Exhibition:Proclaiming Emancipation: The Exhibit
2012-11-16 09:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Room 100 Gallery

Other:Nanogenerators and piezotronics – from basic science to novel applications
2012-11-16 10:00 - 11:30 | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - Room 1500 EECS, 1301 Beal Ave, UM North Campus
Developing wireless nanodevices and nanosystems is of critical importance for sensing, medical science, environmental/infrastructure monitoring, defense technology and even personal electronics. It is highly desirable for wireless devices to be self-powered without using battery. We have developed nanogenerators based on piezoelectric, trioboelectric and pyroelectric effect, aiming at seeking self-sufficient power sources for mico/nano-systems. The output of the nanogenerators is now high enough to drive a wireless sensor system and charge a battery for a cell phone. For Wurtzite structures that have non-central symmetry, such as ZnO, GaN and InN, a piezoelectric potential (piezopotential) is created in the crystal by applying a strain. Such piezopotential can serve as a “gate” voltage that can effectively tune/control the charge transport across an interface/junction; electronics fabricated based on such a mechanism is coined as piezotronics, with applications in force/pressure triggered/controlled electronic devices, sensors, logic units and memory. By using the piezotronic effect, we show that the optoelectronc devices fabricated using wurtzite materials can have superior performance as solar cell, photon detector and light emitting diode. Piezotronics is likely to serve as a “mechanosensation” for directly interfacing biomechanical action with silicon based technology and active flexible electronics. This lecture will focus on the fundamental science and novel applications of nanogenerators and piezotronics.

Class / Instruction:Older Folk in Film–OLLI Study Group
2012-11-16 10:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location - Clarion Hotel & Conference Center, 2900 Jackson Ave
Although movies seem made for young people, you can still find films with sensitivity and insight about the lives of older people in different (but in some ways similar) cultures. While these films deal with the realities of aging, all are thoughtful, engaging and ultimately ennobling. The films we will screen are “Make Way for Tomorrow” (USA, 1937); “Tokyo Story” (Japan, 1953); “Away from Her” (USA, 2002); “Cloud Nine” (Germany, 2009); “After Life” (Japanese, 1999); and “Wild Strawberries” (Sweden, 1957). Bring lunch to the discussion following the screening, if you like. Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film, U of M.

Class continues Fridays, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon September 7 - August 30 at TSRC.

Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
2012-11-16 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical, social, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art, National Museum of African Art, Fowler Museum at UCLA, as well as several Detroit area private collections, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things, Embodied Time, Moving Through Time, Global Time, and "NOW."

This exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire
2012-11-16 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan, Canadian, and British collections, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation, the University of Michigan Health System, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).

Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
2012-11-16 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition "Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire," which features the Clements collection's major painting "The Death of General Wolfe." William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Exhibition:Jesper Just: "This Nameless Spectacle"
2012-11-16 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation, as in much of his work, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty, provocation, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
2012-11-16 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
The Seoul-based art collaborative, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

A virtuoso of guitar and song

communion between artist and audience. His concerts are one-of-a-kind events in which amazing guitar chops and songwriting merge into a single unit. Porter's acoustic guitar skills have drawn comparisons with those of Leo Kottke, who drew the young Willy Porterinto music the first time he heard the "6 & 12 String Guitar" album. He continues to stretch each show by incorporating performance art, live audio looping, and improvisational sketch comedy. Each tour date becomes a unique event, a musical experience much greater than just a review of past, present and future recorded work. The duo of Dave McGraw and Mandy Fer, who've just released their debut album, "Seed of a Pine," open the show.
