SUMMARY:Exhibition:Orality and Literacy in Greek and Roman Egypt
DESCRIPTION:\nThis exhibit shows the different levels of literacy that existed in the ancient world\, from people barely able to write to professional scribes able to produce the most beautiful books. It also demonstrates the role of writing in a society where not many people were literate. Orality and Literacy in Greek and Roman Egypt brings together original documents from the University of Michigan Papyrus Collection that illustrate how written documents can help us reconstruct a spoken world.\n\nOne of the ways we can learn about the ancient world is to read the texts left behind. These texts give first-hand insight into what these ancient peoples did\, planned\, and thought\, and we are lucky that the dry sands of Egypt have preserved for us thousands of them\, written on papyri and other perishable writing materials\, allowing us an unparalleled look into day-to-day life. Papyri preserve the written world of ancient Egypt but also provide glimpses of what the spoken world was like.\n\nThis exhibit coincides with the conference “Orality and Literacy in the Ancient World X: Tradition\, Transmission\, and Adaptation” hosted by the Department of Classical Studies\, June 27-30\, 2012.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flip Your Field: Abstract Art From the Collection
DESCRIPTION:This is the inaugural exhibition of a new series of exhibitions to be curated by UM faculty. Entitled Flip Your Field\, this series asks these guest curators to consider artwork outside their field of specialization from UMMA's renowned collections to challenge their own thinking as well as that of UMMA's audiences. Celeste Brusati\, Professor of History of Art\, Women's Studies\, and Art and Design\, an expert in the visual art and culture of the Netherlands from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries\, has gathered a compelling group of images by such titans of twentieth-century abstraction as Lee Bontecou\, Helen Frankenthaler\, Wassily Kandinsky\, Joan Miró\, Robert Motherwell\, and Antonio Tàpies\, as well as works by many other unexpected artists.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Judith Turner: The Flatness of Ambiguity
DESCRIPTION:Judith Turner is a noted American photographer whose subject matter is mostly architecture. Turner's training as a designer allows her to visually understand an architect's intention and to reveal it in compositions that she constructs and edits through her camera work. Her photography can be seen as a metalanguage of architectural intention and as an artistic expression that is inseparable from the representation of the built work. Turner's signature style consists of highly abstract black-and-white compositions that play with the ambiguity of light\, shadow\, and tonality to heighten the aesthetic character of her subject matter and reveal visual relationships not readily apparent. This exhibition will present approximately forty photographs spanning Turner's three-decade career.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by Macy's and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

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:Film Screening:Brave Records of the Sanada Clan (Japanese Film Screening)
DESCRIPTION:FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Directed by Tai Kato\, 1963\, 90 min.\nIn a comedic and fantastical style\, the legendary folklore characters of Sasuke Sarutobi and the Sanada Ten Braves are portrayed in the historical siege of Osaka Castle in 1615\, Edo Period Japan. These famed ninjas who were rumored to have served Sanada Yukimura in defending the Toyotomi clan against the Tokugawa shogunate\, instead serve to impart a satirical tone and social commentary on the student movements in Japan of the early 1960s.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Center for Japanese Studies and the Japan Foundation.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Blood of Revenge (Japanese Film Screening)
DESCRIPTION:FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Directed by Tai Kato\, 1965\, 91 min.\nThe year is 1907\, Osaka is ready to invest in its future as an international trade port. Asajiro (Kōji Tsurata) and his yakuza clan attempt to make the leap to legitimacy as a civil construction business\, but past connections and old enemies lead him back to violence off the straightened path. A pairing of Kato’s forte in directing yakuza films with the iconic performance of Tsuruta (the genre’s first star) as the chivalric underworld hero makes this film a cut well above the standard.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Center for Japanese Studies and the Japan Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Doris Sloan Memorial Lecture: Side-by-Side: Judith Turner and Celeste Brusati
DESCRIPTION:This June\, the A. Alfred Taubman I Gallery features two exciting exhibitions–Judith Turner: The Flatness of Ambiguity and Flip Your Field: Abstract Prints from the Collection. This unique program will offer visitors the opportunity to experience art through the lens of the artist\, in one case\, and the curator in the second. Artist Judith Turner and Abstract Prints curator Celeste Brusati invite you to join them for remarks and conversation in the gallery followed by a reception in the UMMA Commons.\n\nJudith Turner is a noted American photographer whose subject matter is mostly architecture. Turner's training as a designer allows her to understand visually an architect's intention and to reveal it in compositions that she constructs and edits through her camera work. Turner's signature style consists of highly abstract black-and-white compositions that play with the ambiguity of light\, shadow\, and tonality to reveal visual relationships not readily apparent. \n\nUMMA's Flip Your Field project series invites scholars to take a fresh look at our collection by curating a show outside their area of expertise. For the first exhibition in the series\, UM Professor of History of Art\, Women’s Studies\, and Art and Design\, Celeste Brusati -- an expert in the visual art and culture of the Netherlands from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries -- will curate an exhibition of twentieth-century color abstract prints that will complement and contrast with the exhibition of the Judith Turner photographs in the same space. \n\n\nThe Sloan Memorial Lecture honors one of the Museum's most ardent friends and supporters\, Doris Sloan\, a longtime Museum docent. Established through the generosity of Dr. Herbert Sloan\, the annual lecture is a tribute to Dr. and Mrs. Sloan's shared passion for collecting art and fostering its appreciation.\n\nThese exhibitions are made possible in part by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Papyri preserve the written world of ancient Egypt but also provide glimpses of what the spoken world was like.\n\nThis exhibit coincides with the conference “Orality and Literacy in the Ancient World X: Tradition\, Transmission\, and Adaptation” hosted by the Department of Classical Studies\, June 27-30\, 2012.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flip Your Field: Abstract Art From the Collection
DESCRIPTION:This is the inaugural exhibition of a new series of exhibitions to be curated by UM faculty. Entitled Flip Your Field\, this series asks these guest curators to consider artwork outside their field of specialization from UMMA's renowned collections to challenge their own thinking as well as that of UMMA's audiences. Celeste Brusati\, Professor of History of Art\, Women's Studies\, and Art and Design\, an expert in the visual art and culture of the Netherlands from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries\, has gathered a compelling group of images by such titans of twentieth-century abstraction as Lee Bontecou\, Helen Frankenthaler\, Wassily Kandinsky\, Joan Miró\, Robert Motherwell\, and Antonio Tàpies\, as well as works by many other unexpected artists.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
