SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes

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:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

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:Conference / Symposium:Islam in Contemporary Spain: Identities and Representations
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 1980s\, Spain has witnessed a boom in its Muslim population.  Many assume that this demographic boom is directly linked to the increase in North African (mostly Moroccan) immigration to Spain since the country’s incorporation in the European Union in 1986.  In fact\, Spain’s Muslim population is quite diverse: it not only includes large immigrant communities from North Africa\, sub-Saharan Africa\, and South Asia\, but also hundreds of thousands of native-born Spanish converts to Islam.  The rise of Islam in contemporary Spain has coincided with a profound reevaluation of Spanish national identity.  In the post-Franco era\, Spanish intellectuals and politicians have striven to celebrate and promote Spain’s medieval Islamic heritage as evidence of the country’s tradition of exceptional tolerance and multiculturalism.  The promotion of Spain’s Islamic past is not only political but also commercial: one of the most profitable segments of Spain’s tourism industry is built on marketing the concept of convivencia\, the supposedly harmonious coexistence of Christians\, Muslims\, and Jews in medieval Iberia.  Yet\, in a 2008 survey by the Pew Research Center\, 52% of Spaniards confessed to having negative views of Muslims\, and recent projects to build mosques in Cataluña and Andalucía have faced vitriolic public opposition.\n\nThe international symposium “Islam in Contemporary Spain: Identities and Representations\,” part of the Islamic Studies Program’s series on “Global Islam\,” seeks to examine the promises and challenges facing contemporary Spain’s diverse Muslim population and also to analyze the contradictory representations of Islam and Muslims in contemporary Spanish society.  The symposium will bring together the leading scholars and activists working on Spanish Islam in both Spain and the United States.\n\nIt will be divided into two panels: a morning panel on the topic of “Identities” and an afternoon panel on the topic of “Representations.”  The first panel on “Identities” will feature representatives from two of the most important Islamic organizations in Spain:\n\nMounir Benjelloun\, a naturalized Spanish citizen of Moroccan origin who was recently elected the president of the Islamic Commission of Spain\, the main representative body for Muslims in Spain\; and\n\nMariam Isabel Romero Arias\, a member of the executive committee of the Junta Islamica and the director of the Instituto Halal in Cordoba.\" \n\nThe second panel on “Representations” will feature anthropologists and cultural studies experts whose research focuses on competing representations of Islam in contemporary Spain:\n\nJosé Antonio González Alcantud (University of Granada\, Spain) and\n\nMikaela Rogozen-Soltar (Emory University). \n\nAvi Astor (Pompeu Fabra University)\n\nWe envision that this symposium will be of interest to faculty and graduate students in a wide range of disciplines at the University of Michigan: Islamic studies\, Hispanic studies\, Middle Eastern and North African studies\, anthropology\, history\, sociology\, political science\, and religion.\n\nThe event will be free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Golden Age of Comedy–OLLI Study Group (50+)
DESCRIPTION:The comedy of silent films is still hailed by film critics and aficionados as the funniest works in the history of motion pictures. Lacking sound\, film comedians and clowns created a world of physical humor that sometimes achieved the sublime. This course examines the individual artists of the ”˜golden age of comedy’ and considers the more general question\, why is the funny so funny? We will look at some of the early progenitors of silent comedy such as Mack Sennett and the Keystone Cops and pay special attention to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Instructor: Ira Konigsberg\n

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

The unprecedented hyper-growth of the sprawling mega-cities of the (so-called) Global South\, coupled with the proliferation of post-industrial “shrinking cities” in the core areas of the world economy\, has fundamentally altered the pace and form of global urbanism. Yet the dominant theories used to study cities remain largely tied to the urban experience of a handful of leading world-class cities of Europe and North America.  There is a growing interest in re-conceptualizing the field of urban toward a less-deductive theoretical openness that seeks through comparison and contrast to account for the historical-spatial specificity of those cities which are “off the map.”

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Orientalizing Fraud and the Sistine Chapel Frescoes: Annius of Viterbo and Michelangelo
DESCRIPTION:The notoriety of Annius of Viterbo\, aka Giovanni Nanni\, as a successful fraudster\, has distracted historians from appreciating his legacy.  His anthology of forgeries\, Vetustissmi Auctores (Most Ancient Authors) published in 1498\, rewrote ancient history.  He was an early promoter of Christian Hebraism\, and his elevation by Pope Alexander VI in 1499\, to become his chief theological advisor\, signaled his influence in Rome.  After his death in 1502\, his fabrications continued reverberating through the sermons of his devotee\, the most respected preacher in Rome during the first third of the sixteenth century\, Cardinal Egidio.   \n\nTotally unrecognized has been his contribution to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes\, completed 500 years ago.  Michelangelo's older brother was a Dominican colleague of Nanni in Viterbo\, and Nanni’s follower  Cardinal Egidio was close to Michelangelo's patron\, Pope Julius II.  One distinctive aspect of the frescoes is their unprecedented attention to the story of Noah. Nanni’s Most Ancient Authors gave a central role to Noah\, claiming that he was the source of the secular authority of the papacy–Nanni dubbed him the first Pontifex Maximus–and the ancestor of all Europe's dynasties.  Trumping the Donation of Constantine\, this tale was eagerly received in Rome to reinforce the political and military agenda of Julius II.  Dominating one-third of the chapel ceiling\, Michelangelo's Noah frescoes reminded Europe's rulers and their diplomats who entered that the Holy Father was (like Noah) their worldly father as well.  Nanni and Michelangelo also countered the rise of the Ottoman dynasty.  Nanni had asserted that Christian Rome–not the Muslim usurpers–was through Noah the true heir of the lore and mysticism of the ancient Near East\, pagan and scriptural.  Accordingly\, Michelangelo filled the chapel with Orientals: the Israelite ancestors of Jesus\, sibyls\, and prophets.  \n\nBenjamin Braude teaches courses on the Middle East and on European-Middle Eastern relations. In addition to those interests\, his research also focuses on religious\, racial\, and ethnic identities in Jewish\, Christian\, and Muslim culture. Currently he is completing Sex\, Slavery\, and Racism: The Secret History of the Sons of Noah\, which examines the construction of attitudes toward color and identity from the ancient Near East and the classical world to the present. More broadly\, he is interested in post-national conceptions of historiography. He has been a visiting professor at the École des hautes etudes en sciences sociales in Paris and a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program\, Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, and Department of History.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The March of Humanitarianism: 'Clooneyal' Visibilities and the Fragmentation of the Sudan--Human Rights Fellow Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Professor Fadlalla will use George Clooney’s activism for Sudan to show how the intersection of human rights and humanitarian politics construct a grand narrative of rescue and salvation that trumps Sudanese activists’ questions of unity\, sovereignty\, and inclusive citizenship. She argues that\, in the case of Africa in general and Sudan in particular\, the grand visibilities constructed through such politics produce ”˜subaltern visibilities’ and relegate African subjects and their political affairs to the affective realm of humanitarian politics that undermine local histories and socio-economic and political struggles.\n\nAmal Hassan Fadlalla (associate professor of anthropology\, women's studies\, and Afroamerican and African studies) has been named a CICS Human Rights Fellow for 2012-2013. She is the author of Embodying Honor: Fertility\, Foreignness\, and Regeneration in Eastern Sudan (Madison: the University of Wisconsin Press\, 2007). Her recent publications appear in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society\, volume 37\, No. 1\, 2011\; Urban Anthropology\, volume 38 (1)\, 2009\; and in the School for Advanced Research edited volume New Landscapes of Inequality: Neoliberalism and the Erosion of Democracy in America 2008. She is also the coeditor (with Howard Stein) of Gendered Insecurities\, Health and Development in Africa (Routledge 2012). Her interview on Sudan’s Secession and the Future Ahead\, was published in the Fall 2011 issue of the II Journal (Volume 1\, No. 1).\n\nProfessor Fadlalla will develop and teach a course in Winter 2013 on “Human Rights and Humanitarianism: The Fight for Justice and Development in Africa.” As part of the CICS Human Rights Fellowship she will also deliver a public lecture on “Fighting with Human Rights: Transnational Activism\, Humanitarianism\, and Development in Africa\,” and will publish an article in the II Journal on Feminizing Africa: Humanitarianism\, Celebrities\, and Development in Africa.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Images of the Prophet Muhammad In and Out of Modernity: The Curious Case of a 2008 Mural in Tehran
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, a five-story mural was painted onto the wall of an apartment building in the northern section of Tehran. The mural represents the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension into the heavens\, as well as an inhabitant of Paradise offering a flower to a man in the lower right corner. While the composition is based on a 15th-century “Book of Ascension” manuscript\, it nevertheless has been altered in two significant ways: first\, a man painted in a hyper-realistic mode has been inserted into the composition and\, second\, the facial features of the Prophet have been removed. Tracing how the original painting has been pictorially augmented and edited for the public sphere\, this talk offers some new ideas on how images are received and updated in modern Islamic artistic practices. It will do so by paying special attention to the mural’s symbolic position within Tehran’s martyrial mural program\, Iran’s Shi”˜i-Islamic political agenda\, and oppositional responses to the Jyllands-Posten cartoon controversy of 2005-2006.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Martial Arts and Arts of Explication: Jin Shengtan commentary to the Shuihu Zhuan
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Robert Ashmore\, Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California\, Berkeley\n\nNothing draws a crowd like a fight: among all the classics of large-scale narrative in late imperial China\, the Shuihu Zhuan is likely the one that draws the greatest proportion of its allure from individual episodes where basic conflicts based on loyalty\, revenge\, or a sense of justice break out into kinetic scenes of spectacular and often virtuosic violence. It is no accident that the Shuihu heroes and their exploits were favorites not only for narrative elaboration on the page\, but also particularly for reenactment on the stage. This presentation will explore the process whereby this intrinsically spectacular material\, in its novelistic form\, became canonized as a masterwork of writing in particular\, worthy of a place alongside more austere and highbrow classics. The critical vocabulary\, and the exegetical strategies\, of the renowned commentator Jin Shengtan (1608-1661)\, provide an ideal window for us to begin examining these issues.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:KELSEY CONTEMPORARIES: KAYLA ROMBERGER & ALISHA WESSLER

The artists explore themes of collection\, museological display\, and material culture in the context of an archaeological museum. Displayed together\, the two artists’ work creates a dynamic dialog between dystopian and utopian views of the relationships people form with objects. Romberger investigates assemblages of items as a response to apocalyptic fear\, while Wessler examines the role of collection in dream and memory.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics
DESCRIPTION:The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover was developed to assess if Mars could sustain microbial life. Since liquid water is a basic ingredient for life –as we know it\, in order to understand the potential for life to exist in other planets\, we must first understand the behavior of water on them. In this presentation\, the Curiosity Rover\, its instruments\, and its landing site on Mars will be described briefly. Then\, the current evidence for liquid water on Mars will be discussed. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of Curiosity’s initial results. Professor Nilton O. Reno from U-M's Atmospheric\, Oceanic\, and Space Sciences department will be presenting this talk.

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:Performance:Beijing Drum Songs: Heroes and Heroines
DESCRIPTION:“Beijing Drum Songs” (Jingyun dagu) is a traditional genre of Chinese narrative singing\, one that flourished in Beijing at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Sung by one singer who plays a flat drum\, which is accompanied by an ensemble of pipa\, sanxian (three-string lute)\, and the sihu (four stringed fiddle)\, “Beijing Drum Songs” musically tells many stories from the Sanguo Yanyi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) and the Shuihuzhuan (All Men Are Brothers)\, portraying martial heroes\, treacherous villains\, and charming ladies. Currently\, leading singers of “Beijing Drum Songs” are all female\, and their performances musically underscore negotiations of gender relations in China. Ms. YANG Fengjie\, the featured performer is one of the most esteemed performers of the genre. The instrumentalists are members of the Tianjn Troupe of Narrative Songs.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CCS Chinese Documentary Film Series
DESCRIPTION:The film series is free and open to the public.\n\nA film by Nick Francis and Marc Francis\; Zambia\, 2011\; 75 minutes (Mandarin and Zambian languages and dialects\, with English subtitles).\n\nWHEN CHINA MET AFRICA examines China's expanding footprint in Africa through the stories of three people in Zambia: a Chinese farmer\, a Chinese multinational's road project manager and Zambia's trade minister.\n\nA historic gathering of over 50 African heads of state in Beijing reverberates in Zambia where the lives of three characters unfold. Mr Liu is one of thousands of Chinese entrepreneurs who have settled across the continent in search of new opportunities. He has just bought his fourth farm and business is booming.  In northern Zambia\, Mr Li\, a project manager for a multinational Chinese company\, is upgrading Zambia's longest road. Pressure to complete the road on time intensifies when funds from the Zambian government start running out.  Meanwhile Zambia's Trade Minister is en route to China to secure millions of dollars of investment. Through the intimate portrayal of these characters\, the expanding footprint of a rising global power is laid bare - pointing to a radically different future\, not just for Africa\, but also for the world.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Nanci Griffith
DESCRIPTION:Nanci Griffith has appeared at The Ark many times\, going back to the 1980s\, and each of her shows brings something new. Over the years\, perhaps no other songwriter has fused introspective folk songwriting with popular and country roots so thoroughly. On Nanci&#039\;s own 19 albums she draws on personal confessions\, a photographer&#039\;s eye for Texas landscapes\, and social and political themes\, forging a kind of homespun but often complex Texas poetry that nobody else has quite matched. She also has a portfolio of songs that became major country hits for other artists\, like &quot\;Love at the Five and Dime&quot\; (Kathy Mattea) and &quot\;Outbound Plane&quot\; (Suzy Bogguss). In the genre of the woman-hitting-the-road anthem\, Nanci achieved a pair of enduring classics with &quot\;Listen to the Radio&quot\; and &quot\;Ford Econoline.&quot\; Nanci&#039\;s latest release\, &quot\;Intersection\,&quot\; is described by Amazon.com as &quot\;an album about difficulties\, about anger\, about things that slip away and things that explode.&quot\;

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: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:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:In Conversation: “A Michigan Man’s Adventures in Tibet” with Carla Sinopoli
DESCRIPTION:This program is free and open to the public\, but space is limited. Please register to secure your place by emailing umma-tours@umich.edu.\n\nExhibition co-curator\, Professor of Anthropology and Director of Museum Studies Carla Sinopoli will lead this in-gallery program for adults. In 1932\, “Michigan Man” Walter Norman Koelz traveled to northwest India\, leading a scientific expedition into Himalayan regions\, which included the Westernmost outpost of Tibetan culture. Among the twelve large crates Koelz shipped to Ann Arbor---containing thousands of plant and animal specimens and more than 600 objects\, including paintings\, textiles\, bronzes\, jewelry\, wooden moulds and stamps\, and bone artifacts\, preserved today at the Museum of Anthropology---were the paintings and other objects on display in Buddhist Thangkas and Treasures. This informal gallery talk will offer an opportunity to look more closely at the items in the exhibition\, placing them in the context of Koelz ambitions to create a collection of Tibetan artifacts for the University\, and the journey he undertook to reach that goal.\n\nThe exhibition Buddhist Thangkas and Treasures: The Walter Koelz Collection\, Museum of Anthropology is part of the UM Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The UM Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

DESCRIPTION:Even if you've never seen Spokane-born\, California-honed songwriter Tyrone Wells\, you've probably heard him: his songs have been featured in television shows for years–\"Intervention\,\" \"Grey's Anatomy\,\" \"Private Practice\,\" \"Rescue Me\,\" \"One Tree Hill\,\" \"North Shore\,\" \"What About Brian\,\" \"The Mountain\,\" \"Windfall\,\" \"Wildfire\,\" \"The Bedford Diaries\,\" \"Three Moons Over Milford\,\" \"Meet the Barkers\,\" \"Felicity\,\" and even \"As the World Turns.\" He's a fixture of film as well (\"Everyone's Hero\,\" \"My Sister's Keeper\,\" \"Rails & Ties\,\" \"Something Borrowed\"). Of Tyrone's last album\, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote: \" 'Remain' is big intimate music: the songs are small-scale but the music is large\, epic\, and chilly in the best tradition of Coldplay and Jeff Buckley.\" Tyrone comes to Michigan with a brand new all-acoustic release\, \"Where We Meet\,\" and you can get some free music by going to http://noisetrade.com/tyronewells. Fast-rising piano pop star Brendan James opens.

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:Conference / Symposium:Crepuscular Secularism Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Secularism as a political doctrine was formulated during the nineteenth century\, when a group of British intellectuals proposed the separation of church and state and argued that the ideal foundation of government was a moral system grounded in universal rather than religious values.

This event brings together well-known scholars to debate and discuss the secular revolution and its aftermath.\n\nSession One\, 9:00-10:30 AM\nArcheologies of Old World Secularism\nSpeaker: Philip S. Gorski\, Professor of Sociology\, Yale University\nDiscussants: Tomoko Masuzawa and Anna Grzymala-Busse\, University of Michigan\n\nSession Two\, 11:00 AM-12:30 PM\nSlouching toward Bethlehem: Secularism in the MENA Region\nSpeaker:Akeel Bilgrami\, Johnsonian Professor of Philosophy\, Columbia University\nDiscussants: Pauline Jones Luong and Butch Ware\, University of Michigan\n\nSession Three\, 2:00- 3:30 PM\nIs religion back?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

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: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:Global Geography in Early Modern China (16th-17th Centuries): The Entry of Yaxiya/Asia
DESCRIPTION:The notion of “Asia”/”Yaxiya\,” which has now become a reflexive part of the way we imagine the landmasses of the globe\, was introduced into the Chinese vocabulary by the Jesuits and their Chinese collaborators in the late sixteenth century. Taking the entry of Yaxiya/Asia into Chinese vocabulary as emblematic of the changing conceptual lenses through which the earth and the human realm became legible and organized for and by early modern Chinese as well as people in other regions of the world\, this talk attempts to capture these changing terms and the historical experience of spatial cognition and imagination of this era. \n\nAssistant professor at UC Davis\, Yuming He received her B.A. and M.A. from Peking University\, China\, and Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. She has held appointments at Reed College and the University of Chicago. Her research areas include late-imperial Chinese literature and culture\, history of Chinese theater and performance\, and Chinese book history.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rocky Lawrence
DESCRIPTION:You might say the New Haven\, Connecticut-based guitarist Rocky Lawrence plays blues from the Delta–the Connecticut River Delta. But Rocky's roots in the blues go back to the Midwest and South. About 15 years ago\, Rocky put down his electric guitar and started an odyssey into the songs\, music\, and life of Robert Johnson. Rocky Lawrence had already made a reputation for himself as a brilliant electric blues guitarist on the East Coast and in the Midwest. A student of Muddy Waters\, Hubert Sumlin\, and Johnny \"Clyde\" Copeland\, he was no stranger to the blues scene. For three years\, fifteen hours a day\, seven days a week\, Rocky learned and relearned every note\, every tuning\, every vocal inflection of Robert Johnson's fabled 29 songs. Today\, Rocky tours the country educating university students on the historical significance of the Robert Johnson songbook as it relates to the history of popular music worldwide. Using Robert Johnson as the starting point\, Rocky traces the family tree of music through its triumphant climb over the last 70 years\, and then drives the point home with an acoustic performance that truly says it all.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes

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:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

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:Class / Instruction:Raoul Wallenberg and Warsaw Ghetto Uprising–OLLI Study Group (50+)
DESCRIPTION:The hunger for heroism transformed a resourceful and brave Swedish businessman into a superhuman rescuer. However\, many of the achievements attributed to him may not have taken place. Wallenberg was a less important figure to the Jews of Budapest than Dr. Lutz\, the Swiss diplomat. The prevailing view in the first decades after the Holocaust was that the Jews of Europe “went to death like lemmings.” The glorification of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising implies that it was more honorable to die in the streets of Warsaw than in gas chambers of Treblinka\, but survivors like Dr. Tanay\, the instructor for this class\, believe that it was more honorable to struggle to survive than to be killed in a futile effort to resist.\n

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:CCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Martin Powers\, Sally Michelson Davidson Professor of Chinese Arts and Cultures\, University of Michigan. In both modern and pre-modern critical writing\, both \"East and West\,\" the brushstroke eventually came to be characterized as a vehicle of personal expression in defiance of the \"stifling\" rules of naturalistic representation.   This talk surveys the cultural politics of the brushstroke in debates between and among European\, American\, and Chinese intellectuals\, over a period of four centuries.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jodi Forlizzi: The Death of User-Centered Design
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Jodi Forlizzi will share some nascent ideas about why and how the the field of HCI should move beyond user-centered design in framing problems and creating solutions. In the past three decades\, topics of interest within HCI have migrated from usability of desktop computers for office workers to complex\, societal problems including healthcare and sustainability. Forlizzi finds that current HCI approaches\, inspired by user-centered design\, are insufficient to appropriately take on these new challenges. Instead\, Forlizzi proposes that we take a service design approach and conceive of product service systems to look at problems holistically\, and to consider the implications of what we might design.\n\nJodi Forlizzi is an Associate Professor of Design and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University\, in Pittsburgh\, PA. She also leads the Human-Systems Interaction Group of the Quality of Life Technology Center\, an NSF Engineering Research Center. Jodi is an interaction designer who examines theories of experience\, emotion\, and social product use as they relate to interaction design. Other research and practice centers on notification systems ranging from peripheral displays to embodied robots\, with a special focus on the social behavior evoked by these systems. One recent system is Snackbot\, a robot that delivers snacks and encourages people to make healthy choices.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Categorical designation of the Caribbean as \"superlatively homophobic” blinds us to the modes of livelihood that reside within the region and erases the presence of queer citizens. This lecture examines Kareem J. Mortimer’s Children of God (2011) alongside Patricia Powell’s A Small Gathering of Bones for the ways in which the filmmaker and author deploy space to craft notions of un/belonging\, ownership\, and social ambivalence with regard to sexual expression by sexual minorities in the Caribbean. This lecture also examines how local Caribbean activists create queer cartographies in response to state-sanctioned violence.\n\nMichelle Rowley's  research interests address issues of gender and development\, the politics of welfare\, as well as state responses to questions of Caribbean women's reproductive health and well being and rights for sexual minorities. Her publications include \"When the Post-Colonial State Bureaucratizes Gender: Charting Trinidadian Women's Centrality within the Margins\,\" \"Where the Streets Have No Name: Getting Development Out of the (RED)\,\" \"Rethinking Interdisciplinarity: Meditations on the Sacred Possibilities of an Erotic Feminist Pedagogy\,\" and \"Whose Time Is It?: Gender and Humanism in Contemporary Caribbean Feminist Advocacy.\" Her book is entitled Feminist Advocacy and Gender Equity in the Anglophone Caribbean: Envisioning a Politics of Coalition (Routledge\, 2011).\n\nThis lecture is part of IRWG's Transitions and Ruptures series and is cosponsored by Afroamerican and African Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Thomas de Waal\, senior associate\, Russia and Eurasia Program\, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.\n\nGeorgia is an enigma. Along with Kyrgyzstan and Moldova\, it is the most democratic country in the former Soviet Union outside the Baltic States. The October 2012 parliamentary elections witnessed a rare peaceful transfer of power at the ballot box. Yet Georgia resists easy definition. Europe\, Russia\, the United States\, and Georgian nationalist tendencies all compete for space in Georgian society. For 20 years the country has had a strongly pro-Western foreign policy and difficult relations with Russia\, yet opinion polls suggest that Georgians are more favorable towards Russians than Turks. Georgia has suffered by begin idealized as a beacon of democracy by outsiders with their own ideological agendas\, but much of what is described as democracy in Georgia may be better termed competition or pluralism. In this lecture Thomas de Waal will aim to unravel some of the historical and political mysteries of this intriguing country.\n\nThomas de Waal is a senior associate in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\, specializing primarily in the South Caucasus region\, as well as in the wider Black Sea region. He is an expert on the unresolved conflicts of the South Caucasus: Abkhazia\, Nagorny Karabakh\, and South Ossetia. De Waal has worked as a journalist for the BBC World Service\, the Moscow Times\, the Times of London\, and the Economist. He is the co-author (with Carlotta Gall) of the book Chechnya: Calamity in the Caucasus (NYU Press\, 1997)\, for which the authors were awarded the James Cameron Prize for Distinguished Reporting. He is author of the authoritative book on the Karabakh conflict\, Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War (NYU Press\, 2003)\, and his latest book is The Caucasus: An Introduction (Oxford University Press\, 2010).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author's Forum Presents: American Night: The Literary Left in the Era of the Cold War\, A Conversation with Alan Wald\, Howard Brick\, and Dina Karageorgos
DESCRIPTION:American Night\, the final volume of an unprecedented trilogy\, brings Alan Wald's multigenerational history of Communist writers to a poignant climax. Using new research to explore the intimate lives of novelists\, poets\, and critics during the Cold War\, Wald reveals a radical community longing for the rebirth of the social vision of the 1930s and struggling with a loss of moral certainty as the Communist worldview was being called into question. The resulting literature\, Wald shows\, is a haunting record of fracture and struggle linked by common structures of feeling\, ones more suggestive of the \"negative dialectics\" of Theodor Adorno than the traditional social realism of the Left.\n\nAlan M. Wald is the H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor of English Literature and American Culture at the University of Michigan and is the recipient of the Mary C. Turpie Prize of the American Studies Association. The rest of his trilogy includes Exiles from a Future Time: The Forging of the Mid-Twentieth-Century Literary Left and Trinity of Passion: The Literary Left and the Antifascist Crusade. He has been awarded the Mary C. Turpie Prize by the American Studies Association.\n\nHoward Brick is Louis Evans Professor of History at U-M\, and author of Transcending Capitalism: Visions of a New Society in Modern American Thought.\n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, Great Lakes Literary Arts Center\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.\n\nAdditional sponsorship for this event is provided by the departments of English Language and Literature and History.\n

DESCRIPTION:\"Sun Midnight Sun\,\" the second solo album from acclaimed singer\, songwriter\, and fiddle player Sara Watkins\, is out now on Nonesuch Records. Produced by guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter Blake Mills\, co-founder of the band Simon Dawes\, the album features special guest appearances by Fiona Apple\, Jackson Browne\, Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes)\, Benmont Tench\, and Sean Watkins. \"Sun Midnight Sun\" follows Sara's critically acclaimed 2009 self-titled solo debut produced by John Paul Jones. In the three years since that release\, she has been busy touring the world as guest fiddle player and vocalist with the Decemberists and joining Garrison Keillor on his nationwide Summer Love performance tours\, as well as acting as his first and only guest host for \"A Prairie Home Companion\" broadcasts.

USA Today calls the new album \"a gorgeous pop masterpiece with a string player's sensibility.\" The new-folk band Field Report (that's an anagram of \"Porterfield\") opens.

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:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Black and White - Together?–OLLI (50+) Study Group 
DESCRIPTION:Race is arguably the most serious problem in American history and culture. Our history books have done a poor job of relating this problem. 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. 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.

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:Title IX Was Necessary\, Imperfect + Polarizing: Now What?
DESCRIPTION:Enacted at a particular moment in history\, Title IX reflected and codified certain gender and cultural biases even as it created new opportunities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Patterson (PhD History 2001)\, associate professor of history\, University of California\, San Diego.\n\nIn Bought and Sold\, Patrick Hyder Patterson reveals the unexpected ways in which socialist Yugoslavia embraced a culture of shopping\, spending\, acquiring\, and enjoying–a consumerist lifestyle that made this communist country quite unlike its more restrained Soviet-bloc counterparts. Remarkable abundance translated into remarkable civic contentment\, and there was hope that this unique reformist brand of socialism could\, with time\, offer a material Good Life to rival the capitalist West. But many Yugoslavs\, both inside and outside the circles of official power\, worried about the contradiction between the dictates of Marxist ideology and the population&#039\;s enthusiasm for consumption. The result was a heated public debate over creeping consumerist values\, with the new way of life finding fierce critics and\, surprisingly for a communist country\, many passionate\, vocal\, and very public defenders. Ultimately\, the broadly shared consumer culture that prevailed during the 1960s and 1970s was a central factor in creating a genuinely pan-Yugoslav sense of belonging\, a critical form of social glue that held the multiethnic society together. But with the economic downturn of the 1980s\, the unsustainable reliance on ever-expanding abundance led to bitter disillusionment\, stripping the unique Yugoslav model of its legitimacy\, removing an essential source of cohesion\, and priming the populace for mutual resentment\, ethnic conflict\, and war.\n\nPatrick Hyder Patterson is associate professor of history at the University of California\, San Diego. His research centers on the history of 20th-century Eastern Europe and the Balkans\, with major emphases on everyday life and consumer culture and on the interplay of Islam\, Christianity\, and secular society. Recent projects have coupled a concern for Yugoslavia and the Balkans with a comparative consideration of Eastern Europe&#039\;s northern tier\, drawing on sources from Hungary\, Czechoslovakia\, and the German Democratic Republic. He holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Michigan\, and recently published Bought and Sold: Living and Losing the Good Life in Socialist Yugoslavia (Cornell University Press\, 2011).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Digital Compositing: From the Alpha Channel to the 2.0 Look\, Dirt Style
DESCRIPTION:Using digital media to simulate “rough edges\, stains\, organic textures\, and grunge-retro fonts\,” can help one avoid the cliché “2.0 look\,” argues British designer Elliot Jay Stocks\, which he finds aseptic and (too) clean-cut\, as voiced in his 2007 tirade\, “Destroy The Web 2.0 Look.” Stocks is not alone. Also in support of anti-aseptic (and even a bit dirty) web design is Russian-born net artist Olia Lialina who\, in her 2011 talk at the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, advocated a future web aesthetic chalked full of unicorns\, skulls\, simple animated GIFs\, personal journal entries\, and naïve\, amateur-looking home pages. Going back to “amateur graphics\,” Lialina argues\, resists 2.0’s corporate and professional look\, which acts as a disinfectant to personal expression.\n\nBut what happens when these alternative methods are placed in the broader context of the history of aesthetic computing and the development of digital graphics? Do these anti-stylistic calls to arms suffice as a critical model? In this talk\, I answer these questions through an archaeology of digital compositing\, beginning with its prehistory in chromakey\, the development of the frame buffer in the 1970s\, and the alpha channel in 1984. With this history in mind\, I then move into an analysis of contemporary web aesthetics\, as illustrated in the “2.0 look” and its counterpart in dirt style.\n\nCarolyn L. Kane is the author of Chromatic Algorithms: Synthetic Color\, Computer Art\, and Aesthetics after Code (University of Chicago Press\, forthcoming\, February\, 2014). Specializing in the history and philosophy of new media and digital aesthetics\, she received her PhD from New York University (2011) and is an assistant professor in the Department of Film and Media at Hunter College in the City University of New York.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The New Sterilization
DESCRIPTION:This lecture opens the new exhibition\, Interrupted Life: Incarcerated Mothers in the United States. A public reception follows the event.\n\nMothers of young children are the fastest-growing population of incarcerated persons in the United States today.  Policing practices that target poor women of childbearing age–many of them women of color\, most convicted of nonviolent crimes–have halted these women's heterosexual sex lives and reproductive opportunities  as effectively as coercive sterilization programs interrupted the fertility of numerous welfare recipients in the 1970s.  These practices arguably function as a contemporary extension of population policies embedded in US laws governing slavery and immigration since the 18th century.   \n\nThe lecture is presented by Rickie Solinger\, a  historian writing books about reproductive politics\, welfare politics\, who gets to be a \"legitimate mother\" in the United States\, and the relationships of race and class to this issue.  For more than two decades\, Solinger has been curating traveling exhibitions about these matters\, aiming to \"interrupt the curriculum.\"

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:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

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. Work Detroit is located at the University of Michigan Detroit Center at Orchestra Place\, 3663 Woodward Avenue\, Suite 150 in Midtown Detroit. Parking is available for exhibition guests in the structure behind Orchestra Place.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gospel Music: A Changing Beat\, A Timeless Message–OLLI at U-M (50+)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Deborah Smith Pollard\, Ph.D.\, Professor of English Literature and Humanities\; Acting Chair\, Department of Literature\, Philosophy\, and the Arts\, University of Michigan-Dearborn. Dr. Pollard is the author of “When the Church Becomes Your Party: Contemporary Gospel Music\,” which was named a 2009 Michigan Notable Book.\n\nSince its emergence in the nineteenth century\, gospel music has reflected the cultural values and aesthetics of the African-American community while embodying the tenets of Christianity. This presentation will trace how the look and sound of gospel has changed over the past century even as its basic message has remained a constant. Special attention will be given to the Negro spiritual\, the music of Thomas A. Dorsey (the “father” of gospel music)\, and the rise of the contemporary gospel sound as exemplified by Kirk Franklin\, gospel’s most successful living artist.\n

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.

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:Conference / Symposium:Lineages of the Literary Left
DESCRIPTION:This two-day conference honors Alan M. Wald\, H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor of English and American Culture\, on the occasion of his retirement from teaching at the University of Michigan after 38 years on the faculty.  The event celebrates Professor Wald's contributions to expanding the scope of U.S. literary studies and building American Culture at Michigan.  Distinguished guest speakers will present new scholarship regarding literature and leftwing political movements worldwide.\n\nAlan Wald is the world's leading authority on the relation between 20th-century U.S. literature and radical left-wing political movements.  His books and articles have illuminated the creative lives of figures such as James T. Farrell\, Langston Hughes\, Muriel Rukeyser\, Philip Rahv\, Richard Wright\, Ralph Ellison\, and Arthur Miller--and have brought attention to unduly neglected writers such as Ann Petry\, Jo Sinclair\, Carlos Bulosan\, and Joy Davidman.  These are just a handful of the writers who figure in Wald's magisterial studies in modern American culture.\n\nThursday\, March 21 \n1 pm:  Founders Room\, Alumni Center \n* Welcome to conference:\n	Prof. Terrence McDonald\, \n        Dean\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\;\n	Prof. Paula Rabinowitz\, University of Minnesota\n\n1:15-3:15 (Panel  A)\nREADING THE OLD LEFT NOW \n”¢	Julia Mickenberg\, University of Texas\, “U.S. Women\, the Pilgrimage to Russia\, and the Question of Stalinism” \n”¢	Sarah Ehlers\, University of South Dakota\, “Left of Lyric: Depression-era Poetry and Collective Life”\n”¢	Keith Gilyard\, Pennsylvania State University\, “John Henry in the Work of John Oliver Killens”\n”¢	Heather Bowen-Struyk\, University of Michigan\, “The Resurgence of Proletarian Literature in Japan in 2008”\n\n4:00 KEYNOTE ADDRESS\n* Michael Löwy\, Research Director emeritus\, CNRS\, Paris:\n“Jewish Radicals in Central Europe and the US: A Comparative Approach”\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Research Through Making exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In architecture\, research and creative practice are often constructed as opposites. The perceived tension between design and research is indicative of the field of architecture seeking to understand its nature as an applied art.\nThrough a grant program at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, researchers challenge that perception. Research Through Making\, a competitive grant for faculty now in its fourth year\, provides seed funding for a yearlong investigation into the application of design to research.\nThe results of their study are presented in an exhibition open from 3-7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday\, through April 21\, at the Liberty Research Annex Gallery\, 305 W. Liberty St.\n “The broad reach of this year’s projects – which include considering architecture as an experiment in domesticity\, experimenting with structures that are composed to decompose\, and articulating urban emptiness – speaks to both the creativity and intellectual rigor that our faculty bring to the fundamental link between design and research\,” says Taubman College Dean Monica Ponce de Leon.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Phytochrome photoreceptors regulate almost all aspects of plant development\, including agronomically important processes such as flowering time\, fruit maturation\, and shade avoidance. Gene duplication and divergence have produced a phytochrome family with two key players\, phyA and phyB. They occur in all sampled seed plants and they function complementarily and antagonistically in open and shaded habitats to promote development in all terrestrial ecosystems. Episodes of positive selection and radical amino acid replacement mark several branches in the phytochrome phylogeny\, concentrated in the phyA lineage. We hypothesize that amino acid residues at the affected sites are candidate determinants of phyA and phyB specificity and we are testing this using site-directed mutagenesis.  Other projects in the lab use data from phytochrome genes to infer organismal phylogenies\, sometimes yielding trees that conflict with those from using phylogenomic approaches. It is not clear that this results simply from biases in single gene results.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UMMA Dialogue with Mabel Wilson
DESCRIPTION:UMMA welcomes Professor Mabel O. Wilson of Columbia University to discuss her 2012 book Negro Building: Black Americans in the World of Fairs and Museums. Professor Wilson will be joined for this event by UM Professors Kevin K. Gaines (History and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies) and Magdalena J. Zaborowska (American Culture and DAAS). \n\nNegro Building examines the history of exhibitions about black Americans\, from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement\, focusing on the increasing curatorial participation of African Americans themselves and the formative role of this participation in the development of models of identity and of a black American public sphere. \n\nMabel O. Wilson directs the Program for Advanced Architectural Research at Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation. Like the book that she will be discussing for this event\, she navigates in her scholarly work and her studio practice between the fields of architecture\, art\, and cultural history.

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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introductory Panel to \"Animal Acts: Performing Species Today\"
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\n\nPanel presenters: Donna Haraway\, Author of The Cyborg Manifesto and other influential texts\; Una Chaudhuri\, Collegiate Professor of English\, New York University and a pioneer in animal studies within the humanities\; Clare Croft\, University of Michigan\, Dance\; Peggy McCracken\, University of Michigan\, French and Women's Studies\; Joseph Keckler\, Performer\; Carmelita Tropicana\, Performer\n\nWhile feminist scholars have been instrumental in the emergent interdisciplinary field of animal studies\, the role of feminist inquiry in a \"posthuman\" discourse has been difficult to locate. Might the embodied practice of performance help illuminate the connections between questions of gender\, sexuality\, race\, and class and what has been termed \"the question of the animal\"?

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance MFA Thesis Concert: Resulting in This
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Morris\, dance/choreography    Lauren B. Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time.    The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rachael Davis
DESCRIPTION:Michigan songwriter and frequent Steppin' in It collaborator Rachael Davis was born in Lansing and grew up in Cadillac. What grabs you first about Rachael is the voice\, with a bluesy richness that will make you pull off the road to listen. Add in some incisive songwriting\, and you have a Michigan artist with a strong and growing following. Says songwriter Susan Werner: \"We don't have Eva Cassidy anymore\, but we do have Rachael Davis.\" Because Rachael has been swayed by so many different types of music\, her style is difficult to file and will not languorously under broader musical genres. Rachael’s slant on acoustic music can aptly be explained by a cassette mixtape that her father played during her early childhood in the family’s Chevy Cavalier station wagon\, “Iggy.” On one side of the cassette was the soundtrack for the film \"The Big Chill\"\; on the other side was John Hartford’s “Aereo-Plane”. Countless hours of riding and listening during such a critical period for a receptive child had a lasting impression and thus created Rachael's very own category of acoustic music that she calls \"Motown-Banjo.\"
