SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Study in Nature: Gelatin Silver Prints by Darryl Baird
DESCRIPTION:Darryl Baird is Associate Professor of Art at U-M Flint in graphic design and photography. This body of photographic work is a series of highly magnified plant sections offered as homage to natural life cycles and the inherent potential for beauty in mature forms. These images are a means to explore the cycles of all living things and a way to find understanding through the process. For this series\, Baird used antique lenses and the now discontinued Polaroid Positive/Negative 55 film. His work is included in the collections of the Detroit Institute of Art\, Museum of Fine Art in Houston\, Texas and U-M Museum of Art in Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Connections: Linoleum Block Prints by Elizabeth Busey
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Busey has been inspired by global travel to explore the forces that shape our world – growth\, pressure\, erosion and decay. Through this exploration\, she highlights patterns from many disparate perspectives in order to celebrate their universality in the natural world. Her work is created by printing multiple layers of ink onto cotton rag paper\, where a single linoleum block is gradually reduced with each color layer. Busey is a primarily self-taught printmaker who produces her work in Bloomington\, Indiana on a press made of recycled steel.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beautiful Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Michigan Union Art Lounge to see this art exhibit featuring landscape oil on canvas paintings from some of the most beautiful places in Michigan. \n\nExhibit: “Beautiful Michigan” - Landscape Paintings\, Oil on Canvas\n\nArtist: Anil Dhir\n\nArtist Statement:\nFor a painter\, Michigan offers one of the most beautiful landscapes\, whether here in Ann Arbor\, up-north or anywhere else. These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the Michigan beauty. I believe that a great painting is a like a beautifully composed piece of music. My wish is to create a painting with a simple aim of honestly capturing the very essence of what I saw\, and be able to make the viewer feel what I felt. (To read the full artist statement\, please visit campusinvolvement.umich.edu\, it is also posted with the exhibit.)\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed until Friday\, October 5th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement (uminvolvement@umich.edu) if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Semiconductor Nanowires for Artificial Retina and Renewable Applications
DESCRIPTION:Semiconductor nanowire is a very useful platform for nanoscience and engineering research. The capability of rational synthesis and band engineering allow control over the electrical\, optical\, and mechanical properties at nanoscale\, and thus enable enormous opportunities in electronics\, optoelectronics\, renewable energy\, biosensing\, and nanomedicine. In this talk\, I will first present the ultrahigh sensitive nanowire photodetectors and the use of nanoengineered artificial photoreceptors for prosthetic device applications with sensitivity beyond human eyes. Then I will discuss results of nanowire photovoltaic devices (solar cells and photoelectrochemical cells) with significant potential for enhanced device performance and energy conversion efficiency at reduced fabrication cost.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Helping People Explore Privilege:  Barriers and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Tania Israel\, Ph.D.\, Associate  Professor in the Department of Counseling\, Clinical and School Psychology at the University of California\, Santa Barbara.\n\nPresentation and discussion of privilege\, which consists of unearned advantages that are conferred on individuals based on membership or assumed membership in a dominant group\, in mental health and student affairs settings. Lack of awareness of privilege has costs to individuals\, to communities\, and to society.  When and how is it appropriate for mental health practitioners help therapy clients explore privilege? What challenges arise helping people who identify with target identities explore privileged aspects of their experience? What strategies for exploring privilege can be applied in individual and group contexts? This presentation will describe the construct of privilege\, elucidate the costs of privilege\, and identify barriers and strategies for helping individuals and groups explore privilege.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:PUBLIC is the third installment of a series of conferences exploring present predicaments in architecture and urban planning. This conference will focus on the relationships between planning\, architecture\, and the public while exploring the social impact of designs and decisions. Questions to be considered include: What role should public space play? What is the public definition of beauty? What forces enable planning and architecture to redefine culture and serve as a catalyst for change?\n\nA diverse group of experts who actively shape the public opinion of architecture and planning will respond through informal discussion to a series of four \"provocations.\" These free-ranging conversations will underscore the complexities and contradictions inherent in each provocation as well as suggest potential solutions to such predicaments. Open discussion at the end of the afternoon will encourage the audience to take part in the conversations.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Clip/Stamp/Fold
DESCRIPTION:Researched and organized by a team of Ph.D. candidates in the School of Architecture at Princeton University led by Professor Beatriz Colomina. The team included: Craig Buckley\, Anthony Fontenot\, Urtzi Grau\, Lisa Hsieh\, Alicia Imperiale\, Lydia Kallipoliti\, Olympia Kazi\, Daniel Lopez-Perez\, and Irene Sunwoo.\n\nThis exhibition tracks the critical function of independent architectural publications that were the engine of an intensely creative period of experimental architectural practice in the 1960s and 1970s. Known as \"little magazines\,\" the periodicals that proliferated during this period appeared in response to the political\, social and artistic changes of the time. The show includes manifestoes\, pamphlets\, building instruction manuals\, and a survey of magazine covers as well as professional magazines\, complemented by interviews with editors and designers of these publications.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition was given by The Guido A. Binda Lecture and Exhibition Fund
