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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Life Sciences Orchestra concert: A Flood of Sound
DESCRIPTION:A wave of music will wash over the audience on Thursday\, May 3\, as the University of Michigan Life Sciences Orchestra plays a free water-themed concert of classical works to celebrate spring.\n\nThe performance\, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Ann Arbor’s famed Hill Auditorium\, will feature works by Beethoven\, Mendelssohn\, Respighi and Wagner.\n\nIt is free and open to all ages\, with a suggested admission of $1. No tickets are required. Martin Philbert\, Ph.D.\, dean of the U-M School of Public Health\, will give opening remarks.\n\nLSO music director Oriol Sans has chosen water-inspired pieces from four major classical composers\, which he and assistant conductor Matthew B. Dell will conduct. They are:\n\n- The Hebrides Overture by Felix Mendelssohn\, inspired by the composer’s trip to Fingal’s Cave\, a sea cavern in Scotland’s Hebrides Islands \n\n- Fountains of Rome by Ottorino Respighi\, depicting four of Rome’s fountains during different times of the day \n\n- The Overture to The Flying Dutchman\, from an opera in which Richard Wagner tells the tale of a sea captain doomed to sail the seas forever \n\n- Symphony No. 6\, op. 68\, in F Major by Ludwig van Beethoven\, often called the “Pastoral” symphony for its themes of babbling brooks\, thunderstorms\, and carousing peasants. \n\nSans is a recent graduate of\, and Dell is a student in\, the noted orchestral conducting program at the U-M School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance.\n\nFor more information on the concert or the LSO\, visit www.umich.edu/~lsorch or www.facebook.com/umlso\, send e-mail to orchestra@umich.edu\, or call (734) 936-ARTS.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Institute for the Humanities 2012 Spring Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Each spring the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities gathers together friends and alumni to explore a topic through a humanities-and-arts lens. This year\, “Log On to the Humanities: How New Technologies Expand the Humanities and How They Don’t” takes its lead from the institute’s just-completed Year of Digital Humanities. We explored profound shifts in scholarly practice\, book publication\, partnership across vast distances\, changes in the global flow of knowledge\, and relations between the humanities and the arts that have been emerging courtesy of the technological revolution. These changes expand the possible horizons of the humanities for a young generation and are here to stay. But they also bring the danger of flash over focus\, tweet over narration\, attention deficit over close scrutiny\, and the aesthetics of absorption. Featuring digital artist Paul Kaiser\, U-M School of Information faculty Finn Brunton\, and former U-M Press director Phil Pochoda. Visit our website for complete details.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Peter Campus: Kiva
DESCRIPTION:Peter Campus is a pioneer of video art who experimented with the medium in the 1970s alongside other notable artists Bill Viola\, Bruce Nauman\, and Joan Jonas. Video represented a new frontier\, one that allowed artists to expand upon common artistic concerns of the era\, including minimalism\, performance\, and conceptual art Campus pursued many directions\, and created both large-scale projections and a series of little-seen installation works that employ live video feeds\, of which Kiva (1971) is one. Campus experimented with closed circuit cameras not with an interest in surveillance and control\, but rather because they were the ideal tools for producing situations of interactive engagement between viewer and image.\n\nKiva–the title refers to a kind of ceremonial room used by Native Americans of the Southwest for ritual and spiritual ceremonies–comprises a monitor with a closed circuit camera mounted on top\; the lens is pointed directly at the viewer of the monitor\, but the camera's view is restricted and manipulated by the placement of suspended mirrors. The camera shoots through a hole in one mirror to the surface of the other\, both constantly shifting in relation to each other as they turn like a mobile. The mirrors fragment and multiply the image\, allowing the camera to take in aspects of the room\, the viewer\, and the eye of the camera itself.\n\nThis project is made possible by the UMMA Director's Discretionary Fund.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Gallery Talks and Tours: Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life 
DESCRIPTION:Noted for blurring the boundaries between art and life\, Fluxus artists such as George 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. Their work redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that \"anything can be art and anyone can do it\" and by their disregard for traditional artistic media.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Peter Campus: Kiva
DESCRIPTION:Peter Campus is a pioneer of video art who experimented with the medium in the 1970s alongside other notable artists Bill Viola\, Bruce Nauman\, and Joan Jonas. Video represented a new frontier\, one that allowed artists to expand upon common artistic concerns of the era\, including minimalism\, performance\, and conceptual art Campus pursued many directions\, and created both large-scale projections and a series of little-seen installation works that employ live video feeds\, of which Kiva (1971) is one. Campus experimented with closed circuit cameras not with an interest in surveillance and control\, but rather because they were the ideal tools for producing situations of interactive engagement between viewer and image.\n\nKiva–the title refers to a kind of ceremonial room used by Native Americans of the Southwest for ritual and spiritual ceremonies–comprises a monitor with a closed circuit camera mounted on top\; the lens is pointed directly at the viewer of the monitor\, but the camera's view is restricted and manipulated by the placement of suspended mirrors. The camera shoots through a hole in one mirror to the surface of the other\, both constantly shifting in relation to each other as they turn like a mobile. The mirrors fragment and multiply the image\, allowing the camera to take in aspects of the room\, the viewer\, and the eye of the camera itself.\n\nThis project is made possible by the UMMA Director's Discretionary Fund.
