SUMMARY:Exhibition:Operation AB - Katyn
DESCRIPTION:Operation AB - Katyn: The Destruction of the Polish Elite at the Beginning of World War II\, is divided into several thematic blocks. The first depicts the Soviet-German political and military alliance in the years 1939-1941. The next sections present the two notorious criminal operations of 1940\, first the Katyn Massacre\, and then the AB Operation. The exhibit also presents profiles of several victims\, including families that fell victim to both aggressors. Finally\, the exhibit looks at the big picture of these operations\, depicting their geographical range and documenting the lack of punishment for the vast majority of the Third Reich and the USSR officers responsible for these crimes.\n\nSponsored by The Institute of National Remembrance\, Poland\nThe University of Michigan\, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures\nThe Polski Klub and Polish Cultural Fund - Ann Arbor

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Orange Revolution in Ukraine: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia
DESCRIPTION:The Orange Revolution exhibit includes campaign memorabilia from the 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine such as brochures\, posters\, the ubiquitous orange scarf\, t-shirts\, bumper stickers\, postcards\, pins\, etc. The exhibit offers a small sampling of campaign rhetoric for and against each of the presidential candidates -- Yushchenko and Yanukovich. Yuschchenko was the pro-democracy and pro-Western candidate\, while Yanukovich was backed by the pro-communist\, authoritarian Ukrainian regime. The first round of voting took place in November 2004\, however\, the results were nullified by the Supreme Court when it determined that there was widespread election fraud. Viktor Yushchenko won the presidency during the second round of voting in December 2004. Visitors will also read about the experiences of two election observers from Michigan who were in Ukraine during those heady days of change.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Islamism In Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Islamism has been on the rise throughout Southeast Asia since the late 1980s. Both the nature of its growing social and political influence and the political implications of its rise\, however\, have differed markedly across the states that comprise the region. The aim of this symposium is two-fold: first\, to explore the different manifestations of Islamism and its impact in both Muslim-majority states (e.g.\, Indonesia and Malaysia) and Muslim-minority states (e.g.\, Philippines and Thailand)\; and second\, to provide a comparative perspective so as to stimulate discussion among scholars with different regional expertise. The symposium thus highlights two panels of renowned experts on Southeast Asia\, followed by a keynote address on the future of Islamism in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by one of the most prominent scholars of the MENA.\n\n \n\nIntro 9:15 - 9:30 a.m.\nDr. Pauline Jones Luong\, Islamic Studies Program Director\n\nPanel 1: 9:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.\nElectoral Politics in Muslim Majority States\nChair: Allen Hicken\, Department of Political Science\, U-M\nPanel Participants:\nKikue Hamayotsu\, Northern Illinois University\nThomas Pepinsky\, Cornell University\nMeredith Weiss\, SUNY\n\nPanel 2: 1 - 3:30 p.m.\nPolitical Mobilization in Muslim Minority States\nChair: Pauline Jones Luong\nPanel Participants:\nJoseph Chinyong Liow\, Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\nDuncan McCargo\, University of Leeds\nJoel Selway\, Brigham Young University\n\nBreak: 3:30 - 4 p.m.\n\nKeynote Address: 4 p.m.\nIslamism in the Middle East and North Africa: Between Domination and Rejection\nDr. Marina Ottaway\, Senior Scholar\; Wilson Center\, Middle East Program\nDiscussant:: Terence Gomez\, University of Malaya (Visiting Scholar\, CSEAS\, University of Michigan)\nSponsored by: Main Sponsor ISP\, Co-sponsors CSEAS\, WCED

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Nam Center for Korean Studies--(Re)-Discovering Sport in Korea: Guts\, Glory\, and Geurimja
DESCRIPTION:Sport is a multifaceted phenomenon that is often utilized as a powerful agent for social and economic development. Individuals\, institutions\, businesses\, and governments have actively leveraged sport to drive significant impact and development in a variety of social\, economic\, and political contexts in Korea and of Korean sports abroad. Although emphasis on the elite sport system and hosting mega events (e.g.\, 1988 Seoul Olympics\, 2002 FIFA World Cup\, and 2018 PyeongChang Olympics) may have contributed to gain significant international recognition and national pride\, much less has been scrutinized or documented about the fundamental values\, social implications\, and complex dynamics of sport in the context of contemporary Korea. How do media representations of sport contribute to Korean nationalistic sentiments? How are sport articulated in cultural products (such as Hallyu)? How does Korea fit into the global promotion–and the reception of that promotion–of martial arts such as Taekwondo? How does/whether policy-setting around mega events widen the disparity between elite and amateur sport? What are the challenges for sport properties and facilities to become more financially viable? What is the current state of players’ association in Korean professional sport industry? What are the effects of scandals such as sport betting and match-fixing on not only the sport industry in Korea\, but also on Korea’s national self-image? What important challenges and issues remain for exploration to understand sport’s full potential in making positive and sustainable economic impact and social utilities in Korea?\n\nTaking a multidisciplinary approach\, the international conference\, “(Re)-Discovering Sport in Korea: Guts\, Glory\, and Geurimja” hopes to bring together scholars from across disciplines to address any and all aspects of the phenomenon of sport and the physical culture in contemporary Korea. This conference\, sponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies\, is not only the first conference to contemplate Korea in the context of sports\, but also will be the largest academic gathering in the United States dedicated to various themes around Korean sports. We hope to channel the integrative and cohesive characteristics inherent in sport into this conference to discover–or re-discover–the role of sport in Korea. The goal of this conference is to encourage\, support\, and showcase research that examines the role of sport in Korea from a multitude of perspectives.\n\nPlease direct any further questions about the conference to the organizers at sport.korea@umich.edu.\n\nOrganizers: Dae Hee Kwak (School of Kinesiology\, University of Michigan)\, Nojin Kwak (Nam Center/Department of Communication Studies\, University of Michigan)\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Four Decades\, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: prints 
DESCRIPTION:Rising young South African artist Mary Sibande constructs elaborate visual narratives to consider race\, gender\, and class in post-colonial South Africa. Rooted in her own family’s history of three generations of women as domestic servants\, Sibande’s larger-than-life figures clothed in yards of fabric confront the viewer with the stark limits of cultural heritage as well as the possibility of transformation. Sibande’s Ann Arbor fellowship includes an original installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, a Penny Stamps lecture\, an open studio at the Stamps School on North Campus\, and exhibition of Sibande’s existing work at Gallery DAAS\, the U-M Museum of Art\, and the Stamps School Slusser Gallery.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Two Halls of Hangzhou: The Shifting Geo-political Significance of a Song Dynasty City As Seen Through Three Local Gazetteers
DESCRIPTION:This presentation charts the changing geo-political significance of the city of Hangzhou during the 11th to 13th centuries by examining writings on two of its most important architectural sites: the Hall of Possessing Beauty (youmei tang) and the Hall of Centrality and Peace (zhonghe tang). Through literati and imperial writings on these two structures preserved in a series of three local gazetteers on Hangzhou spanning a century\, we can see the shift in discourses on the city\, from standing as an index of rising economic and cultural importance to signifying anxieties about territorial loss and the pleasures of the city.\n\nBenjamin B. Ridgway is a Visiting Lecturer of Chinese Studies at the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana\, investigating the intersections between geographical and literary discourses during the Song dynasty. Previously he taught Chinese language and literature at Middlebury College and Valparaiso University. He recently published an article on Su Shi’s song lyrics as a poetry of national loss in the early Southern Song in CLEAR. He is completing a manuscript on the themes of travel and displacement in Su Shi’s song lyrics entitled From the Banquet to the Border: Landscape and Literati Identity in Chinese Song Lyrics at the Turn of the Twelfth Century.\n\nPhoto caption: Map of Hangzhou’s West Lake and surrounding mountains take from the local gazetteer Xianchun Lin’an Zhi (1268)

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series - Forest of Oppression–A Record of the Struggle at Takasaki City University of Economics
DESCRIPTION:After their first film\, Sea of Youth\, the film team turned itself into a full-fledged collective: the Independent Screening Organization\, or Jieso for short. This was the precursor to Ogawa Productions\, and as the name indicates\, their focus was on reception. This was because they discovered there was no easy way to show Sea of Youth. Jieso networked social movements and film fans across Japan to create an alternative distribution route. Their next film\, Forest of Oppression\, turns to the phenomenon of students barricading themselves inside schools to various political ends. They chose Takasaki City University of Economics\, and audiences were shocked by the vigor and violence of this protest in such a minor university. The film put Ogawa on the map.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

SUMMARY:Performance:David Bromberg
DESCRIPTION:A legend of the folk scene\, David Bromberg got his start in the Greenwich Village coffeehouse scene in the mid-1960s. His extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range developed over the next decade. David's live shows\, rarer since he took up violin-making full time\, range from Texas swing to bluegrass\, blues\, classical music\, and anything else that might cross his mind. In the words of the New York Times\, Bromberg \"has such control of his audience that he can\, at one moment\, hold it in his hand with a tender\, touching yet funny anecdotal song\, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.\" We might add that he picked up on the humor in country and classic blues as well as anyone else in the folk revival scene\, making his shows a great deal of fun. David appears tonight with his quintet\, with whom he's currently recording a new album at Levon Helm Studios\, so expect new music!

SUMMARY:Performance:Over the Rhine w/sg Tift Merritt
DESCRIPTION:Named for a tough but enduringly creative neighborhood north of downtown Cincinnati\, Over the Rhine is the duo of Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist. Their ethereal sounds–dreamy\, sweeping\, highly literate and melancholy–have drawn comparisons to the likes of Cowboy Junkies. Says Leslie Benson of the Dayton City Paper: \"The music of Cincinnati-based folk/roots band Over the Rhine seeps into you with a rich hunger -- each note a separate\, glimmering cloud-diamond.\" And someone once described OTR\"s music as a mash-up of spirituality\, whimsy and sensuality (\"thank you\, thank you\, thank you\,\" they say). If you've never heard Over the Rhine\, this is a great time to check them out! Their opener is Tift Merritt\, in the words of The New Yorker \"the bearer of a proud tradition of distaff country soul that reaches back to artists like Dusty Springfield and Bobbie Gentry.\" Emmylou Harris said she \"stood out like a diamond in a coal patch\,\" and she's a Southern storytelling songwriter with few peers.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Nam Center for Korean Studies--(Re)-Discovering Sport in Korea: Guts\, Glory\, and Geurimja
DESCRIPTION:Sport is a multifaceted phenomenon that is often utilized as a powerful agent for social and economic development. Individuals\, institutions\, businesses\, and governments have actively leveraged sport to drive significant impact and development in a variety of social\, economic\, and political contexts in Korea and of Korean sports abroad. Although emphasis on the elite sport system and hosting mega events (e.g.\, 1988 Seoul Olympics\, 2002 FIFA World Cup\, and 2018 PyeongChang Olympics) may have contributed to gain significant international recognition and national pride\, much less has been scrutinized or documented about the fundamental values\, social implications\, and complex dynamics of sport in the context of contemporary Korea. How do media representations of sport contribute to Korean nationalistic sentiments? How are sport articulated in cultural products (such as Hallyu)? How does Korea fit into the global promotion–and the reception of that promotion–of martial arts such as Taekwondo? How does/whether policy-setting around mega events widen the disparity between elite and amateur sport? What are the challenges for sport properties and facilities to become more financially viable? What is the current state of players’ association in Korean professional sport industry? What are the effects of scandals such as sport betting and match-fixing on not only the sport industry in Korea\, but also on Korea’s national self-image? What important challenges and issues remain for exploration to understand sport’s full potential in making positive and sustainable economic impact and social utilities in Korea?\n\nTaking a multidisciplinary approach\, the international conference\, “(Re)-Discovering Sport in Korea: Guts\, Glory\, and Geurimja” hopes to bring together scholars from across disciplines to address any and all aspects of the phenomenon of sport and the physical culture in contemporary Korea. This conference\, sponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies\, is not only the first conference to contemplate Korea in the context of sports\, but also will be the largest academic gathering in the United States dedicated to various themes around Korean sports. We hope to channel the integrative and cohesive characteristics inherent in sport into this conference to discover–or re-discover–the role of sport in Korea. The goal of this conference is to encourage\, support\, and showcase research that examines the role of sport in Korea from a multitude of perspectives.\n\nPlease direct any further questions about the conference to the organizers at sport.korea@umich.edu.\n\nOrganizers: Dae Hee Kwak (School of Kinesiology\, University of Michigan)\, Nojin Kwak (Nam Center/Department of Communication Studies\, University of Michigan)\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Four Decades\, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Lou & Peter Berryman
DESCRIPTION:Lou and Peter Berryman are musical humorists who have delighted nationwide audiences for more than 30 years. Frequent comparisons to Tom Lehrer (who said\, \"I love your material\, and if I were still performing\, I'd steal it\")\, Flanders and Swann\, and Burns and Allen notwithstanding\, these two are originals\, blending Midwestern culture with intelligent observation in a whimsical and wonderfully accessible performance. They have produced a dozen albums and three songbooks of their original and hilarious\, quirky\, yet oddly profound music\, and they've toured the U.S. and Canada to rave reviews. Lou and Peter Berryman songs are being sung around the world\, by a legion of professional musicians including Garrison Keillor\, as well as shower singers everywhere. The pair began their musical partnership in high school in Appleton\, Wisconsin\, and their friendship survived a brief marriage before maturing into a durable creative collaboration. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: The wait seems to go on forever (mural\, 2008) 
DESCRIPTION:Rising young South African artist Mary Sibande constructs elaborate visual narratives to consider race\, gender\, and class in post-colonial South Africa. Rooted in her own family’s history of three generations of women as domestic servants\, Sibande’s larger-than-life figures clothed in yards of fabric confront the viewer with the stark limits of cultural heritage as well as the possibility of transformation. Sibande’s Ann Arbor fellowship includes an original installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, a Penny Stamps lecture\, an open studio at the Stamps School on North Campus\, and exhibition of Sibande’s existing work at Gallery DAAS\, the U-M Museum of Art\, and the Stamps School Slusser Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Four Decades\, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
DESCRIPTION:The jazz-blues-and-swing combo that touched off a whole new craze for classic American dance music in the 1990s is back with new music! Big Bad Voodoo Daddy took its name from an autograph blues guitarist Albert Collins scrawled on a poster for BBVD leader Scotty Morris in 1989. With thousands of appearances in the U.S. and overseas over the last decade\, the band became known for delivering a good time more reliably than just about anybody else. Almost anything can happen in a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy concert–such as the world's only male-vocal version of the Blue Lu Barker classic \"Don't You Feel My Leg.\" Big Bad Voodoo Daddy comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Rattle Them Bones.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Pierced Porcelain
DESCRIPTION:In this current body of work\, Kate Tremel is interested in taking a fresh look at traditional pottery forms within a functional context. She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Stitched Impressions: Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Textile artist Carole Harris is a Detroit native. Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Art of Storytelling: Fabric Appliqué
DESCRIPTION:Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work is about the mysterious origin of joy and the wonder of childhood. To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: The wait seems to go on forever (mural\, 2008) 
DESCRIPTION:Rising young South African artist Mary Sibande constructs elaborate visual narratives to consider race\, gender\, and class in post-colonial South Africa. Rooted in her own family’s history of three generations of women as domestic servants\, Sibande’s larger-than-life figures clothed in yards of fabric confront the viewer with the stark limits of cultural heritage as well as the possibility of transformation. Sibande’s Ann Arbor fellowship includes an original installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, a Penny Stamps lecture\, an open studio at the Stamps School on North Campus\, and exhibition of Sibande’s existing work at Gallery DAAS\, the U-M Museum of Art\, and the Stamps School Slusser Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Four Decades\, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Kunlun Wild Life: Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Qinghai Province is China’s most ethnically diverse and the least-populated of all Chinese provinces. The area is similar to Montana\, Wyoming\, Colorado\, and Utah\, except that 19\,000 - foot mountain peaks\, high plains\, sheep herders\, wild yaks\, camels\, temples\, monks\, and small farms sparsely spread in the region. Currently the Kunlun National Park is being developed in partnership with Yellowstone National Park in an effort to preserve the natural wonders and the wildlife of the Kunlun Mountains. There will be 100 plus captivating photographs showcasing the mystery and beauty of mountain life and environments of the Kunlun National Park. Kunlun Wild Life photography exhibition will be held at two different locations: 10/12-10/31 at the Art Lounge at the Michigan Union and 10/21 – 11/9 at Atrium 4 at Palmer Commons.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Pierced Porcelain
DESCRIPTION:In this current body of work\, Kate Tremel is interested in taking a fresh look at traditional pottery forms within a functional context. She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Stitched Impressions: Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Textile artist Carole Harris is a Detroit native. Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Art of Storytelling: Fabric Appliqué
DESCRIPTION:Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work is about the mysterious origin of joy and the wonder of childhood. To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Four Decades\, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Pierced Porcelain
DESCRIPTION:In this current body of work\, Kate Tremel is interested in taking a fresh look at traditional pottery forms within a functional context. She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Stitched Impressions: Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Textile artist Carole Harris is a Detroit native. Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Art of Storytelling: Fabric Appliqué
DESCRIPTION:Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work is about the mysterious origin of joy and the wonder of childhood. To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Mary Gluck\, professor of history and comparative literature\, Brown University. \n\nIn the years between 1880 and 1914\, Budapest Orpheum pioneered one of the most innovative entertainment industries of Central Europe. The phenomenon was closely identified with the Jewish lower middle classes\, but its appeal was much broader\, encompassing middle class professionals and members of the nobility as well. Perhaps the most famous client of Budapest Orpheum was the Archduke Rudolf\, who made frequent trips from Vienna to sample the famous nightlife of Budapest. \n\nThe lecture explores the broader cultural and theoretical implications of Orpheum in the Central European context. It argues that Orpheum challenged the private/public taxonomy of bourgeois ideology and created a new notion of intimacy that was public\, performative and non-domestic. It thus made possible the rise of a uniquely Central European version of bohemia\, which helped transform Jewish artisans into urban consumers and helped create for society at large an alternative to the conformism of middle class cultural life.\n\nMary Gluck is professor of history in the Department of History and Comparative Literature at Brown University. She is an intellectual-cultural historian of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe\, with special expertise in Central Europe and France. She has published extensively on Georg Lukacs\, modernism\, and avant-garde culture and the Jewish Question\, and is the author of Popular Bohemia: Modernism and Urban Culture in Nineteenth-Century Paris (Harvard\, 2005). Her current research focuses on Jewish humor and assimilation in fin-de-siècle Budapest and on bohemias in a global perspective.\n\nCo-sponsors: Avant Garde Interest Group.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Four Decades\, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Pierced Porcelain
DESCRIPTION:In this current body of work\, Kate Tremel is interested in taking a fresh look at traditional pottery forms within a functional context. She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Stitched Impressions: Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Textile artist Carole Harris is a Detroit native. Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Art of Storytelling: Fabric Appliqué
DESCRIPTION:Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work is about the mysterious origin of joy and the wonder of childhood. To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435\nExhibition: October 1-18\, 9am - 6pm\n\nThe exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side\, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing\, swimming\, travelling\, shipping\, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Battling Images: The Arts of the Middle East Uprisings
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christiane Gruber\, Ph.D. Associate Professor\, History of Art\, U of M.\nDuring the recent Middle East uprisings\, images were disseminated through countless venues as demonstrators and others turned to using cameras\, cell phones\, computers\, pens and paints to create visual forms of dissent. The presentation will show how such images functioned as instruments of subversion during the uprisings. It will explore the extent to which such battling images helped contest the status quo\, build group consensus\, and secure both international and local support for the uprisings. Dr. Gruber is currently writing her next book\, “The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Mohammad in Islamic Texts and Images.”

DESCRIPTION:When it comes to the politics of sexuality\, language matters\, and examining queer theory in translation shows just how critical it is. Through close readings of Japanese translations of texts by Eve Sedgwick\, Leo Bersani\, David Halperin and others\, this talk traces the reception of queer theory in Japan and develops a queer theory of translation itself.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nJ. Keith Vincent\, CJS’s 2013-14 Toyota Visiting Professor\, is an Associate Professor of Japanese and Comparative Literature at Boston University. Among his most recent achievements\, Professor Vincent received the 2011 U.S. Japan Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature from the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture for his translation of Okamoto Kanoko’s A Riot of Goldfish (Hesperus Press\, 2010). He also published his book\, Two-Timing Modernity: Homosocial Narrative in Modern Japanese Fiction\, in 2012 from the Harvard University Asia Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Four Decades\, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.\n\nA public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday\, October 13\, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Distinguished Lecture on Europe
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Benton\, professor of history and dean\, Graduate School of Arts and Science\, New York University.\n\nIn recent years\, as international lawyers have debated justifications for humanitarian interventions\, the history of protection has attracted new attention.  Some accounts run from Grotius\, whose arguments about the right to punish violators of natural law are seen as foundational\, to the nineteenth-century campaign against the slave trade and to twentieth-century declarations against genocide. Some accounts highlight the late-nineteenth century imperial origins of protection\, noting that “protected states” and “protectorates” were formally defined in this period in ways that helped to shape a European-dominated international legal order.\n\nConflicts over colonial governance in the early nineteenth century represent important\, and understudied\, contexts for the development of ideas about protection. In the British Empire\, colonial legal reform projects were ubiquitous and influenced the way British authority was constructed\, imagined\, and opposed in newly acquired colonies. The legal politics of Ceylon and the Ionian Islands show that discourses of protection were central both to colonial judicial reform projects and to expansionist schemes for the empire\, supporting a vision of global order centered around imperial law.\n\nLauren Benton is Professor of History\, Affiliate Professor of Law\, and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Science at New York University. Benton’s research focuses on the comparative history of empires and the relation between imperial law and global order. Benton’s books include an edited volume published this year (Lauren Benton and Richard Ross\, Legal Pluralism and Empires\, 1500-1850 and two books on law and empire: A Search for Sovereignty: Law and Geography in European Empires\, 1400-1900 (2010)\; and Law and Colonial Cultures: Legal Regimes in World History\, 1400-1900 (2002)\, which was awarded the World History Association Book Award and the James Willard Hurst Book Prize. Benton is currently working with Lisa Ford on a book about legal politics in the British Empire in the early nineteenth century.\n\nPart of Rethinking Sovereignty\, a multi-disciplinary lecture series that explores the tension between the powers of centralized states in the modern world and their uncertain political and geographical peripheries.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:We are interested in the origins of phenotypic diversity\, and work at the intersection of phylogenetics\, ecology\, and organismal biology to reconstruct the natural history of adaptation. Questions that motivate us include: why have certain traits evolved multiple times in certain lineages but not in others? What are the initial steps in the evolution of a complex trait\, and how do those initial steps influence subsequent evolutionary possibilities? In this talk I'll focus on our recent work in two areas. First\, we will look critically at the evolutionary dynamics of 'leaf economic spectrum' traits within a closely related group of deciduous woody plants\; second\, we'll focus on understanding the partially shared evolutionary trajectories of two alternative and important adaptive syndromes in plants\, C4 and CAM photosynthesis.

DESCRIPTION:Thursdays-Relationship Enhancement Series.  Dealing with difficult people in your life can be extremely stressful. Unfortunately\, few people ever learn the high-level skills needed to manage difficult relationships. This series will help you do just that.\n\nFriends: Finding and Keeping Them.  If you struggle to form connections with new people\, then this session will be helpful to you. We will explore strategies for meeting new people and forming new friendships. Depending on the needs of the participants\, we may also talk about ways to deepen the friendships that you already have.\n\nDates: 9/19\, 10/17\, 11/14\, 12/19\n\n\nEach Thursday from 4:15-5:30 p.m. you and other interested students will meet with a counselor and focus on one of the most frequent concerns of U-M students. These are the very issues that U-M students have told us are the most common issues they deal with every day. The counselor will share some helpful information\, talk about strategies and clinical resources\, and she or he will also make time for you to share a little bit about your concerns (if you wish to do so).\n

SUMMARY:Performance:BoDeans
DESCRIPTION:“I’ve always thought of the BoDeans as a truly American band\,” says Kurt Neumann\, the founder\, primary writer and frontman of the veteran Milwaukee-based group. “We were blue-collar kids straight out of the heartland–how could we be anything else? ”˜Roots rock’ was a label I fought when I was younger\, but I came to realize that if by ”˜roots’ you meant blues\, rock\, country and soul all slammed together into one sound\, then I’d say yes–that is the sound of American-made music.”\n\n\nNeumann fully embraces that notion on American Made\, the BoDeans’ eleventh album. Its dozen songs are laced through with strands of indigenous roots elements–Heartland hoedown folk (“American\,” with guest Jake Owen spinning out the guitar solo)\, Celtic-rooted mountain music (“Walk Through This World\,” “Flyaway”)\, zydeco (“Everything You Wanted”)\, Southern roadhouse soul (“Don’t Bring Me Down”)\, Chicago blues (“Shake the Fever”) and 100-proof roots rock (“All the World”). These tracks are played with heartfelt emotion as well as jaw-dropping skillfulness by the band–Neumann on vocals and guitars\, original member Michael Ramos (Patty Griffin\, John Mellencamp) on keyboards and accordion\, longtime BoDeans bassist Ryan Bowman and new member Warren Hood\, a fiddle/violin virtuoso from Austin.\n\n\nAs it turns out\, the album title bears a thematic resonance as well as a stylistic one. With American Made\, the BoDeans have created a soul-stirring song cycle that directly reflects the American experience at this critical moment in our history. The album–which also includes a powerful rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire”–was inspired by Neumann’s blue-collar upbringing and his desire to express what a great country America remains\, despite its troubles and the challenges facing it today.\n\n\n“As we’ve moved into the new millennium\, we’ve begun to question our identity as Americans–who we are\, or who we want to be\,” says Neumann. “With the onset of the Tea party and the Occupy movement\, it feels like we’re pulling in two very different directions. The song ”˜American’ talks about this land of ”˜endless possibility\,’ and ”˜Where else in the world you ever gonna find this kind of ideology?’ We’re lucky to have the rights and opportunities that we have\, but I believe those rights come with a responsibility to help each other along. It’s wrong to stockpile millions or billions of dollars while all your neighbors struggle to survive. It feels like we’re losing the common sense that has always guided us\, and that worries me. We’re so out of touch with each other–and just trying to find an American-made product has become almost comical. I wanted to bring that all of that to the surface–hence the album title.”\n\n\nIf American Made is about resilience in the face of daunting obstacles\, the same can be said of the unforeseen circumstances that led to the album’s creation. Sam Llanas\, one of the original members\, left the band last year in order to launch a solo career\, the news coming just one day after the release of the band’s previous LP\, Indigo Dreams. When Llanas quit\, Neumann could have thrown in the towel\, but he chose to stick with what he’d begun nearly three decades earlier as the band’s driving force and the architect of its sound. So he and his fellow band members cinched up their belts and carried on. Since then\, Neumann has discovered that while unexpected change can be difficult\, it can also be revitalizing.\n\n\nThe first order of business was to come up with a cohesive batch of material–Neumann didn’t realize going into the process that it would yield what amounted to the most intensely personal songs he’d ever written.\n\n\nOn “Jay Leno\,” Neumann metaphorically invokes the name of the pop-culture figure in recounting a traumatizing childhood experience. “When I was eight years old\, growing up in Milwaukee\, my family and I came home on a frigid February evening to find our back alley lined with police cars\,” he recalls. “Someone had found a young girl’s dead body in the garage next door to my house. Even at a young age\, I’d seen a lot of violence in our lower-income neighborhood\, but this really shook me up\, and my family as well. Soon afterward\, my parents moved me and my brother out to Waukesha\, a small town just 20 miles west of Milwaukee\, but it seemed like a world away from my old neighborhood. I’m not sure why I decided to write a song about it\, but as I worked on it\, I realized that in a sense this girl may have saved my life. People take drastic measures to get out of poverty\, and I’m sure my life would have turned out very differently had we not moved.”\n\n\n“Chemical” was inspired by growing up with an alcoholic father\, and by the many other chemically dependent people in Neumann’s life. “With my dad\, even as a kid I could see the writing on the wall\,” he says. “I used to feel like there was something he was looking for at the bottom of that brandy bottle. At one point\, I called AA trying to find some place I could take him to get help\, but the guy on the other end of the line told me I was a fool for trying. He told me I couldn’t help him\, that he needed to make that call himself. Sure enough\, a few years later\, he dropped dead\; the booze had killed him.”\n\n\nAs for “I’m on Fire\,” Neumann says\, “Springsteen’s lyrics have always spoken to me. I know exactly what he’s talking about–I’ve grown up with the same feelings in my gut. This is one of a handful of his songs that I felt I could even approach. I’ve sung it for years. While we were in the studio\, we blew it down for fun and it just turned out really nice.\n\n\n“On another level\,” he points out\, “the record was inspired by the pop music I listened to on the radio as a kid\, feeling the mesmerizing energy busting out of that tiny speaker. As always\, I’ve tried to tap into that energy in my songwriting.”\n\n\nWhen he’d completed the new material\, Neumann called on John Alagia (Dave Matthews\, John Mayer\, Jason Mraz\, Ben Folds) to produce and mix the record\, with the exception of “Jay Leno\,” which was mixed by Jim Scott (Wilco\, Tom Petty)\, who’d worked with the band in the mid-’90s. Determined to make the best possible album no matter the cost\, Neumann sold his truck\, one of his most treasured possessions\, in order to cover the cost of recording at L.A.’s state-of-the-art Village Recorder\, where the band had worked in years past with T Bone Burnett. Alagia brought in Victor Indrizzo (Beck\, Sheryl Crow) to play drums. They tracked the entire album in just three days.\n\n\nThanks to Neumann’s renewed passion and determination\, the BoDeans are still going strong a quarter century after their Burnett-produced debut Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams led them to win a Rolling Stone readers’ poll as “Best New American Band\,” and nearly 20 years after their “Closer to Free” became a massive hit and the theme song of the sitcom Party of Five. The BoDeans continue to tour the U.S. year-round\, exposing the kids of their longtime steadfast fans to heartfelt\, trend-free\, American-made music.\n\n\nBut things could’ve turned out very differently. Neumann acknowledges that Llanas’ abrupt departure had triggered an intensive and extended bout of soul searching\, causing him to question the basic assumptions he’d carried with him through the life of his band.\n\n\n“In my frustration\, I asked myself\, What is BoDeans?” he says. “Is it me\, or someone else\, or the music. I thought about all the letters people have written me over the years explaining how our music had played an intimate role in some part of their lives–a wedding\, a death\, a celebration\, growing up\, growing old. And I came to the realization that the key to the BoDeans’ identity is the fans’ connection to our music. So the inspiration for this record is just that–to carry on with what I started many\, many years ago\, and to do it for as long as people continue to feel that connection. That’s why I’m so excited about this record. I’ve been humbled by the notion that the fans have given me the chance to go on.”
