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:Exhibition:William Lewis: Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 27 - Saturday\, February 21\nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, February 3\, 4:30-6:30 pm\nWork Gallery\, 306 S. State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life.  It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.  But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic.  He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares.  Since then\, these images have been with me.  Fascination?  Yes.  Revulsion?  That\, too.  It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself.  All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis.  “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential.  The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Legible Sovereignties
DESCRIPTION:The past several decades have seen a surge in the creation of Indigenous and Indigenously-oriented museums as way for Native communities and nations to reclaim and tell their histories and cultures from their own perspectives. In seeking multiple audiences with varying cultural backgrounds\, however\, these museums have had to reckon with making their telling legible and relevant to many groups – simply stating “we are still here” is not enough. In this presentation\, King will discuss how the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Haskell Indian Nations University’s Cultural Center and Museum\, and the Saginaw Chippewa Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture and Lifeways have had to rethink and adjust their rhetorical approach to make and to keep their exhibitions relevant to their audiences.\n\nA lecture by Lisa King (U. of Tennessee). Free and open to the public.\n\nWorkshop to precede lecture in Angell Hall 3241. Contact Scott Lyons (lyonssr@umich.edu) for more details.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Beyond Life/Not Life: A Feminist-Indigenous Reading of Cryopreservation Practices and Ethics\, Interspecies Thinking\, and the New Materialisms
DESCRIPTION:Cryopreservation enables storage and preservation of bio-specimens—including those taken from indigenous peoples’ bodies\, often within earlier ethical and racial regimes—into times and spaces beyond those inhabited by the (once) living bodies. New bioethical responses are afoot. But when they emerge from non-indigenous institutions and philosophical terrain they cannot fully address indigenous peoples’ interpretations and ethical needs. Indigenous responses to cryopreservation technologies and practices can be more fully understood not simply by recourse to “bioethics\,” but also by weaving together the approaches of indigenous thinkers historically with newer thinking in indigenous studies\, feminist science studies\, critical animal studies\, and the new materialisms. \n\nThis talk weaves into conversation diverse intellectual threads in order to help us understand how the lines between life and not life\, materiality and the sacred are not so easily drawn for some indigenous peoples. This implicates how we approach from an indigenous standpoint the ethics of the preservation and new use of old biological samples. More fundamentally\, this talk interrogates the underlying concept of “preservation” that emerges from non-indigenous institutions in the form of technological and policy practices. Such practices compartmentalize indigenous history\, bodies\, and landscapes into a historical before and after that undercuts the very idea of indigenous peoples and landscapes as fully alive today.\n\nPresented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender's Feminist Science Studies Program and the Department of Anthropology.

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:Doug Leeds\, CEO of Ask.com
DESCRIPTION:Driverless cars are the next big thing – or are they? As is the case with any transformative technology\, the road to consumer acceptance is paved with difficult challenges—some of which are being tackled right now at U-M. \n\nSurprisingly\, transforming a start-up via mergers and acquisitions (M&A) presents some of those very same challenges\, says Ask.com CEO Doug Leeds\, who has spent over $500 million acquiring companies in just the last few years. Leeds will highlight how the issues facing the designers of the city of tomorrow can prepare entrepreneurs to make their start-ups successful acquisitions today.\n\nDoug Leeds was appointed chief executive officer of Ask.com in 2009. Prior to his current role\, he  was the president and chief executive of Dictionary.com. Before this\, he spent five years at Yahoo! (and Overture Services)\, as Vice President of Global Product Justice\, and held senior positions at mobile ISP OmniSky and mobile carrier Vodafone.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Global Health Symposium. \"From Millennium Development Goals to Sustainable Development Achievements.\"
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations’ agreed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are set to end in 2015. The MDGs were proposed to bridge the social\, economic and health inequalities that exist between countries. Four of these eight goals are health-related in nature: promoting gender equality and empowering women\, reducing child mortality\, improving maternal health\, and combating HIV/AIDS\, malaria\, and other communicable diseases. Collectively\, these reinforce the importance of efficient\, affordable and accessible health-systems to improve the lives of impoverished peoples across the globe. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are set to follow the MDGs in their effort to continue improving the livelihoods of our world’s most disadvantaged peoples. The SDGs are presently being negotiated and will be released in late 2015. A major focus of this symposium will be to learn from the successes and failures of the MDGs so that the next generation of students can be properly prepared to implement the proposed SDGs.\n\nFriday\, February 6\n\n4:30 PM Student Research presentations.\n\n6:00 PM Opening Keynote Presentation: \"Update from the UN Negotiations: Transitioning from the MDG's to the Post-2015 Development Agenda.\"\nRachel C.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mountain Heart
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Heart makes super-powered bluegrass that can tear the house down! Take five of the finest\, most innovative musicians in bluegrass\, influenced by musical sounds from Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Stevie Ray Vaughn\, James Taylor\, and the Dave Matthews Band to George Jones\, Bill Monroe\, Flatt & Scruggs\, Alison Krauss & Union Station\, Ricky Skaggs\, and the David Grisman Quintet—and you've got the dynamic bluegrass music of Mountain Heart.

They're coming to Michigan with a new album almost in the can\, and we're really looking forward to hearing it! Mountain Heart's new lineup: Jim VanCleve\, Josh Shilling\, Aaron Ramsey\, Seth Taylor\, and Jeff Partin.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Global Health Symposium. \"From Millennium Development Goals to Sustainable Development Achievements.\"
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations’ agreed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are set to end in 2015. The MDGs were proposed to bridge the social\, economic and health inequalities that exist between countries. Four of these eight goals are health-related in nature: promoting gender equality and empowering women\, reducing child mortality\, improving maternal health\, and combating HIV/AIDS\, malaria\, and other communicable diseases. Collectively\, these reinforce the importance of efficient\, affordable and accessible health-systems to improve the lives of impoverished peoples across the globe. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are set to follow the MDGs in their effort to continue improving the livelihoods of our world’s most disadvantaged peoples. The SDGs are presently being negotiated and will be released in late 2015. A major focus of this symposium will be to learn from the successes and failures of the MDGs so that the next generation of students can be properly prepared to implement the proposed SDGs.\n\nFriday\, February 6\n\n4:30 PM Student Research presentations.\n\n6:00 PM Opening Keynote Presentation: \"Update from the UN Negotiations: Transitioning from the MDG's to the Post-2015 Development Agenda.\"\nRachel C.

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: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:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:William Lewis: Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 27 - Saturday\, February 21\nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, February 3\, 4:30-6:30 pm\nWork Gallery\, 306 S. State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life.  It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.  But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic.  He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares.  Since then\, these images have been with me.  Fascination?  Yes.  Revulsion?  That\, too.  It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself.  All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis.  “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential.  The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

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:Willie Nile
DESCRIPTION:The New York Times has called Willie Nile \"one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.\" His album “Streets Of New York” was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Bono\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, and Jim Jarmusch are among those who have sung his praises. Willie Nile's live performances\, like his recent razor's-edge set at the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, are legendary. He has toured across the U.S. opening for The Who at the personal request of the band and sung with Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium. Willie was born in Buffalo\, New York\, sings\, plays guitar and piano\, lives in New York City\, and has outstanding parking tickets in many states. Anyone who’s paid attention to his recent work knows that Willie Nile is currently in the midst of a creative renaissance that’s produced some of the mot compelling music of his 35-year career. The tradition continues with his latest release\, the contemplative \"If I Was a River.\"

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: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:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien\, home
DESCRIPTION:Nummer veertien\, home\, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film\, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial\; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace\, in reverse\, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week\, thousand-mile trek of biking\, running\, and swimming\; and the story of Alexander the Great\, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.\n\nThe film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance\, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature\, the interplay of history and geography\, the power of melancholy\, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score\, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings\, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece\, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.        \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Medicinal Plants and Gardens: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag\, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden\, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty\, will continue that legacy\, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines\, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.\nPreceding the garden’s opening\, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens\, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium\, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden\, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei\, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The U-M Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

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: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:Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:One of a pair of brothers who spearheaded a tremendous renaissance in Canadian songwriting in the 1970s and 1980s\, Garnet Rogers tells detailed stories of people from all walks of life and their small\, everyday victories. He can shift from seriousness to razor-sharp wit in a heartbeat\, he can turn songs into remarkable extended james\, and no two of his shows are the same. Nearly six and a half feet tall\, he has a striking stage presence\, and he can mix acoustic and electric textures in a dozen ways. Says Dirty Linen: \"He knows and captures what is real and lasting—the joyous\, contradictory poetry of living\,\" and Canada's Kitchener Record praises his \"visionary songs of haunting and mysterious power.\" Garnet comes to The Ark with \"Summer's End\,\" his first new album of original material since 2004!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Life Line: Scratchboard Etchings
DESCRIPTION:While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art\, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design\, such as composition\, pattern\, texture\, contrast\, line\, etc. Using nature as her muse\, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

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: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:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yasmin Cho\, LRCCS Postdoctoral Fellow\, University of Michigan\n\nTibetan Buddhist revivalism in post-Mao China has been largely discussed in a discourse-oriented and male-lama-focused framework that Dr. Cho calls “architectural thinking.” This framework leads us to systematically ignore the presence and material practices of the nuns who are the major participants in the making of this revivalism. By drawing on ethnographic observations of the nuns’ daily improvisational building practices in Yachen\, she shows how the nuns confront strict governmental spatial restrictions by restructuring the concepts of dwelling and building. I see the nuns’ improvisation in building their huts and tents as reflecting a lifetime of preparedness that is deeply rooted in the gender hierarchies of both Tibetan society and the Tibetan monastic system.\n\nYasmin Cho is a postdoctoral fellow in the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. She received a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University in 2015. Her interests lie primarily in the anthropological understanding of religion with an emphasis on the relationship between materiality and gender in Buddhism. She is currently revising her book manuscript that addresses the mobilities and material engagements of Tibetan Buddhist nuns in post-Mao Buddhist revivalism.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Jews and the Roman Empire: Beyond Resistance/Accommodation Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:It would not be an exaggeration to claim that the complex relations between the Jews and the mighty Roman Empire were one of the factors that determined the course of the world history. The presenters will revisit some of the dichotomies that have been taken for granted\, offering new interpretations of shared practices and discourses in the Roman imperial space. The symposium seeks to explore the variety of ways in which Jews in the Roman Empire competed with\, rejected\, endorsed\, imitated\, and transformed imperial customs\, tropes\, and modes of being in creating the rich literary culture of late antiquity.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Discussants: \nNadine Hubbs (Women's Studies\, Music\, American Culture)\nCharles Garrett (Musicology) \nKaryn Lacy (Afroamerican & African Studies\, Sociology)\nGayle Rubin (Anthropology\, Women's Studies)\n\nNadine Hubbs's Rednecks\, Queers\, and Country Music has been called \"one of the most important scholarly discourses on country music of this decade\" (Wondering Sound) and \"a major reconceptualization of the history and politics of sexuality\" (David Halperin). But the book's \"implications ... go far beyond the social and sexual politics of a popular music form\" (Times Literary Supplement). Presenting a timely\, unstinting\, music-fueled argument on the politics of working-class culture and existence\, Rednecks is \"an important book that is ... as much about moral questions as it is about political\, social\, and cultural concerns\" (Popular Music and Society).\n\nGender: New Works\, New Questions draws attention to new works that engage gender and sexuality\, and are produced by U-M faculty members.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Life Line: Scratchboard Etchings
DESCRIPTION:While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art\, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design\, such as composition\, pattern\, texture\, contrast\, line\, etc. Using nature as her muse\, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

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: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:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien\, home
DESCRIPTION:Nummer veertien\, home\, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film\, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial\; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace\, in reverse\, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week\, thousand-mile trek of biking\, running\, and swimming\; and the story of Alexander the Great\, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.\n\nThe film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance\, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature\, the interplay of history and geography\, the power of melancholy\, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score\, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings\, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece\, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.        \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Medicinal Plants and Gardens: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag\, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden\, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty\, will continue that legacy\, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines\, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.\nPreceding the garden’s opening\, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens\, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium\, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden\, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei\, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The U-M Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Silvia Lindtner\, Assistant Professor of Information\, University of Michigan School of Information\n\nIn a 2013 State of the Union address president Barack Obama stated that open-source 3D printing and “making” will help guarantee “that the next revolution in manufacturing is made in America.” The US president\, here\, speaks to a growing interest in the potential impact of the so-called maker movement on technological innovation and economic development. Around the globe\, governments\, venture capitalists\, and corporates are investing in the open hardware creations of makers including but not limited to wearable technologies\, robotics\, smart home devices and biotech.\n\nIt is China\, however\, that has come to play an increasingly central role in the implementation of these promises of the maker movement. The city of Shenzhen\, in particular\, figures in people’s imaginary as a new innovation hub\, where small- and large-scale players such as makers\, start-ups\, and tech giants like Intel and Foxconn forge new relationships in their quest for a future of making. In this talk\, drawing from long-term ethnographic research\, I will explore how China’s makers are refitting the ideal of hacking as tool for individual empowerment and liberation\, simultaneously challenging and adopting Western stories of what counts as hacking and innovation.  Mobilizing values and practices of Shenzhen’s shanzhai production culture\, China’s makers are driven to demonstrate that “making” is all but a Western import – rather a mode of tech entrepreneurship that has been Chinese all along. They simultaneously appropriate and challenge China’s political discourse of creativity and global definitions of what counts as good innovation and quality design. The city of Shenzhen\, in particular\, came to figure in people’s imaginary as a new innovation hub\, where small- and large-scale entities such as makers\, start-ups\, and tech giants like Intel and Foxconn forge new relationships in their quest for a future of making.\n\nSilvia Lindtner is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in the School of Information. She is also the co-founder of the Shanghai-based research hub Hacked Matter focused on interdisciplinary scholarship on cultures of technology production in China. She researches\, writes and teaches about DIY (do it yourself) maker and hacker culture\, with a particular focus on its intersections with manufacturing and creative industry development in China. Her research explores questions of labor and the reorganization of work\, the relationship between technology production and China’s urban redesign as well as China’s creativity and modernization discourse. Her work is published across the fields of China studies\, media and communication studies\, cultural anthropology\, social computing and human-computer interaction. Lindtner is the recipient of a grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF HCC\, 2013-2016)\, supporting her research on maker and hacker culture in China and the United States. In addition\, her work has been supported by the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation\, two Intel Research grants\, a Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship\, and a Chinese Government Scholarship.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:William Lewis: Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 27 - Saturday\, February 21\nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, February 3\, 4:30-6:30 pm\nWork Gallery\, 306 S. State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life.  It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.  But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic.  He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares.  Since then\, these images have been with me.  Fascination?  Yes.  Revulsion?  That\, too.  It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself.  All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis.  “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential.  The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Misha Friedman\, photographer\n\nThis lecture is for those interested in examining the Why.

He immigrated to the United States in 1991\, when he was 14\, and currently lives in New York. Friedman has a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s in Russian and Post-Soviet studies.

SUMMARY:Performance:Charlie Mars
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi songwriter Charlie Mars was featured in a Vogue magazine feature and has been romantically linked to Mary-Louise Parker\, but he's much more than just a pretty face. His songs are based on simple grooves that express themes of wonderment\, personal self-destruction\, and yes\, sexuality\; they're hardwired to the heart and the hips. Charlie Mars has been a journeyman artist with all the ups and downs that entails\, from major-label releases and high-profile gigs opening for the likes of REM\, KT Tunstall\, Citizen Cope\, Steve Earle\, among others\, from uncertainty to redemption. Now he's more than ready for his first headlining tour\, and he comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"The Money.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Life Line: Scratchboard Etchings
DESCRIPTION:While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art\, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design\, such as composition\, pattern\, texture\, contrast\, line\, etc. Using nature as her muse\, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Storytelling Whimsical Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Story greatly influences the clay sculptures of Leanne Schnepp. By combining animal and human forms and characteristics\, she tells stories of connection and transformation. Humans\, coyotes\, frogs\, and birds interact and “converse\,” and mischievous children become monsters and tumble about. There is a sense of play and whimsy in the work and the opportunity for viewers to use their imagination.

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: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:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Medicinal Plants and Gardens: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag\, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden\, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty\, will continue that legacy\, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines\, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.\nPreceding the garden’s opening\, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens\, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium\, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden\, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei\, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The U-M Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

In Russia there was already language to articulate an idea of belonging to the new state. The Russian Orthodox Church had articulated for ages a religiously-inspired\, elaborate narrative of Russianness. As a result\, the secular state started using religious symbols\, such as saints and icons\, to communicate with its very secular citizens\, particularly concerning the most sensitive topics. Similarly\, in their everyday lives Russian citizens often articulate their banal nationalism using the same religious language.\n\nHow to build a genealogy of the nation? How to deal with the Soviet past? Which land is ours? Who are our enemies and why do they treat us so badly? In the search to find answers to these and similar questions\, many Russian people today turn to the religious vocabulary of Russian Orthodox Christianity. In my talk I will focus of veneration of martyrs in Russia. I will demonstrate how analysis of popular veneration of the Emperor Nikolay II\, new martyrs\, and a hero of the Chechen war\, Evgeny Rodionov\, help us to understand some important features of the popular political imagination in contemporary Russia. \n\nJeanne Kormina is professor of anthropology and religious studies in the Department of Sociology\, Higher School of Economics (St Petersburg\, Russia). Her books in Russian include a monograph Rituals of Departure to the Military Service in Late Imperial Russia (2005) and co-edited volumes Dreams of the Mother of God (2006) and Invention of Religion in Post-Soviet Russia (forthcoming). She has also published many chapters and articles in English and Russian on such topics as Orthodox pilgrimage\, veneration of new saints\, social memory\, and charismatic Christianity in contemporary Russia.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien\, home
DESCRIPTION:Nummer veertien\, home\, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film\, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial\; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace\, in reverse\, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week\, thousand-mile trek of biking\, running\, and swimming\; and the story of Alexander the Great\, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.\n\nThe film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance\, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature\, the interplay of history and geography\, the power of melancholy\, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score\, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings\, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece\, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.        \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:William Lewis: Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 27 - Saturday\, February 21\nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, February 3\, 4:30-6:30 pm\nWork Gallery\, 306 S. State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life.  It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.  But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic.  He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares.  Since then\, these images have been with me.  Fascination?  Yes.  Revulsion?  That\, too.  It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself.  All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis.  “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential.  The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Former Left Becomes the New Right: Syriza and the Greek Elections
DESCRIPTION:After almost five years of ruthless austerity measures\, Greek workers have been left in conditions of poverty and unemployment. Since the introduction of these measures\, Greece’s economy has contracted by 25%\, wages have been cut by more than 30%\, millions have lost medical care\, 6 in 10 young Greeks are unemployed\, and homelessness is soaring.\n\nSyriza\, the self-proclaimed “Coalition of the Radical Left\,” running on an “anti austerity” platform\, exploited the huge discontent of the Greek population to win the recent general elections. Syriza’s victory has been proclaimed by many to be a big step forward for the working class.\n\nThe conceptions that Syriza is ‘leftist’ or even ‘socialist’ are nothing but illusions. The elections were followed by the announcement of a coalition with the Independent Greeks\, a right-wing\, xenophobic party with fascist connections.\n\nSince then\, Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras has gone to great lengths to reassure Europe’s central banks and investors holding Greek debt that Syriza poses no threat to their interests.\n\nThe IYSSE at UM encourages all students and youth to attend our discussion of the significance of Syriza’s victory and the way forward for the working class.

SUMMARY:Performance:Occidental Gypsy
DESCRIPTION:Occidental Gypsy delivers an exhilarating blend of gypsy swing\, jazz and world music with a riff-rich\, roaring acoustic sound and sultry vocals reminiscent of the first era of swing. They offer a multi-genre mix of original vocal and instrumental pieces and with many notable covers like a gypsified take on Michael Jackson’s \"Thriller.\" Their melange of uptempo\, high-energy rhythms of gypsy swing\, melded with catchy melodic hooks and the complex structures of jazz\, delivers an auditory thrill. Occidental Gypsy has shared stages with such greats as Rikki Lee Jones\, Jorma Kaukonen\, Stanley Jordan\, Joe Sample\, Tony Rice\, and David Bromberg. They keep feet stomping with beats and complex rhythms that we think will keep you coming back for more!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Life Line: Scratchboard Etchings
DESCRIPTION:While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art\, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design\, such as composition\, pattern\, texture\, contrast\, line\, etc. Using nature as her muse\, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

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: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:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien\, home
DESCRIPTION:Nummer veertien\, home\, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film\, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial\; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace\, in reverse\, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week\, thousand-mile trek of biking\, running\, and swimming\; and the story of Alexander the Great\, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.\n\nThe film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance\, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature\, the interplay of history and geography\, the power of melancholy\, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score\, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings\, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece\, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.        \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Medicinal Plants and Gardens: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag\, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden\, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty\, will continue that legacy\, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines\, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.\nPreceding the garden’s opening\, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens\, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium\, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden\, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei\, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The U-M Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mieko Yoshihama\, Professor\, U-M School of Social Work\n\nAbstract: Since the 2011 triple disasters of earthquakes\, tsunami\, and nuclear power plant accidents in northern Japan\, over 50 women have participated in the PhotoVoice Project\, an ongoing participatory action research aimed at improving the national and local disaster policies and their implementation.  Repeated photo-taking and interactive discussions have created communicative space where women grieve and grow in groups while conducting environmental assessments and taking various social actions using art\, in the form of photography and narratives\, which have stimulated collective\, critical consciousness among and beyond participants.  This presentation weaves together the process\, outcome\, and impact of the project along with an examination of theoretical\, methodological and ethical issues.\n                                                                                    \n Speaker Bio: Mieko Yoshihama\, Ph.D.\, LMSW\, ACSW is a professor in the School of Social Work at the University of Michigan.  Her research and teaching focus on the prevention of gender-based violence and the promotion of the safety and wellbeing of marginalized populations and communities.  In 2011\, Dr. Yoshihama co-founded the Women's Network for East Japan Disaster and conducted a study of gender-based violence in the wake of the disaster\, while also creating what has evolved into the PhotoVoice Project\, Inc. (photovoicejapan.org).

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developing a multi-center EHR-linked 'enhanced' registry to support care management\, quality improvement\, and research
DESCRIPTION:Keith Marsolo\, PhD\, is an Associate Professor at the Children’s Hospital Research Foundation in Cincinnati and Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.  Dr. Marsolo is also heavily involved in a number of national data sharing initiatives\, including several that are part of PCORI’s National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network.\n\nWith funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ)\, and in collaboration with the ImproveCareNow Network\, Keith Marsolo\, PhD and his team developed a proof-of-concept architecture for a network-based Learning Health System.  This involved the transition of an existing registry to one that is linked to the electronic health record (EHR)\, which enabled a \"data in once\" strategy. They also worked to automate a series of reports that support care improvement while demonstrating the use of observational registry data for comparative effectiveness research.  This talk will describe the results of their work\, lessons learned\, and opportunities that could help accelerate progress for future networks.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:William Lewis: Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 27 - Saturday\, February 21\nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, February 3\, 4:30-6:30 pm\nWork Gallery\, 306 S. State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life.  It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.  But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic.  He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares.  Since then\, these images have been with me.  Fascination?  Yes.  Revulsion?  That\, too.  It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself.  All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis.  “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential.  The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis.  “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential.  The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.

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:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Arzoo Osanloo\, associate professor\, Law\, Societies\, and Justice Program\, University of Washington\n\nIranian penal codes permit the family of the victim in homicide cases to pursue retributive sanctioning or forgo it. Despite penal codes that encourage reconciliation\, the state has very little formal regulation over it. This difficult decision is left up to families. Over the years\, however\, numerous stake holders have emerged to attempt to bring about reconciliation and to persuade families of victims to forgo retribution. This lecture explores this unregulated spaces of \"forgiveness work\" that has emerged in the context of Iran's criminal sanctioning system. Through a study of a traveling theatrical production about capital punishment\, this talk excavates the social\, political\, and religious contexts of this forgiveness work and explores its complex array of meanings and effects for the different parties involved.\n\nArzoo Osanloo is an associate professor at the University of Washington’s Law\, Societies\, and Justice Program. She holds a PhD in cultural anthropology from Stanford University and JD from American University\, Washington College of Law. Her research and teaching focus on the intersections of law and cultural practice especially with respect to human rights. Her book\, The Politics of Women’s Rights in Iran (Princeton University Press\, 2009)\, analyzes the politicization of \"rights talk\" and women’s subjectivities in Iran. She is currently working on a second manuscript that examines the Islamic mandate of forgiveness\, compassion\, and mercy and how these ideas take shape within Iran’s criminal sanctioning system. Her publications appear in numerous edited volumes and peer-reviewed academic journals\, including American Ethnologist\, Cultural Anthropology\, Political and Legal Anthropology Review\, and Iranian Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jewish Constantinople at the End of Empires
DESCRIPTION:Frankel Institute Detroit Lecture Series on Jews and Empires\n\nOn October 30\, 1918\, the Ottoman Empire signed the Mudros Armistice\, ending its involvement in World War I\, and signaling the end of an empire that had existed for half a millennium. For the next five years\, Allied forces would occupy the Ottoman capital of Constantinople\, the fate of the empire\, the city\, and its inhabitants hanging in limbo. Constantinople was the home of some 90\,000 Jews\, the majority of whom were Sephardi Ottomans\, but which also included substantial Italian and Habsburg Ashkenazi communities. It also became a temporary home to thousands of Jews from Russia fleeing the pogroms that accompanied the Russian Civil War. In turn\, American Jewish representatives of the Joint Distribution Committee sought to help the plight of Russian Jewish refugees and Constantinopolitan Jews alike\, but were often confounded by intra-Jewish strife. This talk explores how diverse Jewish groups and individuals within Constantinople contended with the end of empires and the ways in which Jewish and imperial identities collided and coalesced within the erstwhile Ottoman capital.
