SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22. For more information about Black Detroit 21 events and artists\, visit: www.detroitcenter.umich.edu/news/2013/1/artist-and-event-info-black-detroit-21. \n\nFor press inquiries\, contact: DetroitCenter@umich.edu or (313) 593-3584.\n\nThe exhibition may be accessed between 11 a.m.– 4 p.m.\, Tuesday – Saturday.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Transnational Feminism in the United States
DESCRIPTION:This is a panel discussion of Prof. Leela Fernandes's book. Discussants include: Maria Cotera\, George Steinmetz\, and Elizabeth Wingrove.\n\nU.S. Transnational Feminism is a provocative examination of the ways in which we understand and create knowledge about the world. The book examines the rise of transnational feminism in the United States and challenges us to think of \"the global\" and \"the transnational\" as ways of viewing the world that have emerged from specific political\, economic\, and historical circumstances in the United States. Transnational Feminism asks what it means to locate feminist research and theory within a transnational frame in the specific location and historical location that we live in and how we can unsettle such national views of the world. The book addresses a range of issues including the impact of the U.S 'war on terror\" on knowledge about the world and human rights\, cultural forms of knowledge such as film and fiction\, feminist knowledge practices\, and institutional practices within the U.S. academy.\n\nThis is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Why do organisms vary so remarkably in the ways they produce males and females? The evolution of sex-determining mechanisms (SDM) is marked by repeated transitions between systems that differ in their level of phenotypic plasticity and developmental canalization. Reptiles are an ideal group to study the driving forces and mechanisms underlying these evolutionary transitions as they display a wide diversity of SDM that encompass temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) and genotypic sex determination (GSD) with either male (XY) or female (ZW) heterogamety.\n\nThrough a series of complementary studies\, my lab is shedding light on how genomic structure and genome function affect the development and evolution of phenotypes\, and the role that the environment plays in these processes at different time scales. Indeed\, the level of phenotypic plasticity and genome organization themselves are driven by biotic factors such as sexual selection and sexual conflict\, and abiotic influences such as thermal disturbances at contemporary (e.g. daily/seasonal/annual) and evolutionary (e.g. climate change over generations or millions of years) time scales.\n\nIn particular\, I will highlight some of our projects through which we attempt to understand the evolution of the SDM and the gene regulatory networks underlying them\; to discover the molecular changes that render TSD susceptible to temperature\; to decipher how males and females are produced in nature and what is the evolutionary potential of TSD in the face of climate change\; and to characterize the genomic rearrangements responsible for the evolution of sex chromosomes and diploid number.\n\nThis seminar is sponsored by the Donald W. Tinkle Memorial Fund

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series 
DESCRIPTION:Unless otherwise noted\, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater\, located at 603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor\, and are free of charge and open to the public.\n\nJanuary 17: RENOIR and SURREALIST PARIS in Black & White \nA short film directed by Renoir in the late twenties\, right after he had discovered jazz\, Sur un air de Charleston is a little masterpiece\, albeit unknown\, of the silent movie period. In 2028 Paris\, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There\, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer\, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\nAn essay in reverse anthropology\, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville\, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties\, it can be construed as a critique of France’s racial context\, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus\, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \nTwo musicians\, Olivier Thémines and Guillaume Hazebrouck\, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a ciné-concert/conference. The movie\, accompanied by a live original music\, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \n\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike\, Inc.\, Beaverton\, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects\, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990\, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s\, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997\, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand\, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003\, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court\, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear\, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams\, and Roger Federer. Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Wilson one of America’s Top Black Designers. \n\nJanuary 31: LISA STRAUSFELD\nLisa Strausfeld’s work lies at the intersection of physical and virtual space: where information structures and physical structures meet\, and where the navigation of information and the navigation of buildings join in a single experience. She and her team specialize in digital information projects including the design of large-scale media installations\, software prototypes and user interfaces\, signage and websites for a broad range of civic\, cultural and corporate clients including One Laptop per Child\, GE\, Litl\, Bloomberg\, Gallup\, The New York Times\, M.I.T.\, Brown University\, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\nStrausfeld holds four patents relating to user interfaces and intelligent search and retrieval\, and in 2006 she was named to the Senior Scientist program at the Gallup Organization. In addition to many awards and honors\, Strausfeld was selected as one of Fast Company's \"Masters of Design\" in 2009 and received the National Design Award in the category of Interaction Design in 2010.\n\nFebruary 7: El ANATSUI\nEl Anatsui was born in Anyanko\, Ghana in 1944. Many of Anatsui’s sculptures are mutable in form\, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood\, clay\, metal\, and–most recently–the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles\, Anatsui breaks with sculpture’s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa\, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction\, transformation\, and regeneration) in everyday life\, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art\, University of Science and Technology\, Kumasi\, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; Indianapolis Museum of Art\; British Museum\, London\; and Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute\, Williamstown (2011)\; Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto (2010)\; National Museum of Ethnology\, Osaka (2010)\; Rice University Art Gallery\, Houston (2010)\; Venice Biennale (2007)\; and the Biennale of African Art\, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka\, Nigeria.\n\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life\, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction\, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms “arte de conducta” (conduct/behavior art) and “arte útil” (useful art) define her practice. In 2010\, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International\, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique\, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of “useful art\,” by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society’s urgent social\, political\, and scientific issues.\nBruguera’s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11\, Kassel\, Germany and several biennials including Performa\, Venice\, Gwangju\, and Havana. She has exhibited at the Tate Modern\, London\; Künsthalle Wien\, Vienna\; Centre Pompidou\, Paris\; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York. \n\nMarch 14: LYNDA BARRY\nLynda Barry has worked as a painter\, cartoonist\, writer\, illustrator\, playwright\, editor\, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip that was syndicated across North America in alternative weeklies for two decades\, Ernie Pook's Comeek\, as well as the books One! Hundred! Demons!\, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!\, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel\, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! and The Good Times are Killing Me\, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. In 2011\, Drawn & Quarterly published Blabber Blabber Blabber\, the first in a 10-volume retrospective series of her comics work. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly\, What It Is (2008)\, won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on “Writing the Unthinkable”\, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful\, powerful\, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010)\, Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination\, where play can be serious\, monsters have purpose\, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\n\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981\, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North as the “most influential documentary of all time\,” and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the “most influential documentary makers” of all time. In March\, 2009\, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said\, “”¦ Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day\, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films\, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.” The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films\, “More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.” Ken’s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations\, and in September of 2008\, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards\, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War\, Baseball\, Jazz\, Thomas Jefferson\, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Mark Twain\, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson\, The War\, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea\, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\n\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a. Alina Troyano) is a performance artist\, playwright\, and actor. Troyano burst on New York’s downtown performing arts scene in the eighties with her alter ego\, the spitfire Carmelita Tropicana and her counterpart\, the irresistible archetypal Latin macho Pingalito Betancourt\, followed by performances as Hernando Cortez’s horse and la Cucaracha Martina from her childhood fairy tales in Cuba. In Tropicana’s work humor and fantasy become subversive tools to rewrite history.\nTropicana’s performances plays and videos have been presented at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in London\, Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin\, Centre de Cultura Contemporanea in Barcelona\, the Berlin International Film Festival\, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York\, the Mark Taper Forum’s Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles\, and El Museo del Barrio in New York. Her work has received funding support from the Independent Television Service\, the Jerome Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Suitcase Fund. She has received numerous awards including the prestigious Anonymous Was a Woman and fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts as well as an Obie for Sustained Excellence in Performance. She is the author of a collection of performance pieces and short essays called I\, Carmelita Tropicana: Performing between Cultures (2000).\n\nApril 4: PAOLA ANTONELLI\nPerspectives\nPaola Antonelli is Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design and Director of Research and Development at the Museum of Modern Art. Her first MOMA exhibition was\, Mutant Materials in Contemporary Design (1995). Her latest exhibition was 2011’s Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects. Antonelli earned the “Design Mind” Smithsonian Institution’s National Design Award and was named one of the 25 most incisive design visionaries by Time Magazine.  She has been a contributing Editor for Domus magazine\, an editor of Abitare\, and the author of the publication Humble Masterpieces: Everyday Marvels of Design. Antonelli’s goal is to insistently promote design’s understanding until its positive influence on the world is fully acknowledged and exploited. She is currently at work on contemporary design exhibitions\, and on Design Bites\, a book about foods as examples of outstanding design.  \nPaola Antonelli's lecture\, originally scheduled for November 1\, 2012\, will take place on April 4\, 2013.\nWith support from Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nApril 11: MASSIMO BANZI\nMassimo Banzi is the co-founder of the Arduino project. He is an Interaction Designer\, Educator and Open Source Hardware advocate. He has worked as a consultant for clients such as: Prada\, Artemide\, Persol\, Whirlpool\, V&A Museum and Adidas.\nMassimo started the first FabLab in Italy which led to the creation of Officine Arduino\, a FabLab/Makerspace based in Torino.\nHe spent 4 years at the Interaction Design Institue Ivrea as Associate Professor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 1\, 2-4pm\nKalamazoo Room\, Michigan League\n\nYuen Yuen Ang\nProfessor of Political Science\n\nWhy Good Bureaucracies Aren't Always Best\n\n\nThe establishment of “good” bureaucracies is commonly seen as a prerequisite of economic development\, particularly among state-directed economies.  But are good bureaucracies\, as conventionally defined\, always the best option? How can poor countries acquire good bureaucracies if they lack resources to replicate institutions of the rich? I address these questions through China’s anomalous reform experience\, where local developmental states seem to flourish without conventionally competent and non-corrupt Weberian agencies. \n

SUMMARY:Other:An American in Beijing: Composing New Music with Old Instruments By Anthony De Ritis\, Professor and Chair of the Music Department\, Northeastern University in Boston
DESCRIPTION:Speaker's note: \"Plums Blossoms\" was the name I chose for my first work utilizing a Chinese traditional instrument\, an electroacoustic work based on samples of pipa virtuoso\, Min Xiao-Fen. This was composed in hopes of getting accepted into the 1999 International Computer Music Conference held at Tsinghua University. This work led to a series of compositions for Chinese traditional instruments\, including \"Ping-Pong\"\, a concerto for pipa and Chinese traditional orchestra premiered by the Taipei Chinese Orchestra with Min Xiao-Fen as soloist. Today I am often asked\, “Why do you compose for Chinese traditional instruments?” In this lecture\, I endeavor to answer this question and more.

Their interracial\, cross-gender collaborations with artists such as David Bowie\, Elton John\, Lynryd Skynrd\, Pink Floyd\, the Rolling Stones\, and Neil Young highlight the intersection of race\, gender\, authenticity\, and romanticized notions of \"black sound\" among artists and fans.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. 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.

The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22. For more information about Black Detroit 21 events and artists\, visit: www.detroitcenter.umich.edu/news/2013/1/artist-and-event-info-black-detroit-21. \n\nFor press inquiries\, contact: DetroitCenter@umich.edu or (313) 593-3584.\n\nThe exhibition may be accessed between 11 a.m.– 4 p.m.\, Tuesday – Saturday.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22. For more information about Black Detroit 21 events and artists\, visit: www.detroitcenter.umich.edu/news/2013/1/artist-and-event-info-black-detroit-21. \n\nFor press inquiries\, contact: DetroitCenter@umich.edu or (313) 593-3584.\n\nThe exhibition may be accessed between 11 a.m.– 4 p.m.\, Tuesday – Saturday.

Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22. For more information about Black Detroit 21 events and artists\, visit: www.detroitcenter.umich.edu/news/2013/1/artist-and-event-info-black-detroit-21. \n\nFor press inquiries\, contact: DetroitCenter@umich.edu or (313) 593-3584.\n\nThe exhibition may be accessed between 11 a.m.– 4 p.m.\, Tuesday – Saturday.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Kharis Templeman (PhD Political Science '12)\, WCED Research Fellow\, U-M\n\nIn the study of democratization\, it is the revolutions that bring down dictatorships and lead to open\, contested elections that typically attract the most attention. Yet in most cases these \"founding\" elections are only the beginning of an arduous political transition\, one that is by no means certain to lead to a consolidated democracy. In this talk\, Templeman considers a key aspect of this transition\, the development of a country's party system after a founding election brings new rulers to power. There is wide variation in the fates of these \"first incumbents\": some quickly come to dominate the new party system\, building large advantages over all electoral competitors and retaining power for decades\, while others rapidly lose support and are tossed out by voters in the next election. \n\nTempleman will discuss several factors that contribute to this variation in incumbent duration\, including the relative organizational capacity and brand appeal of the new ruling party\, its degree of influence over the bureaucracy and security forces and the new constitutional \"rules of the game\,\" and even the type of executive - presidential versus parliamentary - that is adopted. He will illustrate these factors in the context of Egypt\, where the long-time opposition Muslim Brotherhood has in the last year taken power by winning the first elections. The comparative evidence suggests that\, contrary to some alarmist views about the rise of Islamist parties in the Middle East\, the Muslim Brotherhood is not likely to dominate Egyptian politics for decades\, and that the prospects for the emergence of a stable\, multi-party system there are surprisingly good. \n\nKharis Templeman is a 2012-13 Research Fellow at the University of Michigan's Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies. He is a graduate of the University of Rochester (B.A. 2002) and the University of Michigan (Ph.D. 2012). His primary research interests include democratization\, party system development in newly-contested regimes\, and political institutions\, with a special focus on the states of East and Southeast Asia. His dissertation examined the origins and decline of dominant party systems around the world\, in which incumbent parties hold power for an extraordinary period of time by regularly winning contested elections. Other current research includes work on the effects of regime change on military spending and alliances\, and on constitutional design for divided societies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

This course examines black and white relations from early slavery\, which led to the Civil War\, the Jim Crow era and the Civil Rights struggle of the mid-20th century. Lerone Bennett's \"Before The Mayflower\" is a highly recommended reading. Kenneth W. Phifer is a retired Unitarian Universalist \nMinister.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Irina Aristarkhova\, associate professor of art & design\, history of art\, and women's studies\, U-M.\n\nIn this talk\, Aristarkhova will situate selected works of the early Soviet artist Varvara Stepanova and contemporary feminist punk rock group Pussy Riot within comparative feminist theory\, providing an alternative to arguments that their creative work has a \"gender agenda\,\" has nothing to do with real art (nastoyascheye iskusstvo)\, and finally\, has nothing to do with real politics. The analysis will show that the dangers in Stepanova's and Pussy Riot's work lie in their questioning of the traditional definitions of sexual difference\, culture\, and politics and their ability to simultaneously sustain the positions of woman-artist-citizen.\n\nIrina Aristarkhova is associate professor of art & design\, history of art\, and women's studies and faculty affiliate at the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Michigan. She writes on and lectures in comparative feminist theory and contemporary art. She edited and contributed to Woman Does Not Exist: Contemporary Studies of Sexual Difference (in Russian\, 1999)\, and the Russian translation of Luce Irigaray's An Ethics of Sexual Difference (2005). Aristarkhova's latest book is titled Hospitality of the Matrix: Philosophy\, Biomedicine\, and Culture (2012).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Graphene at the Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Thousands of researchers are investigating graphene’s remarkable structural\, mechanical\, optical\, and electronic properties.  Most of these studies\, however\, have focused on only one of graphene’s attributes at a time\, neglecting its unique combination of properties.  In this talk\, we will look at these interdisciplinary boundaries\, examining cases when a mix of graphene’s properties- electrical\, thermal\, optical\, or mechanical - are simultaneously important.  For example\, we will discuss experiments on graphene atomic membranes where electronic and optical signals can control the frequency\, amplitude\, and damping of a graphene drumhead resonance.  We also present ultrafast measurements of photocurrent in graphene p-n junctions and explore the properties of a literal boundary that occurs in bilayer graphene. F inally\, we will look at how graphene is likely the ultimate in flexible electronics.\nBio:  Paul McEuen is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Physics at Cornell University.  He directs the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics and the Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science.  His research focuses on nanoscale electronic\, optical\, and mechanical properties of graphene\, nanotubes\, and related materials.  He received his BS degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Oklahoma in 1985 and his PhD in Applied Physics from Yale University in 1991.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our CBSSM seminar scheduled for Wednesday\, February 6\, 2013\, at 3-4 pm\, NCRC Building 16\, Room 266C.  David Sandberg\, PhD\, will present a talk entitled\, 'Management Of Disorders Of Sex Development: Is There A Consensus?' \n\nSummary: Disorders of sex development (DSD) are defined as 'congenital conditions in which development of chromosomal\, gonadal\, or anatomic sex is atypical.' Decisions regarding gender assignment and genital surgery are often quickly made under pressure. Former patients and health care advocates complain that parents are provided inadequate information to make decisions\, many irreversible\, for their DSD-affected child. This presentation will provide an overview of the major controversies in DSD clinical management and the opportunities that exist for developing decision support tools that enhance the decision-making process and outcomes.\n\nDr. Sandberg is Professor and Director of the Division of Child Behavioral Health in the Department of Pediatrics & Communicable Diseases at the University of Michigan.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center for Korean Studies Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:The Samgang Haengsil-to\, a Choson-dynasty (1392-1910) moral primer\, collected stories of moral actions from Chinese and Korean history by filial sons\, loyal subjects and devoted women. As indicated in its preface\, the court’s intention in compiling\, printing and distributing this book was to educate the lay audience–who were mostly illiterate–in Confucian ethics. For this reason\, the court decided to provide each story with a visual illustration that included multiple scenes of the story depicting the hero or heroine in action and highlighted his or her outstanding ethical quality. If a reader should expect to understand a story with the aid of the illustration\, however\, it would confuse the reader\, for the order of scenes in the illustration mostly likely does not follow any anticipated flow of the story as described in the written text. This talk attempts a careful reading of the dynamics and intents behind these illustrations\, and presents a hypothesis that these illustrations were inserted to provoke and recall the “moral nature” of illiterate lay audience\, rather than to help them follow or understand the written texts by visually recounting them. This is different from previous hypotheses regarding Chinese narrative illustrations and illustrated fictions in late imperial period\, in which illustrations supposedly worked with written texts. Taking into consideration the context of reading in Choson and the Confucian moral philosophy\, this talk delineates a third text embedded in this book: the oral text. Since classical Chinese texts presented a dual impediment to the illiterate public of Choson–for being written and for being foreign–these illustrations could not work directly with the written text but only indirectly by inspiring them with accompanied oral texts told by the literate readers in the form of interpretation.\n\nYoung Kyun Oh\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Chinese and Sino-Korean\, Arizona State University
