SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Life Line: Scratchboard Etchings
DESCRIPTION:While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art\, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design\, such as composition\, pattern\, texture\, contrast\, line\, etc. Using nature as her muse\, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Crown: Contemporary Construction of Self in America
DESCRIPTION:Note: The Gallery is open M-F 9am-5pm.\n\nThe Crown: Contemporary Construction of Self in America is an exhibit and series of programs imagined by visiting artist Shani Peters and sponsored by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Institute for the Humanities (IH).  The project will feature a video installation in the IH gallery\, an interactive portrait exhibition in GalleryDAAS\, and a video screening of  the award winning film\, Chameleon Street. The screenings will be held at the Institute of the Humanities and at the Charles Wright Museum in Detroit\, MI.\n\nAbout the project:\n\nThe Crown: Contemporary Construction of Self in America is a series of projects by artist Shani Peters that will examine the socially acceptable yet complicated concept of Black pride and success. Crowns\, symbolic of kings and queens\, and conferred on any number of Black popular culture figures from James Brown to Biggie\, are also symbols for systems of inequitably distributed resources and injustice. This multi-part project—which includes two exhibitions\, a film screening\, and a panel discussion—asks the question: what does it mean to acknowledge the need for these forms of pride and success while recognizing their problems? It further complicates the question with a consideration of the similar celebration and pride that comes from attaining degrees of higher education which offer obvious opportunities\, yet can alienate students of African descent from their origins. The artist asks\, how do Black people register these complicated elements in ways that allow them to move progressively through western power structures towards futures that reflect their right to dignity and self-determination? Sponsored by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and the Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:INFLUENCE ON DEMOCRACY OF COMPUTERS\, INTERNET\, & SOCIAL MEDIA
DESCRIPTION:Technology is reshaping the foundations of democratic society\, from the notion of privacy to freedom of expression to the way we choose who will lead.  While these changes raise new challenges for computer security\, they also present opportunities to create new technologies that reflect and support democratic values.  In this talk\, Prof. Halderman will discuss how his work studying computer voting machines and Internet voting has exposed critical weaknesses and also suggested new ways that technology can be applied to safeguard elections.  He will also discuss state-sponsored Internet censorship and new censorship resistance tools developed at U-M.\n\nDr. Halderman's research focuses on computer security and privacy\, with an emphasis on problems that impact society and public policy.  He is well known for developing the “cold boot” attack against disk encryption\, which altered widespread thinking on security\, influenced computer forensics practice\, and inspired the creation of the subfield of theoretical cryptography.  A noted expert on electronic voting security\, he helped lead the first independent review of the election technology used by 500 million voters in India\, which prompted the Indian government to undertake major technical reforms.  In recent work\, he exposed widespread flaws that compromised the security of 5-10% of secure Internet web servers.\n\nPlease check the OLLI web site for additional lectures in the 6-week series\, “Computers\, the Internet\, and Big Data: Benefits and Dangers”\, Thursdays\, February 19-April 2:\n\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/programs_activities/lectures/4th_Lecture_Series.pdf

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Uncanny Valley
DESCRIPTION:Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker\n(collaboratively working under the name Future Retrieval)\n\nThe objects presented merge the strengths of our studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. Ornament and detail collide with a fascination of taxidermy and natural order. Each object contains a history\, reaching back and highlighting ideals of time and labor.\nThree-dimensional scans and photographs have been rapid prototyped\, processed in the studio\, and molded into porcelain mimicking the world of European decorative arts. Inspired also by German animal sculptures and cut silhouettes\, we are using digital translation to both highlight and transform these details that fascinate us. The interest in new technologies and industrial methods is that each piece is handmade\, but maintains the record of a computer driven interpretation. Our intention is to make art objects that reference design and are held together by craft.\n\nBio \nFuture Retrieval\n\nGuy Michael Davis was born in 1978 and raised in Bartlesville\, OK. Katie Parker was born in 1980 in Jonesboro Arkansas\, and grew up in Plano\, Texas. They both attended the Kansas City Art Institute from 1999-2003 and received BFA degrees in ceramics.\nKatie went straight to graduate school at The Ohio State University from 2003-2005\, Guy followed suit three years later from 2006-2008. Both Katie and Guy received MFA degrees in ceramics. \nCurrently\, Katie is an Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati\, running the ceramics department. Guy works for multiple designers across the country\, and is an adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati. For several years\, they have also been collaborating together\, making objects that combine new technology\, porcelain\, and good craft. The objects merge the strengths of their individual studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. They have exhibited both nationally and internationally\, with recent shows in New York City\, Jingdezhen China\, Cardiff Wales\, Philadelphia\, Kansas City\, and Tempe Arizona. This summer they were both artists in residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha\, NE.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien\, home
DESCRIPTION:Nummer veertien\, home\, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film\, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial\; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace\, in reverse\, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week\, thousand-mile trek of biking\, running\, and swimming\; and the story of Alexander the Great\, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.\n\nThe film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance\, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature\, the interplay of history and geography\, the power of melancholy\, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score\, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings\, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece\, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.        \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Medicinal Plants and Gardens: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag\, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden\, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty\, will continue that legacy\, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines\, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.\nPreceding the garden’s opening\, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens\, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium\, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden\, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei\, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The U-M Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Resistance\, Morality and Rationality during the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:There are many definitions of “resistance” to the Holocaust. Was physical resistance always “moral” and “rational?” The relatively rare instances of physical resistance to the Nazis are universally acclaimed. However\, in the ghettos of Eastern Europe they were much debated. Such resistance was morally ambiguous and may not have been “rational” because it provoked massive reprisals. As there was no chance to defeat the Germans\, were compliance with Nazi orders and working for them more “rational\,” since that might have saved at least some?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Why Storage for Big Data is Hard
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Henry Neeman is Director of the OU Supercomputing Center for Education and Research (OSCER)\; Assistant Vice President\, Information Technology – Research Strategy Advisor\; Associate Professor\, College of Engineering\; and Adjunct Associate Professor\, School of Computer Science\; University of Oklahoma. He received a Ph.D and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and did doctoral and post-doc work at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at UIUC.\n\nAbstract: We’re now inundated with data of ever increasing volume\, velocity and variety. Managing all this data is a vast and confounding challenge. In this presentation\, Neeman will examine one facet of this problem — how to provide large scale\, long term storage affordably — to determine the challenges and how they can be met. He will look at a novel business model\, combined with one of the oldest storage technologies in computing history\, that together can enable “cold” datasets to be\nmaintained for a decade or more\, at the lowest cost to researchers of any storage technology on the market today\, but with higher reliability and availability than more expensive technologies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CBSSM SEMINAR FEATURING JILL FISHER\, PHD (MARCH 26TH)
DESCRIPTION:Healthy Volunteers’ “Informed” Study Participation: The Influence of Social Networks on Knowledge about and Identity in Phase I Clinical Trials\n  \nJill Fisher\, PhD\n\nAssistant Professor of Social Medicine\nCenter for Bioethics\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\n\nAbstract: Phase I clinical trials are the first stage of testing new pharmaceuticals in humans. The majority of these studies are conducted under controlled\, inpatient conditions using healthy volunteers who are paid for their participation. This talk draws on an ethnographic study of six phase I clinics in the United States\, including 268 semi-structured interviews with research staff and healthy volunteers. It examines the concept of informed consent in Phase I trials by attending to the exchange of information that happens not only between the researchers and healthy volunteers but also among the healthy volunteers themselves. It problematizes notions of what information is most important to healthy volunteers as they consider the risks and benefits of participation in Phase I trials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Printed Matter Before the Printing Press\,\" Brigitte Miriam Bedos-Rezak\, New York University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Interpretations of the large quantity of printed material that circulated in medieval Europe have been teleologically informed by the printing revolution of the 15th century. With a focus on seals and on documentary sealing in Western Europe between the 8th and 13th centuries\, this presentation will argue that it was the process of their manufacture\, the act of their imprinting\, that imbued seals with the particular potency they had during the Middle Ages. The argument will be substantiated by looking at three distinct moments of seal agency: as printing fostered a conception of the imprinted image as an achiropoietic object\; as the inherent properties of printed material and the metaphors they generated organized personal identity as mimesis\; and as the imprint\, understood as a natural sign\, engaged the contentious philosophical field of natural magic.\n\nBrigitte Miriam Bedos-Rezak is Professor of History at New York University (NYU) and affiliate Professor at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts. She is currently at work on a monograph devoted to printed matter in the Middle Ages\, and on a special issue of issue of the journal\, The Medieval Globe\, devoted to \"Seals: Imprinting Matter\, Exchanging Impressions.\"\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 8th Annual Faeth Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk will explore short pulsed microwave and laser based methods that provide new opportunities for control and analysis of complex flow fields. Micro: The natural ionization that is produced in flames provides a mechanism for high efficiency\, localized energy deposition using KHz rate\, microsecond long pulses of microwave radiation.  Deposition of only ~3% of the power associated with a laminar methane-air flame leads to a 20% increase in the flame speed and a factor of two reduction of the lean combustion limit. Nano: The dynamic change in temperature in the flame zone is monitored with nanosecond pulsed filtered Rayleigh scattering\, which provides a time frozen image of the temperature field. Pico: Nitric oxide production is monitored with picosecond Radar REMPI\, which can also provide a localized measure of atomic species in the flame. Femto: Microwave coupling to femtosecond laser generated ionization provides a method for simultaneous ignition along a line. Microwave coupling to femtosecond laser ionization patterns also provides a method for localized energy addition for drag reduction and steering of supersonic objects and vehicles. The motion of high speed air can be monitored with Femtosecond Laser Electronic Excitation Tagging (FLEET). The figure below shows FLEET lines written across a vertical underexpanded supersonic air jet\, providing instantaneous images of the velocity profile and a measure of the centerline velocity.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nProfessor Miles received his Ph.D. in 1972 from Stanford University with a thesis in the area of nonlinear optics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series: Tacita Dean
DESCRIPTION:Tacita Dean’s film portraits express something that neither painting nor photography can capture. They are purely film. Dean‘s art is carried by a sense of history\, time and place\, light quality and the essence of film itself. The focus of her subtle but ambitious work is the truth of the moment\, the film as a medium and the sensibilities of the individual. Dean’s solo exhibitions include Tate Britain\, London\; Schaulager\, Basel\; the Guggenheim Museum\, New York\; Nicola Trussardi Foundation\, Milan\; and MUMOK\, Vienna. She was awarded the Hugo Boss Prize in 2006 and the Kurt Schwitters Prize in 2009. In 2011\, she made FILM as part of the Unilever series of commissions in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall\, which marked the beginning of her campaign to protect the medium of photochemical film (savefilm.org). Other recent exhibitions include dOCUMENTA\, Venice Biennale\, Berlin Biennale and Biennale of Sydney.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 1960s\, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks (and Lickettes) have deftly blended elements of swing\, jazz\, folk\, country\, \"acid mariachi\,\" and goodness knows what else to create the appealing sound he sometimes calls \"Folk Jazz.\" The lyrics of his songs range from the simply sublime to the sublimely ridiculous. Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks recently released the album \"Tangled Tales\,\" their first album of original material since 2004's \"Selected Shorts\,\" and it shows Dan's free spirit in fine form. There'll also be plenty of other slightly off-kilter (but never off-key) material from a singer-songwriter-bandleader who's a true American original! You can come by and pick up a copy of the new \"Best of Dan's 70th Birthday Celebration\" album\, recorded live at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.
