Come and see crystals from the Museum of Natural History\, books from the Library's collection\, and displays of the equipment used at the X-Ray Crystallography Lab.\n\nUNESCO chose 2014 as the International year of Crystallography because it commemorates two important anniversaries in the study of matter: the centennial of X-ray diffraction\, and the 400th anniversary of Kepler’s observation in 1611 of the symmetrical form of ice crystals. Both breakthroughs led to subsequent studies in the role of symmetry in matter and the nature of crystalline material. U-M continues this investigation today.\n UID:17714-1203607@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17714 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:library,museum of natural history LOCATION:Shapiro Library - Third Floor Hallway CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141017T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141017T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141017T235959 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Giving Blueday Student Participation DESCRIPTION:Giving Blueday will take place on December 2nd.

Her current work focuses on birdpants and formal wear of the forest – tiny pants for birds and frogs\, and dapper suits for squirrels that “could be for backyard visitors who are fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.” She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce her highly detailed – and decidedly nontraditional – confections. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

The sixteen photographs included in this exhibition speak to an especially charged collaboration between photographer and model in that they are all portraits of artists.\n\nWhen a photographer is faced with a subject who is so thoroughly invested in artistic representation\, how might this impact his or her own photographic aesthetic? In this suite of remarkable photographs\, we witness different manifestations of this phenomenon at work. For example\, we see results ranging from the surreal to the seemingly straightforward through encounters between Salvador Dalí and Philippe Halsman\; Frida Kahlo and Manuel Álvarez Bravo\; and Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. In other cases the photographer intentionally frames the photographic subject alongside the artist’s own work of art so that they become compelling participants in their own painted or sculptural compositions.\n\nThis exhibition invites viewers to consider how the difficult task of representing another artist is productively accomplished through the collaborative aesthetic resonances discernable between model and photographer in these portraits. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Credit Union and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

If Django Reinhardt\, the cast of Stomp and the Beatles all had a party at Tim Burton's house\, Caravan of Thieves would be the band they hired! Like many families\, this one started with a married couple–Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni\, (guitar\, vocals\, various percussive “instruments”) writing and performing as a duo. “It started as a romantic\, bohemian vision of a couple making music\, performing on the road\, in parks\, venues\, traveling around and avoiding responsibility as much as possible\,” says Fuzz. “The first thing we discovered was we loved singing together\, harmonizing our voices. Just seemed to click right away.” In the spring of 2008\, Fuzz and Carrie extended their family to include fiery violinist Ben Dean and double bass madman Brian Anderson. After that\, the four of them ran away from home and never looked back. Caravan of Thieves is on tour in support of a new single\, \"Dead Wrong\,\" which channels pop bliss through their trademark lock-tight\, turn-of-the-century\, bang-out-a-beat-on-anything-that-can-take-it approach.

Come and see crystals from the Museum of Natural History\, books from the Library's collection\, and displays of the equipment used at the X-Ray Crystallography Lab.\n\nUNESCO chose 2014 as the International year of Crystallography because it commemorates two important anniversaries in the study of matter: the centennial of X-ray diffraction\, and the 400th anniversary of Kepler’s observation in 1611 of the symmetrical form of ice crystals. Both breakthroughs led to subsequent studies in the role of symmetry in matter and the nature of crystalline material. U-M continues this investigation today.\n UID:17714-1203608@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17714 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:library,museum of natural history LOCATION:Shapiro Library - Third Floor Hallway CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141017T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141018T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141017T233000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Giving Blueday Student Participation DESCRIPTION:Giving Blueday will take place on December 2nd.

Her current work focuses on birdpants and formal wear of the forest – tiny pants for birds and frogs\, and dapper suits for squirrels that “could be for backyard visitors who are fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.” She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce her highly detailed – and decidedly nontraditional – confections. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The sixteen photographs included in this exhibition speak to an especially charged collaboration between photographer and model in that they are all portraits of artists.\n\nWhen a photographer is faced with a subject who is so thoroughly invested in artistic representation\, how might this impact his or her own photographic aesthetic? In this suite of remarkable photographs\, we witness different manifestations of this phenomenon at work. For example\, we see results ranging from the surreal to the seemingly straightforward through encounters between Salvador Dalí and Philippe Halsman\; Frida Kahlo and Manuel Álvarez Bravo\; and Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. In other cases the photographer intentionally frames the photographic subject alongside the artist’s own work of art so that they become compelling participants in their own painted or sculptural compositions.\n\nThis exhibition invites viewers to consider how the difficult task of representing another artist is productively accomplished through the collaborative aesthetic resonances discernable between model and photographer in these portraits. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

The group is clearly built around the multi-talented Erin Zindle\, who is not only the singer and songwriter\, but is proficient in a variety of stringed instruments. This classically trained violinist can aptly pluck the eight-stringed mandolin\, wield a wild accordion\, and rock the banjo while maintaining lead vocals. Surrounding Zindle's earthy-sweet voice is the whirlwind of a guitarist T.J. Zindle\, superb bassist Dan Jones\, drummer Jon Brown\, and standout percussionist Randall Moore. After seven years of averaging nearly 175 shows a year\, all over America\, these Ann Arbor-based world-beat-folk-rockers finally took a break from touring in late summer 2013 to celebrate the birth of Aviva Alice Moore\, daughter of Erin Zindle and percussionist Randall Moore. Now\, the band has returned to the recording studio to work on their fifth studio release project. Showing no signs of slowing down\, The Ragbirds (with baby Aviva and nanny in tow!) continue to spread their unique blend of enthusiastic folk rock and world beat Americana all over the U.S. and beyond.

Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The sixteen photographs included in this exhibition speak to an especially charged collaboration between photographer and model in that they are all portraits of artists.\n\nWhen a photographer is faced with a subject who is so thoroughly invested in artistic representation\, how might this impact his or her own photographic aesthetic? In this suite of remarkable photographs\, we witness different manifestations of this phenomenon at work. For example\, we see results ranging from the surreal to the seemingly straightforward through encounters between Salvador Dalí and Philippe Halsman\; Frida Kahlo and Manuel Álvarez Bravo\; and Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. In other cases the photographer intentionally frames the photographic subject alongside the artist’s own work of art so that they become compelling participants in their own painted or sculptural compositions.\n\nThis exhibition invites viewers to consider how the difficult task of representing another artist is productively accomplished through the collaborative aesthetic resonances discernable between model and photographer in these portraits. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund.

In Kazakh with English subtitles (100 min.\, 2008).\n\nWinner of the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival\, acclaimed Kazakh documentarian Sergey Dvortsevoy’s first narrative feature is a gorgeous mélange of tender comedy\, ethnographic drama and wildlife extravaganza. Following his Russian naval service\, young dreamer Asa returns to his sister’s nomadic brood on the desolate Hunger Steppe to begin a hardscrabble career as a shepherd. But before he can tend a flock of his own\, Asa must win the hand of the only eligible bachelorette for miles—his alluringly mysterious neighbor Tulpan. Accompanied by his girlie mag-reading sidekick Boni (and a menagerie of adorable lambs\, stampeding camels\, mewling kittens and mischievous children)\, Asa will stop at nothing to prove he is a worthy husband and herder. In the tradition of such crowd-pleasing travelogues as The Story of the Weeping Camel\, Tulpan’s gentle humor and stunning photography transport audiences to this singular\, harshly beautiful region and its rapidly vanishing way of life.

DESCRIPTION:Downriver Wayne County resident Bill Bynum writes hardcore country and bluegrass songs steeped in the music his Southern-migrant parents brought to Detroit. Bill was recently profiled by the Associated Press\, and both his calendar and the venues he plays have been growing more crowded lately. \"My music is kind of a Southern roots-based acoustic music\, but I feel like I am very hard to box into a category\,'' he says. \"There's more emotional content to my music than probably most people's.'' It's the truth! Bill's band often includes local veterans Mary Seelhorst on fiddle\, John Lang on pedal steel\, and Chuck Anderson on bass. With songs both traditional and original\, and a sound that's at once as comfortable as old jeans and as fresh as a new blade of grass\, Bill Bynum & Co. is a band that’s easy to love and hard to quit.

Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Berkman's photography has a painterly quality due to his use of light. True to the definition of photography\, he sees his work as writing\, drawing or painting with light\, transforming the elements of subject\, color and shape into compositions. Appreciating that a photograph captures a fleeting moment in time\, he uses light to create emotional moods and bring his images to life.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

The often-unnoticed actor in environmental policy is the state regulator—the Lilliputian. Together\, these Lilliputians comprise the foundation of environmental regulation and the future regulatory state should increasingly rely on these little giants of environmental protection.\n\nMichelle Pautz received her B.A. in Economics\, Political Science\, and Public Administration from Elon University in 2003.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

Having no prior experience in assessing “jihadists\,” Welner consulted with Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennels. Well known in Europe for his racist views of Muslims\, Sennels believes that “massive inbreeding within the Muslim culture during the last 1\,400 years may have done catastrophic damage to their gene pool.” Muslims are genetically unable to integrate into European society and they possess an in born capacity to be violent. As I have shown in Casting Out\, this biological view of Muslim degeneracy has gained currency in European and North American courts and parliaments\, often in as openly racist a form as in Sennels’ opinions\, but also disguised as moderate arguments about Muslim cultural incapacity to integrate. Such arguments have all been central tot he case about Muslim men who are violent towards Muslim women. In this paper I consider how law’s contemporary preoccupation with the Muslim psyche renders all Muslims as less than human. I explore the logic of this eviction both from law and from humanity and discuss the relationship between a biological view of Muslim degeneracy and the culturalization of violence.\n\nSherene Razack is a full professor in the Department of Social Justice Education\, at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto.

Studley Faculty Scholar and Distinguished Professor of Anthropology\, CUNY Graduate Center\n\nNothing in Soviet-style communism was as shrouded in mystery as its secret police. Its paid employees were known to few and their actual numbers remain uncertain. Its informers and collaborators operated clandestinely under pseudonyms and met their officers in secret locations. Its files were inaccessible\, even to most party members. The people the secret police recruited or interrogated were threatened so effectively that some never told even their spouses\, and many have held their tongues to this day\, long after the regimes fell.\n\nWith the end of communism\, Romania among other newly established “democracies” opened its secret police archives. From those files\, as well as personal memories\, the author has carried out historical ethnography of the Romanian Securitate. This talk will emphasize the surveillance practices most commonly used\, in particular the recruitment of informers.\n\nKatherine Verdery is the Julien J. Studley Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the Graduate Center\, City University of New York. She has conducted fieldwork primarily in Romania\, on ethnic and national identity\, the workings of socialism and the transition from it\, the state\, and property transformation. Her books include: Transylvanian Villagers (California\, 1983)\, National Ideology Under Socialism (California\, 1991)\, What Was Socialism\, and What Comes Next? (Princeton\, 1996)\, The Political Lives of Dead Bodies (Columbia\, 1999)\, The Vanishing Hectare (Cornell\, 2003)\, and Peasants under Siege (Princeton\, 2011\, with Gail Kligman).

Nixon: A 40-Year Retrospective DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago\, in the late summer of 1974\, President Richard M. Nixon became the first American president to resign in disgrace\, in order to head off indictment by the Watergate Special Prosecutor or face impeachment by the U.S. Congress. When newly-installed President Gerald R. Ford unexpectedly pardoned Nixon a month later\, in September 1974\, that decision unleashed a feeling of outrage and deep suspicion by a vast majority of the American public. Many critics were certain that Ford “cut a deal” with Nixon\, agreeing to pardon him in return for becoming president. The dramatic events leading up to Nixon’s resignation\, and to Ford’s unprecedented pardon of his predecessor\, are the subject of this program by Dean Ken Gormley of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Dean Gormley is a highly-respected Constitutional scholar\, and a nationally recognized expert on Watergate and related events.\n\nDean Gormley will recount this gripping story\, and reveal facts about the pardon of Richard Nixon that are largely unknown to history. Indeed\, those who questioned President Ford’s decision may reevaluate that assessment. Dean Gormley will show clips of Benton Becker\, who served as Special Counsel to President Ford and was personally sent by Ford to California to negotiate the terms of the Pardon with Richard Nixon. \n\nThe evening will also feature film footage from the time of the pardon\, a special Tom Brokaw recollection piece about this dramatic moment in American history\, and Gormley’s own filmed interview with President Ford. This interview\, occurring several years before Ford’s death\, includes the former president discussing his reasons for pardoning Nixon\, knowing that it might cause him to lose the presidency in 1976. These dramatic events will form the subject of an informative and fascinating discussion. \n\nOpen Seating\; Free Admission\; Free Parking\; Reception follows program.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

DESCRIPTION:Some of the writings and interviews of Puerto Rican migrants settling in New York City during the interwar years of early twentieth century betray a sort of “cognitive dissonance”. This was particularly evident among those “white” migrants who struggled to explain their experiences with discrimination at the hands of other “white” New Yorkers. It seems they were registering a flux between the discourses of race and/or color circulating on the island-archipelago\, and the ones they now encountered in the metropolis. There\, the impulse against “racial amalgamation” had acquired some relatively fixed dimensions\, with particular consequences for those whose Africanity was apparent or assumed. Growing out of the nexus between whiteness and politics\, it matured into the “color-line”: a spatialization of race\, labor\, residence and crime which became synonymous with the very landscapes of cities like New York. For the waves of persons crowding its streets from the U.S. South and the Caribbean in the years after the First World War\, this historical structure etched itself into their everyday lives. Among those Puerto Ricans residing in the area of Downtown Brooklyn at this time\, it distributed them into clusters of relative color and occupational homogeneity\, within and adjacent to those areas with the highest rates of arrest in the city. But the “dissonance” that this experience produced was not limited to a handful of the migrants. It is also apparent in those sources that contain narratives about or representations of race and/or color difference among those migrants. At first glance\, these are often contradictory and incompatible\, but a closer look suggests these discrepancies should be read as registers of the actual contingencies and the constants of that experience.\n\nPeter L. Carlo Becerra is an adjunct professor at the Sociology and Anthropology Department at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras. He is a graduate of the Doctoral Program in Sociology at SUNY-Binghamton\, where he studied with Terence K. Hopkins\, Kelvin Santiago-Valles\, and Dale W. Tomich. He is a Bronx born and raised Nuyorican who has resided in the Puerto Rican archipelago for well over a decade\, along with his two children. He is also a graduate of Lehman College-CUNY\, and the public high schools of New York City. His ruminations on the entangled character of race and/or color\, space\, labor\, crime\, and politics in historic New York\, are not just academic fare. They are constructs of the “conceptual evidence” of his experiences. He is also fond of designing and teaching courses in sociological method. \n\nThis event sponsored by the Latina/o Studies Program\, the Department of American Culture\, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, The Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, and the National Center for Institutional Diversity.

But what about contemporary Chinese theatre and its makers? How do we access the plays that entertain and touch audiences in the East? And how can we develop further cultural dialogue?\n\nThis talk will start with an outline of theatre in London and how this has engaged with China. Then the speaker will present a snapshot of the major theatrical centers in mainland China\, in Beijing and Shanghai\, how they have embraced Western forms\, and yet how each city differs in approach. There will also be a look at the theatre of Hong Kong\, which is very much a hybrid of East meets West.\n\nTo aid our understanding\, we can explore how the theatre being produced in the East is (and is not) comparable to Broadway\, Off-Broadway and the fringe theatre of the West. We will then examine the barriers and opportunities for creating work in China\, from cultural contexts to issues of translation\, as well as the potential to be able to bring exciting\, canonical\, modern Chinese plays to the West.\n\nTheatre director Jonathan Man\, of Hong Kong Chinese descent and born & bred in the U.K.\, has been working on projects in China and Hong Kong the past three years\, and will be sharing his creative journey. He has directed a variety of shows on different scales\, including “Monkey!” - based on the classic novel “Journey to the West”\, and \"wAve\" - a Korean American re-imagining of the \"Medea\" myth. He is the first British director to have been programmed for the Beijing International Fringe Festival\, and he has worked on two Shakespeare productions in Shanghai.\n\nHe is now looking to create ambitious theatre productions in the U.K. and the U.S. to platform the Chinese contemporary canon\, as well as developing innovative theatre for audiences in China & Hong Kong. His work draws from the East and the West\, and his cultural background has allowed him to gain a unique insight into the Chinese theatrical landscape.

Why “global women”? If you’ve ever tried doing a Wikipedia search for important women theorists around the world\, you might be surprised to note how short the entries are\, particularly on their work and their ideas (for example: Chandra Talpade Mohanty\, Gayatri Spivak\, bell hooks\, Gloria Anzaldua\, Vandana Shiva\, and Sara Ahmed). Many important women of color\, such as Oyeronke Oyewumi\, lack entries or stubs in Wikipedia. Additionally\, coverage of international events involving women is brief or nonexistent (for example: the 1929 Aba Women’s Riots in Nigeria\; Domitila Barrios de Chúngara\; and Angkatan Wanita Sedar or “Force of Awakened Women\,” an important feminist group in Malaysian history).\n\nThese gaps in Wikipedia’s knowledge base are striking and important\, especially since Wikipedia is now the most commonly referenced encyclopedia globally. These gaps–particularly the gender gap–have been subject to study. According to the Wikimedia Wikipedia’s Editor’s Survey of 2011\, “If there is a typical Wikipedia editor\, he has a college degree\, is 30-years-old\, is computer savvy but not necessarily a programmer\, doesn't actually spend much time playing games\, and lives in US or Europe.”\n\nThe Global Women Write In aims to encourage new people to become Wikipedia editors\, to provide support for new editors\, and to develop best practices for rewriting Wikipedia. During our event\, we encourage editors to draw on their knowledge and experience to contribute entries and information on women around the world to Wikipedia.\n\nParticipants should sign up for a Wikipedia account before the workshop and bring their computers and a research paper they are working on (for the citations) to the workshop. (Wikipedia prevents mass signups from the same IP address a the same time).\n\nJoin us for videotaped student-lead dialogue sessions with invited speakers that build on academic and creative resources for feminist studies of technology and culture. Learn from the interactive experience of not just reading and answering questions\, or communicating within our class community\, but by being directly exposed to wider national scholarly and creative community. Create your own content through Wikipedia editing\, online video production\, game-making\, and vernacular animation practices like BitStrips and Extranormal. Become more engaged with technology and STEM fields through critical feminist lens\, and explore the possibilities and limits of interactive distributed pedagogy.

But just what kind of perfection is at stake seems to keep changing. And just how hyperbolically high that level of perfection is today is not widely appreciated—least of all in the realm of technology and fabrication. Indeed\, over the course of his career\, Koons has increasingly amped up the technological ambition and complexity of his production\, so that his fabrication standards now may easily—and incredibly—exceed those of advanced industry\, whether aerospace or military. Today\, nearly one hundred and fifty employees spend countless man-hours powering the Koons studio: researching\, coding\, rendering\, painting\, polishing. Yet both the effort and the outcome remain mysterious\, shrouded in secrecy and cloaked by impossibly shiny surfaces and impeccably applied paint. What type of thing\, exactly\, is Koons making now?\n\nThis talk explores the ambitious fabrication technologies behind Koons’s work\, which are at the forefront of new kinds of industrial and digital production—and which are redefining the very concepts of standardization and customization\, likeness and singularity.\n\nMichelle Kuo is the editor in chief of Artforum UID:19690-1235877@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19690 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Visual Arts LOCATION:Tappan Hall - 180 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141020T091817 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141022T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141022T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Round Table: Beyond Ebola DESCRIPTION:This International Institute Round Table explores the multi-disciplinary interplay of the science of Ebola virus (replication\, transmission\, controls)\, impacts of public policies and infrastructure\, factors in engaging community and culture\, and predictions for control of this and future epidemic outbreaks.

With the help of resourceful Pazu and a rollicking band of sky pirates\, she makes her way to the ruins of the once-great civilization. Sheeta and Pazu must outwit the evil Muska\, who plans to use Laputa’s science to make himself ruler of the world. Castle echoes elements in Myazaki’s earlier Nausicaä\, and anticipates imagery in his later films\, from My Neighbor Totoro to Spirited Away.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Most critics of the system allege that special interests use campaign contributions to buy legislators’ votes in variety of ways. Professor Hall will discuss the extent to which these allegations are true\, and argue that interest groups and their lobbyists do not need to corrupt legislators to influence them. For the most part\, lobbyists help legislators do their jobs\, but they help them selectively in ways that distort the representative process and influence legislators insidiously.\n\nPlease check the OLLI web site for additional lectures in the next Thursday Lecture Series\, “American Music: How Did We Get Here?” October 30-December 11.\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/lectures.html UID:18527-1209950@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/18527 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lifelong Learning,Politics,Public Policy,Retirement LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140902T122941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141023T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Amie Siegel: Provenance DESCRIPTION:Amie Siegel’s Provenance traces in reverse the global trade in furniture from the Indian city of Chandigarh. Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

Previously\, many of its inhabitants believed that they had to choose which children to raise and which to discard at birth\, and infanticides were so frequent (40% of all births) that every generation was smaller than the one that went before it. The fight against infanticide\, motivated in no small part by this depopulation\, became a central concern of the public conversation\, and had many successes to celebrate. The number of children\, for one\, increased from about three per woman in the 18th century to about six in 1920. In this talk\, I will outline the contours of this reverse fertility transition and discuss the changing metaphors and images\, political concerns and understandings of the world that made infanticide normal and normative in one century\, and a dehumanizing crime in another. I would also be delighted to think with you about whether this journey from low fertility to high matters for how we view demographic change in other societies\, past\, present\, and future.

My talk will focus on the distribution of red flowers and the genetic basis for the origin of this trait. Studies in a handful of taxa\, including my own in Iochroma\, suggest that the convergent evolution of red flowers often involve a similar suite of genetic changes\, including loss of expression\, changes in enzymatic function\, and loss of function mutations. I will discuss the implications of these genetic changes for the macroevolution of flower color.

Taking science as a means to develop a new material vocabulary\, their work invites consideration of the man/machine relationship through explorations of behavior and natural phenomena — with the viewer an active participant. \n\nRain Room\, the work for which the studio is best known\, was exhibited at MoMA following its debut at the Barbican Centre. The immersive installation is an environment of perpetual ‘rainfall‘ through which visitors can walk and yet remain dry. Random furthers the use of water as a raw material in Tower: Instant Structure for Schacht XII\, which pulls falling water into an architectural form\, instantaneously. Set amid a former coal mine\, Tower is the first in an ongoing series of instant structures that the studio continues to develop.\n\n\nEstablished with the generous support of alumna Penny W. Stamps\, the Speaker Series brings respected emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to the School to conduct a public lecture and engage with students\, faculty\, and the larger University and Ann Arbor communities. Additional support is provided by series sponsors Michigan Radio\, WUOM 91.7 FM and Arts @ Michigan.\n\nUnless otherwise noted\, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater\, located at 603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor\, and are free of charge and open to the public.\n\nAdditional Presentation at MOCAD:\nOctober 24\, 7:00 pm\nMuseum of Contemporary Art Detroit\n4454 Woodward Ave\, Detroit\, MI\n\nWith support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD).

Jerry “Jai” Moore\, the remaining officer from the Detroit Area Council of the Mattachine Society (1958-1960)\, shares memories of his involvement in gay activism at that time\, and U-M professor Gayle Rubin adds her remarks.\n\nMattachine bravely offered a sanctuary for gay and lesbian Detroiters who sought to organize — at a time when homosexuals were arrested as criminals\, institutionalized as psychopaths\, and ostracized as sinners. Mattachine members paved the way for sweeping social change over the next half century.\n\nThe Detroit Mattachine records are part of the Joseph A. Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan Library.

Along the way they scored hit singles at both AAA and Hot AC Radio with \"Life Less Ordinary\" and \"The Boxer\,\" placed first in the International Songwriting Competition\, won an American Music Award\, and recorded the music for Universal's \"Curious George II\" soundtrack. Says the Washington Examiner: \"Some call Carbon Leaf's music Southern\, others label it Celtic\, and still others say it leans toward bluegrass or some combination of formats. No matter what your take on the band's sound\, almost everyone can agree that Carbon Leaf creates music that just isn't heard anywhere else–and that's what keeps fans clamoring for more music.\" As Carbon Leaf enters their third decade of recording and touring\, the band’s rigorous path of independence continues\, focusing on writing\, producing and releasing new material directly to their fans. They come to Michigan with a new album\, \"Constellation Prize.\" UID:17373-1201934@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17373 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:carbon leaf,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.
