She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

Cody sees her work as representing the lessons in our lives – how unforeseen events are often prior to beautiful blessings. Her bead woven jewelry has been in fine art shows from Ann Arbor\, Michigan to Bellevue\, Washington and has been described as miniature works of stained glass.

In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

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.

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.

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.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

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!

Indonesia has good prospects but also many challenges as it seeks to increase investment in infrastructure and manufacturing\, to capitalize on its maritime assets and to raise employment\, productivity\, incomes and social welfare for its 250 million people.\n\nLinda Y.C.

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.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

Yet\, as the daily news and common experience make plain\, courts remain surprisingly difficult\, expensive\, and time-consuming to use. Even for the most minor of issues (which is most of what courts do)\, accessing our justice system invariably requires an in-person\, face-to-face interaction with the right person\, under the right conditions\, with the right documents\, during business hours\, often after waiting in an hours-long line. The people who suffer most as a result of this outmoded approach are those who can least afford it. Even for trivial issues\, physically going to court requires taking time off of work. For hourly workers\, this is expensive\, perhaps prohibitively so. For many others\, taking time off to address an issue isn't even possible\, not without risking their jobs. Moreover\, if the issue involved is confusing\, or if money is due\, many understandably fear what might happen to them if they do find a way to get to court (e.g.\, arrest). Confusion and fear are two of the reasons there are tens of millions of outstanding warrants for minor issues in the United States. Michigan’s Online Court Project has partnered with several state courts to allow citizens to resolve certain tickets and violations\, warrants\, outstanding fines\, and missed court dates online\, on their own time\, working directly with judges\, prosecutors\, and law enforcement to reach mutually satisfying resolutions. This is no \"rubber stamp\" reform\; in fact\, the technology can improve decision making\, making outcomes more accurate and fair. If done right\, implementing cutting-edge\, Internet-based technologies in our courts has the potential to dramatically enhance access to justice for all citizens\, especially those long left out in the cold.  UID:24877-1588555@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24877 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:2245 North Quad CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150904T111952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20150924T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20150924T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Prison Obscura DESCRIPTION:Prison Obscura presents rarely seen vernacular\, surveillance\, evidentiary\,\nand prisoner-made photographs\, shedding light on the prison industrial complex. Why do tax-paying\, prison-funding citizens rarely get the chance to see such images? And what roles do these pictures play for those within the system? With stark aesthetic detail and meticulous documentation\, Prison Obscura builds the case that Americans\nmust come face to face with these images and imaging technologies both to grasp the cancerous proliferation of the U.S. prison system and to connect with those it confines.\n\nGALLERY HOURS\nMonday - Friday\, Noon - 6:00 PM\nSunday\, Noon - 5:00 PM\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan's Department of Women's Studies and English\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Prison Creative Arts Project\, Institute for the Humanities and the LSA Dean's Office.\n\nFor more information about the Prison Obscura exhibition at UM and related programming\, contact Ruby Tapia\, Associate Professor of English and Women’s Studies\, at rtapia@umich.edu.

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.

The Role of Social Ties\"\n\nAbstract: This paper examines whether social ties sustain informal insurance when there is asymmetric information over effort. I use a laboratory experiment\, implemented with residents of slums in Nairobi\, Kenya\, that captures features of a model of risk sharing and effort provision. I find that individuals who do not know each other are 12.5% less likely to engage in risk sharing when effort cannot be observed. Socially close individuals engage in substantially higher levels of risk sharing when effort cannot be observed relative to socially distant pairs. Participants who know their partner make 57% higher transfers and are 55% more likely to engage in risk sharing than those who do not know their partner when effort cannot be observed. Thus\, this paper provides evidence that social ties sustain cooperation when effort cannot be observed. Policies to protect households vulnerable to risk should target communities with weak social ties.\n\nLight refreshments will be served.

In other words\, the talk endeavors to understand a moment when intersectionality\, a form of outsider-knowledge\, has become institutionalized\, conflated with diversity\, and deployed by universities (and women's studies departments and programs) to signal commitments to inclusion and difference. How and why did intersectionality come to institutional power in the early 2000's\, and what institutional needs - in women's studies\, and in the university more broadly - did intersectionality's emergence serve?\n\nJennifer C.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters.

Although he wasn’t out on the road much\, Tweedy was working\, writing so many songs that the musicians initially thought they had enough material for two new records when Wilco reconvened last fall in the Loft\, the group’s Chicago recording studio. \n\n“We entertained the idea of finishing both of those records independently of each other\, and then at some point\, the lines started getting blurrier and blurrier and they kind of grew together\,” Tweedy says.\n\nThe result is 12 stunning songs that showcase Wilco in a new light\, on bold rockers\, somber acoustic ballads and punchy pop songs\, bookended by the propulsive 7-minute opener “Art of Almost\,” and a meditative 12-minute closing track\, “One Sunday Morning (song for Jane Smiley’s boyfriend).” \n\nThe Whole Love is the third album by Wilco’s present lineup\, which solidified in 2004 when avant-garde guitarist Nels Cline and guitarist/keyboardist Patrick Sansone joined Tweedy\, founding bassist John Stirratt\, drummer Glenn Kotche and keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen. Together\, they released the acclaimed Sky Blue Sky in 2007 and the Grammy-nominated Wilco (The Album) in 2009. The Whole Love\, though\, captures the vibrant energy the band brings to its live performances. \n\n“This record happened because we’ve been together longer\,” Tweedy says. “Because we’ve played more shows together\, because we have a lot more faith and trust in each other\, and it sounds more natural than the last two. You just can’t fake that\, you can’t make that happen\, it’s experience.” \n\nExperience also pushed Tweedy further as a lyricist\, something he credits to letting his mind wander away from the band’s extensive back catalog while writing new songs. \n\n“I feel really good about the way the songs have all come together\, and the lyrics especially\,” he says. “I don’t feel like I’m repeating myself\, which is the best I think you can hope for after writing\, I don’t know\, a couple thousand songs.”\n\nTweedy produced The Whole Love with Sansone and Tom Schick (Rufus Wainwright\, Norah Jones\, Ryan Adams). The singer describes a deeply collaborative process as the musicians worked together to shape Tweedy’s songs into reflections of their considerable talents. \n\n“There’s just a lot of patience involved in how we’re able to work together as a band of guys who have been in bands for a long time and have made a lot of records\,” Tweedy says. “I think we’re very fortunate to be relatively mature as a rock band in our ability to be patient with each other and with the songs themselves.”\n\nPatient\, but not too patient. \n\n“The environment of the band is as much conducive to people feeling invested and having their ideas entertained as you can have in a band without just spending the rest of your life micromanaging every little decision by committee\,” Tweedy says. “We’d still be working on A.M. if that was the way it worked. We’re talking about a fucking three-chord pop song: Just finish it\, you asshole. Christ.” \n\nThe Whole Love is the first album Wilco is releasing on its own dBpm Records\, which the band founded earlier this year with headquarters in Easthampton\, MA. Anti- distributes dBpm\, which debuted the first single from the album\, “I Might\,” b/w a droll cover of Nick Lowe’s “I Love My Label\,” in June at the second-annual Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival at MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) in western Massachusetts. \n\nThe new album is the latest step in the ongoing evolution of Wilco\, which Tweedy founded in 1994 after the dissolution of his previous group\, alt-country standardbearers Uncle Tupelo. From its raucous roots-rock origins\, Wilco over the years has expanded its sound to encompass classic pop and genre-spanning experimentalism. Wilco also teamed with English singer Billy Bragg in the late ’90s at the invitation of Woody Guthrie’s daughter\, who invited them to collaborate on setting to music some of the folk icon’s previously unrecorded lyrics\, resulting in a pair of highly regarded Mermaid Avenue albums. \n\nAlthough Wilco has accrued critical acclaim from the start\, the band in the ’90s increasingly found itself at odds with its record company\, Reprise. Wilco proved willing to compromise on 1999’s Summerteeth\, but the relationship fell apart in 2001\, when the label declined to release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and dropped the band. Nonesuch stepped in to release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot the following year\, and the album has since become Wilco’s top-selling effort so far. (The making of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the subject of Sam Jones’ 2002 film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.) Wilco recorded three subsequent albums for Nonesuch\, including 2005’s Grammy-winning A Ghost is Born\, before the band decided to start its own record company.\n\nThough dBpm (which stands for “decibels per minute”) has changed the business end of the band’s operation\, the creative end remains largely untouched. \n\nSince Summerteeth\, “We’ve gone back and gone about things almost exactly the same way every time\, and that is\, at the end of the day\, we want a record we’re really proud to put on our shelves and know that we did the best that we could do\,” Tweedy says. He laughs and adds\, “And fuck ’em. Now it’s the same thing\, except there’s really no one to say ‘fuck ’em’ to. Just ourselves.” \n\nIn addition to launching Solid Sound and dBpm with Wilco\, Tweedy also produced Mavis Staples’ Grammy-winning 2010 album You Are Not Alone. Outside Wilco\, Stirratt and Sansone lead folk-pop group The Autumn Defense\, Cline fronts the free-jazz instrumental group The Nels Cline Singers\, Jorgensen helms pop-rock band Pronto and Kotche performs solo\, in the duo On Fillmore\, and has collaborated with Tweedy in Loose Fur. \n\nWilco will spend most of the autumn on tour\, and audiences will get to fall in love with songs from The Whole Love starting Sept. 13 in Indianapolis and continuing with a European jaunt that begins Oct. 24 in Glasgow. \n\n“We’re all really excited and really proud of it and really happy with the way it came together\,” Tweedy says. “I think everybody in the band feels like they were given more free rein to do what they want to do. I think everybody enjoyed the process of making this record.”\n\nWilco are:\nJeff Tweedy – guitars\, vocals\nJohn Stirratt – bass\, vocals \nGlenn Kotche –drums\, percussion\nNels Cline – guitars\nPatrick Sansone – guitars\, keyboards\, vocals\nMikael Jorgensen – keyboards\, vocals\n\nWilco discography:\nAM (1995)\nBeing There (1996)\nMermaid Avenue (1998)\nSummerteeth (1999)\nMermaid Avenue Vol. II (2000)\nYankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002)\nA Ghost Is Born (2004)\nKicking Television: Live in Chicago (2005)\nSky Blue Sky (2007)\nWilco (The Album) (2009)\nThe Whole Love (2011) UID:23272-1422538@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23272 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150813T121514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20150924T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Kaprálová Festival: Piano Recital DESCRIPTION:Program featuring the works of Vítězslava Kaprálová (1915–1940)\n\nAnnie Jeng performing: Pět klavírních skladeb [Five piano compositions] (1931–1932) I.

It should come as little surprise\, then\, that his stunning new album\, Carry The Ghost\, is so heavily influenced by existential philosophy. What's so striking\, though\, is hearing a 25-year-old articulate such weighty themes\, packaging them into heartbreakingly gorgeous melodies with a plainspoken language that cuts to the quick upon first listen.

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.

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).

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

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!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

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.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

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.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south.

The installation was started in 1986 by artist and local resident Tyree Guyton who covered abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with found objects and paintings that express vivid personal\, social\, and sometimes political themes. The street was gradually transformed into a lively\, visually arresting\, and often controversial work of art that not only energized the local community but attracted visitors from around the world. Over the last three decades\, the project has morphed from the work of a single artist into a broad-based collaboration between Guyton\, Executive Director Jenenne Whitfield\, and their team of volunteers.\n \nOn the occasion of the 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project\, Tyree Guyton and Jenenne Whitfield look back over their dramatic journey as they contemplate new possibilities for the future. Exhibition curator MaryAnn Wilkinson will offer remarks about the exhibition at UMMA and Mr. Guyton’s work within the context of the global art community.\n \nBrowse the exhibition\; and light refreshments will follow the program. Lead 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\, Lisa Applebaum\, and the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

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 first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

The first exhibition\, Pattern’s Presence\, was during January 2014 at Grand Valley State University’s Padnos Art Gallery. Since then it’s traveled to East Lansing’s Scene Metrospace in January of this year\, then to Have Company in Grand Rapids in March. This is it’s third conception\, showcasing many new artists.\n\nBeyond Material is curated by Kate Garman. She is an independent curator and artist\, currently living in Grand Rapids. In between curating Beyond Material\, she has also had the opportunity to expand her own work through multiple exhibitions\, both collaborative and solo. By day she is a designer for Scott Group Custom Carpets\, still allowing time to complete various artistic side projects.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

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!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues.

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 first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

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!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

The Steel Wheels have captured audiences across the country with their heady brew of original soulful mountain music. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia\, this dynamic band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound. Trent Wagler’s weathered tenor is joined by bell-clear four-part harmonies inspired by a shared Mennonite heritage. Add to this Eric Brubaker’s lively and evocative fiddle\, Brian Dickel’s grounded yet buoyant upright bass\, and Jay Lapp’s signature mandolin style\, and it’s no surprise that The Steel Wheels have conquered the Americana scene\, becoming festival favorites and selling out venues across the country. \"Americana music at its very best!\" said Larry Groce of \"Mountain Stage.\" As the band thrives\, so do their partnerships with local businesses\, artisans\, and charitable organizations. The values portrayed in their music—devotion to roots\, community\, and family—are a way of life for The Steel Wheels\, and this is reflected in everything from production process and booking agency to merchandise and touring. Opening the evening will be Michigan's own RFD Boys\, who've been with The Ark for almost all of our 50 years.\n\nTickets above the $50 level—$125\, $250 and $500—are available from The Ark office.

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.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics.

The focus will be upon both policies and politics. With respect to the former\, the use of both price-based measures (using financial incentives) and quantity-based measures (reserving parts of the broader market for renewables) will be examined. And with respect to the latter\, the impact of political context\, entrepreneurs and ideas will be investigated. Finally\, the importance of multi-level governance – that is\, the impact of local communities’ desires to be empowered\, the influence of the Canadian federal government and the consequences of international trade law – will also be explored.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nIan Rowlands is a Professor in the Department of Environment and Resource Studies at the University of Waterloo (Ontario\, Canada). He is also the Associate Dean\, Strategic Initiatives in the University’s Faculty of Environment. Professor Rowlands has research interests in areas associated with sustainable energy policy\, with a particular interest in grid modernization. His research and consulting activities during the past two decades have led to collaborations with many community\, governmental and private sector partners\, including Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator\, Natural Resources Canada\, the International Energy Agency\, the United Kingdom Department for International Development and Sustainable Waterloo Region. Before joining the University of Waterloo in 1998\, Prof. Rowlands held positions with the United Nations Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment in Denmark and the London School of Economics and Political Science in the United Kingdom.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell.

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.

Tyree Guyton\, New Work DESCRIPTION:The fifteen works of art presented in “What Time Is It?” emerge from Guyton's well-known Heidelberg Project\, a dynamic outdoor intervention covering two city blocks in the Paradise Valley neighborhood of southeast Detroit. It is work that addresses the difficult social and economic challenges that the citizens of Detroit have faced over the last fifty years. This exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio.

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.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days.

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!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

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 first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

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 interactions are shaped by the display of markers of difference—the central theoretical contribution of Kerschbaum’s Toward a New Rhetoric of Difference—as we work to present ourselves in ways that we hope our students (and others) will take up and recognize. This talk will first introduce markers of difference and how they work in everyday communication. It will then extend the concept of marking difference to explore interview data with disabled faculty members as they explain how they negotiate decisions to disclose (or not disclose) disability in the classroom. Such questions about identity and its uptake by others are not unique to disabled faculty\, nor are they tangential or incidental to student learning and our pedagogical practice.

Tyree Guyton\, New Work DESCRIPTION:The fifteen works of art presented in “What Time Is It?” emerge from Guyton's well-known Heidelberg Project\, a dynamic outdoor intervention covering two city blocks in the Paradise Valley neighborhood of southeast Detroit. It is work that addresses the difficult social and economic challenges that the citizens of Detroit have faced over the last fifty years. This exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press.

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!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues.

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 first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

But is there a place for forgiveness in our rage? Are the two mutually exclusive? In this talk\, I argue that the standard and expanded accounts of forgiveness are a burden to those who are oppressed. I argue for an ‘Outraged Forgiveness’ that focuses on justice. Outraged Forgiveness also allows the oppressed to extend compassion\, express self-respect\, and more importantly keep their rage.\n\nThis event is hosted by Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) UID:24856-1586372@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24856 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150827T125456 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20150930T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20150930T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Material: Woven Values DESCRIPTION:Beyond Material is a traveling show of work conceptually responding to the history of fiber as a craft as well as the materiality of textiles work. The first exhibition\, Pattern’s Presence\, was during January 2014 at Grand Valley State University’s Padnos Art Gallery. Since then it’s traveled to East Lansing’s Scene Metrospace in January of this year\, then to Have Company in Grand Rapids in March. This is it’s third conception\, showcasing many new artists.\n\nBeyond Material is curated by Kate Garman. She is an independent curator and artist\, currently living in Grand Rapids. In between curating Beyond Material\, she has also had the opportunity to expand her own work through multiple exhibitions\, both collaborative and solo. By day she is a designer for Scott Group Custom Carpets\, still allowing time to complete various artistic side projects.

Supply-Side Socialism: Conceptualizing Consumption in the Polish People’s Republic DESCRIPTION:Even as recent scholarship has emphasized the role that consumer desire has played in the daily lives of those living in the “People’s Republics\,” this has typically been portrayed politically as either an example of systemic inadequacies (with the authorities failing to keep consumerism at bay) or as a product of a tactical concession (with the leadership offering consumerist bread-and-circuses in the hope of maintaining social docility). But we have a surprisingly incomplete—often inaccurate—understanding of what the economists and policy makers of the communist era really thought about consumption\, and how they fit it into their plans and forecasts.\n\nIn my paper I will try to reconstruct the world of those who worked in the planning offices\, university economics departments\, and government consulting committees in the Polish People’s Republic (Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa\, PRL). My sources include economics textbooks\, government reports\, transcripts from academic conferences\, MA theses and PhD dissertations in economics\, and policy debates in the PZPR Central Committee. I study these not to offer an intellectual history of economic ideas under communism\, but to understand the goals and assumptions (often implied or assumed) that shaped how the authorities in the PRL made decisions that helped determine the availability (or lack thereof) of consumer goods. The proliferation of consumer goods was in no sense an unintended consequence of socialist modernization\, nor did this stem from tactical political concessions\; rather\, policy-makers saw the provision of such goods as a crucial marker of success. The blind-spot among the PRL economists was instead elsewhere: unlike their capitalist counterparts in the 1950s and 1960s\, but very much like those who emerged in the mid- to late-1970s\, they had a fundamentally supply-side worldview that could only accommodate rational economic actors. In other words\, they could think about and plan for consumption\, but not for the “irrationality” (as they saw it) of consumer demand. They were thus poorly equipped to deal with the emerging cultural practices of consumption that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s\, but very well equipped to see the growing supply-side consensus that emerged globally in the 1980s as a means of resolving their problems.\n\nBrian Porter-Szucs is an Arthur F.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

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.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

Monson looks at how experiences of environment and ecological dependencies are registered through improvisational movement scores. Live Dancing Archive negotiates and explores what a queer ecology might offer for dancing bodies and rapidly shifting conceptions of place. The choreography draws upon more than a decade of Monson’s own dance-based environmental research\, particularly her 2002 piece BIRD BRAIN Osprey Migration. \n\nThe Living Room Series engagement includes a 20-minute performance followed by a conversation with landscape architect and collaborator Elliott Maltby\, moderated by SMTD Prof. Clare Croft.

It’s a safe place to ask questions and learn what the Bible has to say about these life questions. You don't have to believe in the Bible\, nor will you be expected to\, but you will be able to discover for yourself what the Bible talks about and to discuss this with your peers.  Our hope for this time is for relationships to be formed across different cultures and religious backgrounds and to learn from one another. It will be a very fun relational learning experience. Previous knowledge of the Bible is not required to join.

The music of Tuva's sheep and reindeer herders is best known for \"throat singing\,\" the ability of singers to produce multiple notes (a fundamental pitch plus overtones) at the same time and even to sing more than one melody simultaneously. But that's just the beginning of the wonders contained in Tuvan music\, which is thought to embody some of the oldest forms of human music-making. It is intricately linked with the forbidding natural environment in which it is made\, for one thing. And even with the depth of the tradition that Huun Huur Tu carries forward\, its members have proven themselvs adept at collaborating with Western musicians. Huun Huur Tu tours all over the world\, so Ann Arbor stops on the itinerary of this unique group are infrequent—once a decade or so. Don't miss this chance.A rare local appearance.
