SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blown Away: epiphany studios glass
DESCRIPTION:A glassmaker from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, April Wagner creates beautiful hand-blown glass at her studio – epiphany studios in Pontiac\, Michigan. Wagner has been working with molten glass since 1993\, and she creates each piece by hand working at a 2000 °F furnace.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Sergei Guriev\, professor of economics\; president\, Center for Economic and Financial Research\; and rector\, New Economic School.\n\nProfessor Guriev will discuss convergence - the hypothesis that poorer economies' per capita income will grow at faster rates than richer economies - among Russian regions. His findings indicate that while there was no convergence in the 1990s\, the situation changed dramatically in the 2000s. While interregional GDP per capita gaps still persist\, the differentials in incomes and wages decreased substantially. The data shows that fiscal redistribution did not play a major role in convergence\, and therefore his study looks at panel data on the interregional reallocation of capital and labor to try to understand the phenomenon of recent convergence. Guriev finds that capital markets in Russian regions are integrated in such a way that local investment does not depend on local savings\, and that economic growth and financial development has substantially decreased the barriers to labor mobility. While during the 1990s many poor Russian regions were in a poverty trap\, in which potential workers wanted to leave those regions but could not afford to finance the move\, by the 2000s (especially the late 2000s)\, these barriers were no longer binding because overall economic development allowed even the poorest Russian regions to emerge from these poverty traps. In this lecture\, Guriev will compare the interregional gaps in incomes\, wages\, and unemployment rates in Russia and Europe\, and explore how economic growth and development of financial and real estate markets affect the potential for convergence.\n\nSergei Guriev is professor of economics and Rector at the New Economic School in Moscow\, where he is also president of the Center for Economic and Financial Research. Guriev's research interests include contract theory\, corporate governance\, and labor mobility. He teaches graduate courses in microeconomic theory\, contract theory\, and economics of strategy. Guriev has published in international refereed journals including American Economic Review\, Journal of European Economic Association\, Journal of Economic Perspectives\, and American Political Science Review.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The History of 10 Percent
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is presented by Stuart Michaels\,senior research scientist\, Academic Research Centers\, NORC at the University of Chicago  \n\nThis lecture by Stuart Michaels traces the reception of the 1948 and 1953 Kinsey surveys of sexual behavior by the emerging LGBT movement in the United States. It investigates the relation between the production and consumption of scientific knowledge and sexual politics. How did Kinsey’s explicit argument against the homosexual as a separate species become the source of the widespread belief that 10 percent of the U.S. population is homosexual? Ten percent was first articulated by Mattachine founder Harry Hay in the early 1950s and coincided with a new conception of homosexuals as a minority. This talk illuminates the role of social scientific measurement in controversies and tensions around sexual identity politics\, from the homophile period\, \n\nStuart Michaels is a senior research scientist in the Academic Research Centers of NORC at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on conceptual and methodological problems in the study of sexuality\, especially sexual orientation as a multidimensional construct in representative population surveys. He is a coauthor of the The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the U.S.\, as well as numerous book chapters and peer-reviewed articles. His current research projects include a five-year longitudinal study of the effects of social networks of young black men who have sex with men on health risk/reduction practices and a project evaluating methods to improve data monitoring efforts for the national HIV/AIDS strategy in the United States. through gay liberation\, to today.\n\nThis event is sponsored by LGQRI.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Alejandro Escovedo
DESCRIPTION:Alejandro Escovedo's life reads like a primer in renewal. He was around at the dawn of American punk rock in his band the Nuns\, which opened the last Sex Pistols show. His next band\, Rank and File\, virtually invented alternative country. Since then he's been a solo songwriter full of amazing stories\, a full-blast rocker\, and a survivor back from the brink of death. A superb electric guitarist\, Alejandro has forged a new and distinctive instrumental collaboration with a member of his band each time he's come to The Ark over the last several years\, and his Ark shows are not to be missed! Alejandro Escovedo comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Big Station\,\" that shows the influence of Bruce Springsteen.
