SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons. In her apartment kitchen\, she soldered together tiny\, durable compositions that conveyed stories or visual puns\, and her narrative style emerged. Her work\, often representational\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. An Ann Arbor native\, she has strong family connections to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Woodland Seasons: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Now or Never: Collecting\, Documenting and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history. Kelsey wrote\, “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor\,” no record of these Christian communities would remain.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918. Two Armenian manuscripts that were purchased as a consequence of the expedition are on display.\n\nLecture and opening reception will take place at 4 p.m. on January 14 in the Hatcher Library Gallery\, adjacent to the exhibit.\n\nExhibit materials are courtesy of the Bentley Historical Library and U-M Library Special Collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. 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 was within this Ivory Coast-based company that Dobet met French guitarist Colin Laroche de Féline\, who went there to immerse himself in African melodies and rhythms. Having spent some time in the well-known Tché Tché dance company\, Dobet decided with Colin (in 1999) to form a twosome\, Ano Neko\, which means “Let’s create together“ in Bété language. On stage\, her voice\, her charisma and her huge presence\, the result of several years theatrical and choreographic work\, has great audience appeal.

SUMMARY:Performance:Elliott Brood
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 2002\, Elliott Brood (the name is a bastardized homage to the femme-fatale character in the 1984 baseball film \"The Natural\") united teenage pals Mark Sasso and Casey Laforet over their grown-up love for Neil Young\, The Band and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Stephen Pitkin was an accidental miracle: he fell into the group after working sound at one of their earliest concerts\, offering to record their first EP. \"Tin Type\" was a college radio hit\, and soon this compact trio was making some big noise. Across five subsequent albums\, sharing vocals and trading instruments— each of the band-members seems to play everything—Elliott Brood has become one of the premier acts in Canadian roots music. Their sound is accessible but not mainstream\, alternative but not tragically hip. Elliott Brood comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Work and Love.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons. In her apartment kitchen\, she soldered together tiny\, durable compositions that conveyed stories or visual puns\, and her narrative style emerged. Her work\, often representational\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. An Ann Arbor native\, she has strong family connections to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Woodland Seasons: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Now or Never: Collecting\, Documenting and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history. Kelsey wrote\, “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor\,” no record of these Christian communities would remain.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons. In her apartment kitchen\, she soldered together tiny\, durable compositions that conveyed stories or visual puns\, and her narrative style emerged. Her work\, often representational\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. An Ann Arbor native\, she has strong family connections to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Art of Gesture: Watercolor & Sumi
DESCRIPTION:For Jean L. Thomson\, watercolor in any form comes from both a love of nature and a desire for self-expression. Chinese Sumi painting reinterprets nature in an abstract manner that is similar to the art of calligraphy. Thomson holds a BFA from Syracuse University and for many years exhibited widely from her home studio in St. Michaels\, Maryland. She currently resides in Oakland County.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Woodland Seasons: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Triumph of the human spirit: U-M Life Sciences Orchestra marks MLK Day with free concert
DESCRIPTION:The power of music to express the human spirit\, and triumph over adversity\, will come to life on Sunday\, Jan. 18\, as the University of Michigan Life Sciences Orchestra presents a free concert at Hill Auditorium. \n\nWith themes befitting the eve of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day\, the performance will feature works both famous and less-recognized\, played by an orchestra made up of medical\, health and science faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from across U-M. \n\nU-M president Mark Schlissel will give opening remarks\, as part of U-M’s celebration of MLK’s legacy. \n\nThe concert will begin at 4 p.m.\, and is open to the public with general admission seating. No tickets are required. LSO music director Adrian Slywotzky will give a brief pre-concert lecture about the works on the program at 3:15 p.m.\n\nThe centerpiece of the LSO’s performance will be Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5\, one of the most famous – and stirring – works of all of classical music. Beethoven composed the now-immortal work amid war and political upheaval\, and his own increasing deafness.\n\nThree works by 20th Century American composers will make up the concert’s first half. Most famous among them: Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait”\, which combines uniquely American melodies with excerpts from speeches by Abraham Lincoln.\n\nMore information: http://umhealth.me/lso-115

SUMMARY:Performance:Gregory Alan Isakov
DESCRIPTION:Born in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, raised in Philadelphia\, and calling Colorado home\, Gregory Alan Isakov has been traveling all his life. His songs have a masterful quality beyond his years\, and they tell a story of miles and landscapes\, and the search for a sense of place. Music for Gregory has been a stabilizing and constant force. “I’ve always had this sense about music and writing that I sort of have to do it. Like I’ll implode without it. I probably wouldn’t do it if I felt any other way\,” he says. Gregory Alan Isakov has developed the kind of songcraft that leads to the deepest lyrical masterpieces. With hints of his influences\, Leonard Cohen and Iron and Wine\, he has developed a strong and subtle voice of his own. “It’s impossible to know Isakov and not want to shout his name from the mountaintops\,\" says the Denver Post. Songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff is tonight's special guest.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons.

She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Woodland Seasons: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history. Kelsey wrote\, “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor\,” no record of these Christian communities would remain.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918. Two Armenian manuscripts that were purchased as a consequence of the expedition are on display.\n\nLecture and opening reception will take place at 4 p.m. on January 14 in the Hatcher Library Gallery\, adjacent to the exhibit.\n\nExhibit materials are courtesy of the Bentley Historical Library and U-M Library Special Collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Policing Black Bodies: A dialogue on Poverty\, Police Brutality\, and the Way Out
DESCRIPTION:\"There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights\, \"When will you be satisfied?\" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.\" MLK 1963\, \"I have a dream\" speech.\n\nThe failure to indict the police officers responsible for the deaths of Michael Brown Jr. and Eric Garner has re-ignited public debate about the value of black life. These events exhibit tensions that emerge at the intersection of urban crime control policies\, policing practices and community life for black and brown people in the USA. In the spirit of Dr. King and the long struggle for civil rights\, these events have given rise to new forms of activism. A new generation of students\, organizers\, artists\, and everyday people stage die-ins at their universities\, raise their hands at hip-hop concerts and use their bodies to choke expressways and thoroughfares.\n\nThe panel will lead a dialogue on the underlying racial tensions and the ways in which a new generation of activism can provide a way forward.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons.

She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Woodland Seasons: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:39th Annual Thomas Francis\, Jr. Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Epidemiology at the School of Public Health invites you to join us for our 39th Annual Thomas Francis\, Jr. Memorial Lecture on Tuesday\, January 20\, 2015 at 4 p.m. The lecture will take place at the School of Public Health\, Building 1\, in Auditorium 1755.\n\nThis year’s guest speaker is Dr. Joel Schwartz. Dr. Schwartz is a Professor of Environmental Epidemiology at the School of Public Health at Harvard University.\n\nSummary of Talk:\nThe last 30 years have seen great developments in our understanding of what we want to estimate to draw causal inferences. In general we contrast two potential outcomes\, one of which has not occurred. We seek a surrogate for the unobserved outcome and understanding of the assumptions required for it to be a valid substitute. In general this development has generated alternative approaches in epidemiology and social science. Dr. Schwartz will briefly discuss these\, and illustrate how we can use them to help draw causal inferences for environmental exposures. Dr. Schwartz will look at acute and chronic effects of exposure to particles and temperature\, and at instrumental variables\, propensity scores\, and difference in differences approach.

SUMMARY:Performance:Studebaker John
DESCRIPTION:Studebaker John Grimaldi was born in an Italian-American section of Chicago and started playing harmonica at age seven. Under the spell of music he heard on Maxwell Street\, Chicago’s famed blues melting pot\, he formed Studebaker John & the Hawks and began in the performing in the 1970s. The band name referred to the Studebaker Hawk\, a car Grimaldi still owns today\, and was also intended as a tribute to his friend\, J.B. Hutto and the Hawks. As a songwriter and musician\, Studebaker John has emerged more than a revivalist—he's a major creative force in the world of the blues today. He draws on any number of blues styles\, from the old-time Maxwell Street sound to the hard-rocking barroom blues of the 1960s and 1970s\, making them all his own. He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Waiting on the Sun\,\" that contains 80 minutes of all-original music.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons. In her apartment kitchen\, she soldered together tiny\, durable compositions that conveyed stories or visual puns\, and her narrative style emerged. Her work\, often representational\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. An Ann Arbor native\, she has strong family connections to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Woodland Seasons: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Armenian History as World History—Approaches to Teaching & Methods
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores ways to integrate the teaching of Armenian history within the wider context of World History. Workshop participants will think together about how to teach Armenian history and make it relevant to larger audiences of students coming from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. What methods and approaches can help break the insularity of teaching Armenian History? How can we benefit from new approaches used by global historians to engage students in a rewriting of Armenian history?\n\nThe current state of teaching Armenian history survey courses remains largely confined to the traditional paradigm of kingdom / nation state and remains spatially focused on the territory of historical Armenia. Even though a new generation of scholars move beyond the traditional framing of Armenian history there is a visible lack of textbooks that treat Armenian history within the wider context of world history or incorporate the latest conceptual turns in the field of history.\n\nThe workshop will explore the possibilities of widening the frames of teaching Armenian history. Armenian history presents a significant space to investigate the interconnectedness of world history  – long established literary tradition\, mercantile connections stretching far beyond the immediate socio-spatial milieu traditionally associated with Armenia and Armenians. The location of Armenia / Armenians at the crossroads of a multitude of different empires encompassing Armenia all present possibilities of placing Armenian history within the context of world history. In fact given its reach and continuous recorded history it is surprising how little Armenian history has entered the field of world history.\n\nThe workshop brings together scholars working in three different periods of Armenian history stretching from medieval to the early modern and into the contemporary world in an attempt to discuss discrete approaches to world history within each era.\n\nOrganizer: Arsene Saparov\, lecturer in history\, U-M\n\nWorkshop Participants:\nGerard Libaridian\nSergio La Porte\nSebouh Aslanian

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ta-Nehisi Coates - \"A Deeper Black: Race in America\"
DESCRIPTION:Ta-Nehisi Coates delves into the conflicted and hopeful state of black America today. What does \"black culture\" mean? What is the continuing role of both the older and younger generations in shaping it? Where will gentrification\, education\, and the splintering (or unifying) of families take it? This talk asks the small personal questions as well as the big historic ones.\n\nAn Atlantic senior editor and writer\, Ta-Nehisi Coates has penned many influential articles on race\, masculinity\, and politics. His June 2014 cover story on slavery and race\, \"The Case for Reparations\,\" is one of the most talked-about pieces of nonfiction in recent memory. Last year\, his lively Atlantic blog was named by Time as one of the 25 Best in the World. Coates is a former writer for The Village Voice\, and a contributor to Time\, O\, and The New York Times Magazine. \n\nPresented by the Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG) and the Women’s Studies Department\, the biennial Motorola Lecture exposes students\, faculty\, and the broader community to the work of exceptional journalists and informs students about ways the media can reframe public understanding of complex issues.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Public Meeting: The Paris Shootings Become Pretext for a Renewed \"War on Terror\"
DESCRIPTION:The January 7th attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hedbo\, in which Al Qaeda-affiliated gunmen shot 12 people to death\, has been the impetus for a number of critical political developments. Amid genuine sorrow and shock demonstrated by millions in French demonstrations last week\, state leaders and media conglomerates have utilized the events to pursue and deepen bloody imperialist wars of aggression in Africa and the Middle East\, and destroy basic democratic rights in their home countries.\n \nThe claim that US and European heads of state support “freedom of speech” and “freedom of the press” in their home countries is an outright lie. Since 2003\, under the narrative of a “war on terror\,” US and European governments have rolled back virtually every democratic right\, suppressing any and all opposition to their illegal and unpopular wars. These leaders have bombed and decimated Iraq\, Afghanistan\, Libya\, Syria\, and several other countries\, killing\, wounding and displacing multiple millions of people\, while reducing these countries to social wastelands.\n \nJournalists who have challenged the official narratives of these wars have been hounded and even killed for exposing the brutal realities of these illegal operations. Figures like Julian Assange\, Chelsea Bradley Manning\, and Edward Snowden have exposed – in the best sense of journalistic exposures – massive crimes over the last six years. They have been pursued from country to country or imprisoned by these same supposed defenders of a “free press” for their efforts.\n \nThe events in France also underscore an even more sinister component of the “war on terror”: that in order to offset potential economic and political rivals on the world scene\, such as Russia and China\, European and North American leaders are lurching rapidly to right\, constructing the skeletal framework of a police state. This is being done in anticipation of the need to suppress popular opposition to their anti-democratic assaults and imperialist wars. This lurch to the right is nakedly on display in France\, as the deeply unpopular French President Francois Hollande invited for the first time the neo-fascist political leader Marine Le Pen of the National Front to the Elysee Presidential Palace to discuss a “unity coalition.”\n \nStudents and youth should take these developments as a warning. As they did in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks\, state leaders and their media outlets are utilizing backward and right wing elements to attack the rights and conditions of workers both abroad and at home. These assaults can only be opposed by a massive organization of workers and students in opposition to imperialist war\, and for the conscious struggle for revolutionary socialism.\n \nThe next meeting of the of IYSSE at the University of Michigan will address these developments in more detail\, and we encourage all interested students to attend.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Sterling Characters: Silver Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Betsy Lehndorff began studying silversmithing at a local recreation center in Colorado. She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons. In her apartment kitchen\, she soldered together tiny\, durable compositions that conveyed stories or visual puns\, and her narrative style emerged. Her work\, often representational\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. An Ann Arbor native\, she has strong family connections to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Motion of Standing Still: Porcelain Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Mikey McGhee pushes the familiar medium of the teapot to its limits by sculpting asymmetrical\, gravity-defying works that play with viewers’ expectations. McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

DESCRIPTION:Following a successful career as an attorney and administrative law judge\, Elizabeth Schwartz turned to painting in 1990 and soon received local\, national and international awards for her art. Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history. Kelsey wrote\, “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor\,” no record of these Christian communities would remain.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918. Two Armenian manuscripts that were purchased as a consequence of the expedition are on display.\n\nLecture and opening reception will take place at 4 p.m. on January 14 in the Hatcher Library Gallery\, adjacent to the exhibit.\n\nExhibit materials are courtesy of the Bentley Historical Library and U-M Library Special Collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Dykes\, Dads\, and Moms to Watch out For: The Comics of Alison Bechdel
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for the Humanities is pleased to present the first comprehensive\, curated exhibition of the work of Alison Bechdel\, cartoonist\, graphic memoirist\, and 2014 McArthur \"Genius.\" Bechdel's work explores the overlap of the personal and the political\, \"using the interplay of word and image to weave sophisticated narratives.\" The musical adaptation of her acclaimed graphic memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic\, which originated at the Public Theater\, opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\n\"Alison Bechdel’s comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For has become a countercultural institution among lesbians and discerning non-lesbians all over the planet. And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:INFRAECOLOGI URBANISM EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:The Infra Eco Logi Urbanism exhibition posits an approach and a vision for architecture at the urban scale within the contemporary post-metropolitan condition. The project assembles a multi-year investigation that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America\, and a develops a design proposition to leverage energy and mobility infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends\, addressing questions of politics and urban society.\nThe exhibition is organized as a territory\, gathering a diverse body of work including regional cartographies\, network analyses\, historical research\, writings\, photographs\, design drawings and physical models. In aggregate\, it presents a position from which to apprehend urban questions\, a vision\, a design methodology that operates across scales from the regional to the specific\, and an event around which to discuss regional systems and the role of design in figuring their futures. \nInfra Eco Logi Urbanism is a project\, exhibition and forthcoming publication by RVTR\, a research-based design practice founded by U-M Taubman College architecture associate professor Geoffrey Thün and assistant professor Kathy Velikov\, and Ryerson University architecture chair Colin Ripley. The exhibition was previously on display at Yale University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Precious Earth
DESCRIPTION:From the Private Collection of Janie Paul\nCurator's statement:\nLandscapes give us a place to inhabit. They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Fred Tomaselli: The Times
DESCRIPTION:Even in our digital age of constant information\, the rhythmic cycle of the daily newspaper is still a central form of organizing the world around us. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014
DESCRIPTION:Nearly fifty years after its heyday\, Minimalism is enjoying a resurgence of critical attention\, though much of the focus continues to be on male artists or on a small number of women sculptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition: Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Benjamin Smith\, associate professor of political science\, University of Florida\n\nThe first 14 years of the 21st century have seen the study of the “resource curse” grow from a niche question to a major research agenda with multiple outcomes of interest—regime type\, regime stability\, civil conflict\, and economic growth to name a few. However\, the current state of conclusions reflects little consensus\, making it difficult to develop policy-relevant implications.\n\nThis presentation will outline the origins of this lack of consensus in faulty measurement and present context-sensitive indicators for both oil export dependence\, or rent leverage\, and oil abundance. Smith uses the new measures to explore the effects of oil wealth on political stability. Initial analysis of cross-national data from 1960 to 2009 suggests that rent leverage strongly stabilizes rulers across both time and space. Building on this strong stabilizing effect\, Smith argues that scholars should focus on exploring the causal links\, and policy makers should consider how best to channel the stabilizing effects rather than to treat a nonexistent curse.\n\nBenjamin Smith\, associate professor of political science at the University of Florida\, teaches undergraduate courses in comparative and Asian politics\, ethnicity and nationalism\, post-conflict peace building and the politics of modernity\, and graduate courses on ethnicity and nationalism and research design. His first book\, Hard Times in the Land of Plenty: Oil Politics in Iran and Indonesia\, was published in 2007 by Cornell University Press. Smith’s research has been published in World Politics\, the American Journal of Political Science\, Studies in Comparative International Development\, the Journal of International Affairs\, and other journals and edited volumes.\n\nProfessor Smith’s research focuses on separatist conflicts\, regime change and democratization\, and on the politics of resource wealth. He is currently working on a book exploring the long-term factors that shape the success of separatist movements\, as well as several article-length projects on redistribution and democratic breakdown (with Dan Slater) and on the politics of oil wealth in Southeast Asia and elsewhere. Smith earned his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2002. From 2002 to 2004\, he was an Academy Scholar at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alison Bechdel Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Alison Bechdel is a cartoonist and graphic memoirist exploring the complexities of familial relationships in multilayered works that use the interplay of word and image to weave sophisticated narratives. Bechdel’s command of sequential narrative and her aesthetic as a visual artist was established in her long-running comic strip\, Dykes to Watch Out For (1983–2008)\, which realistically captured the lives of women in the lesbian community as they influenced and were influenced by the important cultural and political events of the day.\n \nGarnering a devoted and diverse following\, this pioneering work was a precursor to her book-length graphic memoirs. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic (2006) is a nuanced depiction of a childhood spent in an artistic family in a small Pennsylvania town and of her relationship with her father\, a high school English teacher and funeral home director. An impeccable observer and record keeper\, Bechdel incorporates drawings of archival materials\, such as diaries\, letters\, photographs\, and news clippings\, as well as a variety of literary references in deep reflections into her own past.\n \nBechdel composes an intricate\, recursive narrative structure that is compelling on both the visual and verbal planes in Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama (2012)\, a meditation on her relationship with her emotionally distant mother seen through the lens of psychoanalytic theory. As in Fun Home\, the images in Are You My Mother? do not always correspond to or illustrate the words\; rather\, they mutually interpret or often tug against each other\, creating a space between them that invites a multiplicity of interpretations. With storytelling that is striking for its conceptual depth and complexity in structure as well as for the deft use of allusion and reference\, Bechdel is changing our notions of the contemporary memoir and expanding the expressive potential of the graphic form.\n \nAlison Bechdel received a B.A. (1981) from Oberlin College. She is the editor of Best American Comics (2011)\, and her comic strip work has been collected in numerous volumes\, most recently The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For (2008). Her work has also appeared in such publications as Slate\, the New York Times Book Review\, McSweeney’s\, Granta\, and The New Yorker.\n\n	Co-hosted by the Penny Stamps School of Art + Design and the Institute for the Humanities. Reception for her new exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities gallery\, and book signing immediately to follow\, at the Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series: Alison Bechdel
DESCRIPTION:Author of Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama\, Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic and the comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For\, graphic novelist Alison Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres. While Dykes to Watch Out For was an explicitly community-based and politically engaged project\, her deeply intimate memoirs about her father’s life before gay rights and her mother’s life before the women’s movement turn a microscopic lens on the internal mechanisms of oppression and liberation. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, Bechdel has drawn comics for Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic was adapted into an award-winning off Broadway play\, and will open at Circle in the Square on Broadway this Spring.\n\nCo-presented with the Institute for the Humanities\, Institute for Research on Women & Gender\, and the Zell Visiting Writers Series. \n\nIn conjunction with the Institute for the Humanities exhibition \"Dykes\, Dads\, and Moms to Watch Out For: The Comics of Alison Bechdel\"\, with an opening reception at the Institute for the Humanities gallery immediately following the lecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Re-fashioning Iran’s Poetic Landscape: Hierarchy and Geography in the Early Qajar tadhkira\"
DESCRIPTION:The reign of Fath-‘Ali Shah Qajar (1797-1834) witnessed an upsurge in the writing of biographical poetry anthologies (sing. tadhkira). The bulk of tadhkiras produced in the first quarter of the nineteenth century CE were commissioned by the shah\, and almost all of them dealt exclusively with the production of Persian poetry in Iran from the fall of the Safavids in the first quarter of the eighteenth century CE\, to the 1820s. Through focusing on the poetry of contemporaries and near contemporaries\, early Qajar anthologists sought to draw a line under the so-called “Indian Style” (sabk-i Hindi) of the Safavid-Mughal period\, and also to appropriate retrospectively the mid-eighteenth-century neoclassical poetic movement which has become known as the Bazgasht-i adabi for the new Qajar polity. This lecture will examine the dynamics at play in two key tadhkiras of the early Qajar period with specific reference to hierarchies of social status\, and the anthologists’ desire to redraw the literary geography of Iran as they saw it.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Translation at Work
DESCRIPTION:As part of its ongoing effort to promote translation in all its forms across campus\, the Dept. of Comparative Literature presents a series of three panels on the practice of literary translation. Campus professionals who all engage with foreign literature in the United States in various capacities will highlight the ways in which\, beyond the work of translators themselves\, a variety of professionals deal with the material implications of promoting foreign literature in this country. This series will allow students (both undergraduate and graduate) to come in contact with people working with literature outside of academia and will thus showcase potential alternatives to an academic career. Each of the three events will consist of a roundtable discussion devoted to a specific professional field and will bring together three speakers. \n\nThis panel features Esther Allen (distinguished translator and writer who co-founded the PEN World Voices Festival in 2005 and currently teaches at Baruch College CUNY and serves on the board of the American Literary Translators Association)\, Laurence Marie (cultural attache at the Embassy of France in the United States and the Head of French Book Office in New York City)\, and Jadranka Vrsalovic-Carevic (director of the New York office of the Institut Ramon Lull\, an agency responsible for the promotion of Catalan language and culture abroad).\n\nThis panel will focus on promoters\, specifically foreign cultural attaches in charge of promoting specific national literatures in the US.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception and Book Signing with Alison Bechdel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reception and book signing with Alison Bechdel immediately following her Stamps Lecture at the Michigan Theater.\n\nThe Institute for the Humanities is pleased to present the first comprehensive\, curated exhibition of the work of Alison Bechdel\, cartoonist\, graphic memoirist\, and 2014 McArthur \"Genius.\" Bechdel's work explores the overlap of the personal and the political\, \"using the interplay of word and image to weave sophisticated narratives.\" The musical adaptation of her acclaimed graphic memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic\, which originated at the Public Theater\, opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\n\"Alison Bechdel’s comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For has become a countercultural institution among lesbians and discerning non-lesbians all over the planet. And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:13th Annual Pallas Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Born in Crete around 1541\, there is no doubt about the ethnic origins of the painter Domenikos Theotokopoulos\, better known as “El Greco” (“The Greek”). And yet the issue becomes much more complex when we take into consideration the painter’s artistic output and the multicultural path that he followed throughout his career. For an artist whose career spanned Crete\, Venice\, Rome\, and Toledo (Spain)\, the issue of his “Greekness” results in something of a conflict. How does an artist’s own self-conception meet the expectations of his audience?
