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.

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.

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. Stamps School of Art & Design\, Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\, and Institute for the Humanities.

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. Stamps School of Art & Design.

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.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

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 painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them. As opposed to male practitioners who favored oversized works with grandiose themes\, women Minimalist took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative.

Rose loves Robin\, but feels it wouldn’t be proper etiquette to tell him\; Robin loves Rose\, but is too scared to tell her. Their romance (or lack thereof) is derailed when it is revealed that Robin is actually Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd\, one of the bad baronets of Ruddigore. The bad baronets are cursed to do one crime every day or perish in agony\; a task that Robin proves to be ill-suited for. After a visit from his ghostly relatives\, he resolves to abduct a lady – but she turns out to be more than he’d bargained for. Realizing he is not cut out for a life of crime\, Robin decides to defy the curse\, and since refusing is “tantamount to suicide” and suicide is a crime\, he realizes he curse no longer applies and he can now live a normal life.

This\, our second Pop-Up of the semester\, features artwork from the graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by U-M's Phoebe Gloeckner.\n\nAbout Diary of a Teenage Girl:\n\nSo begins the wrenching diary of Minnie Goetze\, a fifteen-year-old girl longing for love and acceptance and struggling with her own precocious sexuality. Minnie hates school and she wants to be an artist\, or maybe a speleologist\, or a bartender. She sleeps with her mother's boyfriend\, and yet is too shy to talk with boys at school. She forges her way through adolescence\, unsupervised and unguided\, defenseless\, and yet fearless.\n\nThe story unfolds in the libertine atmosphere of the 1970s San Francisco\, but the significance of Minnie's effort to understand herself and her world is universal. This is the story of an adolescent troubled by the discontinuity between what she thinks and feels and what she observes in those around her. The Diary of a Teenage Girl offers a searing comment on adult society as seen though the eyes of a young woman on the verge of joining it.\n\nIn this unusual novel\, artist and writer Phoebe Gloeckner presents a pivotal year in a girl's life\, recounted in diary pages and illustrations\, with full narrative sequences in comics form.\n\nPhoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book\, The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2002)\, was praised as \"one of the most brutally honest\, shocking\, tender\, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.\" Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story\, Minnie’s Third Love (published in A Child’s Life and Other Stories) one of the “comicbook masterpieces of all time.”\n\nHer books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.\n\nIn 2008\, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juárez\, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3\,200+ homicides in 2010)\, Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family\, the case of their daughter’s murder\, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.\n\nGloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel- Diary is a hybrid of prose and graphic novel\, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio\, motion\, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic “multi-touch” book offering a “seamless” reading experience\, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole\, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an “enhanced” novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.

The process of making the photographs allowed her to explore these issues by putting herself in front of the camera …as a way to connect\, to figure out what and how to communicate\, to engage more fully\, and move forward.\n\nJen Davis is a photographer whose startlingly intimate self- portraits possess the luminosity of 17th century Dutch painting as well as the raw vulnerability of a great Cassavetes screen heroine. They are disarming in their complete unaffectedness\, at once lyrical and documentary\, leaving us fully awake\, aware of every detail and gesture in this deeply private world of the artist as subject. Each image seems to expect us knowingly\, beckoning us yet completely self-contained. The viewer is startled first then contemplative\, inevitably drawn further into one’s own process of self –examination. Davis’s images offer the gaze between two rooms –public and private\, quite mindfully erasing the line between them\, leaving us to ponder this lingering trace\, and to wonder.\n\nJen Davis is a New York based photographer. She received an MFA from Yale University in 2008\, and BFA from Columbia College Chicago in 2002. Davis’ work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2013. Her first monograph titled Eleven Years\, published by Kehrer Verlag (Germany) was released in the Spring of 2014 accompanied by her first solo show in New York City at ClampArt. Davis is represented by Lee Marks Fine Art\, Shelbyville\, IN and ClampArt\, New York\, NY.

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.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

This\, our second Pop-Up of the semester\, features artwork from the graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by U-M's Phoebe Gloeckner.\n\nAbout Diary of a Teenage Girl:\n\nSo begins the wrenching diary of Minnie Goetze\, a fifteen-year-old girl longing for love and acceptance and struggling with her own precocious sexuality. Minnie hates school and she wants to be an artist\, or maybe a speleologist\, or a bartender. She sleeps with her mother's boyfriend\, and yet is too shy to talk with boys at school. She forges her way through adolescence\, unsupervised and unguided\, defenseless\, and yet fearless.\n\nThe story unfolds in the libertine atmosphere of the 1970s San Francisco\, but the significance of Minnie's effort to understand herself and her world is universal. This is the story of an adolescent troubled by the discontinuity between what she thinks and feels and what she observes in those around her. The Diary of a Teenage Girl offers a searing comment on adult society as seen though the eyes of a young woman on the verge of joining it.\n\nIn this unusual novel\, artist and writer Phoebe Gloeckner presents a pivotal year in a girl's life\, recounted in diary pages and illustrations\, with full narrative sequences in comics form.\n\nPhoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book\, The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2002)\, was praised as \"one of the most brutally honest\, shocking\, tender\, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.\" Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story\, Minnie’s Third Love (published in A Child’s Life and Other Stories) one of the “comicbook masterpieces of all time.”\n\nHer books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.\n\nIn 2008\, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juárez\, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3\,200+ homicides in 2010)\, Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family\, the case of their daughter’s murder\, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.\n\nGloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel- Diary is a hybrid of prose and graphic novel\, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio\, motion\, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic “multi-touch” book offering a “seamless” reading experience\, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole\, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an “enhanced” novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.

The process of making the photographs allowed her to explore these issues by putting herself in front of the camera …as a way to connect\, to figure out what and how to communicate\, to engage more fully\, and move forward.\n\nJen Davis is a photographer whose startlingly intimate self- portraits possess the luminosity of 17th century Dutch painting as well as the raw vulnerability of a great Cassavetes screen heroine. They are disarming in their complete unaffectedness\, at once lyrical and documentary\, leaving us fully awake\, aware of every detail and gesture in this deeply private world of the artist as subject. Each image seems to expect us knowingly\, beckoning us yet completely self-contained. The viewer is startled first then contemplative\, inevitably drawn further into one’s own process of self –examination. Davis’s images offer the gaze between two rooms –public and private\, quite mindfully erasing the line between them\, leaving us to ponder this lingering trace\, and to wonder.\n\nJen Davis is a New York based photographer. She received an MFA from Yale University in 2008\, and BFA from Columbia College Chicago in 2002. Davis’ work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2013. Her first monograph titled Eleven Years\, published by Kehrer Verlag (Germany) was released in the Spring of 2014 accompanied by her first solo show in New York City at ClampArt. Davis is represented by Lee Marks Fine Art\, Shelbyville\, IN and ClampArt\, New York\, NY.

DESCRIPTION:Picture books\, board books\, chapter books\, pop-ups and other mechanic styles of books present a solid picture of how the development of modern transportation methods has been incorporated into children’s literature through the last 150 years.\n\nThe exhibit theme is transportation throughout the decades and how it influenced and became part of children’s books\, and it documents how authors used the genre to educate children about the changing transportation in the world around them.\n\nThe majority of the exhibit is from the 20th century\, and is divided into four main areas: On The Road (cars and trucks)\, Up In The Air (planes and other aircraft)\, Riding the Rails (trains) and Ships Ahoy!

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.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

This\, our second Pop-Up of the semester\, features artwork from the graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by U-M's Phoebe Gloeckner.\n\nAbout Diary of a Teenage Girl:\n\nSo begins the wrenching diary of Minnie Goetze\, a fifteen-year-old girl longing for love and acceptance and struggling with her own precocious sexuality. Minnie hates school and she wants to be an artist\, or maybe a speleologist\, or a bartender. She sleeps with her mother's boyfriend\, and yet is too shy to talk with boys at school. She forges her way through adolescence\, unsupervised and unguided\, defenseless\, and yet fearless.\n\nThe story unfolds in the libertine atmosphere of the 1970s San Francisco\, but the significance of Minnie's effort to understand herself and her world is universal. This is the story of an adolescent troubled by the discontinuity between what she thinks and feels and what she observes in those around her. The Diary of a Teenage Girl offers a searing comment on adult society as seen though the eyes of a young woman on the verge of joining it.\n\nIn this unusual novel\, artist and writer Phoebe Gloeckner presents a pivotal year in a girl's life\, recounted in diary pages and illustrations\, with full narrative sequences in comics form.\n\nPhoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book\, The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2002)\, was praised as \"one of the most brutally honest\, shocking\, tender\, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.\" Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story\, Minnie’s Third Love (published in A Child’s Life and Other Stories) one of the “comicbook masterpieces of all time.”\n\nHer books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.\n\nIn 2008\, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juárez\, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3\,200+ homicides in 2010)\, Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family\, the case of their daughter’s murder\, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.\n\nGloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel- Diary is a hybrid of prose and graphic novel\, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio\, motion\, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic “multi-touch” book offering a “seamless” reading experience\, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole\, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an “enhanced” novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.

The process of making the photographs allowed her to explore these issues by putting herself in front of the camera …as a way to connect\, to figure out what and how to communicate\, to engage more fully\, and move forward.\n\nJen Davis is a photographer whose startlingly intimate self- portraits possess the luminosity of 17th century Dutch painting as well as the raw vulnerability of a great Cassavetes screen heroine. They are disarming in their complete unaffectedness\, at once lyrical and documentary\, leaving us fully awake\, aware of every detail and gesture in this deeply private world of the artist as subject. Each image seems to expect us knowingly\, beckoning us yet completely self-contained. The viewer is startled first then contemplative\, inevitably drawn further into one’s own process of self –examination. Davis’s images offer the gaze between two rooms –public and private\, quite mindfully erasing the line between them\, leaving us to ponder this lingering trace\, and to wonder.\n\nJen Davis is a New York based photographer.

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.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

Based on the oral histories of seven ethnic Koreans from China and the United States\, the lecture probes the complex entanglements arising from their experiences of colonialism\, war\, nation-building\, and migration. Part of a larger project on Korean diaspora\, this lecture demonstrates the ongoing significance of the war for Koreans globally and the ways in which the politics of division force individuals to reassess their relationship to the two Koreas and reconsider what it means to be Korean.\n\n Ji-Yeon Yuh is an associate professor of history at Northwestern University. She specializes in Asian American history and Asian diasporas and is the author of Beyond the Shadow of Camptown: Korean Military Brides in America (New York University Press\, 2002). A history of Korean women who immigrated to the United States as the wives of U.S. soldiers\, this work examines the dynamics of race\, culture\, gender and nationalism from the perspective of Korean military brides. Her current book project examines policies toward minority ethnic groups and their impact on the development of community and identity\, as well as the ways in which experiences of Koreans in the diaspora are connected and divided by the history of the Korean peninsula in the twentieth century. She is a native of Seoul and Chicago\, a former journalist\, and a fan of pungmul. \n\nCosponsored by the U-M Department of History UID:18670-1212698@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/18670 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Korea LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - Room 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141210T180009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141210T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141210T200000 SUMMARY:Other:Christmas Caroling DESCRIPTION:Come and join us as we go Christmas Caroling at St. Joseph's Hospital.

This\, our second Pop-Up of the semester\, features artwork from the graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by U-M's Phoebe Gloeckner.\n\nAbout Diary of a Teenage Girl:\n\nSo begins the wrenching diary of Minnie Goetze\, a fifteen-year-old girl longing for love and acceptance and struggling with her own precocious sexuality. Minnie hates school and she wants to be an artist\, or maybe a speleologist\, or a bartender. She sleeps with her mother's boyfriend\, and yet is too shy to talk with boys at school. She forges her way through adolescence\, unsupervised and unguided\, defenseless\, and yet fearless.\n\nThe story unfolds in the libertine atmosphere of the 1970s San Francisco\, but the significance of Minnie's effort to understand herself and her world is universal. This is the story of an adolescent troubled by the discontinuity between what she thinks and feels and what she observes in those around her. The Diary of a Teenage Girl offers a searing comment on adult society as seen though the eyes of a young woman on the verge of joining it.\n\nIn this unusual novel\, artist and writer Phoebe Gloeckner presents a pivotal year in a girl's life\, recounted in diary pages and illustrations\, with full narrative sequences in comics form.\n\nPhoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book\, The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2002)\, was praised as \"one of the most brutally honest\, shocking\, tender\, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.\" Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story\, Minnie’s Third Love (published in A Child’s Life and Other Stories) one of the “comicbook masterpieces of all time.”\n\nHer books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.\n\nIn 2008\, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juárez\, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3\,200+ homicides in 2010)\, Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family\, the case of their daughter’s murder\, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.\n\nGloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel- Diary is a hybrid of prose and graphic novel\, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio\, motion\, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic “multi-touch” book offering a “seamless” reading experience\, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole\, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an “enhanced” novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.

The process of making the photographs allowed her to explore these issues by putting herself in front of the camera …as a way to connect\, to figure out what and how to communicate\, to engage more fully\, and move forward.\n\nJen Davis is a photographer whose startlingly intimate self- portraits possess the luminosity of 17th century Dutch painting as well as the raw vulnerability of a great Cassavetes screen heroine. They are disarming in their complete unaffectedness\, at once lyrical and documentary\, leaving us fully awake\, aware of every detail and gesture in this deeply private world of the artist as subject. Each image seems to expect us knowingly\, beckoning us yet completely self-contained. The viewer is startled first then contemplative\, inevitably drawn further into one’s own process of self –examination. Davis’s images offer the gaze between two rooms –public and private\, quite mindfully erasing the line between them\, leaving us to ponder this lingering trace\, and to wonder.\n\nJen Davis is a New York based photographer. She received an MFA from Yale University in 2008\, and BFA from Columbia College Chicago in 2002. Davis’ work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2013. Her first monograph titled Eleven Years\, published by Kehrer Verlag (Germany) was released in the Spring of 2014 accompanied by her first solo show in New York City at ClampArt. Davis is represented by Lee Marks Fine Art\, Shelbyville\, IN and ClampArt\, New York\, NY.

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.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

It is especially in view of their position in the Habsburg empire that they merit our attention. Two of them\, the poets L. A. Frankl and Siegfried Kapper\, active in the 1830s-1840\, will be discussed. Their works reveal attempts to reconcile tensions and conflicts resulting from multiple loyalties in the complex political and ethnic fabric of the Habsburg Monarchy. On the one hand\, these authors respected the imperial situation by seeking visibility in Vienna and asserting the imperial language\, German\; on the other hand\, they increasingly paid more attention to the local than to the imperial—instead of always looking up to Vienna\, they often looked at their immediate neighbors\, the Czechs. (In fact\, Kapper also wrote in Czech.) And at the same time\, they consciously asserted their Jewish identity. The presentation surveys Frankl’s and Kapper’s poetry\, laying out tropes that reveal their origin in Bohemia and showing strategies that made them Bohemian Jews. Kapper’s poetry is especially instructive regarding the question of what it means to be a Bohemian Jew. We end with a rejection of this “local gesture” by K. H. Borovsky\, a Czech radical of the 1840s and a representative of Czech nationalism.

Their ethereal sounds—dreamy\, sweeping\, highly literate and melancholy—have drawn comparisons to the likes of Cowboy Junkies. Says Leslie Benson of the Dayton City Paper: \"The music of Cincinnati-based folk/roots band Over the Rhine seeps into you with a rich hunger—each note a separate\, glimmering cloud-diamond.\" And someone once described OTR\"s music as a mash-up of spirituality\, whimsy and sensuality (\"thank you\, thank you\, thank you\,\" they say). If you've never heard Over the Rhine\, this is a great time to check them out—they're coming to town with a new holiday album\, \"Blood Oranges in the Snow\,\" which they describe as \"reality Christmas.\" It features a cover of Merle Haggard's \"If We Make It Through December\" as well as original songs. The teenage musical sister duo Lily & Madeleine opens.

This\, our second Pop-Up of the semester\, features artwork from the graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by U-M's Phoebe Gloeckner.\n\nAbout Diary of a Teenage Girl:\n\nSo begins the wrenching diary of Minnie Goetze\, a fifteen-year-old girl longing for love and acceptance and struggling with her own precocious sexuality. Minnie hates school and she wants to be an artist\, or maybe a speleologist\, or a bartender. She sleeps with her mother's boyfriend\, and yet is too shy to talk with boys at school. She forges her way through adolescence\, unsupervised and unguided\, defenseless\, and yet fearless.\n\nThe story unfolds in the libertine atmosphere of the 1970s San Francisco\, but the significance of Minnie's effort to understand herself and her world is universal. This is the story of an adolescent troubled by the discontinuity between what she thinks and feels and what she observes in those around her. The Diary of a Teenage Girl offers a searing comment on adult society as seen though the eyes of a young woman on the verge of joining it.\n\nIn this unusual novel\, artist and writer Phoebe Gloeckner presents a pivotal year in a girl's life\, recounted in diary pages and illustrations\, with full narrative sequences in comics form.\n\nPhoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book\, The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2002)\, was praised as \"one of the most brutally honest\, shocking\, tender\, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.\" Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story\, Minnie’s Third Love (published in A Child’s Life and Other Stories) one of the “comicbook masterpieces of all time.”\n\nHer books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.\n\nIn 2008\, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juárez\, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3\,200+ homicides in 2010)\, Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family\, the case of their daughter’s murder\, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.\n\nGloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel- Diary is a hybrid of prose and graphic novel\, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio\, motion\, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic “multi-touch” book offering a “seamless” reading experience\, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole\, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an “enhanced” novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.

The process of making the photographs allowed her to explore these issues by putting herself in front of the camera …as a way to connect\, to figure out what and how to communicate\, to engage more fully\, and move forward.\n\nJen Davis is a photographer whose startlingly intimate self- portraits possess the luminosity of 17th century Dutch painting as well as the raw vulnerability of a great Cassavetes screen heroine. They are disarming in their complete unaffectedness\, at once lyrical and documentary\, leaving us fully awake\, aware of every detail and gesture in this deeply private world of the artist as subject. Each image seems to expect us knowingly\, beckoning us yet completely self-contained. The viewer is startled first then contemplative\, inevitably drawn further into one’s own process of self –examination. Davis’s images offer the gaze between two rooms –public and private\, quite mindfully erasing the line between them\, leaving us to ponder this lingering trace\, and to wonder.\n\nJen Davis is a New York based photographer. She received an MFA from Yale University in 2008\, and BFA from Columbia College Chicago in 2002. Davis’ work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2013. Her first monograph titled Eleven Years\, published by Kehrer Verlag (Germany) was released in the Spring of 2014 accompanied by her first solo show in New York City at ClampArt. Davis is represented by Lee Marks Fine Art\, Shelbyville\, IN and ClampArt\, New York\, NY.

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.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

The two began writing and singing together in Nashville and found that their similar influences of folk\, soul\, and rock blended together seductively\; they married in 2009\, and they've added a bit of Cuban spice and sultry French-movie atmosphere to their music since then. The name Johnnyswim comes from an episode involving Sudano's goldfish when she was little. The Nashville Tennessean describes Johnnyswim as \"a mix of Lauryn Hill and John Mayer\,\" and the duo\, stylish and romantic in music and attitude\, lives up to that billing. Johnnyswim appeared at the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, and they return to The Ark with a romantic selection of seasonal tunes!

This\, our second Pop-Up of the semester\, features artwork from the graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by U-M's Phoebe Gloeckner.\n\nAbout Diary of a Teenage Girl:\n\nSo begins the wrenching diary of Minnie Goetze\, a fifteen-year-old girl longing for love and acceptance and struggling with her own precocious sexuality. Minnie hates school and she wants to be an artist\, or maybe a speleologist\, or a bartender. She sleeps with her mother's boyfriend\, and yet is too shy to talk with boys at school. She forges her way through adolescence\, unsupervised and unguided\, defenseless\, and yet fearless.\n\nThe story unfolds in the libertine atmosphere of the 1970s San Francisco\, but the significance of Minnie's effort to understand herself and her world is universal. This is the story of an adolescent troubled by the discontinuity between what she thinks and feels and what she observes in those around her. The Diary of a Teenage Girl offers a searing comment on adult society as seen though the eyes of a young woman on the verge of joining it.\n\nIn this unusual novel\, artist and writer Phoebe Gloeckner presents a pivotal year in a girl's life\, recounted in diary pages and illustrations\, with full narrative sequences in comics form.\n\nPhoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book\, The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2002)\, was praised as \"one of the most brutally honest\, shocking\, tender\, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.\" Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story\, Minnie’s Third Love (published in A Child’s Life and Other Stories) one of the “comicbook masterpieces of all time.”\n\nHer books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.\n\nIn 2008\, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juárez\, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3\,200+ homicides in 2010)\, Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family\, the case of their daughter’s murder\, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.\n\nGloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel- Diary is a hybrid of prose and graphic novel\, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio\, motion\, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic “multi-touch” book offering a “seamless” reading experience\, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole\, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an “enhanced” novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.

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.
