Thomas received his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2002\, and his intricate designs are influenced by historical furniture\, industrial plate ware\, and classic Arts & Crafts and folk art iconography. Sarah is largely self-taught as a potter and spent a year living in Japan\, visiting studio potters throughout the country. She throws all of the pottery on the wheel\, finishing and assembling each piece when partially dry.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175158@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121209T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121209T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

The Shah at age 22 was installed as ruler in 1941\, and ruled for 38 years until his overthrow in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini. Iran's present clerical regime defines itself in terms of its opposition to the United States\, invoking the Qor'an to brand America as the \"Great Satan.\" After the stolen Iranian 2009 presidential election and economic sanctions by the West\, the clerical regime now faces the most serious challenge to its rule.\n\nSpeaker: Al Gourdji\, C.P.A.\, M.B.A.\, City College of New York\, who lived the first 19 years of his life in Iran. Prior to retirement he was a corporate officer of Dow Corning Corporation in charge of its global tax activities.\n\nThis is the fourth of 9 lectures in OLLI's monthly 2nd Tuesday Distinguished Lecture Series.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music.

Presenters: Jim Adams\, professor of economics\, Dario Gaggio\, associate professor of history\; Anna Grzymala-Busse\, professor of political science\; and Daniel Halberstam\, professor of law. U-M. Co-sponsor: WCED. Part of \"The European Economic Crisis and its Political Dimensions.\" Free and open to the public.\n\nThere has been\, of course\, no single \"European Crisis\" in the past several years. The banking crisis that spread from the United States to Europe in 2008\, and the sovereign debt crises that spread from Greece to Portugal and Italy in 2009\, are different from the punctured real estate bubbles and bank bailouts that tripped up the Spanish and Irish economies during the same year. Together\, however\, these concurrent crises have revealed how fragile the idea of a united Europe is in the present\, both as a monetary union and as a political ideal. Many have asserted that the answer to the current problems faced by the Eurozone is \"more Europe\" even as new fissures have opened up between the North and the South\, making it difficult to imagine what kinds of policies or institutions might make \"more Europe\" possible. \n\nA distinguished panel of experts from the University of Michigan's faculty will discuss the on-going crises in Europe from the perspective of their respective disciplines. What do economists agree on\, and where do they disagree in their analysis of the current situation? How has the present crisis changed the story that historians\, political scientists and specialists in European constitutional law tell about the story of European integration in the second half of the twentieth century?

Can music and dance be weapons of peace? In 2003\, on the eve of the Iraq war\, director Iara Lee embarked on a journey to better understand a world increasingly embroiled in conflict and\, as she saw it\, heading for self-destruction. After several years\, traveling over five continents\, Iara encountered growing numbers of people who committed their lives to promoting change. This is their story. From Iran\, where graffiti and rap became tools in fighting government repression\, to Burma\, where monks acting in the tradition of Gandhi take on a dictatorship\, moving on to Brazil\, where musicians reach out to slum kids and transform guns into guitars\, and ending in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon\, where photography\, music\, and film have given a voice to those rarely heard\, Cultures Of Resistance explores how art and creativity can be ammunition in the battle for peace and justice.\n\nFeaturing: Medellín poets for peace\, Capoeira masters from Brazil\, Niger Delta militants\, Iranian graffiti artists\, women’s movement leaders in Rwanda\, Lebanon’s refugee filmmakers\, US political pranksters\, indigenous Kayapó activists from the Xingu River\, Israeli dissidents\, hip-hop artists from Palestine\, and many more.

As a result\, a majority of the scholarship surrounding the crusades has set the narratives of Western Europe in opposition to those of the “east\,” contributing to the understanding of this period as solely antagonistic. In an attempt to break away from and argue against compartmentalized readings of crusading texts\, my talk will begin with an assessment and evaluation of crusading scholarship\, as well as a commentary on the classification of literary and historiographic narratives as “crusading” texts. By providing a brief survey and analysis of Armenian sources\, the second section will then move to a discussion of the contribution of the Armenians to the to the study of the crusading period. Drawing attention to one of these primary sources\, the talk will conclude with a discussion of the “Lamentation over the capture of Jerusalem” by the Catholicos Grigor Tlay\, and will contextualize this lament within the greater narrative of the genre of lament\, the Crusades\, and Mediterranean Studies.\n\nTamar Boyadjian\, Principal Museum Scientist\, UCLA. \nCo-sponsors: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Mediterranean Topographies Workshop.

Their ethereal sounds--dreamy\, sweeping\, highly literate and melancholy -- have drawn comparisons to the likes of Cowboy Junkies. Says Leslie Benson of the Dayton City Paper: \"The music of Cincinnati-based folk/roots band Over the Rhine seeps into you with a rich hunger -- each note a separate\, glimmering cloud-diamond.\" And someone once described OTR\"s music as a mash-up of spirituality\, whimsy and sensuality (\"thank you\, thank you\, thank you\,\" they say). If you've never heard Over the Rhine\, this is a great time to check them out. They're unlike just about another group in the music business\, and they have some terrific Christmas songs that are meaningful to those of any faith (or none at all).

The public is invited.\n\n\"In my world\, art and science belong together as naturally as air and water. Both inform my work influencing my approach\,\" said Adlerstein\, an accomplished artist with many gallery showings to her credit. \"Observation\, experimentation\, improvisation\, making comparisons\, searching for patterns and answers all come together within the creative process. As such I have developed my own mixed media techniques and my research influences the subject of my paintings. The process has been magical\, nurturing and informative.\"\n\nAt the School of Natural Resources and Environment\, Adlerstein is an applied aquatic ecologist in the school's Conservation Ecology field of study. She obtained a master of science degree at the University of Concepcion Chile and a master of science and Ph.D. at the University of Washington. Her work focuses on environmental stressors affecting Great Lakes ecosystems.\n\nShe did not pursue academic training in the arts but she has been painting for as long as she has been a scientist.\n\nAt the University of Michigan\, she has taught courses bridging arts and sciences at the School of Art & Design and the Residential College\, and has organized and participated in events to immerse the arts within the endeavors of a research university. Her works have been published in books and magazines\; shown in galleries and museums in Chile\, Europe\, Canada and the United States\; and are part of public and private art collections.\n\nShe is a visiting artist at the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor.\n\nIn 2001\, Adlerstein moved to Ann Arbor with her husband\, Edgar Meyhofer\, a professor of Mechanical Engineering and Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the U-M College of Engineering. They have two sons.\n\nArtist statement by Sara Adlerstein:\n\nI am a scientist and a visual artist\, or the other way around....\n\nIn my world\, art and science belong together as naturally”¨as air and water. Both inform my work influencing my approach. Observation\, experimentation\, improvisation\, making comparisons\, searching for patterns and answers all come together within the creative process. As such\, I have developed my own mixed media techniques and my research influences the subject of my paintings. The process has been magical\, nurturing and informative.\n\nI also view art as a vehicle that transcends academia in communicating environmental issues to wider audiences extending the reach of traditional research publications. My paintings are often environmentally based and images build on my experience as a scientist and my sensibility as an artist to communicate concerns\, dreams and emotions all emerging from a deep and relentless love for life.\n\nIn the current exhibit\, you will find images inspired by the beauty of the Great Lakes aquatic ecosystems and my research on environmental stresses threatening their health and function. These are visions of worlds that exist in a place in”¨my heart. These alternative realities develop in front of my eyes as I research interconnectivities of streams and lakes\; imperilments of species that have become endangered\; population fluctuations\; and ecosystem dynamics ever so affected by human interventions.\n\nI hope for conversation departures to raise awareness of how we can be better stewards for our environment.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176653@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121215T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional support provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time yearly that the entire Zindle family gathered to sing songs together and that early\, communal experience of music took deep roots. In “Ebird & Friends” she draws on these roots and uses her creative energy to bring new life to holiday favorites with the help of her many talented musical guests. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony.
