The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience.

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.

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.

Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us. I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth? What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries? Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another. A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

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).

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!

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.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\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 support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

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.

Actually lived experiences of otherness\, be they of practical\, reflexive or spiritual nature\, are differentiated instances of a universal response of humanity against itself in the context of its constant and dynamic encounter with nature\, society and self awareness. The condition of foreign-ness may be seen as a symbolic bridge bringing together cultural aspects of humanity in the contemporary post-globalization world. To illustrate the above I will use audiovisual material about the Greek folk and popular songs of xenitia. These songs interweave in a culturally particular and historically unique way political and psychological awareness as a result of the experience of foreign-ness as otherness. This talk will be of interest to people in fields such as anthropology\, classics\, archaeology\, sociology of religion\, cultural and literary studies and ethnomusicology.\n\nCo-sponsored by The University Seminars Program of the Alexander S.

Gelehrter\, M.D. Lecture in Medical Genetics DESCRIPTION:“Bringing Genomics to Clinical Medicine: Looking through rose-colored glasses while wearing green eyeshades”\n\nAs a board-certified internist and medical geneticist\, Robert L. Nussbaum has dedicated his career to improving the care of adults and children with hereditary disorders. He received his training in medicine in the Harvard-MIT Joint Program in Health Technology\, his internal medicine training at Barnes Hospital at Washington University\, and his genetics training at Baylor College of Medicine. Prior to his service at UCSF\, he served for 12 years as Chief of the Genetic Disease Research and Inherited Disease Research Branches at NIH\, and was an HHMI Associate Investigator\, and Professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He is board certified in internal medicine\, clinical genetics and clinical molecular genetics. Dr. Nussbaum directed the original research that led to the discovery of mutations in a-synuclein in hereditary Parkinson disease in the mid 1990's and has been studying its role in Parkinson disease ever since. For his work on Parkinson disease\, he was awarded the Klaus Joachim Zulch Prize for Neurological Research and the Jay Van Andel Award for Outstanding Achievement in Parkinson's Disease Research. He has also been recognized three times with awards from the Lowe Syndrome Association.\n\nDr. Nussbaum has received numerous teaching awards from the University of Pennsylvania\, the National Human Genome Research Institute and the University of California\, San Francisco.

Those cratonic pieces derived from Gondwana-Land contain pieces of what has been termed the Pan African Orogenic System that stitched together Gondwana-Land. The main Gondwana-Land-Laurasia suture runs south of what has been called the Silk Road arc including the Kuen-Lun and its prolongations east and west. North of the Kuen Lun the intermediate units (Scythides in the west\, Tarim in the middle and the Manchurides in the east) have largely terminated the development of the Altaids in the latest Palaeozoic by colliding with them. The Altaids have evolved from three major arc systems that eventually collided with the Siberian craton and its incomplete wreath of Baykalides (±age equivalent to Pan-Afrcian system)\, which are a distinct orogenic belt\, a part of what has been termed Urbaykalides. Their structure is particularly well-known from northeastern Europe. To consider the Urbaykalides only an earlier part of the Altaids would be like considering the Hercynides only an earlier stage in the evolution of the Alpides. The three Altaid arcs are the following: the Kipchak arc\, the inner and the outer Tuva-Mongol arcs. Available palaeomagnetic data have corroborated the earlier continuous arc model\, but showed that the shape of the arc was more complicated than assumed in the absence of palaeomagnetic data. The employment of palaeomagnetic data together with magmatic fronts has proved to be a very powerful tool in reconstructing the palaeotectonics of former large and complex orogens. The Altaids have been called an accretionary orogen\, but this is pleonastic\, because all orogens are accretionary: they accrete cover\, basement\, as well as igneous rocks. In some\, sedimentary cover accretion dominates (e.g. Makran\, Alaska)\, in others igneous (e.g. Central Andes\; they also accrete sedimentary cover nappes in Bolivia). In some\, basement nappes are accreted along with cover nappes for which the Austrian Alps may be given as the prime example. The Altaids in central and northern Asia have been specified as a Turkic-type orogen defined to be one in which subduction-accretion gives rise to immense oceanic cover sediment offscraping and accumulation along the prows of arcs. Into such accumulated cover of sedimentary piles arc magmatic axes migrate and consolidate them creating new continental crust. This is the essence of the Turkic-type orogeny. In the Phanerozoic architecture of Asia\, Turkic-type orogens dominate the nortern half of the continent and the Himalayan-type the southern half. In Europe all Alpide orogens are Himalayan type\, but the Hercynides are turning out more and more to be of Turkic-type with immense dextral strike-slip faulting.

From Marsupials to Molecules (Oncley Lecture in Biophysics) DESCRIPTION:The lecture will present an intellectual path from the role of motion in animals to the molecules that make the motion possible. Motion is usually a way of distinguishing live animals from those that are not\, but not always. Just as for the whole animal\, motion is an essential part of the function of the cellular components. What about the molecules themselves? Does motion distinguish animate from inanimate molecules? For animals to move\, they require energy\, which is obtained primarily by using oxygen. So how are whales and dolphins able to use their muscles to dive to great depths\, where oxygen is not available? The immediate energy source for muscle function is the molecule ATP. Nature\, by evolution\, has developed a marvelous rotary nanomotor for the generation of this molecule. Experiments and simulations\, particularly those with supercomputers\, are now revealing the mechanism of this nanomotor and other cellular machines.

This performance takes on the forms of video game and movie and concert.\n\n\"At the beginning\, there was nothing\, until Asah decided to create this world. Everything was fearfully and wonderfully made\, to live in eternal peace and glory. Until Raeq appeared\, bringing destruction to the world\, and destroyed every last hope on land. The battle between the two has begun\, but no one can stop death.... or is there one?\" UID:25929-1873119@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/25929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Library,Music,Theater LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Video Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151009T121525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151030T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Masters Recital: Noniko Hsu\, flute DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Ran - East Wind\; Jolivet - Chant de Linos\; Chang - Poem\; Taktakishvili - Sonata in C Major for Flute and Piano\; Copland - Duo for Flute & Piano\; Franck - Sonata in A Major for Flute & Piano\; Clarke - TRKs UID:25537-1771564@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/25537 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Video Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151027T181519 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151030T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band DESCRIPTION:Pre-concert conversation with Kristin Eder\, Timothy McAllister\, and Michael Haithcock at 7:15PM in the Lower Lobby. \n\nMichael Haithcock\, conductor\, Kristin Eder\, mezzo-soprano\, Timothy McAllister\, alto saxophone. \n\nThe highs and lows of the human experience are explored through this widely varied repertoire.

The group is clearly built around the multi-talented Erin Zindle\, who is not only the singer and songwriter\, but is proficient in a variety of stringed instruments. This classically trained violinist can aptly pluck the eight-stringed mandolin\, wield a wild accordion\, and rock the banjo while maintaining lead vocals. SAfter seven years of averaging nearly 175 shows a year\, all over America\, these Ann Arbor-based world-beat-folk-rockers finally took a break from touring in late summer 2013 to celebrate the birth of Aviva Alice Moore\, daughter of Erin Zindle and percussionist Randall Moore. This is the Ragbirds' Halloween show—the band will be in costume\, and you're encouraged to dress up too!
