SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Light Within the Darkness of Nature: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Using palette knives and an intuitive response to her oil paints and surface\, painter Sheryl Budnik first looks carefully at the land or sea\, noticing her emotional response. She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

DESCRIPTION:Returning Gifts of Art exhibiting artist Mary Cody designs colorful jewelry with a subtle message meant to inspire creativity and hope. She freely combines tiny 24 kt gold\, palladium and glass beads in her original weavings by \"picking up the pieces\,\" a look that came by accident after costly beads scattered across the floor. Cody sees her work as representing the lessons in our lives – how unforeseen events are often prior to beautiful blessings. Her bead woven jewelry has been in fine art shows from Ann Arbor\, Michigan to Bellevue\, Washington and has been described as miniature works of stained glass.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Color of U-M Sports: Helicopter Photography
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the world’s only artist-photographer who works primarily from a helicopter\, Dale Fisher captures and transforms his subjects using color\, light and shadows – all while skimming over his subjects at ground speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Spirit of Place: Oil Paintings
DESCRIPTION:A full time painter\, Laurie Schirmer Carpenter studied art at the University of Colorado\, Denver but has deep ties to the Midwest. She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chrysopylae Video Installation by Doug Hall
DESCRIPTION:Doug Hall’s immersive two-screen video installation challenges the familiar picture-postcard vision of the Golden Gate with a pair of contrasting perspectives. Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Women in Science
DESCRIPTION:Colorful comic book graphics in this panel exhibit invite young U-M Museum of Natural History visitors from every background to see themselves working in STEM fields (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics)\, and changing the world.\n\nDeveloped by Ann Marie Macara\, a fifth-year graduate student in the U-M Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\, the exhibit features four women scientists whose work had a major impact in their fields. These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n  \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Julie Rae Powers: A Coal Miner's Daughter Revisited Pop-Up Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:During my childhood coal was king. There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it.  –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Passionate Curiosities: Collecting in Egypt & the Near East\, 1880s–1950s
DESCRIPTION:What circumstances formed the artifact-biographies of the collected objects we see in museum display cases? Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Oral Prelim: Mikhail Yurochkin\, New algorithms for Topic Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Topic Modelling is a class of exploratory algorithms applied to text\, image\, audio or video data. The goal is to find latent topics to summarize and understand huge collections of data. We develop two new topic modelling algorithms and design a new mathematical formulation of the problem.\n\nIn the first part\, we describe a novel geometric view of the problem and develop a fast and efficient algorithm based on k-means to capture the geometric structure. We demonstrate performance of the algorithm and compare it to established techniques based on the simulated data.\n\nIn the second part\, we take the common probabilistic formulation of the model and address inference inefficiencies of the currently used algorithms. We design a new inference procedure based on Metropolis Hastings and suggest a new method of proposing candidates for high dimensional probability vectors via Generalized Beta distribution. We also consider supervised setting\, where documents have class labels and generalize our algorithm to this case. Performance is evaluated with several simulation studies and a political blogs data set\, where each document is labeled either liberal or conservative.\n\nIn the third part we propose EM algorithm based on closed form posterior approximation with Carlson's multiple hypergeometric functions.

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:Jem Cohen
DESCRIPTION:The title of this multi-format photography and video installation by New York filmmaker Jem Cohen comes from the artist’s own characterization of his practice.\n	As he explains\, “The unifying core of my work stems from encountering the world as it unfolds. Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n	\nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n	We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n	\nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mine More Coal: War Effort and Americanism in World War I Posters
DESCRIPTION:During World War I\, the American Government used a powerful poster campaign to rally all troops and farmers\, housewives and shipbuilders\, “old-stock Americans” and immigrants to the cause. Propaganda\, commodity\, and art came together in WWI posters. This exhibition presents rarely displayed WWI posters from UMMA’s collection.\nThe focus of the exhibition is posters directed at coal miners. These works explore the larger themes of supporting the war effort and Americanism. Coal mining communities were microcosms for the social and economic pressures when the United States entered the Great War in 1917. Coal was a central resource for the war\, yet the immigrant workforce was considered unreliable because of increasingly frequent workers’ strikes. Posters also addressed anxieties about the definition of American culture and its readiness for war.\nMarking the centennial of the Great War (1914-1919)\, the presentation of WWI posters of the UMMA collection includes some of the lesser-known works by America’s most famous poster artists. From iconic Gibson-girl type illustrations to multilingual posters in Polish\, Italian\, and German\, these posters present war-time American ideals. Works by famed designers James Montgomery Flagg\, the designer of the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster\, and Howard Christy are featured alongside works by illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and the acclaimed painter and printmaker Henry Reuterdahl.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Material: Woven Values
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Material is a traveling show of work conceptually responding to the history of fiber as a craft as well as the materiality of textiles work. The first exhibition\, Pattern’s Presence\, was during January 2014 at Grand Valley State University’s Padnos Art Gallery. Since then it’s traveled to East Lansing’s Scene Metrospace in January of this year\, then to Have Company in Grand Rapids in March. This is it’s third conception\, showcasing many new artists.\n\nBeyond Material is curated by Kate Garman. She is an independent curator and artist\, currently living in Grand Rapids. In between curating Beyond Material\, she has also had the opportunity to expand her own work through multiple exhibitions\, both collaborative and solo. By day she is a designer for Scott Group Custom Carpets\, still allowing time to complete various artistic side projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Heather Blair\, Associate Professor\, Department of Religious Studies and Director of Undergraduate Studies\, Department of Religious Studies\n\nPost-war Japanese picture books often appropriate elements with recognizably religious pedigrees—characters\, plots\, visual imagery—for use in the education and entertainment of young children. Working against conventional interpretations of mainstream children’s books as wholly secular and therefore un-religious\, I argue that they in fact promote a transformed and acculturated form of religiosity. Picture book religion boasts its own moral canon\, a strong sense of tradition\, and a pantheon of super-human entities. It promotes group cohesion while encouraging right behavior and a sense of wonder. And it has its own priests in the guise of illustrator-auteurs\, teachers\, and semi-professional \"\"picture book masters\"\" (ehonshi).\n\nHeather Blair specializes in Japanese religious history and is associate professor of Religious Studies at Indiana University. Her research focuses on the religious culture of the Heian period (794–1185) and the ways in which premodern religious patterns adapt and transform in contemporary life. Her publications include Real and Imagined (Harvard University Asia Center 2015) and articles in journals such as Monumenta Nipponica and Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles
DESCRIPTION:Slusser Gallery\nSeptember 8 — October 3\, 2015\nOpening reception: 5 - 8 pm\, Tuesday September 15. Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Tyree Guyton: A Thirty-Year Journey
DESCRIPTION:The Heidelberg Project is one of the largest\, best-known\, and longest-running site-specific art installations in the country. Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Oral Prelim: Karen Nielsen\, Capitalizing on the Use of Basis Sets in Regression Spline Mixed Models
DESCRIPTION:Disciplines have their favorite or conventional basis set. For example\, polynomials are common in psychology\, and Fourier transforms are often used in engineering and physics. There exists a vast set of possibilities for basis sets in generalized splines\, which can be used to impose expected structure on a model via piecewise sums of any functions. Many researchers do not further explore the possibilities for other basis sets in their research\, often because the choice of basis set is perceived as irrelevant or conventional. However\, the properties of basis set transformations\ncan be leveraged in powerful ways\, especially when they can give data or model parameters more natural\, domain-relevant interpretations. \n\nBy using problem-appropriate basis sets\, we can find new approaches to almost any scientific question. Here\, I will show how Regression Spline Mixed Models (RSMM) can combine the nonparametric features of splines with a hierarchical random effects framework to explore EEG data at any of the many levels that are collected and of interest to researchers. I will then show how a verbalized hypothesis can be translated into a basis set for formal testing. These methods can be valuable to researchers working with EEG and similar time-series biological data (fMRI\, MEG\, EKG\, pupilometry\, and others) because they allow for analyses at the many levels of the natural hierarchy of an EEG experiment. Having     the ability to work at these levels is useful for recognizing outliers\, learning about variance and statistical significance\, and inspiring further analyses or future studies. In addition\, the ability to convert verbalized hypotheses into elements in a basis set assigns interpretability to model parameters and their standard errors. \n\nFuture work involves an in-depth comparison of existing and proposed methods\, particularly with respect to standard error calculation and testing. Creative use of basis sets may also inspire new approaches to other statistical problems - for example\, using a polynomial basis set to form a general framework for higher-order interaction models. Traditional approaches to testing continuous-by-continuous interaction models involve artificially grouping one variable and exploring how the groups moderate the relationship between the continuous predictor and response\; this new perspective may bring insights in addition to avoiding loss of information.

SUMMARY:Performance:Calan
DESCRIPTION:Calan brings together the remarkable talents of five young musicians giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies\, foot-tapping tunes and spirited and energetic performances of Welsh step-dancing. They blast their way through some of the old favorite reels\, jigs\, and hornpipes with fast-paced and uplifting arrangements before melting into some of the most beautiful and haunting songs. Following the release of their debut album\, \"Bling\,\" in 2008\, which attracted four-star responses from the critics\, Calan has been playing to big audiences and rave reviews at concerts and festivals around Britain and Europe\, and they've toured Italy\, Austria\, and Belgium. The group members\, who have raised some eyebrows with a deliberate policy of eye-catching clothes and presentation\, despite the ancient roots of their music\, see themselves as a new generation of ambassadors\, striving to take their new sound to new audiences\, while raising the profile of Welsh traditional music on an international level. With their unique instrumental blend of accordion\, fiddle\, guitar\, Welsh pipes\, Welsh harp and the percussive sound of the Welsh clogs\, Calan have certainly found their musical niche and their plan is to continue to delight audiences far and wide!
