Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Organized By: Gifts of Art

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Originally from Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism, West’s images communicate a sense of being, connecting not only the objects in the photographs, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Organized By: University Library

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions, is a composition workshop-style course is a generative laboratory to make rigorous, experimental works that open reflection on socio-political issues. Our seminar involves: a study of other artists' work and ways they engage with wide-ranging political matter through performance, animation, sculpture and other media; an embodied exploration of compositional elements at different sites in the Residential College and U-M's campus; and creative assignments that employ various methods to interrogate sociopolitical material of your own choosing. We'll be examining the immediate, present, and personal relationship of the body to performance in a very expansive way, studying William Kentridge's stop-gap animation, Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals, and Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial, for example, alongside more traditional understandings of performance in theater, dance and film. Questioning assumptions of performance, genre, audience and politics will form an important part of our work in this interdisciplinary class, as will a detailed examination of compositional elements common to multiple art forms. We will gain practice and experience with different approaches to making performance and different ways to deploy compositional tools, depending on your objectives. No previous experience in performance or socio-political action necessary, and all bodies, abilities, and backgrounds are actively welcome on this journey; experimentation, adaptation and play with formats and tools that may be new to you will be encouraged. The course will culminate in a public showing of original student work.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Originally from Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism, West’s images communicate a sense of being, connecting not only the objects in the photographs, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Originally from New York, Aimee Lee works in Cleveland and is an artist, papermaker, Fulbright Scholar, author and the leading hanji (Korean paper) researcher and practitioner in the US. Fusing contemporary fashion ideas with traditional clothing, Lee connects past and present through everyday dress creations in paper. The hanji techniques she uses include natural dyeing and waxing, texturing for supple or stiff surfaces, slicing and spinning into thread, and tearing strips to cord. Her paper ducks are inspired by Korean wedding ducks – known for fertility and mating for life – and are built without an armature; the hollow bodies are woven like baskets.

The Glimmerglass Festival presents BREAKING GLASS: Hyper-linking Opera and Issues. Within eight national forums and an initial 5-episode podcast series, The Glimmerglass Festival will talk with industry professionals, scholars, students and patrons to further explore how an arts organization tackles social responsibility. Funding for BREAKING GLASS is provided by the Mellon Foundation and the Opera America Innovation Grant.

In this panel, the U-M Gershwin Initiative hosts two creative teams from The Glimmerglass Festival opera company. Glimmerglass seeks to inspire conversations about race in opera. This means talking about issues that are bubbling beneath the surface of making art in the late 2000-teens. Pulling from contemporary writers and thinkers, such as Michael Eric Dyson and Ta-Nehisi Coates among others, we will explore whether white privilege or the traditionally white European institutional model dictate the means by which the African American, or further, the refugee cultural experience are theatrically absorbed. Additionally, we explore the idea that an artist’s life work is predicated on an ‘elite system’ where the arts & sciences had the opportunity to flourish as a result of a system of oppression. These conversations will occur in a safe space, but we want to expose the African American and refugee experiences and how the Euro-centric institution is changing to embrace a new social responsibility. Panelists will include Jeanine Tesori (composer of Blue), Tazewell Thompson (librettist and director of Blue), and Matthew Morrison (NYU), and U-M Professor Naomi André, along with SMTD student performers coached by Professor Kathy Kelly.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Originally from Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism, West’s images communicate a sense of being, connecting not only the objects in the photographs, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

Gifts of Art presents On Blue: Photographic Meditations (April 23, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/50423 50423-11736375@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 23, 2018 8:00am
Location: Taubman Center
Organized By: Gifts of Art

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Originally from Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism, West’s images communicate a sense of being, connecting not only the objects in the photographs, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

The exhibit focuses on seven classic stories: Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, the Little Mermaid, Little Red Riding Hood, and Peter Pan. Drawing on the rich collection of children’s literature in the Special Collections Research Center, the books range from late nineteenth century editions to contemporary pop-up books. By showcasing different takes on each story, the exhibit explores the variation in how these tales are told and illustrated.

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

Can Stress be Beneficial? Perspectives from Wild Animals

Stress is constant in our lives. From the breakup of a relationship, the death of a loved one, or the frustrations associated with your morning commute, many of us unfortunately experience daily stressors associated with these types of situations. These adverse experiences can be associated with the release of stress hormones such as cortisol. If the situation that is causing us stress is short term, we usually cope and recover. However, if we experience stress for a long period of time (“chronic stress”), this may have very negative effects on our physical and mental health and overall well-being. From an evolutionary perspective, this is somewhat puzzling. Why would such a system evolve where our physiological responses to challenging situations have negative consequences to our health and well-being? If stress is “bad”, then why do all animals (not just humans) experience it? Could there be situations in which stress is actually good, at least from an evolutionary perspective? This presentation will focus on understanding the benefits of stress in wild animals from an evolutionary perspective. It will present examples of our research examining how stress experienced during pregnancy may have beneficial effects on offspring, at least in squirrels, and how elevations in stress may cause highly social animals like meerkats to be more cooperative.

Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Originally from New York, Aimee Lee works in Cleveland and is an artist, papermaker, Fulbright Scholar, author and the leading hanji (Korean paper) researcher and practitioner in the US. Fusing contemporary fashion ideas with traditional clothing, Lee connects past and present through everyday dress creations in paper. The hanji techniques she uses include natural dyeing and waxing, texturing for supple or stiff surfaces, slicing and spinning into thread, and tearing strips to cord. Her paper ducks are inspired by Korean wedding ducks – known for fertility and mating for life – and are built without an armature; the hollow bodies are woven like baskets.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Originally from New York, Aimee Lee works in Cleveland and is an artist, papermaker, Fulbright Scholar, author and the leading hanji (Korean paper) researcher and practitioner in the US. Fusing contemporary fashion ideas with traditional clothing, Lee connects past and present through everyday dress creations in paper. The hanji techniques she uses include natural dyeing and waxing, texturing for supple or stiff surfaces, slicing and spinning into thread, and tearing strips to cord. Her paper ducks are inspired by Korean wedding ducks – known for fertility and mating for life – and are built without an armature; the hollow bodies are woven like baskets.

Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Originally from New York, Aimee Lee works in Cleveland and is an artist, papermaker, Fulbright Scholar, author and the leading hanji (Korean paper) researcher and practitioner in the US. Fusing contemporary fashion ideas with traditional clothing, Lee connects past and present through everyday dress creations in paper. The hanji techniques she uses include natural dyeing and waxing, texturing for supple or stiff surfaces, slicing and spinning into thread, and tearing strips to cord. Her paper ducks are inspired by Korean wedding ducks – known for fertility and mating for life – and are built without an armature; the hollow bodies are woven like baskets.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Originally from New York, Aimee Lee works in Cleveland and is an artist, papermaker, Fulbright Scholar, author and the leading hanji (Korean paper) researcher and practitioner in the US. Fusing contemporary fashion ideas with traditional clothing, Lee connects past and present through everyday dress creations in paper. The hanji techniques she uses include natural dyeing and waxing, texturing for supple or stiff surfaces, slicing and spinning into thread, and tearing strips to cord. Her paper ducks are inspired by Korean wedding ducks – known for fertility and mating for life – and are built without an armature; the hollow bodies are woven like baskets.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Originally from Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism, West’s images communicate a sense of being, connecting not only the objects in the photographs, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US; the Autumn, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics, including subtlety, austerity and naturalness, to her art practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Originally from Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism, West’s images communicate a sense of being, connecting not only the objects in the photographs, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Drawing on the rich collection of children’s literature in the Special Collections Research Center, the books range from late nineteenth century editions to contemporary pop-up books. By showcasing different takes on each story, the exhibit explores the variation in how these tales are told and illustrated.

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Originally from New York, Aimee Lee works in Cleveland and is an artist, papermaker, Fulbright Scholar, author and the leading hanji (Korean paper) researcher and practitioner in the US. Fusing contemporary fashion ideas with traditional clothing, Lee connects past and present through everyday dress creations in paper. The hanji techniques she uses include natural dyeing and waxing, texturing for supple or stiff surfaces, slicing and spinning into thread, and tearing strips to cord. Her paper ducks are inspired by Korean wedding ducks – known for fertility and mating for life – and are built without an armature; the hollow bodies are woven like baskets.

The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water; languid clouds drifting in azure skies; mood indigo; cobalt glass; cerulean blue eyes; sapphire cornflowers; poignant music, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature, yet found in the largest things such as sea, lake and sky, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

Originally from Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism, West’s images communicate a sense of being, connecting not only the objects in the photographs, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure (May 2, 2018 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/51870 51870-12274442@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, May 2, 2018 10:00am

​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.

Students in Matthew Solomon's class, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian, and when she walked outside, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers, old book pages, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.
