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: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. Join docents as they introduce this exhibition inspired by 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.

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).

SUMMARY:Performance:Neil Woodward
DESCRIPTION:Neil may be the only person alive who played both banjo at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Jew’s harp at Lincoln Center.

The Legislature of the State of Michigan officially named Neil Woodward Michigan’s Troubadour in recognition of his lifelong commitment to preservation of Great Lakes folk music and culture.  What does it mean for you? A one-of-a-kind performance that pays tribute to light keepers\, immigrants\, laborers\, sailors\, soldiers\, teachers\, mothers\, fathers\, lumberjacks\, railroaders\, farmers\, hobos\, auto workers\, dancers\, singers\, musicians and dogs.

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. 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: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:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:The Positive Links Speaker Series 2014-15 season features contributing authors of \"How To Be a Positive Leader: Small Actions\, Big Impact.\" (howtobeapositiveleader.com)\n\nPositive leaders are able to dramatically expand their people’s—and their own—capacity for excellence. And they accomplish this without enormous resources or huge heroic gestures. Leading scholars describe how this is being done at organizations such as Wells Fargo\, Ford\, Kelly Services\, Burt’s Bees\, Connecticut’s Griffin Hospital\, the Michigan-based Zingerman’s Community of Businesses\, and many others. Like the butterfly in Brazil whose flapping wings create a typhoon in Texas\, you can create profound positive change in your organization through simple actions and attitude shifts. Please join us to learn how.\n\nLynn Perry Wooten is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs at the Ross School of Business\, University of Michigan.

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.\"

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: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.

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: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: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: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.

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: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. 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.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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

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: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.”

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:Gifts of Art presents Pearls\, Chains & Silhouettes: Handmade\, Industrial & Digital Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on common jewelry motifs and iconic imagery\, Ashley Buchanan individually hand-cuts silhouettes from sheet metal using a traditional jeweler’s saw. She then applies color using an industrial process called powder coating. In select pieces\, Buchanan incorporates digitally scanned photographs made into buttons that she prong sets onto pieces in the form of gemstones. By combining the handmade with the industrial and the digital\, Buchanan pushes the boundaries of jewelry\, producing pieces with a fresh voice that speaks to the past\, present and future of craft while maintaining the seductive quality of jewelry.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Proof: Encaustic on Wood
DESCRIPTION:As she paints and constructs\, Graceann Warn’s paintings and assemblages use the metaphor of excavation. Her formal education in landscape architecture and classical archaeology assist her as she attempts to unearth an object or solve a mystery. A full time artist since 1985\, Warn now works primarily on wood panels with oils and encaustic\, and much of her work is concerned with the science and mystery of uncovering and covering. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in the collections of Yale University\, Museum of Art and Design\, New York\, NY\,  US Embassies in Nairobi and Sarajevo\, Pew Charitable Trusts and many others.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Challenging Entrenched Categories: Re-Exploring Approaches to Armenian Literature
DESCRIPTION:This workshop invites conversations surrounding Armenian literary sources\, by asking participants to consider\, challenge\, and offer theoretical and methodological alternatives to frameworks presently utilized in studying Armenian literature from the classical to the contemporary period. By both tracing and problematizing the formation of discourses shaped through European perspectives and scholarly approaches – practices which have contributed to an understanding of the literary traditions of Europe and the “east” as fragmented\, antagonistic\, and disparate – this workshop invites participants to engage in discussions pertaining to how Armenian literature could be explored and contextualized under the umbrella of larger\, non-compartmentalized geographic and conceptual frameworks\; and whether Mediterranean\, Post-colonial\, Diaspora\, and other studies can be effective ways of approaching Armenian texts\, across all periods.\n\nIn its consideration of how rigidly defined disciplinary boundaries in the study of national literatures include built-in notions of exclusion and self-referentiality\, this workshop encourages critical dialogue surrounding the following types of questions: \n(1) What are some effective ways in which Armenian literary texts can connect with larger intellectual discourses?\n(2) What types of specific frameworks could be utilized in studying Armenian literature\, and how would they facilitate cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of literature as a whole?\n(3) How might proposed alternate frameworks differ from past approaches? Can they be deemed both effective and suitable approaches to studying Armenian literary texts?\n(4) How might reading Armenian texts alongside other literary traditions expose moments of intercultural exchange and acculturation\; and in what ways could these types of readings contribute to better understanding cultural intersections and textual transmission from the classical to the contemporary period?\n(5) How might these types of discussions be applied to the study of other areas and fields in the Armenian tradition\, and how might they work differently in other disciplines?\n\nOrganizer: Tamar Boyadjian\, assistant professor of English and medieval literature\, Michigan State University

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: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: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:Smith Lecture: Internal Waves\, Ocean Mixing\, and the Thermohaline Circulation of the Ocean
DESCRIPTION:The surface waters of the ocean have a net flow from low to high latitudes with an associated poleward heat flux that is central in establishing the earth’s climate.  Some fraction of the high latitude waters are cooled sufficiently (and increased in salinity by the freezing of sea ice) that they sink deep into the sea\, perhaps to the sea floor.  These basic elements of the so-called thermohaline circulation of the ocean have been known for more than a century.  How the deep waters eventually return to the surface and the degree to which they gain heat / lose salt as they return is much less clear.\n\nAs with the human circulatory system\, where arteries and veins are prominent structures\, but the capillaries that link them are microscopic\, the processes that govern the evolution of the deep waters on their return to the surface occur at much smaller temporal and spatial scales than that of the general circulation.\n\nA key player in the process of water mass evolution in the deep sea is the internal gravity wave-field.  Internal waves are the deep-sea analog of the sea surface waves we are familiar with.  Their existence is enabled by the weak vertical density gradient found in the ocean interior.  With horizontal scales of meters to hundreds of kilometers\, these waves can carry energy and momentum both horizontally and vertically in the sea.   They can also break\, leading to “internal surf\,” deep-ocean turbulence that modifies the temperature and salinity of water parcels.\n\nSearching for deep-ocean turbulence and understanding where and why it occurs has been a major research effort over the past five decades. In the seminar I will present a somewhat personal view of the evolution of this research\, emphasizing instrumentation advances and observations. Technical developments range from the creation of very high speed electric winches to Doppler sonars for the remote sensing of ocean currents and to high-resolution probes for measuring turbulent fluctuations. In concert with these developments\, numerous observational campaigns have been fielded\, both in typical deep-sea conditions and at ocean-mixing “hot spots” that are just now being discovered around the globe. At such special sites\, internal waves of tidal frequency go unstable\, forming undersea breakers 100 m high. The breakers evolve in ‘slow motion’\, taking a half hour to collapse and leading to elevated levels of deep-sea turbulence that persist for three hours or more. \n\nThe physical disconnect between the processes that cause dense waters to sink at high latitudes and the processes that mix heat downward at low latitudes to enable the return-circulation is striking. Stabilizing feed-back mechanisms that link these two branches of the thermohaline circulation have yet to be identified\, rendering this an exciting frontier of research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A French Jesuit in the Middle Kingdom: Joseph-Marie Amiot (1718–1793) and his Writings on Chinese Music
DESCRIPTION:Jesuit missionary Joseph-Marie Amiot completed a manuscript entitled Mémoire sur la musique des chinois\, tant anciens que modernes\, sending it off to Paris where it was published in 1779 in an edition by Pierre-Joseph Roussier. Amiot’s manuscript works are however largely unknown today. This lecture compares the manuscript of the Mémoire with the published version\, shedding light on the obtrusive editorial work of Roussier\, who deleted more than seventy of Amiot’s original illustrations as well as substantial portions of the text.

SUMMARY:Performance:15th Annual Latin@ Culture Show – Caminos
DESCRIPTION:The Latin@ Culture Show\, LCS\, serves to broaden awareness of the spectrum of Latino culture through artistic expression. This year's show has the theme of Caminos. This special theme is meant to portray the different journeys that Latin@s embark on in the United States and beyond. Along these caminos we cast away and cling onto different identities\, people and ideas. Our journeys take us through the paths our ancestors took\, and we also establish new ones for future generations. Join us as we explore these ideas through dance\, poetry\, music\, and other art forms at the 15th Annual Latin@ Culture Show.

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:Performance:Steve Poltz
DESCRIPTION:Born in Halifax and raised in Palm Springs\, California\, songwriter and Ann Arbor Folk Festival Friday MC Steve Poltz launched Jewel's career when he invited her up to sing on stage at a San Diego coffeehouse. Steve himself has recorded for Mercury and for his own 98 Pounder label\, the name referring to his high-school wrestling weight. Over the course of his life he’s met Elvis Presley (who hugged his sister for far too long)\, trick-or-treated at Liberace’s house (each finger had a diamond ring)\, was Bob Hope’s favorite altar boy (according to him)\, and bravely traveled the world busking before he knew how to do it. His eclectic songbag is an unpredictable mixture of comic and serious\, sometimes within the same song\, and his stage presence is a wonderfully unpredictable freeform mix of elements. X frontman John Doe once said\, \"My idea of hell would be having Steve Poltz open for me every day. There's no place left for the audience to go.\" Steve Poltz was our Friday-night MC for the 2015 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

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. 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:Gifts of Art presents Proof: Encaustic on Wood
DESCRIPTION:As she paints and constructs\, Graceann Warn’s paintings and assemblages use the metaphor of excavation. Her formal education in landscape architecture and classical archaeology assist her as she attempts to unearth an object or solve a mystery. A full time artist since 1985\, Warn now works primarily on wood panels with oils and encaustic\, and much of her work is concerned with the science and mystery of uncovering and covering. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in the collections of Yale University\, Museum of Art and Design\, New York\, NY\,  US Embassies in Nairobi and Sarajevo\, Pew Charitable Trusts and many others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Transitions: Watercolor on Paper
DESCRIPTION:The current work of Ann Arbor based artist Maria Ruggiero focuses on the large and small events in daily life through the genre of still life. She creates complex compositions of objects and other elements that reflect aspects of her experiences\, with an emphasis on those that relate to the development of her young son. Pattern\, decoration\, and the juxtaposition of objects with flat images are consistent elements in Ruggiero's paintings\, as is her interest in light quality and color. She holds a BFA in Studio Art from Michigan State University\, an MFA in Painting from Kent State University in Ohio\, and she is Professor of Art at Eastern Michigan University.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Challenging Entrenched Categories: Re-Exploring Approaches to Armenian Literature
DESCRIPTION:This workshop invites conversations surrounding Armenian literary sources\, by asking participants to consider\, challenge\, and offer theoretical and methodological alternatives to frameworks presently utilized in studying Armenian literature from the classical to the contemporary period. By both tracing and problematizing the formation of discourses shaped through European perspectives and scholarly approaches – practices which have contributed to an understanding of the literary traditions of Europe and the “east” as fragmented\, antagonistic\, and disparate – this workshop invites participants to engage in discussions pertaining to how Armenian literature could be explored and contextualized under the umbrella of larger\, non-compartmentalized geographic and conceptual frameworks\; and whether Mediterranean\, Post-colonial\, Diaspora\, and other studies can be effective ways of approaching Armenian texts\, across all periods.\n\nIn its consideration of how rigidly defined disciplinary boundaries in the study of national literatures include built-in notions of exclusion and self-referentiality\, this workshop encourages critical dialogue surrounding the following types of questions: \n(1) What are some effective ways in which Armenian literary texts can connect with larger intellectual discourses?\n(2) What types of specific frameworks could be utilized in studying Armenian literature\, and how would they facilitate cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of literature as a whole?\n(3) How might proposed alternate frameworks differ from past approaches? Can they be deemed both effective and suitable approaches to studying Armenian literary texts?\n(4) How might reading Armenian texts alongside other literary traditions expose moments of intercultural exchange and acculturation\; and in what ways could these types of readings contribute to better understanding cultural intersections and textual transmission from the classical to the contemporary period?\n(5) How might these types of discussions be applied to the study of other areas and fields in the Armenian tradition\, and how might they work differently in other disciplines?\n\nOrganizer: Tamar Boyadjian\, assistant professor of English and medieval literature\, Michigan State University

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.

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:Mr. B with Bob Seeley\, Rick Roe & Silvan Zingg
DESCRIPTION:Born in Flint and by now a Michigan institution\, Mr. B (Mark Braun) is a rare living link to the early days of boogie woogie\, having learned directly from legends like Little Brother Montgomery and Blind John Davis. Each spring he brings in blues and jazz singers and players that you may not have heard before for a mini musicians' summit\, right here at The Ark! This year's guests are Bob Seeley\, Rick Roe\, and Silvan Zingg! Silvan comes to the show direct from Switzerland\, but he's a master of this American style. Take it from Chuck Berry\, who says\, \"Silvan plays as if he were from St. Louis—he could be my blues brother!” Bob Seeley\, longtime house pianist at Charley's Crab restaurant in Troy\, Michigan\, and a profound influence on boogie piano players far and wide is a Michigan treasure and a frequent Mr. B partner-in-piano crime. Pianist Rick Roe is well-known to audiences in southeast Michigan and beyond—he's a first-place winner in the Great American Jazz Piano Competition\, and twice a semifinalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition.
