It's back! Brought to you by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS), GalleryDAAS celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip hop with “Hip Hop @ 50,” an exhibition highlighting this constantly evolving phenomenon. Explore various aspects of hip hop culture, including definitions, dates, divas, the Detroit scene, and a special tribute to J Dilla (James Dewitt Yancey), a prolific producer. Through examining the five pillars of hip hop — rapping, break dancing, DJing, graffiti and historical knowledge — it becomes evident that what began as a musical genre has impacted society, fashion, language, entertainment and even politics. Visitors will also be treated to a GREAT playlist! The gallery is open Monday–Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture, colored by memory. The works are sensory, physical, immediate, reaffirming, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work.

During her residency, the artist and her support team, which includes her mother and translator, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.

About Ericka Lopez
Born 1987 in Mexico, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic, fiber, and mixed media constructions, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate, dynamic, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch, consisting of threads, buttons, beads, fabric scraps, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.

Ericka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition, “Continuous Touch,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

Susan Moran’s work is inspired by the natural world and our place in it. She collects and arranges images, builds and subtracts, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen, shibori, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.

Steve Glazer earned his BFA in art with a concentration in ceramics from Eastern Michigan University, a master’s degree in art from Central Michigan University, and MFA in fine arts and ceramics from Indiana State University. Since 2004, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.

Throughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota, where no skyscrapers exist, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit, Glazer began his griot series, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

This exhibit explores the characters of Mrs. Dalloway through the lens of WWI and its aftershocks. It looks at those who fought in the trenches and those who watched from afar.

[The exhibit includes references to suicide and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which might be distressing for some visitors. Viewer discretion is advised.]

While all of the action in Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece takes place on a single day, as preparations are made for Clarissa Dalloway’s evening party, Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing takes us in the characters’ minds all the way from English drawing rooms to colonial India to the trenches of World War I.

Organized By: Judaic Studies

In Fall 2024, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature works by two exciting visual artists: Rafael Neis and Anne Vetter.

Vetter’s photography exhibition, “Love is Not the Last Room” is made in collaboration with the artist’s family—their parents, their brothers, and their partner. It is an examination of play and leisure, tension and freedom. Through photographs, Vetter processes how they learned to relate in their most intimate connections, and how they relate now. This project explores queer familial relationships, and uses Vetter’s own gender fluidity as a lens to examine the gendered experiences of their family members.

Neis and Vetter’s exhibits will be on view from September 3 - December 6, 2024. A reception with the artists is planned for September 17 from 5-6:30 PM in the exhibit space.
The fall exhibits are presented with support from the Department of Women's & Gender Studies, the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies, and the CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Located on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street), the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm

KIN assembles the queer beings who dwell beyond the confines of binary gender and species categories. It highlights communities whose members and affiliations strain normative arrangements of “nature” and “culture.” KIN transmutes these categories by its joinings of oddbods and oddkin. It envisions worlds in which creatures form kinship beyond the monogamous, cisheterosexual, human family unit.

Transversing painting, drawing, comics, and installation, KIN’s menagerie of media, draws on ancient Jewish sources, demi-fictional autobiography, deviant zoology, and a love for the materiality of mark-making itself. Process, rather than product; becoming, rather than stasis; collaboration rather than closure: this is KIN’s hope.

The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky), ritual cloths (rushnyky), and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine; some stitches are universally known, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.

To see photos and read more about exhibited items, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA

The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein, Solomia Soroka, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck, Michigan.

The exhibit opens on September 5, 2024, in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.
