Phil Solomon: American Falls

Phil Solomon will present his three-channel installation “American Falls”, which Art Forum critic Tony Pipolo describes as a “work epic in conception and form… (and that) anyone still touched by the poetic viability of the avant-garde should not miss an opportunity to see it.”  Solomon will be in attendance for a program of his own 16mm films and videos presented as part of the 50th Ann Arbor Film Festival, in the Michigan Theater on Friday, March 30th. American Falls will be on exhibition at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design’s Work • Ann Arbor gallery from March 25 - April 2 .

American Falls was originally commissioned by the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. for the museum’s grand Rotunda. Inspired by Frederic Edwin Church’s 1857 masterpiece Niagara and by Washington’s monumental war memorials, American Falls explores the aspirations and struggles that lie at the heart of the American Dream. The installation depicts scenes ranging from everyday life to major figures and events that shaped American history dissolve in and out of the waters of the Niagara Falls.  Solomon’s resources for these images include Hollywood cinema, found footage, and documentary accounts of historical events.

Solomon’s innovative use of altered film emulsion transforms Niagara Falls into a metaphoric landscape, encouraging the audience to consider how a place can reflect the events that occur on its shores. Envisioning the currents of history as a collective dream, American Falls considers many of the questions inherent in our national identity, at a crucial moment in this country’s passage.

While relatively unknown among contemporary art audiences, Phil Solomon has achieved a high level of recognition in the world of experimental and avant-garde cinema. Solomon has been included in New York’s prestigious Whitney Biennial of American Art twice. His films have been screened at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the New York Film Festival; the Sundance Film Festival; and at many other prestigious national and international festivals and venues. He has won a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship (1993) and The Thatcher Hoffman Smith Award (2007), as well as grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Creative Capital Foundation. His films are included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Art Institute of Chicago, among many other institutions. A longtime colleague of (and collaborator with)
legendary filmmaker Stan Brakhage, Solomon is a Professor of Film Studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder.  For more information, visit: http://www.philsolomon.com/.

17th Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners

March 20 – April 4, 2012, with an opening reception on March 20th from 5:30 - 8 pm.
Duderstadt Center Gallery on the University of Michigan’s North Campus: 2281 Bonisteel Boulevard
Exhibition hours are 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday, and 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. Sunday - Monday.

This year’s exhibition, curated by Buzz Alexander, A&D Associate Professor Janie Paul, Sari Adelson, and Jason Wright, exhibits work from over forty prisons throughout the state.

Over the past 17 years, this nationally recognized show has grown to be the largest exhibition of prisoner art in the country.  This year’s exhibition will include more than 300 works of art by over 200 artists, shedding light on the talents to be found behind prison walls and encouraging the public to take a second look. 

Free and open to the public, the exhibition and surrounding educational events raise awareness and inspire dialogue between the incarcerated and the community at large. The public is invited to an opening reception on March 20th from 5:30 - 8 p.m. in the gallery.  Formerly incarcerated artists who have now re-entered into the community will speak about what the show means to those in prison.

Participating artists express gratitude to organizers and gallery visitors alike, stressing the show’s impact on their lives and the community at large.  “I believe that your program gives the public a glimpse into the type of things that inspire even the most downtrodden of us all” writes one artist. “When people see our work, for a few moments, they forget that this work was done by a felon, but by another human being.  A human being who has the same thoughts, emotions, and inspirations as they do, and for that one moment, a major social and political barrier is shattered.”

Despite limited resources, exhibition artists create work in a rich range of styles, mediums, and themes.  Visitors return to the show year after year to glimpse art that is remarkable for its originality, beauty, and sheer expressive power.  Last year, over 4,000 people came to the exhibit.  Organizers expect even higher attendance this year and an exciting array of new work. 

This year’s exhibition, curated by Buzz Alexander, Janie Paul, Sari Adelson, and Jason Wright, exhibits work from over forty prisons throughout the state.  The curator along with various volunteers travel to these prisons to hand select the strongest work from the artists. As a result of this annual event, the amount of art created in Michigan prisons has increased dramatically, and Michigan prison artists have become national leaders, inspiring others to create art behind bars.

The exhibition is to be accompanied by the release of the 4th Annual Literary Review of Creative Writing by Michigan Prisoners, readings of works from the publication by formerly incarcerated individuals are set to take place both in Ann Arbor and in the Detroit area, and youth from Detroit will join us for a dialog about what’s on their minds, as they speak about their lives and their communities.  For full schedule of events please contact the PRISON CREATIVE ARTS PROJECT: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/pcap/whatwedo/artshow

10°

10°: First Year MFA Student Exhibition

One Night Only: Friday, February 3, 6 - 9 pm
Faculty/Graduate Studios, 1919 Green Rd, Ann Arbor

For their inaugural annual exhibition, the first-year MFA students of UM School of Art & Design present work in various degrees or phases of completion, showcasing art in all media created over the past five months. If a degree can be defined as a stage in a process, a relative intensity, or the extent, measure or scope of an action or state of being, then these 10 artists each display radically different measures, actions and states of their particular medium. Action is translated to canvas, fiber, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video and graphic design. Works will fill the foyer and common space of the newly renovated Faculty/Grad Studios, formerly the UM Printing Services building on North Campus. It will be the first student show mounted in this new space since its formal opening in October. 

10° Artists: Ann Bartges, Mia Cinelli, Molly Dierks, Parisa Ghaderi, Chantal Gibson, John Gutoskey, Juliet Hinely, Peter Leix, Rolando Palacio and Katie St. Clair

Love for Sale

Love for Sale: You Know You Need It
Curated by Ryan Standfest
January 13 - February 24, 2012
Reception on Valentine’s Day - Tuesday, February 14 from 6 - 9 pm

The title, after both the Cole Porter song and another by the Talking Heads, is meant as an ironic gesture signaling the paradox of selling created need; that is, to make consumers want what you tell them to love. LOVE FOR SALE, the exhibition, is meant to address the image as a means of selling, of creating need.

Art and commerce have long been linked. The notion of the art market, of art to be sold as commodity, stretches as far back into history as the moment when the production of an image was followed by the trading, selling or stealing of that image. The more valuable the image becomes, the more highly sought after it is. Often this translates into the image being constructed to fulfill or live up to the desires of the market; to become a signifier of wealth. However, images have also been used to sell things other than the images themselves, to serve as advertisement– as the vehicle of seduction for other ideas, other objects, other beliefs, other images. This advertising image is constructed with an innate understanding of how to connect with those who may be looking for something to want; those with a need to fill.

LOVE FOR SALE will elicit responses from thinkers/makers in relation to the concept of image as a generator of need; art as commodity. Artists may propose images that serve as advertisements for either the artwork itself, or at the service of something other than itself. This may result in the parody of precious art objects, of art market or capital market strategies in general, of commercial advertising and its various techniques of seduction. Such a call for work can lay bare the very construction of the commodified image, and the means by which to critique and examine it as a potent force in our daily life.

The gallery space may address the central theme of the exhibit by transforming itself into a storefront, a strategy used by the artist Claes Oldenburg in 1961 when he merged a storefront shop with his functioning studio on New York’s Lower East Side. Small changes can place the gallery within the context of the storefront — sale placards and stickers hung from the ceiling, on the streetside windows, or next to artworks; mild advertising jingles playing on a speaker here and there; retail displays, shelving, and grocery carts; and a catalog in the form of a grocery store’s newsprint advertising supplement.

These strategies of engagement with the audience can present, as the Cole Porter tune goes, “Old love, new love, anything but true love.”

Perspectives on Pain

How do we begin to talk about pain, to share and explore it? While ubiquitous, pain remains a profoundly personal experience that many do not discuss or reveal. We hide it, we mask it, we manage it, but rarely are we implored to talk about pain. So how does one describe and depict pain? Can we find constructive ways of expressing it?

Each of the works presented in Perspectives on Pain offers an array of approaches in uncovering the nuances of this difficult subject.  Some may bring about catharsis through transformation or escape, while others prompt us to examine our own feelings of loss and recovery. 

This exhibition is an opportunity for reflection. We hope that it will create a reinforced sense of humanity and collectiveness among viewers: bringing us closer to confronting our own experiences of pain, and reminding us that—through pain—we remain connected to one another. 

Curated by Adrianne Finelli and Dan F Friedlaender, Perspectives on Pain is open December 2 - 30 at Work•Detroit.

Opening Reception: Friday, December 2, 6 - 9 pm.

City of Pieces: Street Interventions

City of Pieces: Street Interventions
Curated by Beth Diamond

Twenty-five years ago, Tyree Guyton responded to the decay and abandonment of his eastside childhood neighborhood by transforming what had been considered garbage into a two-block long environmental artscape infused with energy, social critique and vision. Declared to be the “spiritual godfather of the Detroit grassroots art scene” by the Detroit Free Press, Guyton has inspired other visionaries to be urban bricoleurs – remaking the city from the pieces left behind. All over Detroit alternative arts and architectures have been emerging which challenge the ways people are now looking at the city.

City of Pieces: Street Interventions showcases the work of street artists and photographers outside of traditional art venues in Detroit. Featured are visionary design proposals for the future Heidelberg Cultural Village, as well as large-scale outdoor sculpture projects created by Art & Design students for the Heidelberg Installation Studio. Curated by Beth Diamond, this exhibition runs from October 21 - November 8, with an opening reception on Friday, October 21 from 6 - 9 pm.

The Subtle Art of Matchmaking November 3 & 4, 2011

How does this event work?

We’re turning traditional speed dating upside down — well, not exactly upside down. Maybe sideways. Or at least, nudging it a little in a funny way. Instead of speed talking your way through 10 or more potential partners, you’ll be participating in 10 or more activities–activities we’re calling creative. Nothing that would make you incredibly self-conscious, and nothing that will require more than 30% of your concentration. The activities are designed to improve your interaction with a potential partner by giving you a common, interesting project. Make conversation as you select an item from our costume bin or collaborate on writing a ghost story. Don’t like a particular station? No problem — you’ll be leaving it in five minutes for a more interesting one! Like the person you sculpted push pots with? Great! Mark his/her name on your card and at the end of the night, we’ll tally the results. You’ll receive an email from us a few days later with a way to get in touch with all your new dates.

Make the most of five minutes. Make connections with interesting local singles while interacting in fun, creative ways.

Nothing to Say

This exhibition is concerned with examining nothingness, quiet, less is more, what is there and not there, and nonsense. The title comes from John Cage who commented, “I have nothing to say, and I’m saying it”; when referring to his 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence performance.  “Nothing” can actually evoke “everything,” or at least an unexpected fullness (as in john Cage’s silence).

Featuring work by Lynne Avadenka, Jim Cogswell, Iris Eichenberg, Cynthia Greig, Paul Kotula, Michael Krueger, Melanie Manos, Stephen Prina, Jon Swindler and Cody VanderKaay.  Curated by Kathleen McShane-Bolton.

Exhibition runs September 9 - October 7.

Topophilia

“Human beings have persistently searched for the ideal environment… seeking for a point of equilibrium that is not of this world.” - Yi-Fu Tuan
This exhibition proposes explorations on the theme of Topophilia, a term coined by geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, defined as the “emotional connections between physical environment and human beings.”

Topophilia showcases work by both national and international artists, including Ajit Chauhan (San Francisco), Richard Mosse (New York), Soo Shin (Chicago), Philip Topolovac (Berlin) and Yumiko Ono (Tokyo/Prague).  The exhibition is made possible, in part by the University of Michigan International Institute Fund for Exhibitions and the University of Michigan School of Art & Design.
