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:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Uncanny Valley
DESCRIPTION:Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker\n(collaboratively working under the name Future Retrieval)\n\nThe objects presented merge the strengths of our studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. Ornament and detail collide with a fascination of taxidermy and natural order. Each object contains a history\, reaching back and highlighting ideals of time and labor.\nThree-dimensional scans and photographs have been rapid prototyped\, processed in the studio\, and molded into porcelain mimicking the world of European decorative arts. Inspired also by German animal sculptures and cut silhouettes\, we are using digital translation to both highlight and transform these details that fascinate us. The interest in new technologies and industrial methods is that each piece is handmade\, but maintains the record of a computer driven interpretation. Our intention is to make art objects that reference design and are held together by craft.\n\nBio \nFuture Retrieval\n\nGuy Michael Davis was born in 1978 and raised in Bartlesville\, OK. Katie Parker was born in 1980 in Jonesboro Arkansas\, and grew up in Plano\, Texas. They both attended the Kansas City Art Institute from 1999-2003 and received BFA degrees in ceramics.\nKatie went straight to graduate school at The Ohio State University from 2003-2005\, Guy followed suit three years later from 2006-2008. Both Katie and Guy received MFA degrees in ceramics. \nCurrently\, Katie is an Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati\, running the ceramics department. Guy works for multiple designers across the country\, and is an adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati. For several years\, they have also been collaborating together\, making objects that combine new technology\, porcelain\, and good craft. The objects merge the strengths of their individual studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. They have exhibited both nationally and internationally\, with recent shows in New York City\, Jingdezhen China\, Cardiff Wales\, Philadelphia\, Kansas City\, and Tempe Arizona. This summer they were both artists in residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha\, NE.

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:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

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:Presentation:Faculty Candidate Talk: People\, Policy\, and Practice in the Learning Health System: A vision for the next generation
DESCRIPTION:Jodyn Platt\, MPH\, PhD is a research investigator in the Department of Learning Health Sciences within the Medical School and in the Department of Health Management and Policy within the School of Public Health.\n\nThe next generation of health information technology\, organized as a “learning health system\,” promises efficient\, engineered solutions to the well-known and enduring maladies of the existing U.S. health infrastructure: escalating costs\, poor health outcomes\, ineffective use of technology\, sluggish research pipelines\, dangerous medical error rates\, and failure to implement known clinical best practices. A learning health system would enable continuously and rapidly operating virtuous cycles of health improvement through study\, feedback\, and change by capitalizing on increasing amounts of digital health data. This presentation examines the significance and role of public engagement and public trust in the emerging learning health system.  It further considers how research in this area can inform stable policy platforms that will contribute to meeting the vision of the learning health system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:We Heart Malolos: Cultural Heritage Preservation/Tourism in Malolos\, Bulacan\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kale Fajardo\, associate professor of American Studies and Asian American Studies\, University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities\n\nMalolos\, Bulacan\, Philippines was at the heart of Philippine nationalism and nation-building at the end of the 19th Century. The town (now city) was the site of the 1898 constitutional convention and the first Philippine Republic was established in Malolos\, at the sanctuary of the Barasoain Church. Additionally\, the convent at the Malolos Cathedral served as the presidential palace for the first Philippine President\, Emilio Aguinaldo. In this way\, Malolos is seen as “the birthplace of the first constitutional republic in Asia.” In 2011\, a leading cultural heritage preservation non-governmental organization (NGO)\, Heritage Conservation Society (based in Manila) threatened to remove Malolos from the Philippines’s lists of historical and cultural heritage and resources because the organization alleged\, “there were no efforts done by the local government and the people to preserve the marked structures.” This lecture addresses the problems and possibilities of cultural heritage preservation/tourism efforts (including architectural preservation) in contemporary Malolos. In particular\, Fajardo will discuss how “Manila-fication” or urbanization impacts cultural heritage preservation/tourism efforts in Malolos\, as well as increased out-migration and increased local population densities\, real estate developments\, flooding resulting from climate change\, and Philippine neoliberal economic policies. The lecture is based on participant-observation research and public education efforts Fajardo has been conducting and coordinating in Malolos in partnership with The Women of Malolos Foundation – a cultural heritage advocacy NGO\, and Bahay-Saliksikan ng Bulacan (The Center for Bulacan Studies) at Bulacan State University.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nBorn in Malolos\, Bulacan\, Philippines and raised in Portland\, Oregon\, Kale Bantigue Fajardo is an associate professor of Asian/American Studies at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities. Fajardo completed his undergraduate degree at Cornell University where he studied Southeast Asian Studies/Philippine Studies and feminist studies. Fajardo completed his PhD in cultural anthropology from the University of California\, Santa Cruz. His first book\, Filipino Crosscurrents: Seafaring\, Masculinities and Globalization was published by the University of Minnesota Press (2011). Filipino Crosscurrents was one of only two books published outside of the Philippines selected by the University of the Philippines Press for reprinting for a Philippine and Southeast Asian audience (2013). He has a forthcoming essay – “Queering and Transing the Great Lakes: Filipino/a Tomboy Masculinities and Manhoods Across Waters\,” in an special issue of GLQ\, titled Queering the Middle: Race\, Region and a Queer Midwest. Fajardo has published other essays in Figures of Southeast Asian Modernity (2013)\; GLQ: Gay and Lesbian Studies Quarterly (2008) and Mains'l Haul (2002). He is currently conducting on-going advocacy-research on cultural heritage preservation/tourism in Malolos and is collaborating with cultural heritage preservation/tourism advocates and cultural workers in his hometown to produce a series of public education/anthropology events that center around cultural heritage preservation/tourism efforts in Malolos. This research and public education is funded by a two-year Grant-in-Aid of Research\, Scholarship\, and Artistry from the Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:David Baysunghur’s Model Books: Making Manuscripts in Early Fifteenth-Century Herat
DESCRIPTION:Timurid prince Baysunghur (d. 1433)\, son of Shahrukh\, grandson of Timur\, has long been recognized as both generous patron and accomplished practitioner of art and literature. The effects of a rich corpus of written sources in Persian and the objects made for him—a personal library of finely made manuscripts—have led scholars to attribute to him creative agency and aesthetic adjudication. While the lecture questions this formulation\, its chief concern is to reconsider the achievements of artists in the Herat workshop (kitabkhana) and the new kinds of books that they made. Baysunghur’s books were not only marked by technical accomplishment and formal coherence across media but by the studied emulation of selected artistic traditions throughout Greater Iran. The lecture gauges the implications and effects of these choices upon the beholder.\n\nDavid J. Roxburgh is Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Professor of Islamic Art History at Harvard University where he has taught since he received the Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania in 1996. In his publications\, Roxburgh has pursued several interests—including aesthetics and the history of reception—and approaches to the study of art history.

SUMMARY:Performance:Green Operas
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Cheek and Steven McGhee\, music directors\n\nRobert Swedberg’s Opera Studio classes are presenting performances of two one-act versions of Mozart operas: La Finta Giardiniera\, written by 18-year-old Mozart and titled\, in this version\, Love in the Garden State\, sung in Italian with English dialogue\; and La Clemenza di Tito\, written in Mozart’s last year\,  also sung in Italian. Both operas will be presented at each performance and will feature both undergraduate and graduate level students. This is the seventh year that U-M is presenting Green Operas as part of the Opera Studio program. Green Operas are designed to reduce the energy consumption associated with theatrical presentation by using mostly projected scenery\, or otherwise recycled materials for scenic elements and costumes\; LED lights\; musical scores printed on recycled paper\; and the avoidance of printed advertising or programs\, offering\, instead\, a QR code link to a website for smart-phones. These efforts reduce energy consumption for these performances by as much as 95% relative to similar productions in similar venues without green economies.

SUMMARY:Performance:Luke Wade
DESCRIPTION:You've heard Luke Wade on \"The Voice.\" Now get to know him better! Luke's music attempts to reflect honestly the human condition. Such a calling requires a humility and self-awareness that seldom find an artist until late in his career\, when he’s turned the corner from idealistic to philosophical. Often young singer-songwriters aspire to draw a picture with words\, a melodic expression of the visual\, hoping to capture a single meaningful moment in time. Luke aspires to capture our journey through it—and his sophomore album\, “The River\,\" speaks to a brilliant departure on that journey.

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:Conference / Symposium:Michigan/Mellon Symposium on The Egalitarian Metropolis
DESCRIPTION:Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning along with the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts presents this inaugural Michigan/Mellon symposium.\n\nContemporary thinking on egalitarianism has focused on the flattening of social hierarchies\, altering systemic obstacles to equality\, radically transforming institutions that uphold exclusive access to collective resources and critiques of market capitalism. This inaugural Michigan/Mellon symposium explores the following themes as a way of opening up a new integration between contemporary urban design and humanities discourse: Rethinking Modern Orthodoxy\; Privatization and the Commons\; Capital and Justice\; and Political Space of Media. Participants will move between ideological discussion and locally specific conditions and between the pragmatic and the speculative. Envisioned as a roundtable\, our symposium is intended to maximize discussion. Each panelist will prepare brief presentations addressing a topic s/he believes to be especially significant. Panelists may focus on the program’s three main cities (Detroit\, Mexico City\, and Rio de Janeiro)\, or they may discuss related cities as well. We expect this will generate a myriad of useful points from which a productive discussion will take place.\n\nThe Michigan/Mellon Project on Egalitarianism and the Metropolis is a 4-year academic and research initiative focused on architecture\, urbanism and humanities research in Detroit\, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. It is made possible by a $1.3 million grant from the A. W. Mellon Foundation. The project allows design theory and practice to inform and be informed by questions of social justice\, social movements and transformative creative arts movements--both past and present. The emphasis on cities and their specificity will focus humanists on linking theories of human interaction and collective life with the physical space of a city and its histories. The increased expertise in urbanism allows for humanists to better understand the market forces and economic constraints that inform design decisions that directly affect human life.\n\nEgalitarianism remains a useful framework for examining the contemporary metropolis because it contains a theory of value based on both the inherent equality of individuals and on some notion of a fair distribution of resources to individuals. Egalitarianism is thus a more ample construct through which to view the challenges and opportunities of today's modern metropolitan regions\, because it does not assume a market-based or capitalist-driven imperative. Rather\, egalitarianism can be used to ask what if the underpinnings of resource distribution\, transportation\, housing allocation and industrial wast management were in the service of the most equitable allocation of goods and services. Given the reality that contemporary metropolitan regions and post-industrial cities fall well short of this goal\, egalitarianism then allows us to ask what is the best way to reduce or mitigate the harmful inequalities.\n\nTentative Schedule:\n8:30 am - 9:00 am - Registration/Light Breakfast\n9:15 am - 9:25 am - Opening Remarks\n9:25 am - 9:45 am - The Egalitarian Metropolis\n9:45 am - 11:15 am - Panel 1: Rethinking Modernist Orthodoxies\n11:20 am - 12:50 pm - Panel 2: Privatization and the Commons\n12:50 pm - 2:00 pm - Lunch\n2:00 pm - 3:30 pm - Panel 3: Capital and Justice\n3:35 pm - 5:30 pm - Panel 4: Political Space of Media (Film Screenings 3:35 pm - 4:15 pm)\n5:30 pm - 6:00 pm - Closing Remarks

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:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

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:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

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:Performance:The Verve Pipe Kids' Show
DESCRIPTION:With sales of three million albums worldwide and a reputation for spectacular live performances\, the Verve Pipe was one of Michigan rock and roll's great success stories of the 1990s. Formed in East Lansing\, the band gained a following for its textured rock songs distinguished by inventive arrangements\, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. After being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called \"Calling All Kids\,\" the band found that the creative sessions yielded far more than just the one track. This led to an idea of a complete album of family-friendly songs\, and \"A Family Album\,\" was born. Nominated for its annual best kids' CD award by Nickelodeon's Parents Connect\, it's an energetic collection of guitar-based tunes on such topics as breakfast cereal and getting up in the morning. The Verve Pipe is back\, and they're ready to reach a new generation!

SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:FOKUS presents VANGUARDS 2015: VOICE
DESCRIPTION:Free food\, art\, music\, games - everything you need to end a great semester and kick off a much needed summer! \n\nFeaturing ROCNATION Recording Artist & Detroit's very own Mayaeni\, Citywide Poets (Detroit\, MI)\, AnnaMalistiik\, Yada Yada\, and more! We will also have a sexual assault awareness installation by I Will\, a journal group led by a NELP alum\, a photo booth\, and more!\n\nVANGUARDS 2015: Voice\nThe University of Michigan has historically been a haven for activism and social change\, offering the perfect environment to stand up and make your voice heard. In the past\, these movements have created community and brought people together. This year there has been a resurgence of activism\, but instead of bringing people together\, this movement has focused on our differences instead of focusing on what we have in common. Within each of our distinct races and social identities\, we are all students\, and more importantly\, we are all artists. VANGUARDS: VOICE seeks to bring people from every part of campus together\, with art as the common medium\, to remind us that we share this common thread.\n\n| ABOUT FOKUS |\n\nFOKUS nurtures success in communities by exposing community members to unexpected art experiences. This exposure helps them discover their own creativity and use it to better their communities. One driving force of the organization is to highlight the fact that art plays a role in everything from education to entertainment to activism to health to community building and much more. We believe that the arts enable people to rise above barriers in society by creating new ways of thinking\, communicating and interacting. FOKUS’s mission is to educate\, empower and unite communities through the arts. \n\n| WHAT IS VANGUARDS? |\n\nVANGUARDS is an annual event that started in April of 2005 that is produced by FIGHTING OBSTACLES KNOWING ULTIMATE SUCCESS (FOKUS).  Modeled with respect to a classic block party\, Vanguards is FOKUS’s flagship event\, showcasing and introducing the FOKUS vision of inclusivity\, fun\, creativity\, and collaborative learning to a wide array of students\, professors\, staff\, and Ann Arbor community.\n\n| ENTERTAINMENT |\nThis year we are bringing out several performers. Headlining the event will be Detroit-based singer and guitarist Mayaeni\, who is signed to RocNation Records and is the Midwest’s most up-and-coming artist. CityWide Poets\, a Detroit-based poetry troupe composed of high school students\, will accentuate Vanguards with a main stage performance. Drop-in workshops\, student performances\, and collaborative activities with other student led organizations will round out the event. After the event\, we will create a portfolio of visual\, spoken\, and written expressions of voice shared at VANGUARDS 2015.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Korean Cinema NOW
DESCRIPTION:Background: Though fictionalized\, the film is based on real-life scientist Hwang Woo-suk\, who was at the center of one of the largest investigations of scientific fraud in recent memory. Hwang\, then a professor of biotechnology at Seoul National University (SNU)\, gained international renown in 2004 after claiming that he had successfully carried out experiments cloning human embryonic stem cells. In 2005\, an anonymous tip from whistleblower Ryu Young-joon\, a former researcher at Hwang's lab\, led to MBC program PD Notebook uncovering Hwang's ethical violations and fabricated data\, which was confirmed by an SNU investigative panel in 2006. Hwang's research was discredited and in 2009\, a South Korean court convicted him of embezzlement and bioethical violations.\n\nStory: TV news producer Yoon Min-cheol is desperate for a scoop for his investigative journalism program PD Chase. One day\, he receives a tip that The Newman Medical\, the biggest sterility clinic in Korea\, buys ovum illegally. But while investigating\, he is shocked to discover that scientist Lee Jang-hwan seems to be involved in the case. Lee had gained widespread acclaim and press attention following his groundbreaking experiments cloning human embryonic stem cells\, and is considered a national hero whose research may mean the cure to several illnesses. As Yoon hesitates whether to pursue such a revered and powerful figure\, he gets an anonymous call from Shim Min-ho\, a young scientist who works for Lee's lab. Shim claims that Lee's stem cell research has largely been fabricated and unethical\, and the two join forces to expose Lee's scientific fraud and bring the truth to the public\, despite its disbelieving and harsh reaction.\n\n2014  |  114 Minutes  |  Directed by Yim Soon-rye

SUMMARY:Performance:Liz Longley
DESCRIPTION:For painters\, the joy and challenge of creation begins with a blank canvas. For Liz Longley\, it started in an empty room. “I was living in Boston and my roommate had just moved out\, so I paced the hardwood floors of her room with my guitar\,” Longley recalls. “I walked back and forth until the songs were done. It was as though they were stuck in the apartment walls.”\n\nLongley has a gift for culling musical treasures as though straight from thin air. And now\, the Berklee College of Music graduate and award-winning songwriter is set to share them with listeners on her self-titled album—her first after signing with Sugar Hill Records in December 2014. The collection of 11 songs was recorded in Nashville with an all-pro band—and in a pulse-quickening fashion so rare in today’s world of overproduced\, airbrushed records. “I love being in the studio and feeding off the energy of other musicians. It’s not something I get to do often on the road because I’ve mostly toured solo.” While Longley’s songs and vocals invite complimentary comparisons to Shawn Colvin\, Paula Cole and Nanci Griffith—all artists she’s supported live—her latest effort spotlights a style and confidence that’s all her own. You can hear it in the subtle-yet-soaring vocals on “Memphis\,” the dagger directness of “Skin and Bones\,” the bittersweet farewell that drives “This Is Not the End” (featured in the 2012 season finale of Lifetime's Army Wives). They’re all cuts that dare you to hold back the goosebumps.\n\nIn fact\, Longley’s singing never fails to thrill and enthrall. Her voice and tone\, touched with the slightest of country inflections\, pours out like clean\, crystalline water. Still\, she can roar like a waterfall or flow effortlessly along the bed her backing band lays down\, as on “Peace of Mind.” The track showcases Longley yearning after silence and stillness to beat back demons of self-doubt.\nThe new songs grew amidst a period of transition and travel in her life\; moving between Boston and New York before finally settling in Nashville\, and spending much of her life on the road in a succession of minivans. To that end\, the songs have been road tested at Longley’s live shows\, their power to connect with fans beyond question.\n\nThese numbers pack the punch of pages torn from Longley’s journal. And fans have rewarded her transparency with tangible loyalty. For while many acts have no clue how an album will be received\, Longley started her project knowing just how much her fans wanted her to succeed. It’s like this: Her Kickstarter campaign\, which set $35\,000 as an album-funding goal\, exceeded that amount by nearly 60 percent\, raising $55\,000. “We reached the mark so quickly and I’m just really\, really lucky to be connected to my fans\,” she says. “I feel like they’ve adopted me—like I have this big supportive family.”\n\nAnd to that end\, Longley confides with you as though you’re sitting on the sofa with her in a talk that’s intimate and vulnerable. “Bad Habit” strides the valley road of heartbreak\, its pounding toms and plaintive electric guitar providing an ideal frame for Longley’s vocal\, the very portrait of love’s rock bottom: “I couldn’t stand the smell of smoke ’til he lit that cigarette/ Never felt the temptation ’til I smelled it on his breath.”\n\n“I wrote it after dating a guy who had a lot of bad habits\, and somehow he became my bad habit\,” Longley recalls. “He was just one of those people—a smoker and a drinker who also had a habit of cheating. When I broke up with him and wrote the song\, it was hugely therapeutic for me. It cleansed him from my system. And when I started playing it live\, I realized that so many others had toxic people in their lives.”\n\nWhy write and sing songs so transparent and confessional? For Longley\, it boils down to the simple truth of authenticity. “I just try to be myself\,” she says. “If I feel like a song is not genuine to me\, I absolutely do not present it because people see right through it. It’s all about the honesty\, and I try not to overthink it—then it would lose some of the magic.”\nLongley first felt the magic while growing up outside of Philadelphia. A song she wrote in ninth grade—her first ever—earned a standing ovation when she performed it for the student body: “I was unprepared for that sort of reaction and it was life-changing moment\,” she says. “That’s when I knew it was what I wanted to do with my life.”\nThe track record she’s assembled since shows just how much Longley grew into her dream. She’s taken home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country\, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition\, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest Songwriting Competition. But it all traces straight back to Longley’s first song. She says she’ll continue to open her soul in the service of her art because that’s what matters most to her. “Every time I get into these songs they resonate with me\, lock with me\, because they’re based on something I went through\,” she says of the new collection. “I hope they connect with people and that they’ll help with whatever they’ve gone through. That’s what music does for me\, and I hope I can do that for someone else.”\nAfter all\, what better way to fill an empty room than with fully realized music?\n\nTexas-born songwriter Brian Wright opens.

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:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

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:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Polio\, Panic and the Public's Health
DESCRIPTION:In the first half of the 20th century\, parents feared hot summers\, crowded beaches and swimming pools\, associating them with polio’s annual threat to children’s health. A child’s simple sore throat and stiff neck\, sometimes precursive signs of polio\, might force parents to confront terrifying visions of paralysis and confinement to an iron lung.\n\nBy the 1940s and 1950s\, polio epidemics in the United States were tragic annual summer events\, sometimes resulting in 2\,000 or more deaths a year. Against this backdrop of an almost universal sense of helpless panic\, rivals Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin raced to develop an effective vaccine.\n\nPulitzer prize winning historian David Oshinsky\, Ph.D.\, will tell their story\, and of the impact the polio experience had on public health\, research and funding\, when he delivers the Davenport Lecture on Sunday\, April 12. His talk is entitled “Polio: a look back at America’s most successful public health crusade.”\n\nIntroductory comments will be given by University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel.\n\nDr. Oshinsky’s talk is free and open to the public\, and takes place at 3 p.m. in the multi-purpose room\, Ann Arbor District Library’s downtown branch\, 343 South 5th Avenue. For directions or more information\, call 734-647-6914.\n\nDr. Oshinsky is a professor of history at New York University and directs the Division of Medical Humanities at the NYU School of Medicine.\n\nHis books include A Conspiracy So Immense: The World of Joe McCarthy\, which was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year\; and Worse Than Slavery\, winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award for its distinguished contribution to human rights. His most recent book\, Polio: An American Story\, won the Pulitzer Prize for History\, among other awards\, and influenced Bill Gates to make polio eradication the top priority of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2009\, PBS aired The Polio Crusade\, a documentary based on his book.\n\nThis year’s Davenport Lecture on polio coincides with the 60th anniversary of the announcement\, April 12\, 1955 at the University of Michigan\, that Salk’s polio vaccine was “safe\, effective\, and potent.”\n\nThe Davenport lectureship is named for the late Horace W. Davenport\, Ph.D.\, who died in August 2005 at age 92. He was chair of the U-M Department of Physiology for 22 years\, from 1956 to 1978. Davenport was one of the world's preeminent gastric physiologists. His landmark studies led to the discovery of the stomach's barrier to injury. After retiring from active faculty status in 1983\, Davenport pursued his longtime interest in the history of physiology and medicine\, publishing numerous books and articles including Not Just Any Medical School: The Science\, Practice\, and Teaching of Medicine at the University of Michigan\, 1850-1941 (University of Michigan Press\, 1999).

DESCRIPTION:Iowa City artist Sara Slee Brown focuses on using images of natural beauty and man-made buildings to create imaginary scenarios that give rise to possibilities outside of everyday experience. Using the computer as her medium\, she digitally combines photographic images and original artwork. She then makes digital prints and layers them onto canvas with acrylic varnish. The resulting surface is more paint than print\, revealing the artist’s hand upon the work. Brown holds a BFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and an MFA in Painting from the University of Iowa School of Art.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Creating opportunity for America's youth: Anatomy of a public policy challenge
DESCRIPTION:Improving life outcomes for opportunity youth -  the 6.7 million young people aged 16-24 who are out of school and/or work – is a moral imperative and economic necessity. Their disconnection—often precipitated or exacerbated by the failure of critical education\, training\, and social service systems—places an enormous and unnecessary economic burden on our nation. Melody Barnes will examine efforts to address this challenge and to improve the coordination of the many systems and diverse actors who serve this group of young people. Through the dissection of this issue\, Barnes will offer her reflections on the interplay and roles of government (federal\, state and local)\, the private and nonprofit sectors\, philanthropy\, communications\,  and public engagement in the policy making process.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amira Mittermaier\, associate professor of religion and Near and Middle Eastern civilizations\, University of Toronto\n\nAmira Mittermaier is an associate professor in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto. Bringing together textual analysis and ethnographic fieldwork\, her work to date has focused on Muslim everyday life in Egypt. Her award-winning book\, Dreams that Matter: Egyptian Landscapes of the Imagination (University of California Press\, 2011) explores Muslim practices of dream interpretation\, as they are inflected by Islamic reformism\, Western psychology\, and mass mediation. Mittermaier’s current book project examines modes of almsgiving and food distribution in different religious spaces in Cairo. This project aims to think through how everyday acts of giving relate to\, and disrupt\, political calls for social justice in post-Mubarak Egypt.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Distinguished Lecture: What if the Actor Were an Eater?
DESCRIPTION:The ‘actor’ in the Western theoretical tradition acts under the guidance of centrally made decisions. The actor’s imagined body moves when its voluntary muscles are prompted by its brain. Eating may be a precondition for this activity\, but it happens somewhere else\, sometime earlier. Eating lies outside the vocabulary that helps shape academic ways of thinking and writing about humans. In this lecture I will focus on eating practices\, not to naturalize ‘eating\,’ but to see it as an activity that helps cut up reality in some ways and not others. In a world where the waters\, woods\, and wonders formerly called ‘nature’ are transforming all too rapidly in dire ways\, it is worth exploring what follows if we model ‘acting’ on ‘eating.’\n\nAnnemarie Mol is professor of Anthropology of the Body and helped develop post-ANT/feminist understandings of science\, technology\, and medicine. Her research combines the ethnographic study of practices with rich theoretical investigations of language\, bodies\, objects\, sites\, and processes.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gangstagrass
DESCRIPTION:Gangstagrass goes back to the future with Rappalachia\, or\, you might say\, Jay-Z meets Ralph Stanley. Blending bluegrass and hip-hop seems like an unlikely recipe for success\, but don’t tell that to Rench\, the mastermind behind the highly successful rap ’n’ grass project Gangstagrass. When he was going to grade school\, recess was a time of breakdancing on cardboard to RUN-DMC. But at home\, the records on the stereo were Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash and the more you think about moonshiner songs and the like\, the more sense this makes. That musical mash up made a lasting impression and sent Rench on a cross-country journey to play country-flavored hip-hop in dive bars. You might have heard Gangstagrass's \"Long Hard Times to Come\" as the theme of the FX series \"Justified\"—now hear them in person! Gangstagrass comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Broken Hearts and Stolen Money.\"

DESCRIPTION:Iowa City artist Sara Slee Brown focuses on using images of natural beauty and man-made buildings to create imaginary scenarios that give rise to possibilities outside of everyday experience. Using the computer as her medium\, she digitally combines photographic images and original artwork. She then makes digital prints and layers them onto canvas with acrylic varnish. The resulting surface is more paint than print\, revealing the artist’s hand upon the work. Brown holds a BFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and an MFA in Painting from the University of Iowa School of Art.

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

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

DESCRIPTION:Mah-Jongg is a Chinese game resembling Gin Rummy\, but played with colorful tiles instead of cards. It is easy to learn and can become quite addictive. Classes start with a brief lecture\, followed by actual playing of the game\, with continuous guidance from the instructor. Stuart Baggaley has taught his modified and simplified version of the game to numerous groups at many different venues. He is a British World War II veteran (RAF) who emigrated from Norway in 1957. He retired from the U of M Medical School (Anatomy) in 1990.\nThis class for those over 50 meets Tuesdays\, April 14 - May 26.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

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:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

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:Lecture: Social Networks Under Stress
DESCRIPTION:Research on social networks has begun to take advantage of data that reveal fine-grained communications over time and their role in coordination\, decision-making\, and information sharing. These studies\, however\, have focused primarily on social communication as a phenomenon that is endogenous to the network\; they have not generally analyzed how changes to the communication structure are associated with external events. How social networks structurally respond to external events\, and how structural changes predict shifts in the networks communicative functioning\, are questions that have remained largely unanswered.\n\nDaniel Romero\, assistant professor at the School of Information\, will present a study on how external events are associated with a network’s change in structure and communication content. Analyzing all the millions of instant messages of the decision-makers in a large hedge fund and their network of hundreds of outside contacts\, he investigates the relationship between stock price shocks and changes in the structure and content of the firms decision-making network.\n'Daniel Romero is an assistant professor and post-doctoral Presidential Fellow in the School of Information. He holds a PhD in applied mathematics from Cornell University and an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Arizona State University. His main research interest is the empirical and theoretical analysis of Social and Information Networks. He is particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms involved in network evolution\, information diffusion\, and user interactions on the Web.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\, Guo Jue\, Assistant Professor\, Asian & Middle Eastern Cultures\, Barnard College\n\nThis talk investigates the various conceptualizations of the dead by looking at the funerary rituals\, tomb constructions\, and grave goods in Early China and argues that\, instead of being a natural and static category\, the dead was deliberately made and remade through a process of rituals and actions.\n\nGuo Jue is an Assistant Professor at Barnard College and co-chair of Columbia Early China Seminar. She specializes in Early China\, especially from the Warring States period to Han times (5th century B.C.E.-3rd century C.E.). Her research interests are primarily in ritual practices\, material culture\, and social\, religious\, and cultural history of early societies. Using both received history and archaeological sources\, she looks at the intersection and interaction between writing and object\, and studies topics including divination\, death rituals\, tombs and burials\, and everyday life in early to medieval China from anthropological and historical perspectives\, as well as the way they are theorized in comparative studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Body in the Library: Lord Lansdowne and his Nursery for Reform
DESCRIPTION:Historians know about the importance of private libraries to the early Enlightenment and by extension the entire age\, but they know little about exactly what happened to them after 1750 and how what existed connected to collectors\, collections\, the constructed environment encasing them\, and consumers.  Professor Hancock will talk about the important private collection of books and manuscripts assembled by William Petty-Fitzmaurice\, 2nd Earl of Shelburne and 1st Marquis of Lansdowne (1737-1805)\, Britain’s first Irish-born prime minister\, and housed at his palace in London.  He will examine the design\, decoration and furnishing of a space to house them in\, their acquisition\, use and disposition between 1761 and 1805\, and the tastes and thoughts they reflected.  A large private library informed by universal principles like Lansdowne's was one of the prime movers of the late Enlightenment\, domesticating and rendering practical that movement and\, at the same time\, playing an ambiguous\, yet undeniably critical role as an instrument of incipient Revolution.

SUMMARY:Performance:Love Songs of Krishna and Radha: Gita Govinda representations in Odissi Dance and South Asian Art
DESCRIPTION:Noted Indian classical dancers Sreyashi Dey from Ann Arbor and Vishnu Tattva Das from California come together to perform an evening of Odissi dance based on one of the most lyrical and poetic works from India\, the 12th-century poet Jayadeva’s celebrated work\, the Gita Govinda. The dance\, like many works in UMMA’s collection of South Asian art\, depicts the many characterizations of the goddess Radha\, including her longing for the divine lover Krishna\, the agony of separation\, the torment of jealousy\, and the bliss of union\, and brings to life the descriptions of archetypical heroines in classical Indian texts. The evening’s performance will be introduced by U-M Professor of Art History\, Dr. Nachiket Chanchani\, who will set it within a larger Indian cultural and aesthetic context.\n\nCo-sponsored by UMMA and SPICMACAY\, University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Along the Way: Collage on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Iowa City artist Sara Slee Brown focuses on using images of natural beauty and man-made buildings to create imaginary scenarios that give rise to possibilities outside of everyday experience.

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:Ramiro Gomez: Cut-Outs
DESCRIPTION:Artist Ramiro Gomez’s life-sized cardboard cutouts\, paintings\, and constructions bring attention to those who toil behind the familiar scenes of luxury and affluence in America.\n\nLA based\, he often focuses on the Hispanic work force in Beverly Hills—the nannies\, and gardeners\, housekeepers\, and pool cleaners.\n\nIn 2014\, he spent several weeks as an artist in residence with the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, mounting his works across the Diag\, changing our everyday landscape on campus. One installation depicted migrant workers in the field\, incorporating cardboard vegetable boxes foraged from the dumpsters behind dorm cafeterias. Another illustrated a groundskeeper tending to fall leaves.\n\nFor his current exhibition\, Gomez will create a room-sized installation of his cutouts in the Institute for the Humanities gallery.\n\nAlthough his works contemplate issues of race and cultural identity\, they more philosophically explore delineations and disconnects between people\, the have and have-nots\, the visible and invisible. His articulated figures are performative\, capturing the rhythm and gesture of the service industry\, their endless repetitions that keep things running. Almost naïve in materiality and process\, his constructions are measured and deliberate actions of inclusion.\n\nSeeing a Gomez figure propped on a manicured lawn—or in a Hockney painting\, or pasted in a luxury goods magazine ad—permanently changes the picture\, and our narratives about wealth and prosperity in our society.\n-Amanda Krugliak\, Institute for the Humanities curator

In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

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:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

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: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:Performance:Brown Bag Recital Series: Daniel Forger\, organ
DESCRIPTION:Thirty minutes of organ solo music performed by local musicians.  Bring lunch or purchase at the Crossroads Cafe. \n\nDaniel Forger is a professor of Mathematics and research professor of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at U-M. He is also an associate of the American Guild of Organists\, won a McCord Prize in Music\, and has studied organ performance with many teachers\, including James Kibbie.\n\nPublic Health is currently being revolutionized by mathematical techniques analyzing \"Big Data.\" Can similar techniques can be used to understand music? Forger argues that organ music has been subject to \"Big Data\" for at least 100 years\, as modern keyboard action transforms each note played into a simple on and off command to a pipe. He will also argue that the Bach Trio Sonatas are ideal candidates for \"Big Data\" analysis since Bach is the natural starting point for musical analysis\, the trio sonatas were important to Bach\, and the trio sonatas have a very uniform structure. Forger has captured this code generated by my performance of the Trio Sonatas\, by hacking into the modern organ in his home\, and analyzed it\, using some preliminary mathematical techniques. As he performs the Trio Sonatas\, graphs showing preliminary analysis will be presented.\n\nPROGRAM: Bach- Trio Sonata #2\, BWV 526\; Trio Sonata #4\, BWV 528

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception for Ramiro Gomez: Cut-Outs
DESCRIPTION:Artist Ramiro Gomez’s life-sized cardboard cutouts\, paintings\, and constructions bring attention to those who toil behind the familiar scenes of luxury and affluence in America.\n\nLA based\, he often focuses on the Hispanic work force in Beverly Hills—the nannies\, and gardeners\, housekeepers\, and pool cleaners.\n\nIn 2014\, he spent several weeks as an artist in residence with the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, mounting his works across the Diag\, changing our everyday landscape on campus. One installation depicted migrant workers in the field\, incorporating cardboard vegetable boxes foraged from the dumpsters behind dorm cafeterias. Another illustrated a groundskeeper tending to fall leaves.\n\nFor his current exhibition\, Gomez will create a room-sized installation of his cutouts in the Institute for the Humanities gallery.\n\nAlthough his works contemplate issues of race and cultural identity\, they more philosophically explore delineations and disconnects between people\, the have and have-nots\, the visible and invisible. His articulated figures are performative\, capturing the rhythm and gesture of the service industry\, their endless repetitions that keep things running. Almost naïve in materiality and process\, his constructions are measured and deliberate actions of inclusion.\n\nSeeing a Gomez figure propped on a manicured lawn—or in a Hockney painting\, or pasted in a luxury goods magazine ad—permanently changes the picture\, and our narratives about wealth and prosperity in our society.\n-Amanda Krugliak\, Institute for the Humanities curator

SUMMARY:Performance:Hot Club of Cowtown
DESCRIPTION:The Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown explores the space where early jazz met Texas swing\, where Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang met Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Guitarist Whit Smith and fiddler Elana James have become a world-class country-jazz duo\, challenging each other and reading each other's minds at every turn. Add in the insouciant lyrics of the era and the vigorous slap-bass rhythms of Jake Erwin\, and you've got virtuoso small-group western swing that's beyond infectious. If you've seen the Hot Club before\, be advised that they're only getting better—they went on hiatus\, got back together\, and came out of it stronger. By now they're one of the great improvising bands in any genre. Their latest album\, \"Rendezvous in Rhythm\,\" is their first ever dedicated exclusively to the Gypsy jazz and French swing of Paris in the 1930s\, featuring the band’s sparkling spins on standards in the style of legendary hot jazz titans Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.

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:Ramiro Gomez: Cut-Outs
DESCRIPTION:Artist Ramiro Gomez’s life-sized cardboard cutouts\, paintings\, and constructions bring attention to those who toil behind the familiar scenes of luxury and affluence in America.\n\nLA based\, he often focuses on the Hispanic work force in Beverly Hills—the nannies\, and gardeners\, housekeepers\, and pool cleaners.\n\nIn 2014\, he spent several weeks as an artist in residence with the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, mounting his works across the Diag\, changing our everyday landscape on campus. One installation depicted migrant workers in the field\, incorporating cardboard vegetable boxes foraged from the dumpsters behind dorm cafeterias. Another illustrated a groundskeeper tending to fall leaves.\n\nFor his current exhibition\, Gomez will create a room-sized installation of his cutouts in the Institute for the Humanities gallery.\n\nAlthough his works contemplate issues of race and cultural identity\, they more philosophically explore delineations and disconnects between people\, the have and have-nots\, the visible and invisible. His articulated figures are performative\, capturing the rhythm and gesture of the service industry\, their endless repetitions that keep things running. Almost naïve in materiality and process\, his constructions are measured and deliberate actions of inclusion.\n\nSeeing a Gomez figure propped on a manicured lawn—or in a Hockney painting\, or pasted in a luxury goods magazine ad—permanently changes the picture\, and our narratives about wealth and prosperity in our society.\n-Amanda Krugliak\, Institute for the Humanities curator

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Speaking the End Times: Prophecy and Messianism in Early Modern Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Apocalyptic anxieties were a common feature of early modern Eurasia. From India to Iberia\, the circulation of prophecies and multiplication of messianic movements transformed the social and political orders for Christians\, Muslims\, and Jews alike. Yet these phenomena have tended to be studied exclusively within their particular religious traditions. Through a cross-cultural approach\, the participants of this symposium will explore the implications of these radical claims to authority both within their historical contexts and for the wider field of early modern history. The aim is to set a common analytical language that is perceptive to shared features\, particularities\, and connectivities.\n\nKeynote Address:\nWednesday\, April 15\n4:00-6:00\nMLB Commons 4th Floor\nKenneth Mills: A ‘City of Penitence': Narrating the Apocalyptic Voice of San Francisco Solano\n\nSymposium:\nThursday\, April 16\n2435 North Quad\n\n9:00am\nVisit to Hatcher Graduate Library Special Collections \n8th floor Hatcher Graduate Library\n\n10:15am\nCoffee and Opening Remarks\n2435 North Quad\n\n10:30am\nPresenter: Robert Bast\nThe Messianic Kingship of Augustin Bader as Anti-Habsburg Polemic: Prophecy and Politics in Reformation Germany\nRespondent: Kenneth Mills\n\n11:30\nBREAK\n\n11:40 \nPresenter: Mayte Green-Mercado\nProphecy as Diplomacy: Henry IV of France and the Moriscos\nRespondent: Enrique García Santo-Tomás\n\n12:40pm \nLUNCH\n\n1:40pm \nPresenter: Matt Goldish\nCould Early Modern Messianic Movements Cross Religious Boundaries?\nRespondent: Diane Owen Hughes\n\n2:40pm\nCOFFE BREAK\n\n3:00pm\nPresenter: Azfar Moin\nWhy Mughal Kings Venerated the Sun: Messianic Peace and Cosmotheism in Islam\nRespondent: Cornell Fleischer\n\n4:00pm\nBREAK\n\n4:10pm\nPresenter: Evrim Binbaş\nCorporate Messianism in the Timurid Period: Varieties of Iskandar b. ‘Umar Shaykh’s Constitutional Discourse\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan\n\n5:10pm\nBREAK\n\n5:20pm\nGeneral Discussion \n\n\nSponsored by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures\, International Institute\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Department of History\, Institute for the Humanities\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and Rackham Graduate School.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE LARGEST PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM SINCE THE PYRAMIDS:
DESCRIPTION:HOW THE 1956 HIGHWAY ACT CHANGED THE NATION.\n\nAlthough named for President Eisenhower\, the Interstate Highway Act of 1956 was in fact inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt who saw a toll-free national system of limited-access highways as a way to lift the country out of the Depression and especially to benefit the poorer states of the South and West where light traffic and immense distances made toll roads impossible.  When built the Interstate system did indeed benefit the Sunbelt over the Northeast and Middle West\, as well as suburbs over cities.  But it did give the United States the world’s best highway system\, paid for entirely by federal gasoline taxes.  Today these taxes cannot even keep the system repaired.\n\nProfessor Fishman is the author of “Bourgeois Utopias: The Rise and Fall of Suburbia” (1987) and “Urban Utopias in the Twentieth Century: Ebenezer Howard\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, and Le Corbusier” (1977). He recently contributed “Detroit: Linear City” to “Mapping Detroit: Land\, Community and Shaping a City” (2015).\n\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/programs_activities/lectures/5th_Lecture_Series.pdf

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.

DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

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:Careers / Jobs:PICS Career Event: How to Get a Job at a Think Tank
DESCRIPTION:Think tanks are non-profit organizations that study and advocate for public policy options. Once described as \"universities without students\,\" they range from small centers that focus on particular subjects to major institutions employing hundreds of people. Traditionally\, much of their work came in the form of policy papers\, but they now place as much or more emphasis on media work\, blogging\, and outreach to politicians\, their staffs\, and the general public. Jobs at think tanks go well beyond those focusing on public policy\, and include media\, government relations\, and development\, but for all positions\, familiarity with the major issues of the day\, and the institution's position on them\, is essential. Applications for positions at think tanks are highly-competitive\, but there are strategies you can follow that will help you succeed -- and many of these strategies are applicable not just to think tanks\, but to public policy positions and jobs at non-profits more broadly.\n\nTed R. Bromund is the Senior Research Fellow in Anglo-American Relations at The Heritage Foundation\, a Washington\, DC-based think tank. Dr. Bromund received his PhD from Yale University in 1999\, and specializes in contemporary British policy\, relations between the US\, the UK\, and the EU\, intentional security treaties\, and international organizations such as Interpol. He is a columnist for newspapers in the US and UK\, and contributes regularly to the Weekly Standard\, National Review\, Fox News\, and other publications. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Strategic Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington\, DC. Before joining Heritage\, Bromund was the Associate Director at Yale's International Security Studies\, a center for teaching and research in grand strategy and international history. At Yale\, he taught British imperial history\, sports history\, and the core course for Yale's International Relations MA program.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Forensic Proofs of Age and the Enactment of Childhood in Colonial India\,\" Isita Pande\, Queen's University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk scrutinizes a slew of rape cases from colonial India in which either the victim’s tender age was taken as proof of a crime or the perpetrator’s youth was seen as evidence of innocence. In cases where forensics failed to confirm chronological age\, judges referenced moral understandings of childhood and sexual codes of conduct to sort children from adults. Tracing the gap that opened up between clear enactments on childhood and fuzzy proofs of age\, this talk asks why age remained a fundamental element of legal identity and social order and whether age can function as a useful category of analysis in every historical context.\n\nIshita Pande is Associate Professor of History and Gender Studies at Queen's University\, focusing on post/colonial South Asia and the British Empire. She is the author of Medicine\, Race and Liberalism in British Bengal: Symptoms of Empire (2010). She is currently working on the emergence of childhood and sexuality as disciplinary and governmental problems in the early twentieth century\, and the place of scientific and legal discourses on childhood to the idea of national development in India. This book-length project is provisionally titled\, \"A Developing State: Children\, Sexuality and India’s Coming of Age.\"\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Warren Herb Wagner Guest Lecture in Plant Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe unequal distribution of taxa across the globe has intrigued scientists for a long time. In the Neotropics\, the observation that different biomes present different species composition has led ecologists\, evolutionary biologists\, systematists and biogeographers to search for explanations to this pattern for a long time. Indeed\, few issues have been as intriguing and exciting to scientists as the origin and evolution of the Neotropical biota. A lot of effort has been devoted to understanding the causes of the high diversity encountered in this region\, and it is now clear that both evolutionary and ecological factors have played key roles for the assembly of this biota. As such\, integrative approaches\, including information from phylogenetics\, ecology\, geology\, and climatology are not just useful but critical for a better understanding of the origin and evolution of the Neotropical biota. In this lecture\, I use the plant family Bignoniaceae as a model for investigating the history of Tropical ecosystems\, in particular the Neotropics where this plant family is most abundant and diverse.\n\nPlease join us for a preseminar reception from 3:15 - 4:00 p.m. in Room 2060 Kraus Natural Science Building.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Without Cassini – Colbert and the Administrative Cartography of the French Provinces\, 1661-1683
DESCRIPTION:Jean Boutier\, Directeur d’Etudes at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Marseille) and visiting scholar in the U-M Department of History\, discusses new research on a little known project to map France\, initiated by Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1619-1683)\, the powerful minister to Louis XIV.\n\nAfter the death of Cardinal Mazarin in 1661\, Colbert became minister of finance in 1665. Colbert founded the Paris Observatory\, the Academy of Sciences\, and the French Academy of Rome. Appointing the astronomer Jean-Dominique Cassini (1625-1712) to direct the Observatory\, Colbert and Cassini initiated the geodetic survey of France. This effort led to the first modern topographic map of a nation\, completed by a succession of Cassini’s descendants.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sola: Dances by and for Women- RESCHEDULED TO APRIL 9 & 10
DESCRIPTION:Sola brings together six women choreographer/performers from across the U.S. to perform original works in five cities in 2014-15. As a creative enterprise launched by and for women dance artists\, it confronts the limitations that exist for professional women working in the field of contemporary dance and academia. Andee Scott\, an assistant professor of dance at the University of South Florida\, spearheaded the first phase of the project as a mechanism to highlight the biases that exist against women choreographers. Sola is a mechanism that promotes ways to be disobedient to the dominant narrative through lively\, vibrant\, complicated\, and luscious performance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2015 Annual Ermine Cowles Case Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Biologists and the public increasingly appreciate the diverse and pervasive effects of humans on natural systems\, but data are difficult to acquire for more than a few select species and over the past few decades\, centuries\, and millennia needed to recognize change\, discriminate between natural and human drivers\, and establish natural baseline conditions\, all critical to ecological assessment and restoration. Death assemblages — the actively accumulating organic remains encountered in present-day seabeds and landscapes\, as distinct from permanently buried fossil assemblages — are an underexploited source of ecological historical information at precisely these scales. Field work\, experiments\, and statistical exploration of ‘live-dead agreement’ in modern environments\, originally motivated to better understand the formation of ancient fossil assemblages\, reveal that dead shell and bone assemblages differ from the local living community primarily because they are temporally coarse\, time-averaged samples\, contrary to concerns that postmortem bias dominates. Time-averaging damps the ability of the dead to detect small-scale variability\, but promotes their ability to inventory regional diversity\, evaluate historic habitat use\, and identify now-absent species\, community states\, and anthropogenically shifted baselines.

SUMMARY:Performance:Captain Ivory
DESCRIPTION:Your family’s record collection just hitched a ride a generation forward\, met a few genres along the way\, and started a rock band called Captain Ivory. It’s dirty\, in-your-face\, hands-inside-the-vehicle-at-all times rock 'n’ roll. This quintet came to Nashville by way of Ypsilanti and then Detroit\, where they kept their ears to the pavement to blend sounds both new and old\, sounds of legends who’ve walked before\, with a twist of new that is sure to get your feet tapping and hands clapping. Think Jack White with a bit of Radiohead\, Derek Trucks\, and more! This band has a following in Europe\, where MuzikaleVibe in the Netherlands writes: “Occasionally we come across unknown\, but ridiculously good music to which we are very excited about\; such is the case when we found Captain Ivory.”
