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.

In this body of work\, poodles are represented in various dilemmas of life. The functional white ware is lighthearted\, so simple tasks such as eating and drinking can become playful. Each piece is individually handcrafted with feedback from her standard parti (two-colored) poodle\, who loves to crack a joke. Blackburn earned a BFA from Ohio State University\, and her studio is Grins Clay.

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.

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.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193661@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131111T170949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131124T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131124T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity DESCRIPTION:Artrain\, Inc. and Arts at Michigan are pleased to present Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity\, a rich\, reflective exhibition of works by 39 artists representing the vast cultural blend of modern American society. \n\nPublic Reception - Tuesday\, November 12\, at 5:00 p.m. followed by a\nPenny W.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193662@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131111T170949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131125T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131125T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity DESCRIPTION:Artrain\, Inc. and Arts at Michigan are pleased to present Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity\, a rich\, reflective exhibition of works by 39 artists representing the vast cultural blend of modern American society. \n\nPublic Reception - Tuesday\, November 12\, at 5:00 p.m. followed by a\nPenny W.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193663@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131111T170949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131126T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131126T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity DESCRIPTION:Artrain\, Inc. and Arts at Michigan are pleased to present Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity\, a rich\, reflective exhibition of works by 39 artists representing the vast cultural blend of modern American society. \n\nPublic Reception - Tuesday\, November 12\, at 5:00 p.m. followed by a\nPenny W.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193664@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131111T170949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131127T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131127T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity DESCRIPTION:Artrain\, Inc. and Arts at Michigan are pleased to present Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity\, a rich\, reflective exhibition of works by 39 artists representing the vast cultural blend of modern American society. \n\nPublic Reception - Tuesday\, November 12\, at 5:00 p.m. followed by a\nPenny W.

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.

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.

In this body of work\, poodles are represented in various dilemmas of life. The functional white ware is lighthearted\, so simple tasks such as eating and drinking can become playful. Each piece is individually handcrafted with feedback from her standard parti (two-colored) poodle\, who loves to crack a joke. Blackburn earned a BFA from Ohio State University\, and her studio is Grins Clay.

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.

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.

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.

Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193666@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131111T170949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131129T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131129T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity DESCRIPTION:Artrain\, Inc. and Arts at Michigan are pleased to present Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity\, a rich\, reflective exhibition of works by 39 artists representing the vast cultural blend of modern American society. \n\nPublic Reception - Tuesday\, November 12\, at 5:00 p.m. followed by a\nPenny W.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193667@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131111T170949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131130T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131130T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity DESCRIPTION:Artrain\, Inc. and Arts at Michigan are pleased to present Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity\, a rich\, reflective exhibition of works by 39 artists representing the vast cultural blend of modern American society. \n\nPublic Reception - Tuesday\, November 12\, at 5:00 p.m. followed by a\nPenny W.
