SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\,  in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography  when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Converging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski
DESCRIPTION:Converging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another. Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting.  It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab. \n\nExhibition On-View: January 16 – February 21\n\nIdentity—human\, animal and architectural—can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scent of a Beaver: An Installation by Kent Monkman
DESCRIPTION:Based on the rococo masterpiece The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard\, Scent of a Beaver is a sculptural installation that features the artist Kent Monkman’s alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle dangling on a swing between a French and English general. With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes.  He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people.  With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

Kahn Distinguished University Professor of Business Administration and Psychology at Michigan Ross\n\nSESSION DESCRIPTION: How do individuals and organizations learn from success?  While it sounds easy\, it is not. And yet\, learning from success is a critical component of what makes organizations positive. University of Louisville College of Business Associate Professor Ryan Quinn explores the opportunities and challenges of this kind of learning. Quinn shares research that helps us see what works and guides the audience with tools designed to facilitate learning from success. By using tools like these\, we can create new possibilities for ourselves and our organizations\, and never stop getting better.\n\nRYAN QUINN is an Associate Professor at the University of Louisville’s College of Business. He researches\, teaches\, trains\, and consults on topics related to leadership and change management. He teaches in the Full-Time\, Professional\, Weekend and Executive MBA programs\, and has also taught in Executive Education and undergraduate programs. He has consulted around the world for Fortune 500 companies\, private firms\, start-up businesses\, non-profits\, and government institutions\, and is a principal at Lift Consulting. He has also been involved in educational consulting and training\, including his involvement in the Darden/Curry Partnership for Leaders in Education’s Turnaround Specialist program and Wallace Foundation program\, helping to train school system administrators to transform public schools and reduce achievement gaps. Ryan’s research focuses on two topics in particular: (1) the role that our psychological states play in our leadership\, and (2) how organizations and individuals learn from success.\n\nRyan has a B.S. in statistics from Brigham Young University\, a Ph.D. in Management and Organizations from Michigan Ross\, a graduate certificate in the study of complex systems from the University of Michigan\, and has studied international business and corporate strategy in Hitotsubashi University in Japan. He has taught at the Olin School of Business in Washington University in St. Louis\, the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia\, and the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University. Ryan has also been heavily involved in the Positive Organizational Scholarship movement\, focusing many of his research questions on understanding what makes organizations and the people within them flourish\, excel\, and exceed expectations.\n\nRyan has published articles in outlets such as Administrative Science Quarterly\, Academy of Management Review\, Academy of Management Annals\, Organization Science\, Human Resource Management\, Journal of Management\, Business & Economy\, and The Washington Post. The second edition of the award-winning book he co-authored with his father\, Lift: The Fundamental State of Leadership (Berrett-Koehler) will be published in the summer of 2015.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public. Most sessions are live-streamed via a link from our Events page\, and then a listing is added to our Videos page post-session.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sustainable Systems Forum
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe São Paulo Metropolitan Region (SPMR) currently has more than 20 million inhabitants and a demand of 70 m^3/s for urban drinking water that supplies 39 cities. Most of this water comes from superficial sources that were quite affected due to longer\, drier seasons in the last years. The drought put in evidence again the weaknesses of this water system. Almost half of this water is imported from neighboring watersheds. Chronic land-use conflicts in the water sources challenge government and society for a more inclusive approach. The recent international agreements unfolded from the RIO+20 Meeting include the Sustainable Development Goals program\, with targets aimed at ending poverty\; access to water and sanitation for all\; making cities inclusive\, resilient and sustainable\, plus 14 more goals to transform the world. The phrase \"think globally and act locally\" has never been so true. In this talk\, Prof. Malheiros will discuss the Santo André City - Brazil case study\, which is the part of the Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates (GIEU) activities ongoing in partnership between SNRE and the University of São Paulo. \n\nBio:\nProf. Tadeu Malheiros is an environmental engineer and worked for several years with local government environmental agencies\, with most of the activities focused at the interface environment\, health and society. Now\, Malheiros works at the São Carlos School of Engineering of the University of São Paulo - Brazil\, teaching and researching sustainability assessment and indicators.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Beyond Grice: A socio-pragmatic framework for non-entailed meaning
DESCRIPTION:Eric Acton (EMU) will present in SoConDi today. The title and abstract of his presentation are given below.\n\nBeyond Grice: A socio-pragmatic framework for non-entailed meaning\nBoth Gricean pragmatics and meaning-based sociolinguistics (e.g. Eckert 2008) recognize that non-entailed content is an essential component of linguistic meaning.  But despite the productivity and broad coverage of these traditions\, both have left a wide range of cases of non-entailed meaning unexplained. The following quote from a 2008 U.S. presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain illustrates.\n\n(1) MCCAIN: It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate [...] sponsored by Bush and Cheney. You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one [pointing to Obama].\n\nMcCain’s use of that one drew extensive negative press\, being called\, for instance\, a “slightly dehumanizing phrase.”\n\nOf course\, that one doesn’t entail that a speaker uttering the phrase views the intended referent as contemptible or subhuman.  Existing approaches to non-entailed content\, however\, leave (1) and a vast array of related examples unexplained. I present a socio-pragmatic framework for non-entailed content that addresses this gap\, built around three key principles:\n\n(2)  a. Utterances violating conversational expectations are especially likely to be ascribed special significance.\nb. The full significance of an utterance depends upon context and what makes it distinctive relative to contextually relevant alternatives.\n\nc. The weight of a given alternative in determining an utterance u’s full significance varies directly with how well it accords with conversational expectations and how closely related it is to u.\n\nAs I will show\, this framework retains the insights of Gricean pragmatics and meaning-based sociolinguistics while bridging and expanding their empirical reach.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Graded Incoherence for Accuracy-Firsters
DESCRIPTION:Proponents of accuracy-first epistemology claim that the most fundamental epistemic end is to have degrees of belief that are as accurate\, i.e. as close to the truth\, as possible. Other epistemic norms or goods are only valuable to the extent that they help promote this end. In this paper\, we show how accuracy-firsters can defend a version of the norm that it is better to have less\, rather than more incoherent credences. This result is an attractive addition to the norms that accuracy-firsters have already argued for\, for example that our credences should be coherent\, rather than incoherent.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Role of Serpentinites in Subduction Zones
DESCRIPTION:Serpentinites are hydrated (< 13 wt%) olivine-rich ultramafic rocks\, and are abundant on the sea floor\, in mantle wedges\, and along major strike-slip faults.  Serpentinites are particularly abundant in oceanic plates formed at slow spreading ridges\, and are over 25 % of exposed ocean floor.  They incorporate sea water and fluid-mobile elements and transport them from ridges to subduction zones. In subduction zones\, the mechanically weak and \"slippery\" serpentinites facilitate the subduction of the incoming plate by lowering the friction between two plates\, and form an aseismic zone. Serpentinites also form in mantle wedges\, as the result of water released from slabs. These serpentinites are buoyant compared to anhydrous rocks\, and commonly protrude  to the surface along major strike-slip faults\, and diapirs\, such as the Mariana serpeninite diapirs.\n\n\nSerpentinites are stable under a wide variety of settings including the upper mantle. This results in them acting as an important storage of water and fluid-mobile elements (FME)  in the mantle. Eventual dehydration of serpentinites releases them to the hot interior of mantle wedge\, triggering the arc volcanism. Thus\, serpentinites play a major role in the recycling of elements from the surface to the mantle\, and back to the surface via arc volcanoes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Shunsuke Iwai & Ben Matsuzaki
DESCRIPTION:Shunsuke Iwai is a creative director at a top global technology firm in California. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011\, he has been supporting community-building organizations in tsunami-hit Ishinomaki City as a pro-bono activity\, working on creative strategy and executions as well as educational programs. Ben Matsuzaki is the President of Herman Miller Japan. A frequent collaborator with Iwai\, Matsuzaki works as a pro-bono adviser on several community-building initiatives in Ishinomaki City\, including the locally-incubated DIY furniture designer and manufacturer “Ishinomaki Laboratory.”\nEven prior to the 2011 tsunami\, Ishinomaki was a textbook example of a post-industrial city\, suffering from a hollowed-out downtown\, high unemployment\, and high rates of population outflow to more affluent cities like Tokyo. In their work\, Iwai and Matsuzaki partner with organizations that seek not to return Ishinomaki to the way it was prior to the tsunami\, but rather to capitalize on the recovery effort as a means of addressing social\, economic\, and demographic ills that have plagued the city for several decades. Especially central to their activities are addressing urban blight and vacant real estate in downtown Ishinomaki\, and promoting vocational education in art and design and local economic empowerment.\nThe program will begin with a presentation by Iwai and Matsuzaki\, and continues with a panel discussion with Stamps Professor Nick Tobier about the ways in which art and design have been utilized to promote social and economic vitality in Ishinomaki City and Detroit.
