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: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: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:Human Rights Initiative Lecture. \"International Law and the Abolition of Torture.\"
DESCRIPTION:International law has developed a remarkably complete normative framework designed to prevent and to punish torture as an international crime\, as well as some mechanisms to implement obligations that\, unfortunately\, are not regularly observed in practice.  In addition to the absolute and non-derogable prohibition on torture as well as on cruel\, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment\, international law imposes an obligation on all States to investigate\, prosecute and punish each act of torture or ill-treatment\, to reveal the truth about such practices\, to exclude evidence obtained under torture from any proceedings against the victim\, and to offer reparations and rehabilitation. This lecture will highlight some challenges that experience presents to the effective realization of these important standards.\n\nJuan E. Méndez is Professor of Human Rights Law in Residence at the American University-Washington College of Law and the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel\, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment since November 2010.\n\nHe is the author – with Marjorie Wentworth – of Taking a Stand (New York: Palgrave-MacMillan\, October 2011). He has been an advisor on crime prevention to the Prosecutor\, International Criminal Court. In 2010 and 2011 he was also Co-Chair of the Human Rights Institute of the International Bar Association.\n\nUntil May 2009 he was the President of the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) and Scholar-in-Residence at the Ford Foundation in New York (summer 2009). Concurrent with his duties at ICTJ\, he was Kofi Annan’s Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide (2004 to 2007). Between 2000 and 2003 he was a member of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of American States\, and served as its President in 2002.\n\nHe has taught international law and human rights at Oxford University (UK)\, Notre Dame Law School (USA)\, Georgetown and the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. He worked for Human Rights Watch in Washington and New York (1982-1996) and as Executive Director of the Inter-American Institute on Human Rights in San Jose\, Costa Rica (1996-1999).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Theatre\, Nightlife\, and Literary Adventure in Nineteenth- Century Beijing
DESCRIPTION:The lively world of Beijing opera continues to be a productive source of inspiration for Chinese and foreign literary and cinematic imagination. That this inspiration remains so powerful\, despite the dwindling number of aficionados\, is testament to the energy that at one time animated scenes both on- and off-stage and in-between—energy that was both social and aesthetic. Responding to recent theory concerned with the performativity of social life\, particularly within history and gender studies\, Dr. Wu and Dr. Stevenson will discuss important lessons from the Chinese experience that will enrich the study of history and theatre more generally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infra Eco Logi Urbanism Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A gallery talk and reception will take place on Wednesday\, January 21\, 2015. Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe 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. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Performance:ComCo presents: Is Dad Okay?
DESCRIPTION:**ComCo's January Improv Comedy Show- $2- This Friday- Angell Hall Aud A**This year the film \"Boyhood\" surprised critics and entertained audiences with its dedication and realism. Filmed over 12 years\, the audience experiences the transition of one random kid from childhood to adulthood. But the film left many questioning\, what comes next? Filmed over the next 60 years\, the sequel to \"Boyhood\"\, \"Fatherhood\" details the life of a college student as he grows up and becomes a father and then a grandfather. \"Fatherhood\" asks the really important questions\, one of them being\, \"Is dad okay?\" *Spoiler Alert* He's not. The film ends tragically with the death of the main actor\, who had his actual funeral filmed for the movie. Critics are hailing the movie as:\"True dedication. I mean most of the crew died of old age during the shooting... they went through five directors.\"-New York Times\"Kinda creepy\"-Me\"Just okay. Too long. It's like 10 hours long.\"Jackson Miles (5th director of film)\"Wait\, was it a documentary or not?\"-Michigan Daily

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Student Astronomical Society Open House
DESCRIPTION:We can only set up the telescopes and open the observatory if it's clear out. We still run observatory tours\, presentations\, and planetarium shows\, rain or shine. Weather Channel ForecastFacilities include a 0.4 meter Ritchey-Chretien reflector in the main observatory\, as well as one or two 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrains set up on the rooftop. From light-polluted Ann Arbor the best subjects for viewing are typically the planets\, the moon\, the constellations\, and colorful binary star systems. We also can show you a few of the brighter nebulae\, star clusters\, and galaxies in the sky. Visitors are encouraged to bring binoculars and lots of questions for the undergraduates. Keep in mind that the objects we can observe depend on the time of year so there are new things to see at each open house!Angell Hall is also home to a planetarium\, installed in August 2004. It projects more than 7000 stars\, the sun\, the moon\, the planets\, the milky way\, and star clusters. Come see what the night sky looks like without light pollution! Planetarium shows are held during all open houses rain or shine. The first planetarium show starts at about 10 minutes after the scheduled start date for the open house and each show lasts approximately 35 minutes.Our planetarium is wheelchair accessible\, as well as the roof. At this present time\, our telescopes are not wheelchair accessible.Any questions regarding open houses should be sent to sas-officers@umich.edu

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. 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:Exhibition:Infra Eco Logi Urbanism Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A gallery talk and reception will take place on Wednesday\, January 21\, 2015. Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe 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. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Performance:Paula Cole
DESCRIPTION:Grammy winner Paula Cole has released six solo albums over her 20-year career. She has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton. Poetic and fiercely touching\, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock\, Annie Lennox\, and Katherine McPhee\, to name a few. From a small town in Massachusetts\, Paula Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close. She is a scholarship alumna from Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz\, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined)\, and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans\, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows. As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the Best Producer Grammy nomination (for her work on “This Fire”)\, Paula has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top-ten hits of the 1990s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums\, Paula Cole continues to write\, produce\, record\, and perform heartfelt\, meaningful\, lasting music that defies categorization.

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: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: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:Guided Tour: 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 front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history\, and creates 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. His collages make connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space challenging the supposed objective reality of the newspaper. Join UMMA docents in an exploration of Tomaselli’s subjective surreality.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guided Tour: 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 painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them. As opposed to male practitioners who favored oversized works with grandiose themes\, women Minimalists took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative. Join UMMA docents as they explore this take on the Minimalist heritage.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infra Eco Logi Urbanism Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A gallery talk and reception will take place on Wednesday\, January 21\, 2015. Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe 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. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Performance:Black Jake & The Carnies
DESCRIPTION:Black Jake & the Carnies set fierce murder ballads\, dark warnings\, and a certain tough rust-belt revivalism to the beat of an old-time string band. This octet offers a unique blend of Americana\, bluegrass\, and punk\, as well as a stage show that can be very unpredictable (you may have foam rubber balls thrown at you if past performance is any predictor of future results. Steve Leggett of the All Music Guide writes that Black Jake plays \"a kind of raucous acoustic Americana that tosses post-modern Appalachian murder ballads\, Irish drinking songs\, skewed\, twisted love songs and general cautionary tales into a stylistic blender that has them sounding like nothing so much as a maverick\, hopped-up punk polka band in full 21st-century everything-fits jug band mode\"—and that just about covers it! The Carnies are from Ypsilanti\, but with performances at Nashville's Music City Roots and beyond\, their dark legend is spreading.

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: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: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:Lecture / Discussion:Emergent Research: Systematic Reviews
DESCRIPTION:Informationists Mark MacEachern and Whitney Townsend\, Taubman Health Sciences Library\, give an overview of the systematic review publication type and discuss appropriate literature search methodologies\, while also describing their experiences working on these project teams and teaching a grant-supported CE workshop for librarians on the topic.\n\nA systematic review is a type of research publication that has become an integral part of the health sciences and other fields. As a publication that relies heavily on literature searches\, systematic reviews provide information professionals with an opportunity to significantly contribute to and impact the resulting research. A special focus will be placed on the flow and management of information through the systematic review process\, and on the role of librarians in the identification\, production\, and assessment of these research publications.\n\nEmergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

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: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:Presentation:Saving Patient Ryan — Can Advanced Electronic Medical Records Make Patient Care Safer?
DESCRIPTION:Zia Hydari is a Research Scientist at the Carnegie Mellon University\, where he received a PhD in Industrial Administration (Business Technologies) in December 2014. His research interests are in the economics of information systems in the healthcare context.\n\nAbstract: Patient safety is one of the foremost problems in US healthcare\, affecting hundreds of thousands of patients and costing tens of billions of dollars every year. Advanced electronic medical records (EMRs) are widely expected to improve patient safety\, but the evidence of advanced EMRs' impact on patient safety is inconclusive. A key challenge to evaluating EMRs' impact on safety has been the lack of reliable and comprehensive data. We overcome this challenge by constructing a panel of Pennsylvania hospitals over 2005-2012 using data from several sources. In particular\, we source confidential patient safety data from the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority (PSA). Since mid-2004\, Pennsylvania state law has mandated that hospitals report a broad range of patient safety events to the PSA. Using a differences-in-differences identification strategy\, we find that advanced EMRs lead to a 27 percent decline in patient safety events. This overall decline is driven by declines in several important subcategories — 30 percent decline in events due to medication errors and 25 percent decline in events due to complications. Our results hold against a number of robustness checks\, including\, but not limited to\, falsification test with non-clinical IT and falsification test with a subcategory of events that is not expected to benefit from advanced EMRs. Overall\, we provide evidence to policy makers\, hospital administrators\, and other stakeholders that hospitals' adoption of advanced EMRs improves patient safety.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:The Positive Links Speaker Series 2014-15 season features contributing authors of \"How To Be a Positive Leader: Small Actions\, Big Impact.\" (howtobeapositiveleader.com)\n\nPositive leaders are able to dramatically expand their people’s—and their own—capacity for excellence. And they accomplish this without enormous resources or huge heroic gestures. Leading scholars describe how this is being done at organizations such as Wells Fargo\, Ford\, Kelly Services\, Burt’s Bees\, Connecticut’s Griffin Hospital\, the Michigan-based Zingerman’s Community of Businesses\, and many others. Like the butterfly in Brazil whose flapping wings create a typhoon in Texas\, you can create profound positive change in your organization through simple actions and attitude shifts. Please join us to learn how.\n\nScott Sonenshein (www.ScottSonenshein.com) is an Associate Professor of Management at the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University\, where he teaches course in change and leadership. His studies examine the resourceful actions of employees to advance organizational and social/ethical change. He has conducted research in settings ranging from fashion to food trucks\, banks to booksellers\, and entrepreneurs to environmentalists. This work illuminates the skill\, agency\, and motivation of individuals to contribute to change and the corresponding organizational practices that foster these outcomes. He currently serves as an Associate Editor at the Academy of Management Journal.

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.

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.

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: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: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:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Elif Akçetin\, Dept. of History\, University of Illinois at Chicago\n\nPawnbrokers in the Qing dynasty (1636-1912) compiled handbooks to guide apprentices on how to appraise the myriad of goods that flowed into their shop every day\, how to distinguish the fake from the real\, and the beautiful from the ugly. But as we analyze the handbooks in more detail\, we discover that pawnbrokers did not simply teach the secrets of their trade\; they negotiated cultures. By taking furs as a case study\, this paper explores how pawnbrokers classified and spoke of furs\, and how\, through this process\, they integrated them into a Chinese system of taste and value.\n\nElif Akçetin received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington. She teaches and researches at the Department of History\, University of Illinois at Chicago. Her research focuses on the social and cultural history of early modern China and combines history with anthropological approaches. Today’s talk on pawnshop handbooks is a part of her project on consumption and material culture in the Qing dynasty.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Danger and Difference: The Stakes of Hebephilia
DESCRIPTION:In 2008 the diagnostic category of “hebephilia” (erotic preference for \"pubescent children\,\" or young adolescents) was suggested for inclusion in the fifth edition of the \"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders\" (DSM-5\, published May 2013). Immediately a vehement debate arose over whether or not this condition should be considered a disease\, and in 2012 the proposal to include hebephilia in DSM-5 was finally rejected. \n\nIn this talk Patrick Singy argues that the debate about the diagnostic validity of hebephilia was profoundly misguided. Diagnosis of hebephilia plays a role in “sexually violent predator” (SVP) laws\, which can preventively deprive “dangerous” people of their liberty if\, and only if\, they are deemed mentally ill—for instance\, by suffering from hebephilia. Singy contends that the legal requirement of mental illness for the application of SVP laws serves both to identify the most dangerous people and\, more covertly\, to define them as quasi-animals\, outside humanity\, and thus to safeguard the laws' constitutionality in a liberal context. According to Singy the requirement fails on both counts\, and the debate over hebephilia should have targeted this unsound requirement itself. Instead\, because it focused on the issue of diagnostic validity\, the hebephilia debate rested implicitly on an acceptance of the requirement of mental illness for application of SVP laws.  \n\nCosponsored by the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop\, Doing Queer Studies Now.

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.

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: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: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: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:The Literary Adventures of Silver in Early Modern China
DESCRIPTION:During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644)\, silver circulated alongside government-issued copper coins and paper bills\, but by the middle of the sixteenth century people had begun to lose faith in Ming currency and the greater part of the Chinese economy converted to silver. China produced a negligible quantity of silver\, so it had to be imported in exchange for boatloads of Chinese silks and porcelain. In its double role as both “money” – a readily accepted medium of exchange – and “commodity” – a thing containing its own value that fluctuated based on demand – silver circulated at a dizzying pace in China.\n\nPopular anecdotes and fictional narratives from seventeenth-century China reveal some of the ways silver and the objects whose value it represented and contained were imagined and depicted. These accounts show that silver’s status as currency in China\, combined with its nearly universal purchasing power\, generated considerable anxiety about social and familial relations and the constitution of moral action. At the same time\, the increasing speed of silver’s circulation gave rise to uneven commoditization of things\, which led people to revise their assumptions about the place of the Ming empire in the world. In this talk\, Professor Kile will explore some written accounts of silver and circulating things to show some of the ways people in the Ming empire conceived of value during this transitional period and how they reevaluated the position of “China” in a changing world.

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: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: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:Infra Eco Logi Urbanism Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A gallery talk and reception will take place on Wednesday\, January 21\, 2015. Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe 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. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Matter of Contention: Relics of the Biblical Past Between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity\,\" Ra'anan Boustan\, University of California\, Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: During the period of late antiquity (ca. 200–800 CE)\, Jews and Christians in the Mediterranean world were fascinated by the fate of artifacts associated with sacrificial cult of the Jerusalem Temple and the royal house of ancient Israel. The presence of such objects—as word\, image\, relic\, or replica—had the capacity to imbue people\, places\, and ritual practices with authority and even sanctity. This paper explores how such “biblical” artifacts were recruited into a variety of often competing religious or ideological projects\, but also how they helped to generate shared idioms of power that crossed religious and social boundaries. Contestation between Jews and Christian over the ownership\, function\, or meaning of these objects also illuminates how religious communities shape each other’s understandings of sacred matter and even of materiality itself.\n\nRa‘anan Boustan is an Associate Professor in the Ancient and Jewish history fields in the Department of History at UCLA. Boustan is a historian of religion whose research and teaching focus on the dynamic intersections between Judaism and other Mediterranean religious traditions\, with a special interest in the impact of Romanization and Christianization on Jewish culture and society in late antiquity. Boustan is the author of From Martyr to Mystic: Rabbinic Martyrology and the Making of Merkavah Mysticism (2005)\, has published widely in leading journals such as The Jewish Quarterly Review\, Jewish Studies Quarterly\, and Medieval Encounters. He has also co-edited eight volumes\, most recently a special issue of the journal Archiv für Religionsgeschichte on “Authoritative Traditions and Ritual Power in the Ancient World” (forthcoming 2015). He is currently writing a book entitled The Holy Remains: Tokens of Cult and Kingship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity\, which traces the history of sacred objects associated with the ancient Israelite past within Jewish and Christian cultures in late antiquity.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:My Hummus is Bigger Than Your Hummus: Food and Politics in Israel
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dafna Hirsch\, Department of Sociology\, Political Science and Communication\,The Open University of Israel\n\nDescription: How has the Arab dish of hummus become a (Jewish) Israeli passion? And how should we think of the relationship between the field of politics and practices of food consumption? While the Israeli appropriation of hummus\, and other Arab dishes\, appears like a clear case of “culinary colonialism\,” I argue that although the culinary field is not detached from politics\, consumption and signification patterns do not simply reflect political relations. Rather\, they are shaped by the articulation of several power structures\, the relationship between Jews and Arabs being only one of them. Focusing on the case study of hummus\, this lecture will emphasize the role of various agents and cultural intermediaries in promoting both consumption and signification patterns of the dish\, one of the most important among them being the food industry.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dafna Hirsch is a faculty member at the Department of Sociology\, Political Science and Communication at the Open University of Israel\, and currently a visiting scholar at the Department of Nutrition\, Food Studies\, and Public Health and The Taub Center for Israel Studies at NYU. Her studies focus on the culture of everyday life in Mandate Palestine and Israel in historical perspective. Her book 'We Are Here to Bring the West': Hygiene Education and Culture Building in the Jewish Community of Mandate Palestine just came out in Hebrew.
