Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez has been postponed. Additional details will be posted as they are available.

Amanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations, paintings, video, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar, and in the process, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors grantee, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.

Andres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line), a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Hernandez is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Initiative, and exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, IL. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is an Associate Professor.

Dr. Rose B. Bellanca is the President and CEO of Washtenaw Community College. In this position, she is responsible for the organization, administration, and strategic direction of the college, which serves more than 100,000 students and community members a year, employs nearly 1,500 full- and part-time employees, and has an operational budget of more than $100 million. Dr. Bellanca has more than 20 years of executive leadership in higher education. She is the fourth president to lead Washtenaw Community College since its inception in 1965.

Technology and generational changes are increasingly changing how people work. These changes are affecting education, too, as students look to take control of their education, following the lead of on-demand services that have allowed people to manage nearly every other aspect of their lives. Dr. Bellanca will discuss how these changes will shape how we will learn, live, and work.

This is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Work. How Will Your Grandchildren Make a Living? The next lecture will be February 7, 2019. The subject is: Build a Workplace People Love – Just Add Joy.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

In March of 2018, The New York Times Book Review featured 15 novels by women that their critics see as “opening new realms to us, whose books suggest and embody unexplored possibilities in form, feeling and knowledge.” They say these books set the agenda for the 21st century. So the question for this class is: what does that agenda look like?
Before the first meeting I will send the NYT article to new participants so they can read the short reviews of each novel. Sharon Quiroz will indicate the six books we will read in Session I. At the first meeting of Session II, we will select the next set, to continue with our research question. We’ll read approximately 150 pages a week, so we can cover most novels in two to three weeks. We’ll have discussion, small group analysis in class, occasional lectures on style, structure, etc.
This study group for those 50 and over will meet for 90 minutes on Thursdays from January 31 through April 18.
Instructor Sharon Quiroz has a PhD. in English, has published poetry and short stories, and is currently working on her second novel while she tries to sell the first one.

POSTPONED: The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents Lecture: Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez, "PRACTICE or Holding Space for ______." (January 31, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59381 59381-14737050@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 31, 2019 5:00pm

Due to severe winter weather, the University of Michigan has declared an emergency reduction in operations beginning 12:00 am Wednesday, January 30 and extending through 7:00 am Friday, February 1. All classes and events are cancelled for this period. As such, the Thursday, January 31 Penny Stamps Speaker Series Talk with Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez has been postponed. Additional details will be posted as they are available.

Amanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations, paintings, video, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar, and in the process, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors grantee, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.

Andres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line), a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Hernandez is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Initiative, and exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, IL. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is an Associate Professor.

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

While Renaissance England treasured wildflowers, it had a less comfortable relationship with the wilderness, which harbored not only wild animals, but also malignant beings from ancient day: elves, fairies, hobgoblins, and the like. An ideal garden should be well-tended and have some symmetry. So too the instrumental music of the period, which was allowed to branch from its roots, and blossom, whilst keeping safely within prescribed boundaries. In the garden and the fantasia, pattern and tonality served as “safe zones” from which to observe the wonders of nature and the imagination.

The viol quartet PARTHENIA brings early music into the present with its repertoire that animates ancient and fresh-commissioned contemporary works with a ravishing sound and a remarkable sense of ensemble. These “local early-music stars,” hailed by The New Yorker and music critics throughout the world, are “one of the brightest lights in New York’s early-music scene.” Parthenia is presented in concerts across America, and produces its own series in New York City, collaborating regularly with the world’s foremost early music specialists.

The quartet has been featured in prestigious festivals and series as wide- ranging as Music Before 1800, the Harriman-Jewell Series, Maverick Concerts, the Regensburg Tage Alter Musik, the Shalin Lui Performing Arts Center, the Pierpont Morgan Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yale Center for British Art, Columbia University’s Miller Theatre, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Parthenia’s performances range from its popular touring program, When Music & Sweet Poetry Agree, a celebration of Elizabethan poetry and music with actor Paul Hecht, to the complete viol fantasies of Henry Purcell, as well as the complete instrumental works of Robert Parsons, and commissions and premieres of new works annually.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Dead Horses and The Brother Brothers (February 2, 2019 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57311 57311-14148807@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 2, 2019 8:00pm

Dead Horses is vocalist/guitarist Sarah Vos and vocalist/bassist Daniel Wolff, sometimes augmented by other musicians as needed. Originally hailing from a small Wisconsin town made world famous by a pair of overalls (Oshkosh, B'Gosh), the now Milwaukee-based folk band have cultivated a sensibility beyond their years due in part to the powerful literary force that is frontwoman and songwriter Vos. Raised on Bible hymns by her preacher father, she has a backstory that sounds more like that of an old bluesman from the Mississippi Delta than that of a young folk singer from Wisconsin. Despite their youth, Dead Horses have crafted a timeless sound, informed as much by modern Americana as it is by traditional roots music. They've worked with producer Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) who later invited the band to his studio to record the album, "Cartoon Moon." No Depression called their current album, "My Mother the Moon," one of the best of 2018 so far.

The Brother Brothers, twins, are Brooklyn's Adam and Davis Moss. They offer rich harmonies and thoughtful songs accompanied by guitar, cello, violin, and banjo in a coherent way that only musicians from the same family can achieve. Already established players and composers in a wide spectrum of genres around New York and beyond, they finally teamed up to bring their individual experiences together. Among their fans is Sarah Jarosz, who raves: "They approach their poignant and often charming songs with an almost startling sense of ease, and the tight harmonies are enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine. Their ability to pull the listener into their quietly energetic musical journey is a joy to behold." The Brother Brothers come to Michigan with their brand new debut album, "Some People I Know.

In these sessions, participants will discover how writers from around the world see the world and how they perceive the past, the present, and the future of their societies. Do we, educated Americans, see our world in ways similar or different from the ways those writers see it? On what do we agree or disagree with these writers?
Let us fly together with these writers and look at the world through their perceptive eyes. Our first journey will be in the world of a novel titled Exit West. Our tour guide will be the book’s author Mohsin Hamid. Please come to the first meeting having read the novel and ready to fly. Subsequent readings/discussions led by instructor Adnan Salh will be determined at the first meeting, according to the group’s interests.

Restorative Justice: An Alternative (February 6, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58957 58957-14626050@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 6, 2019 1:00pm

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This will be a short course for 3 weeks on the roots, application, and benefits of restorative justice as an alternative to punishment in our criminal justice system. The focus of restorative justice is on the harm done, how the victim can be healed, and how the offender can repair the harm to the victim and community. Carolyn Madden has an MA in Philosophy, Graduate Center, N.Y. and JD from Wayne State University. She was the Associate Director and lecturer for the English Language Institute and is a member of Friends of Restorative Justice of Washtenaw County.
Kathie Gourlay has an MBA from the University of Michigan, currently teaches at Washtenaw Community College, and is passionately interested in criminal justice reform. She finds restorative justice to be an improved way to respond to criminal acts, as compared to the standard American retributive approach. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and will meet Wednesdays, 1:00 -3:00 p.m., February 6th through February 20th.

Council of Global Student Organizations Introductory Meeting! (February 6, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60752 60752-14961655@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 6, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The Quito Project

The Council of Global Student Organizations is a new international council at the University of Michigan which is focused on connecting all student organizations that travel internationally in order to network, learn best practices, and access resources.

CGSO was created because we recognized that many SSO's lack formal training and support from the University of Michigan so we wanted to create a space where all participating organizations can learn the skills to ensure that their initiatives abroad are collaborative and as impactful as possible.

Our first council meeting will be on Wednesday, February 6th at 6pm in room B1580 in Blau Hall. Please register to attend using this link: tinyurl.com/joincgso.

At our first meeting you will learn how your org can be apart of a collaborative council on how to responsibly engage with international communities. Enhance your cultural humility and awareness so your project can have a positive impact. Network with others who share your passion for international community engagement and leadership, and learn how these skills can directly translate to your career.

He is Still Israel? Conversion and Jewish Identity in the Middle Ages (February 6, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57447 57447-14193519@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 6, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

In the Middle Ages, Jews often faced pressure to convert to Christianity or Islam. While some did so out of conviction and others out of practical convenience, many in the Christian world converted as a response to pressure or force. A small number also sought conversion to Judaism. How did fellow Jews view converts and apostates in their midst? Did they distinguish between Jews who chose to leave the fold and those who were anusim, or "forced ones”? A traditional rabbinical theme that “Even though he sinned, he is still Israel” (BT Sanhedrin 44a) often guided discussion of how to deal with conversion, and not all were in agreement about the rights of a Jew to return to the fold. By the same token, not all could agree on the status of one who left his own religion to claim a Jewish faith and identity. This talk will present the stories of a variety of converts, including one story of forced “conversion” from Karaism within the Jewish community itself—to explore how changing religion affected the understanding of Jewish identity in the Middle Ages.

Menlo Innovations CEO, Rich Sheridan, had one thought during a difficult mid-career in the technology industry: ...things can be better -- much better! Ultimately, Rich and co-founder James Goebel invented Menlo Innovations in 2001 to “end human suffering in the world as it relates to technology.” Their unique company—which creates custom software--is so interesting that almost 4,000 people a year travel from around the world to see it. Rich is author of Joy, Inc. - How We Built a Workplace People Love. His second book, Chief Joy Officer, is due in December.

Rich will explore what an intentionally joyful work culture must choose as its focus. He will discuss what a joyful workplace looks and feels like, and how it is organized. You will see paradoxical approaches: How workplace noise increases productivity, how two people at one computer outperform hero-based organizations, how rigor and discipline emanate from a shared-belief system, how transparency conquers fear, and how quality can be a natural result of a team built on trust.

This is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Work. How Will Your Grandchildren Make a Living? The next lecture series will start February 14, 2019. The subject is: History of Comedy.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

After receiving her M.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 1983 she worked at Danny Hillis’ MIT AI Lab start-up Thinking Machines Corporation as lead product designer on the Connection Machines CM-1/CM-2 supercomputers. Once the design phase was finished she moved to Germany to study studio art at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, where she received a Diploma in Applied Graphics in 1991, specializing in video installation art. Since then she has worked as an artist in a variety of media. Her visit to UM coincides with Thiel showing Unexpected Growth, one of her many beautiful AR artworks, at the Whitney in New York.

Oscar® Nominated for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film! Written and directed by Pawel Pawlikowski (Ida, My Summer of Love) comes a passionate love story between a man and a woman who meet in the ruins of post-war Poland. With vastly different backgrounds and temperaments, they are fatefully mismatched and yet condemned to each other. Set against the background of the Cold War in 1950s Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia, and Paris, it’s the tale of a couple separated by politics, character flaws, and unfortunate twists of fate – an impossible love story in impossible times.

Paweł Pawlikowski, director (85 min., 2018). Drama/Romance. Rated R.

"I got a word machine in my head. It's a damn noisy contraption. Constantly running. No 'off' switch," says Ellis Paul. After growing up on a potato farm in northern Maine, Ellis started writing songs while he was attending Boston College on a track scholarship and was laid up for several months with an injury. He's often called the quintessential New England songwriter, and he's got more than a dozen of Boston Music Awards to prove it. Ellis's passionate, literate character sketches, delivered in a soaring, lyrical voice, have influenced a generation of folk songwriters toward the shamelessly poetic. The Boston Globe calls Ellis "literate, provocative, urbanely romantic." Whatever you call him, he's one of the major songwriters of our time. Says Absolute Punk, which you might not think would be reviewing Ellis's albums: "Everyone can relate to Ellis Paul and his songs, and for that reason he continues to be a national treasure."

Thiel is a model for the value of a multidisciplinary education. She received her B.S. in 1979 from Stanford University in Product Design Engineering with a focus on human factors design, and worked as a product design engineer at Hewlett-Packard in Silicon Valley. She then went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she studied human-machine design at the Biomechanics Lab and computer graphics at the precursors to the Media Lab. After receiving her M.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 1983 she worked at Danny Hillis’ MIT AI Lab start-up Thinking Machines Corporation as lead product designer on the Connection Machines CM-1/CM-2 supercomputers. Once the design phase was finished she moved to Germany to study studio art at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, where she received a Diploma in Applied Graphics in 1991, specializing in video installation art. Since then she has worked as an artist in a variety of media. Her visit to UM coincides with Thiel showing Unexpected Growth, one of her many beautiful AR artworks, at the Whitney in New York.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Injo’s Joseon dynasty had long been allied with China’s Ming rulers, until the rise of that country’s Manchu Quing dynasty, with its general doggedly leading his soldiers onward to victory over Korea while awaiting the arrival of his emperor." - David Noh, Film Journal

From their start at an open mic at the Ark in the summer of 1974, this award-winning duo consisting of David Tamulevich and Michael Hough has become a perennial favorite, not only here in southeastern Michigan but all over the folk singer-songwriter circuit. Their songwriting and recordings have received consistently high praise, and their live performances even more so. Their songs are touching, humorous, insightful, and intelligent, and their music is always revealing something new‑lately they've become a key presence in the consistently high-quality local songwriting collective the Yellow Room Gang. Mustard's Retreat recently celebrated their 40th anniversary as a duo, and they're still creating "music to cure what ails you" anew!

Hailed by the Washington Post as “one of Nashville’s finest song interpreters,” Kathy Mattea has enjoyed the kind of success many artists only dream of: two Grammy wins, four CMA Awards, four #1 country singles, and five gold albums (plus a platinum collection of her greatest hits). The dream almost ended, though, when Mattea entered her 50s and began to find her voice changing. What followed was a three-year journey through life challenges, soul-searching, and professional uncertainty, a trying time of personal anguish that threatened to silence her permanently, but instead brought her unexpected joy. Mattea dug in with a vocal coach, re-committed to her music, and emerged with the most poignant album of her career, "Pretty Bird." Working with her old friend, music roots wizard Tim O’Brien, producing, she created a chronicle of her journey, song by song, back to singing for the sheer joy of it. From a playful take on Oliver Wood’s “Chocolate On My Tongue” to a tender rendition of Mary Gauthier’s “Mercy Now,” from a British traditional song to a Bobbie Gentry classic, these are the songs that helped Kathy Mattea reclaim her voice, and she inhabits each as fully as if it were her own.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

A six-week journey into the science and benefits of Positive Psychology. Victor Frankl said, “The events of our lives are not as important as the meaning we give them.” Did you know about the serious science demonstrating the benefits of positive feelings for your well-being, your health, and even your longevity? Positivity is not a “feel good” or smiley-face subject. Forget everything you know, and embrace the tremendous power of positivity - cultivated ways of expressing things like love and gratitude that are proven to broaden us and build us up. Cameron Powell said, “It’s the secret knowledge you keep buying books to discover.”

We’ll discuss several books and articles that give us insight into the science of positivity. Our main text will be Positivity by Barbara Fredrickson, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a leading scholar within social psychology, affective science, and positive psychology.

Instructor Mike Murray is a clinical psychologist and has taught many OLLI classes. These sessions for those 50 and above will meet on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. from February 13 through March 20.

In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.

The installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired, in part, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s "Flying Circus" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.

About David Opdyke:
David Opdyke is a draughtsman, sculptor, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady, NY in 1969, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive, decaying factories, an empty interstate loop, and unemployment were downtown; new streets, expensive homes, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.

For 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations, his artwork explores globalization, consumerism, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Mandolin Orange’s music radiates a mysterious warmth —their songs feel like whispered secrets, one hand cupped to your ear. Ashleigh Phillips of Independent Weekly wrote that they craft "simple songs that go beyond chord progressions and vocal harmonies, leading somehow toward something pure. Using acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and a hand-me-down fiddle, Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz allure with a heartworn sensibility." This North Carolina duo has shared stages with Rosanne Cash, Chatham County Line, the Steep Canyon Rangers and Abigail Washburn. Their original songs are drenched in a mastery of classic country, blues, and rock, but they are both personal and contemporary. It takes genius to be simple, and this young duo has that kind of genius. They come to Michigan with a new release, "Tides of a Teardrop," which they call their most personal effort. Always simple and quiet, the songs of Mandolin Orange are music to treasure.

L.A. psychedellic band Mapache opens.

Sephardi Perspectives on the Medieval Muslim World: Benjamin of Tudela and His "Book of Travels" (February 13, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57448 57448-14193520@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 13, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

This talk will offer a fresh look at the best-known Jewish traveler of the Middle Ages: Benjamin ben Jonah from the city of Tudela, in modern Spain’s northeast. Focusing on selected passages from Benjamin’s twelfth-century Book of Travels, Jacobs will address the following questions: what does it mean to be a Sephardi Jew during the time of the Crusades? How does a Jewish traveler from medieval Iberia describe the Middle East? What images does he paint of Iraq, Iran, and crusader-ruled Jerusalem? Does Benjamin share certain “Western” perceptions of Islam with his Christian contemporaries? How does he portray Jewish-Muslim and Jewish-Christian relations, respectively? To what extent is his Book of Travels a reliable account of his personal observations on the road, where does he take poetic license, and why? Through the lens of Benjamin’s fascinating travel account, the audience will learn about a pre-modern Jewish world spanning from Iberia to the Middle East and beyond.
