Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Collection Ensemble (December 30, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61790 61790-17071521@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 30, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

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.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway (January 19, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80761 80761-20785423@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 19, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is on view at Stamps Gallery January 18, 2021 – February 28, 2021. The gallery is currently open Tuesdays and Fridays from 2pm to 7pm to U-M faculty, staff, and students with valid MCards only. Learn more about COVID health and safety restrictions prior to your visit:  https://stamps.umich.edu/exhibitions/stamps_gallery
The work in the exhibition can also be viewed online: http://stamps.umich.edu/calendar/event-detail/story_word_sound_sway

Artists: Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ’14), Schroeder Cherry (BFA ’76), Elshafei Dafalla (MFA ’08), Masimba Hwati (MFA ’19), Caleb Moss (BFA ’13), Senghor Reid (BFA ’99), Valencia Robin (MFA ’08), Yvette Rock (MFA ’99), Wes Taylor (BFA ’04), Levester Williams (BFA ’13), and Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture, repetitive mark-making, performance with an audience or without, spoken word, ambient sound, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses, nationally and internationally, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway: In Performance & Conversation with Carisa Bledsoe & Schroeder Cherry (January 28, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80398 80398-20715668@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 28, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Join Stamps Gallery for back-to-back virtual performances by artists and Stamps School of Art & Design alumni Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ‘14) and Schroeder Cherry (BFA ‘76). The performances are part of the exhibition Story, Word, Sound, Sway, featuring artists using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo.

Bledsoe (she/her/they) will present a new iteration of their performance “What the Tide Brought In,’’ first performed at the Yellow Barn in Ann Arbor in 2014 shortly before Bledsoe graduated from U-M. Since its inception, “What the Tide Brought In” has been performed at venues across the US and France, morphing each time to address the site specificity of the venue and moment in time.

Cherry (he/him/his) will be in performance with his handmade puppets that have made appearances at the Studio Museum of Harlem, Baltimore Museum of Art, and Smithsonian Institution’s Anacostia Museum amongst other notable venues. Cherry’s performances have been enchanting and educating audiences of all ages since the 1970s when Cherry first started performing while an apprentice to a puppet master in Chicago during college. Performances will be followed by a conversation with the artists in dialogue with exhibition curators Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe, a current Stamps student. The conversation will be accompanied by a live Q&A.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is on view at Stamps Gallery from January 18 - February 28, 2021. For more information, visit: Story, Word, Sound, Sway, or contact Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan at jenjkhan@umich.edu.

Tour and Themes of “No, not even for a picture” online exhibit (February 11, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81663 81663-20941448@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In this online presentation, Lindsey Willow Smith and Veronica Cook Williamson will provide an introductory glimpse into the Clements’ new online exhibit: 'No, not even for Picture': Re-Examining the Native Midwest and Tribes’ Relations to the History of Photography. This exhibit seeks to re-historicize and re-humanize the contexts, subjects, and circumstances leading to the production of the Richard Pohrt Jr. Collection of Native American Photography. Using examples from the exhibit to speak about their motivations and goals as co-curators, the two will touch on themes of photography as a tool of settler colonialism, photographic assertions of sovereignty and agency, and raise questions about (in)visibility and voice. They will also discuss how the transition to remote work affected the exhibit design and their approaches.

How We Do, a discussion & workshop with artist Chitra Ganesh (February 12, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80789 80789-20793300@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 12, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

ere.

Chitra Ganesh, a Brooklyn-based contemporary artist of South Asian origin, creates installations, comics, animation, sculpture, and mixed media works on paper. Her process often engages historical and mythic texts as inspiration and points of departure to create new representations of culture, femininity, sexuality, and power, and to bring queer femme perspectives typically absent from canons of literature and art. 

How does Ganesh employ research to approach these large ideas, identities, and histories in her research and creative process? Join this discussion + workshop to learn directly from Ganesh about her artistic practice, and to apply a little of her approach to your own creative projects (whether they be artistic, conceptual, entrepreneurial, or otherwise). Browse her website and Instagram.

During the workshop

Participants are invited to think of something that inspires them and/or they have questions about:

- a film - a book, poem, comic or graphic novel, or other form of writing - a common historical narrative - a person (past or present) - something from Tik Tok - a meme - a video

Through discussion, writing, doodling, drawing, and other exercises, this workshop will offer the space to explore and expand the ways in which creative projects can offer critiques of society, ideas about history and identity, and new imaginings of what is possible.

Sultana’s Dream and recent work

Recently acquired by UMMA and featured in the upcoming exhibition Oh honey...A queer reading of the collection, Ganesh’s series of prints Sultana’s Dream takes its inspiration from a 1905 text by the same name written by Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, a trailblazer for women's rights in South Asia. In Ganesh's words, Sultana’s Dream is a moving blueprint for an urban utopia that centers concepts such as collective knowledge production, fair governance, radical farming, scientific inquiry, safe space for refugees, and a work-life balance that includes down time and dreaming, all with women--as thinkers, leaders, rebels, and visionaries--at the helm. A video installation titled How We Do accompanied two exhibitions of Sultana’s Dream in New York and Bangladesh. In the installation, Ganesh mixed how-to videos and media reports found online with clips she solicited from friends and members of her broader queer and trans communities, seeking to build a body of collective knowledge and skill-sharing techniques, which she proposes are an essential aspect of an equitable future.

In her most recent work, A city will tell you her secrets if you ask, this year’s QUEERPOWER public art installation at the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art in NYC, Ganesh celebrates queer, trans, and BIPOC histories of downtown Manhattan while commemorating the deaths of trans people murdered in 2020 and LGBTQ activists lost to COVID.

The work in the exhibition can also be viewed online: http://stamps.umich.edu/calendar/event-detail/story_word_sound_sway

Artists: Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ’14), Schroeder Cherry (BFA ’76), Elshafei Dafalla (MFA ’08), Masimba Hwati (MFA ’19), Caleb Moss (BFA ’13), Senghor Reid (BFA ’99), Valencia Robin (MFA ’08), Yvette Rock (MFA ’99), Wes Taylor (BFA ’04), Levester Williams (BFA ’13), and Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture, repetitive mark-making, performance with an audience or without, spoken word, ambient sound, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses, nationally and internationally, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

We live in a world that is influenced by visual imagery. A single photograph can incorporate our joy, and accomplishments, as well as our challenges and defeats. As the most photographed person of his time, Frederick Douglass understood how to utilize photography as a tool for empowered self-representation. His lectures inspired others to participate in creating their own images that captured beauty and resilience within the Black Experience. This Bookworm talk explores photographic examples of Black empowerment from the "Framing Identity" online exhibit (clements.umich.edu/framing-identity) through a conversation with the Clements Library’s Joyce Bonk Fellow, Samantha Hill, and Graphics Curator Clayton Lewis. They will take a closer look at photography and literature in the Clements’ collections to explore how artists and intellectuals present themselves through the creative process.

*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

This episode was generously sponsored by an anonymous Clements Supporter.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.

This program takes place on Zoom. Please register to receive the link.

Jacob Gorski from the Ann Arbor District Library and Sean Kramer from UMMA chat about their discoveries while digging into Ann Arbor’s queer history for their respective projects, the AADL podcast, The Gayest Generation, and the UMMA exhibition, Oh, honey… A queer reading of the collection. Jacob, a transplant from Saginaw, Michigan, and Sean, a native of middle-of-nowhere Kansas, have both lived in Ann Arbor for several years now and both had expectations about what they heard was a hip, artsy college town where coffee shops, bookstores, bars, and restaurants abound. They’ll discuss their earliest encounters with Ann Arbor—from walking to the food co-op to Google searching “gay bar near me”—and how their perceptions have changed over the years just as the city has. Audience members are invited to share their own hot takes on Ann Arbor’s past and present.

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

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is on view at Stamps Gallery January 18, 2021 – February 28, 2021. The gallery is currently open Tuesdays and Fridays from 2pm to 7pm to U-M faculty, staff, and students with valid MCards only. Learn more about COVID health and safety restrictions prior to your visit:  https://stamps.umich.edu/exhibitions/stamps_gallery
The work in the exhibition can also be viewed online: http://stamps.umich.edu/calendar/event-detail/story_word_sound_sway

Artists: Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ’14), Schroeder Cherry (BFA ’76), Elshafei Dafalla (MFA ’08), Masimba Hwati (MFA ’19), Caleb Moss (BFA ’13), Senghor Reid (BFA ’99), Valencia Robin (MFA ’08), Yvette Rock (MFA ’99), Wes Taylor (BFA ’04), Levester Williams (BFA ’13), and Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture, repetitive mark-making, performance with an audience or without, spoken word, ambient sound, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses, nationally and internationally, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Penny Stamps Series Facebook page.

Chitra Ganesh (b. 1975, Brooklyn, NY) is an artist living and working in Brooklyn. For the past 20 years, Ganesh's drawing-based practice has shed light on narrative representations of femininity, sexuality, and power typically absent from canons of literature and art. Ganesh’s installations, comics, animation, sculpture, and mixed media works on paper often take historical and mythic texts as inspiration and points of departure to complicate received ideas of iconic female forms. Her studies in literature, semiotics, and social theory have been critical to a steady engagement with narrative and deconstruction that animates her work. Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States, Europe, and Asia, with solo exhibitions at MoMA P.S.1, The Warhol Museum, Göteborgs Konsthall, Brooklyn Museum, Rubin Museum, Kitchen, and most recently, A city will share her secrets if you know how to ask, the 4th Annual QUEERPOWER Facade Commission at the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York City. (currently on view through October 2021). 

Her work Sultana’s Dream was recently acquired by the University of Michigan Museum of Art and will be featured in the upcoming exhibition Oh, honey… A queer reading of the collection in fall 2021. Learn more about Sultana’s Dream in UMMA’s online presentation of the exhibition. 

Her work has also been exhibited in group exhibitions across the United States, including at The Walker Art Center, MN; The Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Washington, DC, the Baltimore Museum of Art, MD; The Queens Museum of Art, NY; The Asia Society, NY; The Bronx  Museum, NY, The Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, TX; the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, CA; the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, CA; and the Boca Raton Museum of Art, LA, among others. Ganesh’s work has also been widely exhibited across Europe and Asia, including at the Hayward Gallery, London, Saatchi Museum, London; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Italy; Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno, Spain; the ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe; Göteborgs Konsthall, Sweden; Kunstalle Exnergrasse, Vienna, Arthotek Kunstverein, Göttingen; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai; the Gwangju Contemporary Arts Centre, Korea; Parasite, Hong Kong, the Bhau Daji Lad and Prince of Wales Museum, Mumbai; Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts and the Devi Art Foundation, New Delhi; The Kochi-Muzuris Biennale, India, & the Dhaka Art Summit, Bangladesh among others.

Ganesh's works are held in prominent public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, The Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, Berkeley Museum of Art, San Jose Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum, among others. She has received numerous awards, including  the New York Foundation for the Arts; Art Matters Foundation; John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation; the Joan Mitchell Foundation; and the Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University, Pollock Krasner Foundation, and most recently the Anonymous was a Woman Award in 2020. She received her B.A. from Brown University and her M.F.A. from Columbia University.

Lead support for Oh, honey...A queer reading of the collection is provided by Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

These performances by Ava Ansari are part of the Institute for the Humanities exhibition "For Your Eyes Only." Intended to activate the space, the performances bring to life the installation by further exploring the positioning of the body and the viewer.

Both the exhibition and the performances are designed to be viewed from the Thayer St. windows of the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.

Performance Times: March 13: 4:30-5pm, 6-6:30pm, 7:30-8pm.

From the artist:
"If you come by, make it soft and slow, don’t break my glassy agility."*

The G—ray Area is the isolation and expansion of skin-depth in close proximity celebrations. Working with The G—ray Area, prepares us for removing and releasing public pains accumulated through insensitive norms of togetherness. The heterotopic transmedia space is an open journal of personal and familial celebrations of the sensual body by Ava Ansari. It chooses Yasmine Diaz’s For Your Eyes Only as a safe space for revisiting Ava’s somatic, sonic, and scenic celebratory memories from the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) airstrikes, bedroom shadow dances, underground rules of thumb, a party arrest in Tehran, her planet IranUS, and a recent visit to Saturn. Borderline Knowledge will be the guardians.

1. Ava Ansari’s interpretation of an exerpt from a Persian poem by Sohrab Sepehri (1928-80, Iran). The poem is carved on Sepehri’s gravestone: به سراغ من اگر می آیید, نرم و آهسته بیایید, مبادا که ترک بردارد, چینی نازک تنهائی من

Ava Ansari is a transmedia poet, transcultural curator, and yogi (She/They). Ava is the Founding Director of Poetic Societies Global Network for the Somatic, Sonic, and Scenic Liberation in Detroit.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

These performances by Ava Ansari are part of the Institute for the Humanities exhibition "For Your Eyes Only." Intended to activate the space, the performances bring to life the installation by further exploring the positioning of the body and the viewer.

Both the exhibition and the performances are designed to be viewed from the Thayer St. windows of the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.

Performance Times: March 13: 4:30-5pm, 6-6:30pm, 7:30-8pm.

From the artist:
"If you come by, make it soft and slow, don’t break my glassy agility."*

The G—ray Area is the isolation and expansion of skin-depth in close proximity celebrations. Working with The G—ray Area, prepares us for removing and releasing public pains accumulated through insensitive norms of togetherness. The heterotopic transmedia space is an open journal of personal and familial celebrations of the sensual body by Ava Ansari. It chooses Yasmine Diaz’s For Your Eyes Only as a safe space for revisiting Ava’s somatic, sonic, and scenic celebratory memories from the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) airstrikes, bedroom shadow dances, underground rules of thumb, a party arrest in Tehran, her planet IranUS, and a recent visit to Saturn. Borderline Knowledge will be the guardians.

1. Ava Ansari’s interpretation of an exerpt from a Persian poem by Sohrab Sepehri (1928-80, Iran). The poem is carved on Sepehri’s gravestone: به سراغ من اگر می آیید, نرم و آهسته بیایید, مبادا که ترک بردارد, چینی نازک تنهائی من

Ava Ansari is a transmedia poet, transcultural curator, and yogi (She/They). Ava is the Founding Director of Poetic Societies Global Network for the Somatic, Sonic, and Scenic Liberation in Detroit.

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

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.

The Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners is one of the largest exhibitions of art by incarcerated artists in the country. Each year, faculty, staff and students from the University of Michigan travel to correctional facilities across Michigan and select work for the exhibition while providing feedback and critique that strengthens artist’s work and builds community around art making inside prisons.

The pandemic halted the 25th Annual Exhibition days before it was scheduled to open in March 2020. PCAP is excited to bring you the 2020 show in a new digital gallery. Visit https://myumi.ch/kxZ1D for a link to the exhibit and a full calendar of online events.

Artwork sales appointments will be available March 17–March 31, 2021. Visitors can book sales appointments on the exhibit website. Sales will be made by phone, and all artwork will be shipped to customers. Artists set their own prices and receive 100% of net sales revenue.

This exhibit and events are presented with support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Om of Medicine, and hundreds of individual donors. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.

The Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners is one of the largest exhibitions of art by incarcerated artists in the country.

The Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners is one of the largest exhibitions of art by incarcerated artists in the country. Each year, faculty, staff and students from the University of Michigan travel to correctional facilities across Michigan and select work for the exhibition while providing feedback and critique that strengthens artist’s work and builds community around art making inside prisons.

Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.

ere.

Join us for a faculty panel featuring Curriculum/Collection instructors Matias del Campo (Architecture 509 Space, Time, and Artificial Intelligence), Ivo Dinov (Health Sciences 650 Data Science and Predictive Analytics), and Maegan Fairchild (Philosophy 298 Metaphysics: Art and Ontology) as we discuss issues of art, authorship, and creation, as machine learning, or “artificial intelligence,” processes are increasingly applied to the art world. If an algorithm produces a composite portrait based on the work of thousands of artists, who is the “artist”? And how is this challenging our traditional understandings of creation? We’ll talk about these questions and more, with time for Q&A. The panel will be moderated by Kathleen Creel (Stanford, philosopher of machine learning). 

 

This event is in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Curriculum/Collection, now available to experience online. 

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and P.J. and Julie Solit.

The Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners is one of the largest exhibitions of art by incarcerated artists in the country. Each year, faculty, staff and students from the University of Michigan travel to correctional facilities across Michigan and select work for the exhibition while providing feedback and critique that strengthens artist’s work and builds community around art making inside prisons.

The pandemic halted the 25th Annual Exhibition days before it was scheduled to open in March 2020. PCAP is excited to bring you the 2020 show in a new digital gallery. Visit https://myumi.ch/kxZ1D for a link to the exhibit and a full calendar of online events.

Artwork sales appointments will be available March 17–March 31, 2021. Visitors can book sales appointments on the exhibit website. Sales will be made by phone, and all artwork will be shipped to customers. Artists set their own prices and receive 100% of net sales revenue.

This exhibit and events are presented with support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Om of Medicine, and hundreds of individual donors. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.
