These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

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.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The exhibition\, which originated at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich\, Connecticut before traveling to UMMA\, will feature artworks from the mid-1970s to the present.\n This exhibition was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center. Lead support for UMMA’s installation is provided by Joseph and Annette Allen\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and Retirement Income Solutions.

Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and the acclaimed painter and printmaker Henry Reuterdahl.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

His story is that of a born natural\, but it’s also the story of a person who studied diligently and worked extremely hard\, striving toward his dream of a life in music. By sixth grade he began playing the electric bass guitar and in time gained proficiency on guitar\, upright bass\, cello\, drums\, even sitar. In middle school he started recording orchestral arrangements of his own voice on his karaoke machine. The incredible exposure to the entire range of timeless popular music had an intense influence on Casey’s development. He waxes rhapsodically about jazz icons like Oscar Peterson and Thelonious Monk and “the one song that really changed me: Cannonball Adderley’s version of ‘Autumn Leaves\,’ Miles plays on it.” That’s just a small part of his inspiration. He lists James Taylor\, Freddie Mercury\, AC/DC\, and even Jack Black as major influences. And it all comes together! “I want to make music that people love\, Casey says. And so he has on his eponymously titled first album.

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.

She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A.

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.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The exhibition\, which originated at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich\, Connecticut before traveling to UMMA\, will feature artworks from the mid-1970s to the present.\n This exhibition was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center.

Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and the acclaimed painter and printmaker Henry Reuterdahl.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself.

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.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The exhibition\, which originated at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich\, Connecticut before traveling to UMMA\, will feature artworks from the mid-1970s to the present.\n This exhibition was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center. Lead support for UMMA’s installation is provided by Joseph and Annette Allen\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and Retirement Income Solutions.

Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and the acclaimed painter and printmaker Henry Reuterdahl.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

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.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The exhibition\, which originated at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich\, Connecticut before traveling to UMMA\, will feature artworks from the mid-1970s to the present.\n This exhibition was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center.

Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and the acclaimed painter and printmaker Henry Reuterdahl.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

As a teenager\, Perrine became fascinated with the ragtime piano music of Scott Joplin and others\, and he taught himself how to play ragtime piano. As he studied the music and the history of that piano style\, he learned of other styles and pianists such as Eubie Blake\, Jelly Roll Morton\, Fats Waller and many others. He learned how to play and compose in each style\, and he has enjoyed performing old time piano music for nearly thirty years.

Other than in the rare circumstance that beneficiary risk tolerances exactly coincide\, portfolios chosen by trustees cannot be fully satisfactory to all parties. Due to the nature of risk aversion\, the preferences of the most risk-averse beneficiaries should strongly influence the resulting investment choices\, in some circumstances making trust portfolios very inefficient. One way to address the inefficiency introduced by common trust funds is to permit or even encourage trustees to divide trust assets and invest the parts separately.

She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

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.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The exhibition\, which originated at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich\, Connecticut before traveling to UMMA\, will feature artworks from the mid-1970s to the present.\n This exhibition was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center.

Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and the acclaimed painter and printmaker Henry Reuterdahl.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us. I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth? What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries? Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another. A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

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.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The exhibition\, which originated at the Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich\, Connecticut before traveling to UMMA\, will feature artworks from the mid-1970s to the present.\n This exhibition was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center.

Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!
