SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blown Away: epiphany studios glass
DESCRIPTION:A glassmaker from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, April Wagner creates beautiful hand-blown glass at her studio – epiphany studios in Pontiac\, Michigan. Wagner has been working with molten glass since 1993\, and she creates each piece by hand working at a 2000 °F furnace.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain. Linda Stephen's origami art landscapes are part of public and private collections across the U.S. and Japan\, from the JW Marriott Grand Rapids’ Sister City Collection to the City Hall in Omihachiman\, Japan.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

The photos\, taken between 1911 and 1940\, trace her early life to her education in Germany and\, eventually\, her marriage and move to New York with husband Benno\, the photographer who took many of these pictures.

SUMMARY:Performance:Spirit of Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Admission is free\, and there will be a discussion afterwards about the impact of the 1967 events on the subsequent history of Detroit.\n\nSpirit of Detroit\, a new play by Mercilee M. Jenkins tells the story of two people\, Anthony\, a black man\, and Lucy\, a white woman\, who return to Detroit after a long absence to find a very different city. They grew up on the east side in different worlds only three blocks from each other\, together survived the events of July 1967–alternately described as a riot and a rebellion–and now meet again forty years later. As they revisit their past through Anthony’s paintings\, they come to a new understanding of their relationship to each other and the future of the city. Two actors play all the characters in Spirit\, demonstrating our connections to each other\, even in our moments of deepest conflict. The Spirit of Detroit reminds us why we stayed\, why we left\, why we came back and why we’re here now–the opportunity to create a twenty-first century Detroit. The play\, which has had staged readings at Matrix Theatre in Detroit\, will be directed by Kate Mendeloff of the UM Residential College. It is a featured program University of Michigan’s LSA Winter 2013 Theme Semester Understanding Race. http://understandingraceproject.org/

SUMMARY:Performance:Griffin House
DESCRIPTION:Ohio-born\, Nashville-based songwriter Griffin House merges irresistible pop-rock hooks with moody Americana shades and an ability to boil his experiences down to sparse songs. Influenced by a line of artists running from Woody Guthrie to Wilco\, Griffin developed a distinctive style marked by passionate melodies and layers of ambient guitar. His breakthrough album\, \"Flying Upside Down\,\" was recorded with members of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers and appeared in 2007 to wide acclaim. His intelligent and heart-felt lyrics and melodies in such songs as “The Guy Who Says Goodbye to You Is Out of His Mind” and “Better Than Love” have garnered commercial and critical acclaim alike. From being featured on the CBS Sunday Morning Show\, to touring with the likes of John Mellencamp and the Cranberries\, Griffin House continues to gain national recognition.

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:The Great Global Warming Debate--OLLI Study Group (50+)
DESCRIPTION:Can science really predict the future of our climate?  There are essentially four (not two) schools of thought in this controversy: In this class we will be the jury and look objectively at the data\, assess the merits of each school’s scientific interpretation of this same data\, eliminate the show biz and\, hopefully\, reach our own decision about what the facts are and what actions might be appropriate.  Dr. Kaufman has an extensive background in thermodynamics and has taught courses on weather.\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:Performance:Martha Wainwright
DESCRIPTION:Martha Wainwright is the daughter of folk legends Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle and sister of acclaimed singer songwriter Rufus Wainwright. Born in New York City and raised in Montreal\, she spent her childhood immersed in music and often performing with her parents and later her sibling. But Martha is undoubtedly her own person\, with her own sense of style\, creating her own music with an extraordinary versatile and compelling voice. She has recorded a live collection of Edith Piaf songs\, for example\, which it's hard to imagine either of her parents doing. Martha's latest album\, \"Come Home to Mama\,\" features songs inspired by matters of life and death–the death of Kate McGarrigle and the birth of Martha's first child. Says Martha: “This record is a culmination of my life experiences so far. Everything changed for me a couple of years ago and this record is a representation of that and a return to the reason I started writing songs. I’ve made this record as a motherless child and as a mother. Two things I had never been before. For me\, it is a new beginning.”

Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

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: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:Presentation:What Keeps Chinese Officials in Check\, If At All?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers include Yuen Yuen Ang\, U-M Assistant Professor of Political Science\, and Mayling Birney\, London School of Economics.  In a one-party regime where government officials are not elected to power\, what keeps them in check\, if at all? What are some alternative mechanisms of accountability besides elections and formal political competition? And how effective are they? This panel brings together three political scientists to discuss the function and limits of non-electoral mechanisms of checks and accountability in contemporary China.  These include online activism\, a ”˜rule of mandates’ alternative to rule of law\, and market-based media.

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:Presentation:Academic Coaching - Maximizing Listening and Note Taking Skills
DESCRIPTION:Students are confronted with mountains of information during lectures. Frequently\, the quality of their learning depends on how well they listen and take notes.

This seminar identifies the barriers to effective listening\, provides strategies before\, during and after listening\, and shows how to improve comprehension\, memory\, integration and retention.  In addition\, students are prepared to listen effectively during meetings and for group projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Two Species of Sexual Violence
DESCRIPTION:Using the case of DSK (Dominique Strauss Kahn) and Nafissatou Diallo\, Miriam Ticktin will examine the relationship between different forms of sexual violence\, and how some become more visible than others. More specifically\, it will explore the role of humanitarianism in rendering certain kinds of sexual violence invisible\, and it will address the new feminist movements that attempt to counter this tendency. \n\nThe lecture is part of IRWG's Transitions and Ruptures series.\n\nMiriam Ticktin is associate professor of anthropology at the New School for Social Research. She works at the intersections of the anthropology of medicine and science\, law\, and transnational and postcolonial feminist theory. Professor Ticktin received her PhD in Anthropology at Stanford University and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris\, France\, and an MA in English Literature from Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Before coming to the New School\, Miriam was an Assistant Professor in Women’s Studies and Anthropology at the University of Michigan\, and also held a postdoctoral position in the Society of Fellows at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:UMMA Dialogue with María Magdalena Campos-Pons
DESCRIPTION:Cuban artist María Magdalena Campos-Pons visits UMMA to discuss her wide-ranging work in visual and performance art over the past three decades. Dealing extensively with the legacy of the African diaspora across the Atlantic\, Campos-Pons’s work inquires about the continuities of family and traditions as they persist and sustain despite the disruptions of the past\, while also exploring how they can define and constrain definitions of selfhood. Her art has been exhibited around the world\, with notable solo shows at the Museum of Modern Art and the Venice Biennale 2001 and a large retrospective at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 2007\, the same year in which she was also the recipient of the Rappaport Prize. She is co-founder of GASP\, a gallery and collaborative artists’ space in Boston\, and teaches at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in the same city.\n\nJoining Campos-Pons to discuss her work will be Larry La Fountain-Stokes\, UM Associate Professor of American Culture\, Romance Languages\, and Women’s Studies. Dr. La Fountain-Stokes is a scholar of contemporary avant-garde performance cultures across Latin America and is most recently the author of Queer Ricans: Cultures and Sexualities in the Diaspora (2009).\n\nThis project is made possible in part by the LSA Understanding Race Theme Semester and the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Sergei Guriev\, professor of economics\; president\, Center for Economic and Financial Research\; and rector\, New Economic School.\n\nProfessor Guriev will discuss convergence - the hypothesis that poorer economies' per capita income will grow at faster rates than richer economies - among Russian regions. His findings indicate that while there was no convergence in the 1990s\, the situation changed dramatically in the 2000s. While interregional GDP per capita gaps still persist\, the differentials in incomes and wages decreased substantially. The data shows that fiscal redistribution did not play a major role in convergence\, and therefore his study looks at panel data on the interregional reallocation of capital and labor to try to understand the phenomenon of recent convergence. Guriev finds that capital markets in Russian regions are integrated in such a way that local investment does not depend on local savings\, and that economic growth and financial development has substantially decreased the barriers to labor mobility. While during the 1990s many poor Russian regions were in a poverty trap\, in which potential workers wanted to leave those regions but could not afford to finance the move\, by the 2000s (especially the late 2000s)\, these barriers were no longer binding because overall economic development allowed even the poorest Russian regions to emerge from these poverty traps. In this lecture\, Guriev will compare the interregional gaps in incomes\, wages\, and unemployment rates in Russia and Europe\, and explore how economic growth and development of financial and real estate markets affect the potential for convergence.\n\nSergei Guriev is professor of economics and Rector at the New Economic School in Moscow\, where he is also president of the Center for Economic and Financial Research. Guriev's research interests include contract theory\, corporate governance\, and labor mobility. He teaches graduate courses in microeconomic theory\, contract theory\, and economics of strategy. Guriev has published in international refereed journals including American Economic Review\, Journal of European Economic Association\, Journal of Economic Perspectives\, and American Political Science Review.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The History of 10 Percent
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is presented by Stuart Michaels\,senior research scientist\, Academic Research Centers\, NORC at the University of Chicago  \n\nThis lecture by Stuart Michaels traces the reception of the 1948 and 1953 Kinsey surveys of sexual behavior by the emerging LGBT movement in the United States. It investigates the relation between the production and consumption of scientific knowledge and sexual politics. How did Kinsey’s explicit argument against the homosexual as a separate species become the source of the widespread belief that 10 percent of the U.S. population is homosexual? Ten percent was first articulated by Mattachine founder Harry Hay in the early 1950s and coincided with a new conception of homosexuals as a minority. This talk illuminates the role of social scientific measurement in controversies and tensions around sexual identity politics\, from the homophile period\, \n\nStuart Michaels is a senior research scientist in the Academic Research Centers of NORC at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on conceptual and methodological problems in the study of sexuality\, especially sexual orientation as a multidimensional construct in representative population surveys. He is a coauthor of the The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the U.S.\, as well as numerous book chapters and peer-reviewed articles. His current research projects include a five-year longitudinal study of the effects of social networks of young black men who have sex with men on health risk/reduction practices and a project evaluating methods to improve data monitoring efforts for the national HIV/AIDS strategy in the United States. through gay liberation\, to today.\n\nThis event is sponsored by LGQRI.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Alejandro Escovedo
DESCRIPTION:Alejandro Escovedo's life reads like a primer in renewal. He was around at the dawn of American punk rock in his band the Nuns\, which opened the last Sex Pistols show. His next band\, Rank and File\, virtually invented alternative country. Since then he's been a solo songwriter full of amazing stories\, a full-blast rocker\, and a survivor back from the brink of death. A superb electric guitarist\, Alejandro has forged a new and distinctive instrumental collaboration with a member of his band each time he's come to The Ark over the last several years\, and his Ark shows are not to be missed! Alejandro Escovedo comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Big Station\,\" that shows the influence of Bruce Springsteen.

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.

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:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) \"Gender-based differences in the types of social interactions among older adults in Japan are examined in the context of their effects on subjective well-being. We conducted a longitudinal survey to measure changes in life satisfaction and depression\, and the effects of social interaction on these measures. We find that the number of children seems to be more important as sources of social support for female rather than male elders. Further\, spousal conversation and non-obligatory social interaction\, such as unpaid social activities and friendships\, appears to be important for both male and female older adults. Our findings suggest that social relations among Japanese elders may be moving away from more gender-dependent patterns seen in the past.\"\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nGavin W. Hougham\, a medical sociologist at the University of Chicago\, is Deputy Director of the Center for Health and the Social Sciences and Assistant Professor of Medicine. He has published in the areas of aging\, research ethics\, informed consent\, Japanese gerontology\, trajectories of grief\, and quality of care. He is currently developing new methods of data analysis using sequence pattern matching algorithms borrowed from computational genomics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Park is an assistant professor at the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia.\n\nThe “more transmission equals more disease” paradigm is rightly a central concept in infectious disease science. However\, there are mechanisms that can lead to more complicated relationships. Hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer (caused by a virus vectored by biting midges) displays evidence suggesting the parasite is most active (even maintained in a source-sink sense) in regions with little\, or no disease. I will lay out the case for complex and cryptic transmission using surveillance data\, seroprevalence studies\, statistical and mechanical models and sequence-based phylogeography. In addition to reflecting on the power of interdisciplinary science to shed light on disease ecology\, I will review the potential for similar processes to operate widely in a range of disease systems along with the challenge that cryptic refuges for parasites brings regarding surveillance\, intervention and inference.

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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Thao & the Get Down Stay Down
DESCRIPTION:Based in San Francisco after growing up in Falls Church\, Virginia\, Thao Nguyen first picked up a guitar at age 12. She has worked with a long list of acclaimed artists including Andrew Bird\, Mirah\, Laura Veirs and producer Tucker Martine (The Decemberists\, Sufjan Stevens). This year\, in addition to recording her forthcoming album\, Thao has toured the US with the nationally syndicated NPR program “Radiolab.” Says the New York Times: \"Ms. Nguyen’s voice\, wobbly and rich\, is engaging\, and her gently confessional lyrics ”¦ are equally beguiling.” And Spin calls the new Thao & The Get Down Stay Down single\, \"Holy Roller\,\" \"a lusty yet flighty song ... an intricate\, enigmatically charming creation. The group's new release \"We the Common\,\" Thao says\, \"is an album about wanting to be a human who tries and is grateful for the opportunity. It is about wanting to be better and closer to people.\" This is a fresh sound that is breaking out all over! Tonight's opener is Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside\, who mine a sweet spot between modern and vintage. Sallie’s voice has elicited comparisons to classic jazz and blues icons\, yet it is stoked with the fire of youth and rebellion\; it's an instrument capable of conveying raw emotion and nuanced artistry in the same breath.

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: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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Yahoo! Lecture Series: Marti Hearst
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Marti Hearst was on sabbatical and finishing her book Search User Interfaces when Barack Obama won the Presidential election.  By February 2009 she'd finished the book and its associated web site\, her PhD students were all graduated\, and she still had months left in her sabbatical. So it seemed only logical to move to Washington DC and join the administration!\n \nThus began a journey that led to a deep case study in the difficulties of bringing good IT  practices to a $2.5 billion organization with more than $350 million in annual IT spending. Join her for this tale of how she learned to be in the executive suite -- or at least how to wear an executive's suit -- and built one of the largest user experience groups in the federal government.\n\nDr. Marti Hearst is a Professor in the School of Information at UC Berkeley\, with an affiliate appointment in the Computer Science Division. Her primary research interests are user interfaces for search engines\, information visualization\, natural language processing\, digital humanities\, and empirical analysis of social media.\n\nShe has recently completed the first book on Search User Interfaces. Prof. Hearst received BA\, MS\, and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley. She was a Member of the Research Staff at Xerox PARC from 1994 to 1997.

SUMMARY:Performance:Beyond Scale
DESCRIPTION:Taking inspiration from the creative process of Florencia Pita\, this year’s SMTD@UMMA concert series closes with an evening of new works ranging from live electronics to experimental theater\, all generated from an initiating cell or idea. UM Associate Professor of Music Adam Unsworth performs Kevin Ernste’s Nisi for horn and live electronics. Local soprano Jennifer Goltz premieres a new piece by University of Indianapolis Professor (and UM alumnus) John Berners\, in which a single line of text is sung\, fragmented\, breathed\, spoken\, explored\, and shouted. Local ensemble Latitude 49\, made up of UM graduate students\, perform new compositions influenced in part by minimalism. Multimedia artist Carlos Garcia joins Goltz to premiere a new work for voices and electronics that forms itself in real time.\n\nThe SMTD@UMMA performance series is made possible in part by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund. \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:Presentation:Watching a Geisha Dance: Choreography as Historical Source
DESCRIPTION:(FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) When a particular dance work has been staged successively over a long period of time\, how is the choreography actually passed down to new generations of dancers? Of all the various elements of dance–plot\, music\, costume–choreography is the most indeterminate and the most difficult to document\, leaving very few traces in the historical record. \n\nIn the last decade\, the Museum of Albert Kahn in France made public color photographs and moving pictures collected by French banker and philanthropist\, Kahn. These are the artifacts of his ambitious project to create an “Archive of the Planet\,” a visual record “of and for the peoples of the world.” In my explorations of this rare visual archive\, I identified one of the films as a record of a geisha dance performance in Kyoto in 1912. The film was shot by photographer Stephane Passet\, one of Kahn’s emissaries sent out on an Asian tour to photograph and film in color.\n\nThe Kyoto-style geisha dance that Passet captured on camera is distinctive in its choreography. What was most surprising to me was that the dance movements in this one hundred-year-old film were virtually identical to those of the same dance performed today. This raises questions about the meaning of tradition and its physical expression in theater. If it is true that the choreography has remained unchanged for a hundred years\, can we assume this particular dance has existed in the exact same form since its inception? Do the physical movements of traditional dance reveal its entire history? In this lecture-demonstration\, I will focus on the elements of choreography to offer new perspectives on the history of Japanese dance.

SUMMARY:Performance:Suzanne Westenhoefer
DESCRIPTION:In the past year\, Suzanne Westenhoefer has ended up on the cutting room floor of a movie in post-production\, gotten a divorce\, and re-entered the insanity of the dating world–all of which have created more laughter-inducing opportunities than she ever thought possible.She’s bad ”¦ and she knows it. She’s also rip-roaring hilarity wrapped up with a silver bow and a gift tag that says\, “Just Try Me.\" All we have to say about that is: ”Where do we sign up?” Suzanne’s new material is based on her ever-changing view of life after\, well\, everything. She’s a brand-new woman around town with striking insights based on a jilted year that has finally–thankfully–ended. Stick with her\, and she’ll take you for a ride on the wild side with plenty of Pinot (for Ark members!) to keep it interesting. All aboard!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blown Away: epiphany studios glass
DESCRIPTION:A glassmaker from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, April Wagner creates beautiful hand-blown glass at her studio – epiphany studios in Pontiac\, Michigan. Wagner has been working with molten glass since 1993\, and she creates each piece by hand working at a 2000 °F furnace. Whether functional or decorative\, the distinctive look of Wagner's work comes from her unusual combination of traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques and the unique methods she has developed over the years.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pesha's Journey: From Rabbi's Daughter to Radical Feminist
DESCRIPTION:“Pesha's Journey” tells the story\, in pictures and words\, of Pesha–a Jewish woman born into an orthodox Palestine family who struggled to live a life unfettered by the oppressive bonds of her cultural moment. The photos\, taken between 1911 and 1940\, trace her early life to her education in Germany and\, eventually\, her marriage and move to New York with husband Benno\, the photographer who took many of these pictures. These images and Pesha’s story were discovered after Benno’s death by his son\, Eric Bermann\, who co-curated this exhibit.

SUMMARY:Performance:Generation APA Cultural Show
DESCRIPTION:Annually\, UAAO\, a non-profit organization\, puts together a culture show called Generation Asian Pacific American (GenAPA). With an average of 500 attendees and 200 performers\, GenAPAis one of the largest student-run APA cultural shows in the nation\, showcasing the incredible talents of our University of Michigan students through a wide variety of performances.\n\nThe theme of Generation APA this year is “hybrID: Who am I?”. It tackles an issue at the heart of every individual: identity. As society progresses and Asian cultures clash and coalesce with modernity\, it can be easy to lose sight of who one really is. We hope that Generation APA can shed light on this issue by showcasing the art forms within the Asian culture and subsequently\nproviding a greater understanding of the nuances within this culture so that people can really start to identify themselves with it.

SUMMARY:Performance:Frank Fairfield
DESCRIPTION:Frank Fairfield is a young man and old-time folk musician who plays fiddle\, guitar\, and banjo while singing and hollering. He's a word-of-mouth sensation who channels the spirit of another era in his spellbinding live shows. From California\, Frank sings tunes he has worked hard to collect from around the world\, as well as his own well-dusted ditties. His eclectic sets feature soaring hillbilly ballads\, arcane rambling songs\, and murder ballads delivered in a reedy tenor. Still in his 20s but steeped in the pre-War Americana of Mississippi John Hurt and Dock Boggs\, Frank cut his teeth as a street performer in L.A.\, and he has a raw intensity and quick-fingered technique that makes your hair stand on end. Alternating among banjo\, fiddle \,and guitar\, he draws on his encyclopedic knowledge of the American folk canon. Frank has opened for Fleet Foxes\, and his growing corps of admirers includes Ry Cooder and Greil Marcus. Call it American Primitive or just call it folk music–it's a phenomenon\, last seen in town at the 2013 Ann Arbor Folk Festival!
