It has served as a resource for thousands of people the world over\, from high school students to seasoned researchers\, from young activists in search of their roots to documentary filmmakers unearthing eye-catching images. Books\, serials\, manuscripts\, pamphlets\, photographs\, audio recordings\, posters\, and political buttons are all part of this eclectic group of materials.\n\nView the exhibit during Audubon Room hours: Mon-Thurs 8:30am-7pm\, Fri 8:30am-6pm\, Sat 10am-6pm\, Sun 1pm-7pm UID:8665-1138230@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/8665 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:books,labor unions,lgbt,libraries,politics,social justice LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120105T112838 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20120415T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20120415T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life DESCRIPTION:Fluxus emerged in the early 1960s as a loose\, international network of artists\, composers\, and designers-\"led\" by Lithuanian-born American artist George Maciunas (1931-1978)- that was noted for blurring the boundaries between art and life. 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.

She follows the rituals that society expects of a woman\, however resistant she may feel about them.

With the use of 3D Projection Mapping\, this production explores the relationship between movement and technology to physicalize the mechanical world the Young Woman inhabits.

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.

A mission led by U.S. archaeologist Matthew Stirling in 1939 catapulted the Olmecs and their striking monumental art to mainstream fame in both countries. Made sometime between 1500 and 400 BC by the first \"urban\" culture of the Americas\, the striking naturalism of these large and extremely heavy carved heads of volcanic stone mystified scholars\, artists\, and popular audiences . Heated debates about the dating\, production\, and ancient transportation of the heads raged for decades thereafter\, parallel to racially-charged controversies surrounding the presumed and confusing 'African' traits that these heads evinced. Showcased in a number of now-forgotten blockbuster exhibitions in museums and World's Fairs pavilions in the early 1960s\, the striking heads became a significant presence within official Mexican culture and proved central to diplomatic transactions on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Still more interestingly\, their expansive\, mass-mediated reception also exerted considerable impact on a number of artistic trajectories in the U.S. Exploring their heretofore understudied centrality to early practices of 'public' art\, land art\, and various other sculptural trajectories\, the talk also examines their enduring and unsuspected imprint on artistic and museological practices revived very recently.\n\n UID:8741-1138360@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/8741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:multicultural,visual arts LOCATION:Tappan Hall - 180 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120412T115214 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20120420T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20120420T170000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Celebrating the HathiTrust 10 Million Milestone DESCRIPTION:Join the U-M Library in celebrating a HathiTrust Digital Library major milestone – 10 million volumes and counting!\nFriday\, April 20\, 4:00 pm\;\nHatcher Graduate Library\, Gallery\;\nLight refreshments\;\nHathiTrust giveaways\;\nAll are welcome to attend.\nWe hope to see you there.

Inspired by Turkish\, Greek\, and Western musical traditions\, this piece will be a first for bringing together Greek and Turkish experience in a Western musical setting. Drawing text from testimonies\, folk songs and folk poetry of immigrants\, the piece vividly displays the stories of two women–one Orthodox Christian\, one Muslim–uprooted from their lands and forced to leave their homes.\n\nRecep Gul was born in 1982 in Samsun\, Turkey. He started his musical career in Turkey and conducted Bogazici University Classical Music Choir\, sang in various choirs\, and founded an a capella jazz group with which he released the first a capella jazz album in Turkey. He received his masters degree in composition from Istanbul Technical University’s Center for Advanced Studies in Music\, studying with Pieter Snapper and Kamran Ince. His music has been performed in new music festivals and concerts in Turkey\, Germany and the United States by ensembles including the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra. In 2011 he was awarded both the Rackham Pre-Doctoral Fellowship and the Institute for the Humanities Graduate Student Fellowship at the University of Michigan. He is currently a fellow at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and in April will receive his DMA degree in composition from UM where he studied with Bright Sheng\, Paul Schoenfield\, Evan Chambers\, Kristin Kuster\, and Erik Santos.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the UM School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance\, the Institute for Humanities\, the Modern Greek Studies Department and UMMA.
