Fluxus artists like Maciunas\, Nam June Paik\, George Brecht\, and Yoko Ono\, among many others\, challenged the notion of high art by creating unassuming\, often humorous objects and performances that redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that \"anything can be art and anyone can do it.\" Because of their disregard for traditional artistic media\, many of the objects in the exhibition are-often by design-acutely resistant to conventional forms of museum display. Variously conceived as carriers of ideas\, absurdist send-ups of consumer products\, and invitations to direct\, playful participation by the viewer\, these works attempt to undermine the idea that art is separate from the activity of living one's life. Through 116 works\, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life will introduce visitors to the study and appreciation of art as an exciting and intellectually rewarding experience\, and to the notion that art is something that can play an active role in their own approaches to life's essential questions.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Constance and Walter Burke\, Dartmouth College Class of 1944\, the Marie-Louise and Samuel R. Rosenthal Fund\, and the Ray Winfield Smith 1918 Fund. UMMA's installation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Arts at Michigan\, and the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Video 50 consists of a randomly arranged set of 30-second \"episodes\,\" a few of which feature notable French personalities of the 1970s-perfumier Hélène Rochas stares down a mugger\, culture minister Michel Guy struggles to open a dresser drawer-and Wilson thought of these as miniature portraits or character studies. The creator and director of aggressively experimental theater\, Wilson first came to prominence with works from the mid-1970s such as The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973) and Einstein on the Beach (1976). These lavish\, unusually long productions broke and then redefined every convention of theater. In Video 50 his shorter time-based portraits explore the intersection of narrative and still-life\, seductively dissolving the distance between viewer and subject.

This paper re-examines this well-known picture\, as well as its artist and patron\, to ask what has been at stake in the idea of it being a real representation. A closer look at this image of black and white field hands on a mid-day break reveals both first-hand observation and elaborate art historical reference\, reportage and meditation on race\, work and leisure\, art and life. How the image moved from entertainment to American icon is part of the story.\n\n*Photo Courtesy The Long Island Museum of American Art\, History & Carriages.

Fluxus artists like Maciunas\, Nam June Paik\, George Brecht\, and Yoko Ono\, among many others\, challenged the notion of high art by creating unassuming\, often humorous objects and performances that redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that \"anything can be art and anyone can do it.\" Because of their disregard for traditional artistic media\, many of the objects in the exhibition are-often by design-acutely resistant to conventional forms of museum display. Variously conceived as carriers of ideas\, absurdist send-ups of consumer products\, and invitations to direct\, playful participation by the viewer\, these works attempt to undermine the idea that art is separate from the activity of living one's life. Through 116 works\, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life will introduce visitors to the study and appreciation of art as an exciting and intellectually rewarding experience\, and to the notion that art is something that can play an active role in their own approaches to life's essential questions.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Constance and Walter Burke\, Dartmouth College Class of 1944\, the Marie-Louise and Samuel R. Rosenthal Fund\, and the Ray Winfield Smith 1918 Fund. UMMA's installation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Arts at Michigan\, and the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Video 50 consists of a randomly arranged set of 30-second \"episodes\,\" a few of which feature notable French personalities of the 1970s-perfumier Hélène Rochas stares down a mugger\, culture minister Michel Guy struggles to open a dresser drawer-and Wilson thought of these as miniature portraits or character studies. The creator and director of aggressively experimental theater\, Wilson first came to prominence with works from the mid-1970s such as The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973) and Einstein on the Beach (1976). These lavish\, unusually long productions broke and then redefined every convention of theater. In Video 50 his shorter time-based portraits explore the intersection of narrative and still-life\, seductively dissolving the distance between viewer and subject.

Fluxus artists like Maciunas\, Nam June Paik\, George Brecht\, and Yoko Ono\, among many others\, challenged the notion of high art by creating unassuming\, often humorous objects and performances that redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that \"anything can be art and anyone can do it.\" Because of their disregard for traditional artistic media\, many of the objects in the exhibition are-often by design-acutely resistant to conventional forms of museum display. Variously conceived as carriers of ideas\, absurdist send-ups of consumer products\, and invitations to direct\, playful participation by the viewer\, these works attempt to undermine the idea that art is separate from the activity of living one's life. Through 116 works\, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life will introduce visitors to the study and appreciation of art as an exciting and intellectually rewarding experience\, and to the notion that art is something that can play an active role in their own approaches to life's essential questions.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Constance and Walter Burke\, Dartmouth College Class of 1944\, the Marie-Louise and Samuel R. Rosenthal Fund\, and the Ray Winfield Smith 1918 Fund. UMMA's installation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Arts at Michigan\, and the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Video 50 consists of a randomly arranged set of 30-second \"episodes\,\" a few of which feature notable French personalities of the 1970s-perfumier Hélène Rochas stares down a mugger\, culture minister Michel Guy struggles to open a dresser drawer-and Wilson thought of these as miniature portraits or character studies. The creator and director of aggressively experimental theater\, Wilson first came to prominence with works from the mid-1970s such as The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973) and Einstein on the Beach (1976). These lavish\, unusually long productions broke and then redefined every convention of theater. In Video 50 his shorter time-based portraits explore the intersection of narrative and still-life\, seductively dissolving the distance between viewer and subject.

He also appears frequently as recitalist\, chamber musician\, and soloist\, including performances on the Philharmonic’s Chamber Music Society and Green Umbrella concerts. Garrett pursues a wide range of musical interests: he has recorded modern cello works for the Albany and Opus One labels\; his doctoral dissertation included publication of previously unknown Baroque cello works\; and along with his wife – Occidental College faculty pianist Junko Ueno Garrett – he performs cello and piano recitals as the Belrose Duo\, including several tours in the U.S. and Japan. Away from the cello Garrett enjoys playing the viola da gamba\, musical arranging\, and publishing. Garrett is a dedicated advocate for music education. He coaches youth orchestras and visits schools for the Philharmonic’s Education Department. At the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSU Long Beach Garrett maintains one of Southern California’s leading cello teaching studios. Furthermore\, his pre-college students consistently excel in competitions and honors orchestras. Garrett’s community service extends beyond the Philharmonic’s projects\; he is a board member of the Los Angeles Bach Festival and the Los Angeles Violoncello Society and an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Pasadena. In his spare time Garrett enjoys games and sports of all kinds\, and is an avid\, if frustrated\, golfer.

Fluxus artists like Maciunas\, Nam June Paik\, George Brecht\, and Yoko Ono\, among many others\, challenged the notion of high art by creating unassuming\, often humorous objects and performances that redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that \"anything can be art and anyone can do it.\" Because of their disregard for traditional artistic media\, many of the objects in the exhibition are-often by design-acutely resistant to conventional forms of museum display. Variously conceived as carriers of ideas\, absurdist send-ups of consumer products\, and invitations to direct\, playful participation by the viewer\, these works attempt to undermine the idea that art is separate from the activity of living one's life. Through 116 works\, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life will introduce visitors to the study and appreciation of art as an exciting and intellectually rewarding experience\, and to the notion that art is something that can play an active role in their own approaches to life's essential questions.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Constance and Walter Burke\, Dartmouth College Class of 1944\, the Marie-Louise and Samuel R.

Anticipating the University Musical Society concert by the Pavel Haas Quartet\, this presentation will first examine the life and works of the award-winning Czech Jewish composer Pavel Haas (1899–1944)\, who continued to compose songs while interred at the Terezín concentration camp. The lecture will then extend to other Jewish composers across Europe\, contemplating their individual\, unique stories\, how their careers before the war and their nationalities played a major role in the formation of their compositional voices\, and how World War II affected their lives and music.\n\nPresenters: Timothy Cheek\, associate professor of voice\, and Caroline Helton\, assistant professor of voice\, U-M\; Kathryn Goodson\, piano\; Allen Schrott\, bass-baritone.\n\nCo-sponsored by Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European\, & Eurasian Studies\, and Frankel Center for Judaic Studies. \n UID:8819-1138439@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/8819 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:jewish music,pavel haas,pavel haas quartet LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120109T182449 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20120418T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20120418T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Improving Self Esteem DESCRIPTION:Few things in your life can have a greater positive impact than learning to feel good about you. In this workshop you will explore some of the earlier-life experiences that may have formed your current \"core beliefs\" about yourself. We will talk about how these beliefs influence your life\, relationships\, and behaviors currently. Lastly\, you will learn strategies for weakening some of the negative self-beliefs that hold you back in your life.

Together they are exploring music that accommodates these seemingly divergent perspectives\, incorporating jazz vocabulary into Greek music and Greek musical vocabulary into jazz music. Their hope is that their music illuminates new connections and new pathways into the future\, while keeping an eye on their collective past.\n\nMichael Malis is a jazz pianist and composer from the Detroit area. He graduated with distinction from the University of Michigan\, where he studied jazz piano and English. While at UM\, he had the pleasure of studying with the eminent jazz pianist Geri Allen. In 2008\, he was a featured soloist at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC\, as part of their ongoing Conservatory Project. \n\nAlekos Syropoulos began studying classical piano at the age of four and later made a transition to the alto saxophone when he was ten. Currently majoring in jazz studies for saxophone at UM\, Alekos studies with Andrew Bishop\, Ellen Rowe\, and Geri Allen. As a performer\, Alekos plays with several groups and ensembles\, including the University of Michigan Jazz Ensemble\, the Vincent Chandler Septet\, the Paul Keller Jazz Orchestra\, and his own group\, Syropoulos Rex. \n\nThis monthly series\, curated by UM Associate Professor Adam Unsworth\, presents outstanding local artists in an intimate setting and is made possible by the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.
