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:Presentation:Generating Practice-based Evidence from Electronic Health Records
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nigam Shah is Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Stanford University\, Assistant Director of the Center for Biomedical Informatics Research\, and a core member of the Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program.\n\nIn the era of Electronic Health Records\, it is possible to examine the outcomes of decisions made by doctors during clinical practice to identify patterns of care—generating evidence from the collective experience of patients. We will discuss methods that transform unstructured patient notes into a de-identified patient-feature matrix.  We will then review four use-cases\, which use the resulting de-identified data matrix\, to illustrate the learning of practice-based evidence from unstructured data in electronic medical records. By examining patterns\, such as the frequency and co-frequency of drug and disease mentions\, it is possible to monitor for adverse drug events\, learn drug-drug interactions\, profile the safety of off-label drug usage\, uncover ‘natural experiments’ and generate practice-based evidence for difficult-to-test clinical hypotheses.\n\nAn RSVP is requested for this event: \nhttp://dlhs-umi.ch/apr29nigamshah-rsvp.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

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: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:Smith Lecture: Origin and Evolution of the Nashoba Terrane in Eastern Massachusetts\, and Connections with the Norumbega Fault Zone in Maine: Potential for a Late Devonian Triple Junction
DESCRIPTION:The Nashoba terrane in eastern Massachusetts is located between the Avalon terrane to the SE and Ganderian terranes to the NW. It consists of Cambrian-Ordovician mafic to felsic metavolcanic and interlayered metasedimentary rocks\, intruded by a series of Silurian to earliest Carboniferous dioritic to granitic plutons. Trace element geochemistry and Sm/Nd results of the oldest volcanic rocks indicate an early Paleozoic arc/back-arc origin of the terrane. The mafic volcanic rocks had a primitive source. The oldest intermediate and felsic rocks incorporated older\, isotopically evolved crustal material\, indicative of a Ganderian basement below the terrane. Based on negative εNd values\, model ages and detrital zircon ages\, metasedimentary rocks were derived from mixed\, generally evolved\, sources with Archean though Ordovician input\, indicating a Ganderian source.\nThe Nashoba terrane is interpreted as a Ganderian arc-backarc complex similar to the Penobscot and/or Popelogan-Victoria arc systems and the Tetagouche-Exploits backarc basin on the leading (NW) margin of Ganderia in the northern Appalachians. The Nashoba terrane\, however\, is now located on the trailing (SE) margin of Ganderia and must have been there since ~430 Ma\, when subduction-related plutons intruded the terrane and deposition of the ~430-407 Ma Merrimack terrane sediments to the NW took place\n\nMajor and trace element geochemical and Sm/Nd data of ~430-350 Ma dioritic and granitic plutons in the Nashoba terrane indicate subduction-related convergence. Significantly younger model ages in the youngest granitic rocks may reflect Avalonian input after 350 Ma. Acadian and Neo- or post-Acadian metamorphism occurred between ~425 Ma and ~360 Ma\, related to convergence between the Nashoba\, Merrimack and Avalon terranes and possibly subsequent exhumation of the Nashoba terrane.\nThe Norumbega fault system in New England is a Paleozoic northeast-trending orogen-parallel\, subvertical\, predominantly dextral transpressive fault system. It was active at least as early as in the Middle Devonian\, during the Acadian orogeny. It consists of one major shear zone and numerous associated localized mylonite zones. It extends from southwestern New Brunswick to southern Maine and New Hampshire\, but no obvious equivalent fault zone has been found in eastern Massachusetts. Northeastern Massachusetts thus represents a Middle to Late Devonian transition zone between transcurrent movement\, similar to the San Andreas Fault\, to the northeast\, and a northwesterly directed subduction zone\, similar to the Cascadia subduction zone\, resulting in the accretion of Avalon\, to the south. If the analogue is correct\, northeastern Massachusetts may represent a mid-crustal exposure of a Late Devonian triple junction\, and the Norumbega fault zone may have formed as result of subduction of a mid ocean ridge\, similar to the San Andreas Fault.\n\nIn our model\, Late Devonian southeastern New England is an equivalent to the San Andreas Fault-Cascades system at mid-crustal levels\, but rotated by ~180 degrees\, and ~360 My earlier. The Laurentian/Ganderian\, Rheic and ‘Avalonian’ plates are equivalents of the North American\, Pacific and San Juan plates. In eastern Massachusetts\, part of Avalon remained behind on a microplate attached to the spreading Rheic ocean\, while to the north the spreading ridge was subducted and the Norumbega transform fault created. The Norumbega fault zone may have been largely deflected into the ocean in or north of northeastern Massachusetts\, similar to the deflection of the San Andreas Fault towards the north into the Mendocino fracture zone in the ocean. Some evidence for minor dextral offset exists across the Nashoba terrane\, suggesting that splays of the Norumbega fault may have continued across the terrane at mid-crustal levels\, perhaps into Avalon\, along the eastern side of the Narragansett basin.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Why Winning Isn't Everything: Procedural Meritocracy and Gaming's Cruel Optimism
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Nakamura\, Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the U-M Department of American Culture\, addresses the idea that the best strategy for stigmatized players to avoid harrassment while playing games is to create habitable spaces for themselves by displays of superior skill\, by proving their worth by dominating other players—in other words by using procedural meritocracy—and how this is problematic in an environment that does not offer a level playing field to women and people of color.\n\nDr. Nakamura discusses:\n\n- Gamergate - the scandal that rocked video game culture highlighting its problems with sexism and racism.\n- The notion that women and players of color must negotiate intense attachments to a dream of equality and respect earned through “good play” both within and without games.\n- Social justice strategies for addressing racism and sexism within gaming culture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Seth Walker
DESCRIPTION:If you're looking for roots music with the grit of Delbert McClinton (who's a big fan) and the detail and insight of Robert Cray\, give Seth Walker a try! This North Carolina-born bluesman has been honing his craft for more than a decade\, and his 2014 release\, \"Time Can Change\,\" marked a move toward a grittier sound. The son of classical musicians\, Seth grew up on a commune. He played the cello and switched to the guitar\, then to the blues\, after a DJ uncle introduced him to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin. The All Music Guide's J. Poet wrote that Seth \"uses the blues as a backbone for tunes that will equally please roots\, Americana\, folk\, pop\, and blues fans. He's a fine guitarist\, but his playing never calls attention to itself\; it's always placed in service of the song and the lyrics crackle with insight and subtle wit.\" Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: “If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana\, then Seth Walker —with his blend of blues\, gospel\, pop\, R&B\, rock\, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.\" Seth was the MC for both nights of the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. He comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Sky Still Blue.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:The Illness Narratives
DESCRIPTION:The Illness Narratives seeks to foster a discussion of both sickness and humanity. With a mixture of community-submitted and professionally-written works\, we wish to provide varied perspectives on illness. What does it mean to be sick\, and to fight against one’s own body? What lies beyond illness? Finally\, how does illness affect not only those who are sick\, but their loved ones? Join us as we mount a production under the auspices of RC Players\, the UM Residential College\, the UM Honors Program\, and the UM chapter of the American Medical Student Association\, examining what the word “illness” truly means.\n\nCome see us in East Quad's Keene Theater!\nFriday\, April 3rd at 8pm\nSaturday\, April 4th at 7pm\n\nEast Quad\n701 East University\nAnn Arbor\, MI\n\n*Trigger warning: This show involves themes and elements of death\, sickness\, vulgarity\, extreme distress and other possible triggers.
