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. Linda Stephen's origami art landscapes are part of public and private collections across the U.S. and Japan\, from the JW Marriott Grand Rapids’ Sister City Collection to the City Hall in Omihachiman\, Japan.

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:Workshop / Seminar:The Rebel Farmer Returns
DESCRIPTION:World-renowned farmer and permaculture master Sepp Holzer visits SE Michigan this April for an incredible three-day\, hands-on installation course\, as well as a public lecture at the University of Michigan.\n\nSepp Holzer has pioneered the use of ecological farming and permaculture throughout the world\, practices that help to counter modern agricultural crises such as drought\, pesticide pollution\, loss of biodiversity and soil erosion. Sepp began farming this way in Austria in the 1960s after being unsuccessful with conventional agriculture methods. He is known as the \"rebel farmer\" because he persisted in these practices despite being fined and even threatened with prison. His working farm in the Austrian Alps receives thousands of students and visitors each year.\n\nHolzer Permaculture is a natural form of agriculture\, based on the cycles and interactions found in nature. In addition to farming\, animal husbandry\, fruit growing\, aquaculture\, horticulture\, and agroforestry\, Sepp works to regenerate and remediate damaged landscapes. This includes the building of terraces\, raised beds\, water gardens\, soil reservoirs\, wet biomes and ponds in order to create resilient ecosystems and microclimates. These strategies have proven that working in harmony with nature is not only ecologically sound\, but can also be economically successful.\n\n\"Learn to speak with Nature. Learn to assess her accurately. Ask yourself what she offers you. Those who learn to observe will identify niches in production and in all areas of farming\, making it possible for a good living.\" – Sepp Holzer\n\nIn May of 2012\, Sepp made his first ever visit to the Midwest for a hands-on installation course at Detroit’s Catherine Ferguson Academy. Students worked with Sepp to install one of his signature \"kratergartens” – gardens or small-scale farms built upon a substructure of craters and mounds – and the results were nothing short of astonishing. The upcoming three-day course will provide another opportunity to travel and work with Holzer – this time to create TWO of his signature permaculture installations\, in Ypsilanti and Highland Park.\n\nThe events this April\, 2013 include:\n\nPublic lecture by Sepp at The Rackham Amphitheatre\, University of Michigan (Rackham Building\, 4th floor)\, Tuesday\, April 2nd\, 6:30 – 9:00 pm – open to the public\n\n3-day installation course\, April 2nd – 4th (in Ann Arbor\, Highland Park and Ypsilanti) – space for 40 registered participants only. Includes 3 days of hands-on learning plus a private dinner and movie with Sepp on Wednesday\, April 3rd. For more information or to register: www.chiwarapermaculture.com

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:Lecture / Discussion:Renowned psychology\, epidemiology\, and genetics expert to deliver Psychiatry's 2nd annual Greden Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars for a presentation by Duke University's Avshalom Caspi\, who will discuss “Young Children's Self-control and the Health and Wealth of their Nation” at the U-M Department of Psychiatry's 2nd-annual John F. Greden Scholar in Residence Lecture on April 3.\n\nPolicy-makers are considering large-scale early intervention programs to enhance children's self-control\, with the aim of reducing crime and improving citizens' health and wealth. Experimental studies and economic analyses are suggesting that such programs could reap benefits for a nation. Yet\, how important is childhood self-control for the health\, wealth\, and public safety of the adult population? Could early interventions enhancing the population's self-control skills reduce taxpayer costs of crime control\, health care\, and old-age dependency?  This talk will review evidence from a number of population-representative cohort studies and discuss the implications of their findings. Continuing education credits are available.\n\nDr. Caspi is the Edward M. Arnett Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke. His research spans the fields of psychology\, epidemiology\, and genetics. His current work is concerned with these questions:\n\n* How do childhood experiences shape the course of health inequalities across the life span? \n\n* How do genetic differences between people shape the way they respond to their environments? \n\n* What are the best ways to assess and measure personality differences between people? \n\nDr. Caspi’s recent honors include a A.W. Mellon Visiting Fellowship at the University of Capetown\, South Africa\, the Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize for Productive Youth Development\, and the NARSAD Ruane Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Childhood Psychiatric Disorders.\n\nDr. Caspi will also present a talk on “The Ballad of the Serotonin Transporter Gene” on April 2 at 4 pm in the Kahn Auditorium at the Biomedical Science Research Building (BSRB)\, 109 Zina Pitcher Place.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Paul Dirac Collegiate Professorship in Physics Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:There are networks in almost every part of our lives. Some of them are familiar and obvious: the Internet\, the power grid\, the road network. Others are less obvious but just as important. The patterns of friendships or acquaintances between people form a social network\; the species in an ecosystem join together to form a food web\; the workings of the body's cells are dictated by a metabolic network of chemical reactions. As large-scale data on these networks and others have become available in the last few years\, a new science of networks has grown up\, drawing on ideas from physics\, math\, computer science\, biology\, and other fields to shed light on systems ranging from bacteria to the whole of human society. This lecture will describe some new discoveries regarding networks\, how those discoveries were made\, and what they can tell us about the way the world works.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: John Comazzi\, College of Design\, University of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION: John Comazzi is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Minnesota where he teaches design studios and research seminars at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. He holds a Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Architecture History & Theory from the University of Michigan\, and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Virginia. From 1999-2000 he was a Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Michigan before joining the architecture faculty at the University of Minnesota in 2006. Through teaching\, practice and research his scholarship explores the role of architecture photography in design disciplines and design pedagogy as a model of integrated learning in PK-12 education. In addition to his teaching\, he has practiced as a designer in Virginia\, Michigan and Minnesota.\n\nHe is author of Balthazar Korab: Architect of Photography (Princeton Architectural Press\, 2012)\, an illustrated biography on the life and career of Balthazar Korab\, one of the most celebrated photographers of architecture practicing during the second half of the twentieth century. The book is the first dedicated solely to Korab's life and career\, and traces his rather circuitous path from post-war Hungary to his professional pursuits as a designer in the office of Eero Saarinen (1955-58) and his career as a professional photographer of architecture (1958-2010).\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by:\n\n    A.
