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: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:Performance:From Lake to Sea: U-M Life Sciences Orchestra concert
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Life Sciences Orchestra will take its audience on a musical journey across the waves\, with a free concert on Sunday\, January 19\, 2014. \n\nThe performance will begin at 4 p.m. at U-M’s famed Hill Auditorium at 825 N. University Ave. in Ann Arbor. It is open to the public with general admission seating. No tickets are required. A pre-concert lecture will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the lower level of the building.\n\nThe LSO -- made up of doctors\, scientists and others -- will include three works linked by water: Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D major\, Op. 73\, Felix Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage\, and Claude Debussy’s La Mer. \n\nBrahms composed the symphony on the shores of an Austrian lake called the Worthersee\, and the pastoral mood evokes the peaceful waters and surroundings. The symphony includes the melody now known as “Brahms’ Lullaby”. \n\nMendelssohn’s nautical-themed overture was inspired by seafaring poems of Goethe\, while Debussy’s collection of three symphonic sketches call on the orchestra to illustrate the leaping waves and swirling winds of the ocean.\n\nThe LSO will be led by music director Adrian Slywotzky\, a graduate student in the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance’s nationally known orchestral conducting program. Slywotzky comes to the LSO from another ensemble made up of medical and science professionals and students: the Yale Medical Symphony Orchestra. \n\nThe LSO and YMSO are part of a growing trend of orchestras around the nation formed by amateur musicians who work at major academic medical centers. Others include the Detroit Medical Orchestra\, the Duke Medicine Orchestra\, the Texas Medical Orchestra in Houston\, the Central Texas Medical Orchestra in Austin\, the Health Sciences Center Orchestra of the University of New Mexico\, and the Longwood Symphony Orchestra in Boston. \n\nThis is the first concert of the LSO’s 14th season\; it will be introduced by Lester Monts\, Ph.D.\, U-M Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Professor of Music.\nThe next LSO concert will be Sunday\, April 27\, also at 4 p.m. at Hill Auditorium. \n\nThe LSO is made up of medical\, health and science faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from throughout U-M. The orchestra is part of the Gifts of Art program\, which brings the world of art and music to the U-M Health System. The LSO gives members an outlet for their musical talents and a chance to interact with one another across academic disciplines and professions. Founded by students and staff from the U-M Health System\, the orchestra made its concert debut in January 2001. \n\nFor more information on the concert or the LSO\, visit www.umich.edu/~lsorch or www.facebook.com/umlso\, send e-mail to orchestra@umich.edu\, or call (734) 936-ARTS.\n\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Peter Bradley Adams
DESCRIPTION:Peter Bradley Adams began his musical journey in Birmingham\, Alabama\, at age five\, when he discovered the Beatles' \"Sgt. Pepper: album in his father’s record collection. After wearing the record out on his aqua green playschool record player\, Peter went on to create his own house music\, setting up plastic trash cans and using pencils as drumsticks. Eventually his grandfather purchased real drum sticks to replace the pencils and a true musician was born. The grandfather had been a jazz clarinetist in big bands during the time of Benny Goodman and Pete Fountain. Peter remembers lying under his grandfather’s piano listening to him play. \nPeter went on to earn a B.A. and Master's Degree in composition and eventually wound up in Los Angeles\, where he worked as a freelance film and TV composer. In 2000\, he co-founded the duo Eastmountainsouth\, and in 2002 they were signed by Robbie Robertson (of The Band) to DreamWorks Records. Now based in Nashville\, he has since released four solo albums. When asked about the progression from his first release\, \"Gather Up\,\" to the current \"Between Us\,\" he says\, \"I think I've been progressively finding my voice\, both as a songwriter and a singer\; and although I feel like I'm finally starting to hit my stride\, there's still this continual dissatisfaction ... still a feeling that I haven't found it yet.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\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 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: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

DESCRIPTION:This class meets Mondays\, January 20 - February 24.\n\n\nThis class is a continuation of Part 1\, but if you did not participate in Part 1 you are welcome to join. We will explore myth by blending the insights of two scholars: anthropologist Joseph Campbell and Latin and Greek expert Elizabeth Vandiver. Mr. Campbell views myth from the perspective of anthropology\, psychology and comparative mythology\, while Ms. Vandiver discusses myth in terms of the lore of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. By studying their ideas\, we can learn how myths impact our lives. Dr. Galant studied classical Greek and Latin for many years and continues to be fascinated by Greek and Roman history and culture.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Seminar Series - Special Day
DESCRIPTION:Climate change and human-aided introductions are rapidly altering the ranges of most organisms\, and novel trophic interactions have developed between organisms that previously did not co-occur. I explored novel interactions between native herbivores and non-native plants in order to understand the mechanisms that underlie novel host use and to build predictive models that anticipate novel food webs. I found that different herbivores responded to different non-native plant traits\, but that phylogenetic similarity between the novel host and a local native host was typically a good predictor of host-use. Using information about native food webs and plant phylogeny\, I was able to accurately predict the moth and butterfly communities on non-native plants introduced to central Europe. At a broad scale\, novel herbivore-plant interactions are predictable based on plant relationships and traits\, even though the mechanisms governing each interaction may differ

SUMMARY:Performance:John Wort Hannam
DESCRIPTION:“You’re dead a long time” says John Wort Hannam’s mantra\, “so you better get out there and play.” John Wort Hannam’s \"winsome\, lonesome\, and then some\" style of acoustic roots music is a fusion of lyrically driven songs and soaring melodies. His lyrics reveal a woven textile of metaphor\, phrasing\, irony\, and rhyme that reads with ease like well-written prose. John is one of the new torch-bearers of a vast songwriting tradition in the styles of John Prine\, Loudon Wainwright III\, and Steve Earle. With a stage presence made up of a cutting sense of humour\, a pinch of cynicism\, and a genuine graciousness at being invited to perform\, John Wort Hannam is sure to satisfy the roots music ache in your belly. John has released five albums and captured a host of awards in Canada\, and it's time to let the secret out.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

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: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:The Archaeology of Jerusalem: Filling the Space Between Nationalism\, Religion and Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Jerusalem is a central place for three world religions\, Judaism\, Christianity and Islam\, and since the middle of the 19th century no other city on earth has been explored more thoroughly by scientific (and other forms of) archaeology. But disagreements have only intensified along with investigation.\n\nUnlike any other city\, Jerusalem’s archaeology goes off in many directions\, not only down and to the sides\, but up to the heavens above and around the world. This paper explores how scholarly\, nationalist\, religious and commercial agendas intersect and compete on rocky ground that is uniquely fixed in the gaze of peoples worldwide.

SUMMARY:Performance:Masterclass:  Han Bennink\, jazz percussion
DESCRIPTION:with Mary Olson\, violin/viola.      In Holland in the 1960s\, Bennink was quickly recognized as an uncommonly versatile drummer. As a hard swinger in the tradition of his hero Kenny Clarke\, he accompanied touring American jazz stars\, including Sonny Rollins\, Ben Webster\, Wes Montgomery\, Johnny Griffin\, Eric Dolphy and Dexter Gordon. Bennink attended art school in the 1960s\, and is also a successful visual artist in several media\, often constructing sculpture from found objects\, which may include broken drum heads and sticks.  A conspicuous feature of Bennink\&##39\;s musical life since the 1960s is the spontaneous duo concert with musicians of many nationalities and musical inclinations.    Mary Oliver’s work as a soloist encompasses both composed and improvised contemporary music. As a soloist and ensemble player\, she has performed in numerous international festivals. For the past twelve years\, she has been based in Amsterdam where she has worked locally and internationally with various ensembles.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

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: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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series: Performance Presentation in Korean Poetry: \"The Sijo\"
DESCRIPTION:The performance dimensions of Korea’s culture have become more and more recognized around the world these days.  Psy and his Gangnam Style is but one example\, though an amazing one.  \n\nKorean poetry has also been a part of a performance tradition in Korea\, though perhaps because of the language barrier and the challenges of translation\, Korean poems and poets\, classical\, modern\, and contemporary\, are not yet so widely recognized.  No Nobel Prize in Literature for a Korean author–yet.\n\nMost everyone knows a haiku when they see one\, but its Korean counterpart\, the sijo\, is not well known.  Yet the sijo has a long and fascinating history\, a remarkable range of texts\, and a dynamic performance tradition worth knowing better\, and for the brave or for the young\, worth a try in English.\n\nDavid McCann has translated sijo\, and a few years ago\, following his own example in his class on Writing Asian Poetry\, began writing it in English.  A book of his sijo poems\, Urban Temple\, was published in English in 2010\, and in a dual-language\, Korean and English edition in Korea in 2013.  He will introduce the form\, its history and a few exemplary texts\, try out some of his own sijo poems with the audience\, and make some time available for writing a sijo\, for those bold enough to try.\n\nDavid McCann is Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Literature in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. His several prizes\, grants\, and fellowships include the Cultural Order of Merit awarded by the Korean government\, the Manhae Prize in Arts and Sciences\, the Daesan Foundation Translation Grant\, and the Korea P.E.N. Center Translation Prize. His books include Azaleas\, a book of poems by Kim Sowôl\, Traveler Maps: Poems by Ko Un\, The Columbia Anthology of Modern Korean Poetry\, Early Korean Literature: Selections and Introductions\, War and Democracy: A Comparative Study of the Korean War and the Peloponnesian War (with Barry S. Strauss) and The Classical Moment: Views from Seven Literatures (with Gail H. Warhaft).  His poems have been published in Poetry\, Salamander\, Runes\, Café Review\, Off the Coast\, and other journals.  His poem “David” was included in the Pushcart Prize Anthology III.  His recent books of poems include a chapbook\, Cat Bird Tree (Pudding House Publications\, 2004)\, The Way I Wait For You (Codhill Press\, 2007)\, and a collection of poems in the sijo form\, Urban Temple (Bo Leaf Books\, 2010) with a Korean-English edition from Changbi Publishers in 2012.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The War on Poverty: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Martin Luther King’s final book\, \"Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community\" articulated a critique of the War on Poverty and related programs. Pointing to the inadequacy of funding and the lack of coordination among federal programs aimed at eradicating poverty\, he argued for guaranteed income for all Americans. \n\nOn this 50th anniversary of the War on Poverty\, we revisit this program and its impact in the context of King’s argument. \n\nThe panel includes Martha Bailey (Economics)-- the history of the War on Poverty\, Robert Mickey (Political Science)--the legislation from the perspective of race\, Mary Corcoran (Political Science\, Public Policy) -- gender and poverty\, and Laura Lein (Social Work\, Anthropology)--the effects of welfare reform on women in poverty. Deborah Keller-Cohen (Linguistics\, Women’s Studies) will moderate.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Truth V. Truthiness
DESCRIPTION:Join Jessie Daniels of CUNY as she discusses internet propaganda.\n\nThe Internet enables new strategies for propaganda that are simultaneously deceptive\, difficult to detect and potentially effective at eroding the foundation of progressive political action. In this talk\, Daniels provides a tour of cloaked sites\, which disguise a range of political agendas\, from the white supremacists owned URL MartinLutherKing dot org\, to Teen Breaks dot com to exhort young women about the dangers of so-called “post –abortion syndrome\,” a pro-life rhetorical strategy disguised as a medical diagnosis\, coal industry sites like Americans for Balanced Energy Choices which challenge facts of global warming. Daniels connects these digital era examples of propaganda on the popular Internet to political satire such as Stephen Colbert’s arch-conservative character to argue that we are at an epistemological crossroads between “truth\,” and “truthiness” that raises important political questions about social justice.\n\nPart of the Feminist Digital Pedagogies series.\n#FemTechNet\n\nSponsored by Digital Studies at the University of Michigan\, The Department of American Culture\, the Institute for Research on Women & Gender\, and the Cohn Fund in the Department of Screen Arts and Culture.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Honeycutters
DESCRIPTION:The Honeycutters are an original country roots band from Asheville\, North Carolina. Since 2007\, when the group formed\, they have been playing music that is consistently as catchy as it is heartfelt. Organically grown around the songs of lead singer Amanda Anne Platt\, the band has gained an audience that has stretched far beyond their mountain home to include all corners of the United States. Platt's voice has been described as “perfectly unadorned” and “recklessly beautiful.\" Despite her love for classic country\, she cites Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty as major influences and her songwriting carries a wit and an edge that plants her firmly in her generation. Since the release of their first studio album in 2009\, The Honeycutters have shared the stage with such Americana greats as Guy Clark\, Tony Rice\, The Seldom Scene\, Ray Wylie Hubbard\, Donna The Buffalo\, Jill Andrews\, and The Steep Canyon Rangers. \"I can see a day when her name is mentioned alongside Lucinda Williams\, Mary Gauthier and Gillian Welch\,\" says The Real Southern of Platt's songs. \"She’s just that good.”\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

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: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:CJS Noon Lecture Series - Kyomai and Postwar Japan: Construction of Cultural Memory in Kyoto
DESCRIPTION:“Kyōmai” literally means \"dance of Kyoto\"--the Japanese city known for its cultural tourism. The word “kyōmai” was invented a century after the dance was created\, and was popularized after World War II mainly through the Japanese policy on cultural preservation.   What have people seen and felt in the word\, “kyōmai”? Its popularization was deeply related to the image of Kyoto\, which has been cultivated as an ancient capital. It is also directly connected with Japan’s postwar self-portrait as a country with a long history. I will examine the association between the dance and Japanese identity\, as constructed after 1945.\n\nMariko Okada is currently CJS’s Visiting Scholar and was the 2012-13 Toyota Professor in Residence. She received her Ph.D. from Waseda University in 2011. She won the Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities for her book\, The Birth of Kyōmai: Inoue-ryu Dance in Nineteenth-Century Kyoto\, Japan\, (Shibunkaku Shuppan\, 2013).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Traditional Jewish Sexual Guidance Through History
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture we will explore some examples of Jewish guides to marital sexuality from various periods. Among other questions\, we will ask what type of written guidance on the marital act was available to Jewish readers through the generations? Did the available guidance regarding the sexual act differ from one generation to the next? If so\, how did the historical and cultural context of each generation impact the prescribed rules of sexual conduct? And can we deduce anything from these texts regarding actual behavior in Jewish bedrooms?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Can a Plantation Be Fair? Fair Trade and Darjeeling Tea Production
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Besky\, author of The Darjeeling Distinction\, explores the frictions between fair trade and the plantation system and highlights how\, in India\, fair trade undermines existing state welfare structures.\n\nFair trade\, organic\, shade grown – on a trip to the supermarket\, these labels guide our purchasing and attest to the conditions of production of the products they adorn\; conditions that we believe are better as the result of our purchases. “Fair trade plantation” may seem like an oxymoron\, as plantation workers are not cooperative farmers – they are industrial laborers who have little capacity to make democratic decisions in the face of the plantation’s structural oppression. In the late 1990s\, however\, tea plantations in Darjeeling\, high up in the Himalayan foothills of Northeast India\, became the first plantations in the world to receive fair trade certification. Hope was high among certifying agencies that fair trade would alleviate the inequities of tea production. Despite these hopes\, the region’s plantation laborers\, who produce some of the world’s most expensive tea\, remain some of the tea industry’s worst paid workers.\n\nBook sales provided by Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tea Room.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe
DESCRIPTION:Mustafa Aksakal\, associate professor of history\, Georgetown University\n\nThe Dutch scholar Snouck Hurgronje famously characterized the Ottoman declaration of jihad against the Entente in November 1914 as a “holy war made in Germany.” Was the jihad declaration really cooked up in Berlin? Did it result from the wishes of the German emperor\, Kaiser Hajji Muhammad Wilhelm II\, as Entente critics sometimes referred to him? This talk explores the Ottoman origins of the 1914 declaration.\n\nWorld War I was a major turning point in world history that brought Europe’s long nineteenth century to a close and ushered in the conflicts of the twentieth century. Beginning in 2014\, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia is sponsoring a series of programs–WWI 1914-2014: Reflecting on the 100th Anniversary of WWI–that examine the many ways that WWI changed Europe’s place in the world.\n\nSponsors: CES\, Center for Middle Eastern & North African Studies

Many envisioning digital “reform” in higher education hope to overturn existing practices and values and to ascend to a realm of pure content delivery unfettered by the petty demands of the material and embodied world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar
DESCRIPTION:A fundamental theme in ecology aims to elucidate the mechanisms promoting species persistence. Species are respondent to environmental and anthropogenic perturbations\, and have trophic dependences that cascade through ecosystems. Thus\, the ecological communities that form exhibit spatial and temporal heterogeneity. The principle goal of my research program is to evaluate the biogeography of ecological communities by examining three leading questions in vertebrate systems. 1) What abiotic and biotic factors delimit species ranges including those of conservation and human concern? 2) How are species interactions distributed across scales? 3) What are the consequences of extirpations (or expansions) on communities? I employ a variety of tools at macroecological scales and finer resolutions that integrate biogeography\, community and trophic ecology\, parasitology\, and animal behaviour to answer these questions. In my seminar\, I will discuss a diverse portfolio of research projects that include: island foxes and black-footed ferrets in North America\, lemurs in Madagascar\, and small mammals in Ghana. My program will continue to advance our understanding of species interactions and their shifting dynamics under future global change scenarios. Ultimately\, discerning the plasticity of ecological associations is necessary to inform the vulnerability of species to external threats\, and identify integral processes that promote biodiversity and community viability.

SUMMARY:Other:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION: Michael Graves began his career in the 1960s as a creator of private houses in the abstract and austere style of orthodox Modernism\, his compositions influenced by the work of Le Corbusier. In the late 1970s\, however\, Graves began to reject the bare and unadorned Modernist idiom as too cool and abstract\, and he began seeking a richer architectural vocabulary that would be more accessible to the public. He soon drew remarkable attention with his designs for several large public buildings in the early 1980s. The Portland Public Service Building (usually called the Portland Building) in Portland\, Ore. (1980)\, and the Humana Building in Louisville\, Ky. (1982)\, were notable for their hulking masses and for Graves’s highly personal\, Cubist interpretations of such classical elements as colonnades and loggias. Though somewhat awkward\, these and other of Graves’s later buildings were acclaimed for their powerful and energetic presence.\n\nBy the mid-1980s Graves had emerged as arguably the most original and popular figure working in the postmodernist idiom. He executed architectural and design commissions for clients around the world. In the early 1980s he created a playful and iconic teakettle (as well as a number of additional products) for the Alessi design firm\, and he later created a line of household items\, including kitchenware and furniture\, for the discount retailer Target.\n\nAmong his later large-scale projects were the restoration of the Washington Monument (2000) and the expansion of the Detroit Institute of Arts (completed 2007). In 2001 Graves was awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal (AIA) for lifetime achievement.

SUMMARY:Performance:S is for Screendance (and Shakespeare\, Strauss\, Stravinsky...)
DESCRIPTION:New and Recent Screendances by Peter Sparling  Special guests: RusCa Piano Duo: Ilya Blinov and Christian Matijas-Mecca- Pianos\, Ralph Williams\, and Vince Castagnacci    Thurnau Professor of Dance Peter Sparling presents four new and recent screendances\, works featuring his own dance performance for the camera and edited specifically for the screen. Joining him on screen and for live performance are Ralph Williams\, UM Prof. of English\, Christian Matijas-Mecca\, UM Prof. of Dance and pianist Ilya Blinov\, Susquehanna University.  Inspired by the poetry of T. S. Eliot and Shakespeare and the music of Richard Strauss\, Benjamin Britten and Igor Stravinsky\, the works represent a culmination of Sparling’s 40-year career as dancer/choreographer and more recent transition from stage to screen.     He Was Locked in a Race Against Time takes a radical departure from the over 200 dance productions created to Stravinsky’s monumental 1913 score\, Le Sacre de Printemps. Sparling’s screendance features Stravinsky’s original arrangement for piano four-hands\, performed by Christian Matijas-Mecca and Ilya Blinov. Their performance provides an intimate scale\, a striking counterpoint to the rhythms of the movement and editing\, and a nod to the tradition of keyboard music accompaniment for silent film. Sparling’s work tracks a man’s turbulent\, soulful journey across four lives\, and through four distinct landscapes that are both inner and outer. Day Tripper finds him rising fitfully from his rocking chair to stumble through his suburban neighborhood as if negotiating a confused daydream. In Uncommon Night\, he dances spellbound under a full moon. Priest’s Dance reveals a turbulent soul just beneath a monk’s somber composure. Bedlam\, shot in the empty\, decrepit Traverse City State Mental Hospital\, evokes the final undoing of a lost man.     Last Man at Willow Run is an elegiac tone poem for the post-industrial age\, shot in the Willow Run Bomber Plant in Ypsilanti\, Michigan just months before its demolition. A lone figure (Sparling) maps the cavernous spaces of the abandoned plant with his dancing body. The camera charts his progress down mile-long corridors\, as he wrestles with forgotten spirits and is cloned into assembly lines of workers past. Set to Richard Strauss\&##39\;s dramatic orchestral score\, Death and Transfiguration\, the work has a tragic\, ironic edge while serving as an epic-scale memorial.    In The Death of St. Narcissus\, Sparling splits his screen persona between that of narrator and Narcissus in this danced dramatization of T.S. Eliot’s vivid\, homoerotic mash-up of a St. Sebastian-like martyr and the doomed figure from Greek mythology. Shot against greenscreen\, the work features paintings of Elyse Radenovic as sets and backdrops and the voice of tenor Nicholas Phan performing Benjamin Britten’s haunting setting of the Eliot poem.     Ralph Williams\, beloved UM professor and renowned scholar\, is the inspiration for Sparling’s Six Sonnets.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

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: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:Gifts of Art presents Florilegium: Color Photography
DESCRIPTION:Lansing\, Michigan artist Kim Kauffman shares her appreciation of the botanical world through photo collages of subjects from gardens. 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 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:In the Garden Grows a Lump: Rare Books on the Picturesque
DESCRIPTION:\"In the Garden Grows a Lump\" is an exhibition and drawing colloquium organized around rare illustrated manuscripts on picturesque gardens. The basis of the project is a large collection of 18th and 19th century books on the picturesque held in the University of Michigan Library special collections\, which are rarely available for public view and have not had a prominent place in teaching or scholarship in the Department of Architecture. The exhibition will include 15-20 manuscripts\, a series of printed\, enlarged reproductions of drawings in the manuscripts to show detail and technique\, and a series of large-format drawings that interpret and analyze the historical source material. It will be accompanied by a colloquium with visiting scholars. Assistant Professor Andrew Holder organized the exhibition and designed the installation.\n\nSponsored by The Guido A. Binda Lecture and Exhibition Fund.

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:Performance:Simon & Garfunkel Retrospective by AJ Swearingen & J Beedle
DESCRIPTION:AJ Swearingen and Jonathan Beedle have been performing their tribute to the music of Simon & Garfunkel for more than a decade\, and by now a lot of their shows are sellouts. They met by chance in 1991 at a club in Bethlehem\, Pennsylvania\, and after a brief introduction they were harmonizing vocally as if they had always been performing together. AJ’s warm baritone and Jonathan’s soaring tenor combine to capture the essence and magic of the Simon & Garfunkel sound in the early years in Greenwich Village. With a quiet stage and an acoustic guitar\, AJ and Jonathan will bring back plenty of memories\, not only of the classic hits but also of the more obscure songs of Simon & Garfunkel. Relive the magic!
