SUMMARY:"Take Your Pick" exhibition selection - UM Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, September 20 \nTime & Location:  2:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art \nUMMA invites Museum Studies Program students to an exclusive meet and greet with collector Peter Cohen\, whose photographs are the subject of UMMA’s upcoming interactive exhibition Take Your Pick.  Take Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. \n  \nWhat belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. \n  \nJoin us for an exclusive sneak preview with Peter Cohen and Assistant Curator of Photography Jennifer Friess for a discussion about this unique crowdsourcing experiment on Friday\, September 20\, 2-3 p.m. at UMMA. \n  \nAttendees will have the opportunity to cast votes and participate in the interactive components of the exhibition which opens to the public the following day. \n  \nSpace is limited so we ask that students RSVP no later than September 16 to secure their spot to briannon@umich.edu. \n  \nUMMA Take Your Pick Poster

SUMMARY:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series: Consolation\, JuYeon Kim
DESCRIPTION:Born in Seoul\, South Korea\, JuYeon Kim works and lives in New York. She has shown in both solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including New York\, Washington\, DC\, Shanghai\, and Seoul. Additionally\, Kim has been awarded several residencies such as MacDowell Colony\, Kohler Arts Center\, Triangle\, and the Roswell Artist in Residence Fellowship. Kim has also held several positions as a visiting artist and professor. A 2018–2019 Roman Witt Resident\, Kim is creating a multimedia installation work in collaboration with the Stamps School community and composer George Tsontakis that seeks to explore themes around Korean “comfort women”— the female prisoners of the Japanese army during World War II.  Kim states: “Although my installation project was conceived and initiated before my awareness of the #MeToo movement developing in the States and around the world\, it seems to me to be so poignantly connected to the historical plight of women everywhere. While the travails of the Korean ‘comfort women’ are an extreme example of women’s integrity being compromised\, the assault sadly continues on various levels and by different degrees.” \nPresented with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Institute for the Humanities. \nAdditional details can be found here.

SUMMARY:Expansive Realities: A Longer History of the “Virtual” in Art\, Architecture\, and Visual Culture
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker: Kristina Kleutghen\, David. W. Mesker Associate Professor of Art History and Archaeology\, Chinese Art and Architecture\, Washington University in St. Louis \nThe History of Art Department at the University of Michigan presents graduate student presentations for its biannual Graduate Symposium\, Expansive Realities: A Longer History of the “Virtual” in Art\, Architecture\, and Visual Culture. \nAs artistic practice increasingly engages with digital media and the virtual\, our symposium aims to foster discussions of the theoretical\, social\, and cultural nature of this phenomenon. While often linked to the digital age\, the virtual implies imagined and immersive spaces that defy material and physical boundaries.  Presentations will examine intersections between art and the virtual in a variety of historical and cultural contexts\, investigating the virtual not only in relation to contemporary visual culture\, but also as a phenomenon extending to the pre-modern periods of the history of art. \nCo-sponsored by UM Museum Studies Program\, UM Museum of Art\, Department of Classical Studies\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Department of American Culture\, Comparative Literature\, Confucius Institute\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Slavic Languages & Literatures\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology

SUMMARY:EIHS Symposium: Museum Stories: The Ethics of Collecting
DESCRIPTION:What constitutes rightful ownership of cultural objects? The unprecedented looting of modern wars as well as various protest movements have spawned international regulations\, declarations\, and efforts that offer guidance in this regard. The extant framework\, however\, falls short of exhausting the ethical problems raised by artifacts\, their histories\, and their displays. For museum and university collections these questions have gained the greatest urgency. Our panel offers reflections on this vast terrain; three case studies will follow an opening contribution by one of the foremost experts on restitution\, repatriation\, and cultural heritage law. \nPanelists:\nPatty Gerstenblith\, Distinguished Research Professor of Law\, DePaul University\nRaymond Silverman\, Professor\, History of Art\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, University of Michigan\nTerry G. Wilfong\, Director / Curator of Graeco-Roman Egyptian Collections\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, University of Michigan\nYao-Fen You\, Associate Curator\, European Sculpture and Decorative ArtsDetroit Institute of Arts\nHelmut Puff (chair)\, Elizabeth L.

SUMMARY:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. Beyond Borders: Global Africa reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series. \nLead support for Beyond Borders: Global Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, and the Museum Studies Program.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.  \nExhibit runs August 11 – November 25 at the UM Museum of Art \nThe full schedule can be found here. \n

The American History Workshop invites you to join us in considering these and other questions at our annual graduate student conference: \n  \nConstructing America: Identities\, Infrastructure and Institutions \nMay 4\, 2018 8:30am – 6pm \nMay 5\, 2018 9am – 4pm \n1014 Tisch Hall \n  \nOur keynote speaker is Professor of American Studies\, Laura Barraclough (Yale University). Her talk\, “Colonizing and Decolonizing Frontier Imaginaries in the U.S. West\,” will be Friday May 4 at 4pm. Her talk will examine three sites in which imaginaries of the “western frontier” have been constructed and deconstructed in relationship to structures of settler colonialism\, migration\, and inequality. These include: rural land-use protections for horse-keeping and western heritage in Los Angeles; Mexican Americans use of the charro (gentleman horseman) to secure public and private space in California\, Texas\, and Nevada; and the Gila River Indian Community’s purchase and operation of a Wild West-style theme park just outside of Phoenix. Her goal is to have us think about the malleability of frontier myths: how they have been used to secure settler colonialism\, but can also be repurposed for spatial justice\, decolonization\, and sovereignty. \n  \nA Public History Roundtable will take place on Saturday\, May 5\, 11:30-1:30\, featuring speakers from museum\, archival and digital humanities fields.  NOTE\, this portion of the conference has been cancelled! \n  \nWe’ll be hosting panelists representing 14 universities across the U.S. and Canada\, whose disciplines range from History\, American Studies\, Urban Planning\, English\, Architecture and more. Please see the attached posters and full schedule. Breakfast and lunch will be provided both Friday and Saturday. \n  \nPlease register here if you are interested in attending. \n  \nPlease contact Daniela Sheinin (dsheinin@umich.edu) with any questions. \n  \nCo-sponsored by:  The Department of History\, Museum Studies Program\, and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies \n  \nConstructing America schedule

SUMMARY:Curatorial Dilemmas: Representing Africa at UMMA with Pamela McClusky
DESCRIPTION:A series of talks by leading curators and thinkers in African art will launch a reimagining process for the forthcoming reinstallation of the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African Art. Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art. \nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s.  It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions.  Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004.\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art.  Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World.  She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums. \nAdditional featured speakers include:\nThursday\, October 19\, 7 p.m.: Mary (Polly) Nooter Roberts\, Professor\, UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance and Consulting Curator for African Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) \nThursday\, November 30\, 7 p.m.: Christa Clarke\, Senior Curator Arts of Global Africa\, Newark Museum \n  \n\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. \nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017). \n\nCuratorial_Dilemmas_poster

SUMMARY:Object Lessons: Recollecting Museum Histories at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Kerstin Barndt in collaboration with Richard Barnes and Amanda Krugliak\, with original commissioned artwork by Richard Barnes \nThe history of the modern research university is unthinkable without collecting. At the University Michigan\, the first objects brought to campus in the late 1830s included a piece of copper from the Upper Peninsula\, bird skins\, an Anishinaabe canoe and pressed plants. Today’s collections encompass over 25 million specimens and artifacts. As the last exhibition before the closing of the Natural History Museum in the Ruthven Museums Building\, Object Lessons activates the memory of the museums building and richly illustrates the University of Michigan’s lasting effort to build collections in support of its academic mission and for the public. \nShowcasing original objects dating from 1837 to the present\, Object Lessons affords visitors a synthetic look at 200 years of collecting for science. Museum specimens\, artifacts and documents from the archives bring into focus the University Museum’s importance to early state history\, its first global collecting expeditions\, the changing relationship between culture and nature\, science and religion; and the transformation of research and collecting practices from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Not all of U-M’s historical collections survive; the exhibition reflects this fact by focusing also on the life cycle of collections\, on points of origin and decline\, and on the shifting valorization of objects over time. \nObject Lessons draws on collections housed in the University’s research museums (Paleontology\, Zoology\, and Anthropological Archeology)\, as well as the University Herbarium\, the Museum of Natural History\, the Stephen S. Clark Map Library\, the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments\, the Bentley Historical Library\, and the University of Michigan Library. \nMore information can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:Art for Sale?  Public Trust\, Public Debt: The Detroit Institute of Arts and the City of Detroit Bankruptcy
DESCRIPTION:In the two years since the City of Detroit came out of bankruptcy\, it has not been uncommon to read in mainstream media and the blogosphere “how close the city of Detroit came to selling its art collection.”  Such was never the case and\, in his lecture\, DIA Director Emeritus\, Graham Beal\, will discuss the legal\, social and political intricacies that drove the negotiations between a shifting set of entities\, finally resulting in a creative solution that satisfied most of the moral issues\, if not many of the creditors! \n  \nGraham Beal’s early career included curatorial and director positions at museums such as the Sheffield City Art Galleries\, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis\, the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia\, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.  In 1989 he became the Director of the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha.  From 1996 to 1999 he served as the Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. \nIn 1999 he became Director of the Detroit Institute of Arts.  Beal’s innovative “populist” reinstallation of the DIA’s great art collection has been internationally influential and was a major factor in securing regional tax support in 2012 for the museum’s annual operating costs.  In 2013-14 he was a member of the team that successfully defended the collection against City of Detroit creditors and negotiated the transfer of ownership of the collection from the City to a private non-profit.  He retired from the DIA in July 2015 and served as Hannah Visiting Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University for the 2015-16 academic year.  His publications include books on the American artist\, Jim Dine\, on contemporary British sculpture\, and on the history of American painting. He is currently writing a new history of the Detroit Institute of Arts.  In December 2015 the University of Michigan conferred on him an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters. \nMarch 21 at 6:30 pm – UM Museum of Art \nBeal lecture announcement

SUMMARY:Aspiration/Obligation?  Imagining Intellectual Freedom in Museums
DESCRIPTION:Aspiration/Obligation?  Imagining Intellectual Freedom in Museums \n\nHow Do Museums Respond to Public Challenges to Their Exhibitions?\nWhat Would a National “Bill of Rights” for Museum Visitors Look Like?\nShould Museums Limit Access to Potentially Controversial Materials?\n\nSince the 1930s\, American libraries have organized their work around a set of core principles that places users and their unrestricted rights of access to information as a professional imperative.  Codified in the Intellectual Freedom Manual and supported by the staff and financial resources of the ALA’s Office of Intellectual Freedom\, these principles include such diverse topics as the need for fully cataloged and accessible collections and collections information\, the need to respond to challenged materials and issues of censorship\, the assurance of diversity in collection development\, and guarding against the economic and technological barriers to access—in all over 400 pages operationalizing a system of professional practice that is championed by the field’s highest professional organizations. \nMuseums\, too\, believe that principles of intellectual freedom are issues that matter deeply in the admittedly different nature of their work.  Yet no formal policy addressing intellectual freedom issues exists in any of the field’s leading professional organizations and few individual museums have crafted anything equivalent to the ALA’s “Library Bill of Rights” and the “Freedom to Read\,” which articulate and protect the intellectual freedom rights of visitors. \nAspiration/Obligation? Imagining Intellectual Freedom in Museums seeks to redress this gap by starting a discussion about the standards that have been established for library users and to imagine how these defining practices might be adapted in museums to assure that museum exhibitions\, collections information\, programming\, and artifacts remain available to all as we enter an uncertain future. \n  \nGuest Speakers: \nJames LaRue\, Office of Intellectual Freedom\, American Library Association \nA Model for Core Values in Museums: The Public Library and the Defense of Free Speech \n  \nSvetlana Mintcheva\, National Coalition Against Censorship \nThe Museum as Flashpoint of Controversy \n  \n  \nRespondents: \nPiotr Adamczyk\, ArtStor \nSusan Kornfield\, Bodman PLC \nJuanita Moore\, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History \n  \nFriday\, March 17 \nAmphitheatre\, Horace Rackham School of Graduate Studies\, 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. \n  \nIntellectual Freedom Program Schedule
