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:“And it was just right”: Food and cooking in children’s literature
DESCRIPTION:These folk tales\, adventure stories\, cookbooks\, advertising pamphlets\, and didactic novels from the U-M Library's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and Children’s Literature Collection use images and descriptions of food to amuse\, instruct\, admonish\, reassure\, tempt\, warn\, and raise that  “eew-gross”  reaction so loved by children of a certain age.\n\nStories for children are full of food\, from Little Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies to Harry Potter’s earwax-flavored jelly beans. Since at least the mid-19th century children have been a distinct audience for cookbooks and other food-related publications. This exhibit brings together materials from two fascinating strengths of the library: Children’s Literature and American Culinary History. Come and explore the roles food plays in children’s literature\, and the ways books on food address children.\n\nExhibit curated by William Gosling\, University Librarian Emeritus\, and JJ Jacobson\, curator of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, from items in the Special Collections Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny 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.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Orpheum Bell and Jonas Friddle & the Majority
DESCRIPTION:The Midwest is where the action is in roots music these days\, and tonight's show is a good place to get a taste of the scene. Jonas Friddle & The Majority arrived on the scene with a bang: they simultaneously debuted two records on March 24\, 2012. “Belle De Louisville” and “Synco Pony” showcased this seven-piece band's ability to pull from both the string band and blues traditions of American roots music.The Chicago-based orchestral folk group comprises a string section\, brass\, organ\, banjo\, and drums. Each member of the Majority boasts a strong personal music career with close ties to Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music\, where the band formed. Ann Arbor's own Orpheum Bell came together as its members were combing through country and folk rhythms\, instrumental waltzes\, and Gypsy melodies. The band's quiet sound is focused on vocals\, accordion\, guitar\, and double bass\, with additional texture and luster spreading from banjo\, trumpet\, xylophone\, shepherd harp\, musical saw\, pedal steel\, a suitcase pump organ\, cittern\, dobro\, foot percussion\, and various ukuleles and mechanical horned violins. Everything is done with care\, and this is a band whose handmade album covers are worth the price of concert admission all by themselves. Turning half-forgotten musical styles into something absolutely modern\, gripping\, and often hypnotic\, Orpheum Bell has created something new and different in Michigan music–and American music.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Back Home in Earth’s Garden: Clay & Fibers
DESCRIPTION:Susan Sutherland Barnes has been exploring patterns in nature and the combining of clay and fibers for over thirty years. Her early background\, in painting and printmaking and later a BFA in fibers from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame\, Indiana\, has fostered a unique perspective on working with clay. In this recent body of work\, she continues to follow her interest in the leaf as an iconic motif and incorporates these explorations in a new group of pieces combining round reed basketry and stoneware. Sutherland Barnes recently returned to her home state of Michigan after twenty years away and now maintains a clay and fibers studio in Paw Paw\, Michigan.

She finds her garden the perfect place to experience the natural world on a daily basis and believes that a connection with this world is critically important in our urban lives. She creates a surreal visual world based upon an exploration of light\, color\, texture and scale. These superbly sharp and sensuously soft images challenge us to reimagine our natural world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

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 Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

DESCRIPTION:These folk tales\, adventure stories\, cookbooks\, advertising pamphlets\, and didactic novels from the U-M Library's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and Children’s Literature Collection use images and descriptions of food to amuse\, instruct\, admonish\, reassure\, tempt\, warn\, and raise that  “eew-gross”  reaction so loved by children of a certain age.\n\nStories for children are full of food\, from Little Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies to Harry Potter’s earwax-flavored jelly beans. Since at least the mid-19th century children have been a distinct audience for cookbooks and other food-related publications. This exhibit brings together materials from two fascinating strengths of the library: Children’s Literature and American Culinary History. Come and explore the roles food plays in children’s literature\, and the ways books on food address children.\n\nExhibit curated by William Gosling\, University Librarian Emeritus\, and JJ Jacobson\, curator of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, from items in the Special Collections Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:On the Future of the Economics Blogosphere
DESCRIPTION:Miles Kimball\, professor in the Department of Economics\, speaks on the future of the economics blogosphere.\n\nAbstract: The economics blogosphere is already vibrant\, brimming with intellectual energy. The obvious next phase of its development is for more and more of the most academically respected economists to engage in blogging as the respectability of blogging grows in a virtuous cycle. Historically\, the interesting thing is that this will constitute a full-scale revival of the literary economics that prevailed before the mathematization of economics in the early 20th century – this time\, alongside mathematized economics. That emerging two-barrel\, balanced approach to economics through both math and accessible writing in counterpoint is an important development that will make economics both more powerful at getting to the truth and more powerful as a social force.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny 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.\"

DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

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 Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny 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.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

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 Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“And it was just right”: Food and cooking in children’s literature
DESCRIPTION:These folk tales\, adventure stories\, cookbooks\, advertising pamphlets\, and didactic novels from the U-M Library's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and Children’s Literature Collection use images and descriptions of food to amuse\, instruct\, admonish\, reassure\, tempt\, warn\, and raise that  “eew-gross”  reaction so loved by children of a certain age.\n\nStories for children are full of food\, from Little Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies to Harry Potter’s earwax-flavored jelly beans. Since at least the mid-19th century children have been a distinct audience for cookbooks and other food-related publications. This exhibit brings together materials from two fascinating strengths of the library: Children’s Literature and American Culinary History. Come and explore the roles food plays in children’s literature\, and the ways books on food address children.\n\nExhibit curated by William Gosling\, University Librarian Emeritus\, and JJ Jacobson\, curator of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, from items in the Special Collections Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CBSSM Seminar: Raymond De Vries\, PhD (December 18th)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next CBSSM Fall 2013 seminar:\n\n\"Ethics and information\; the ethics of information\"\n\nRaymond De Vries\, PhD\nDecember 18\, 2013\n3:00-4:00 pm\nLocation\nRoom 266C\, Building 16\nNorth Campus Research Complex (NCRC)\n2800 Plymouth Road\n\nSummary: Bioethical advice requires more than philosophical reasoning\; indeed such advice is typically based on the weighing of scientific information about the consequences of different care paths.  But as sociologists of science have shown\, science is a social product. As such it is  subject to the influence of  the organizations that fund and publish research\, one's professional commitments\, and broader cultural ideas.  Good ethics requires a more thoughtful approach to how information is produced.  I will illustrate the danger of uncritical use of information by examining the ongoing controversy about birth place safety\, using examples from the Netherlands and the United States. \n\nDr. De Vries is Professor\, Department of Medical Education and\nDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology\, University of Michigan\; and Midwifery Science\, Academie Verloskunde Maastricht/Zuyd University\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Bedross Der Matossian\, assistant professor of history\, University of Nebraska–Lincoln.\n\nThe lecture deals with the ways in which the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 led to changes in the dynamics of power among non-Muslim religious communities of the Ottoman Empire. It will demonstrate the ways in which the revolution influenced ecclesiastic politics in Istanbul\, Mount Lebanon\, and Jerusalem. What was the impact of the revolution on the non-Muslim communities? How and why did these ethno- religious communities internalize the revolution? Why was the revolution more successful in creating new orders among certain ethno-religious groups? Why was the attempt unsuccessful among other groups? The cases of Istanbul (Armenians and Jews)\, Mount Lebanon (Maronite Church)\, and Jerusalem (Greeks\, Armenians\, and Jews) provide good examples of how the revolution shook the traditional foundations of these ecclesiastic powers.  The lecture contends that post-revolutionary ethnic politics in the Ottoman Empire should not be viewed from the prism of political parties alone\, but rather through ecclesiastic politics\, which was a key factor in defining inter- and intra-ethnic politics. Interestingly\, despite the fact that the revolution aimed at creating a modern secular Ottoman citizen whose loyalty was to the state\, it nevertheless strengthened the ethno-religious political centers of the ethnic groups.

SUMMARY:Performance:Delbert McClinton
DESCRIPTION:Delbert McClinton grew up singing and playing in the gutbucket clubs of Fort Worth\, and in a sense he's never left. He still has a voice that will roar through the noise of a barroom or through any kind of mental clutter you might bring to one of his concerts. Delbert and his band backed the absolute royalty of deep blues as they came through town–Jimmy Reed\, Sonny Boy Williamson\, Bobby \"Blue\" Bland\, and the incomparable Howlin' Wolf–and all that he saw and heard\, he absorbed and passes along in his own music. (He gave John Lennon some pointers on the harmonica\, to boot.) Delbert hasn't slowed down a bit! He's still offering raw\, passionate American honky-tonk singing at its best. Delbert's December shows have become something of an Ark tradition\, so don't delay on getting tickets! He comes to Michigan with a new release with Glen Clark\, \"Blind Crippled and Crazy.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Back Home in Earth’s Garden: Clay & Fibers
DESCRIPTION:Susan Sutherland Barnes has been exploring patterns in nature and the combining of clay and fibers for over thirty years. Her early background\, in painting and printmaking and later a BFA in fibers from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame\, Indiana\, has fostered a unique perspective on working with clay. In this recent body of work\, she continues to follow her interest in the leaf as an iconic motif and incorporates these explorations in a new group of pieces combining round reed basketry and stoneware. Sutherland Barnes recently returned to her home state of Michigan after twenty years away and now maintains a clay and fibers studio in Paw Paw\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

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 Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“And it was just right”: Food and cooking in children’s literature
DESCRIPTION:These folk tales\, adventure stories\, cookbooks\, advertising pamphlets\, and didactic novels from the U-M Library's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and Children’s Literature Collection use images and descriptions of food to amuse\, instruct\, admonish\, reassure\, tempt\, warn\, and raise that  “eew-gross”  reaction so loved by children of a certain age.\n\nStories for children are full of food\, from Little Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies to Harry Potter’s earwax-flavored jelly beans. Since at least the mid-19th century children have been a distinct audience for cookbooks and other food-related publications. This exhibit brings together materials from two fascinating strengths of the library: Children’s Literature and American Culinary History. Come and explore the roles food plays in children’s literature\, and the ways books on food address children.\n\nExhibit curated by William Gosling\, University Librarian Emeritus\, and JJ Jacobson\, curator of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, from items in the Special Collections Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny 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.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

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 Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“And it was just right”: Food and cooking in children’s literature
DESCRIPTION:These folk tales\, adventure stories\, cookbooks\, advertising pamphlets\, and didactic novels from the U-M Library's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and Children’s Literature Collection use images and descriptions of food to amuse\, instruct\, admonish\, reassure\, tempt\, warn\, and raise that  “eew-gross”  reaction so loved by children of a certain age.\n\nStories for children are full of food\, from Little Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies to Harry Potter’s earwax-flavored jelly beans. Since at least the mid-19th century children have been a distinct audience for cookbooks and other food-related publications. This exhibit brings together materials from two fascinating strengths of the library: Children’s Literature and American Culinary History. Come and explore the roles food plays in children’s literature\, and the ways books on food address children.\n\nExhibit curated by William Gosling\, University Librarian Emeritus\, and JJ Jacobson\, curator of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, from items in the Special Collections Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny 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.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

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:“And it was just right”: Food and cooking in children’s literature
DESCRIPTION:These folk tales\, adventure stories\, cookbooks\, advertising pamphlets\, and didactic novels from the U-M Library's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and Children’s Literature Collection use images and descriptions of food to amuse\, instruct\, admonish\, reassure\, tempt\, warn\, and raise that  “eew-gross”  reaction so loved by children of a certain age.\n\nStories for children are full of food\, from Little Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies to Harry Potter’s earwax-flavored jelly beans. Since at least the mid-19th century children have been a distinct audience for cookbooks and other food-related publications. This exhibit brings together materials from two fascinating strengths of the library: Children’s Literature and American Culinary History. Come and explore the roles food plays in children’s literature\, and the ways books on food address children.\n\nExhibit curated by William Gosling\, University Librarian Emeritus\, and JJ Jacobson\, curator of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, from items in the Special Collections Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny 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.\"
