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.

His distinctive style of artistic expression captured the spirit of civil rights and black pride.\n\nAs an artist and educator\, Lockard was a mentor to many on the University of Michigan campus and beyond. Among other accolades\, he was a founder of the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. His paintings can be viewed across the U-M campus\, including many of the murals in residence hall multicultural lounges.\n\nHours: Sun 1-10pm\, Mon-Thurs 8am-10pm\, Fri 8am-5pm\, Sat 1-6pm\n\nJoin us for a reception on Tuesday\, February 23\, 3-6pm in the Fine Arts Library\, with honored guest Mrs. Leslie Kamil\, the artist's widow.

Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006. All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm UID:26647-2127340@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26647 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160309T163823 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

What about things that happen in femtoseconds or eons? Time in the natural world is so extreme\, you can’t even perceive most of its scale unaided.

The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\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.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

Transplantation remains the best treatment for long-term survival. However\, transplant is limited by the number of available donors\, plateaued at approximately 2\,500 cases per year. Mechanical circulatory support with artificial blood pumps can effectively treat patients with end-stage heart failure. These devices have evolved considerably\, now allowing long-term survival to approach that of heart 
transplantation. Dr. Haft will discuss the evolution of mechanically supported circulation 
including the use of Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) and the Total Artificial Heart.\n\nDr. Haft is a practicing cardiac surgeon at the University of Michigan and the Associate 
Director of the Cardiovascular Center Intensive Care Unit. His clinical interests include adult cardiac surgery\, mechanical circulatory support\, heart transplantation\, critical care and
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Biomedical Breakthroughs: The Future is Here.

Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:29456-3120378@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W.

In this uniquely interdisciplinary work\, Lisa Lowe examines the relationships between Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries\, exploring the links between colonialism\, slavery\, imperial trades and Western liberalism. Reading across archives\, canons\, and continents\, Lowe connects the liberal narrative of freedom overcoming slavery to the expansion of Anglo-American empire\, observing that abstract promises of freedom often obscure their embeddedness within colonial conditions. Race and social difference\, Lowe contends\, are enduring remainders of colonial processes through which “the human” is universalized and “freed” by liberal forms\, while the peoples who create the conditions of possibility for that freedom are assimilated or forgotten. Analyzing the archive of liberalism alongside the colonial state archives from which it has been separated\, Lowe offers new methods for interpreting the past\, examining events well documented in archives\, and those matters absent\, whether actively suppressed or merely deemed insignificant. Lowe invents a mode of reading intimately\, which defies accepted national boundaries and disrupts given chronologies\, complicating our conceptions of history\, politics\, economics\, and culture\, and ultimately\, knowledge itself.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Race\, Colonialism\, and Sexualities Initiative.

We examine whether workers' lack of information affects working conditions in the garment industry in Bangladesh. We use a retrospective panel of the wages and working conditions of 991 garment workers (matched to the factories they work in) collected in 2009. We find that internal migrants work in factories with worse conditions\, but move towards factories with better conditions as they gain experience. These facts are consistent with a model in which migrants are poorly informed about working conditions upon beginning work but do learn as they gain experience in the industry.

Chris Pires\, Associate Professor\, University of Missouri DESCRIPTION:Ancient whole genome duplications (WGDs) are ubiquitous throughout the evolutionary history of higher eukaryotic lineages. These events have been hypothesized to be the basis for major evolutionary transitions\, including the origin of novel traits in large species radiations across plants\, fungi\, protozoa\, and animals. Repeated rounds of WGDs\, or polyploid events\, have been best documented among the flowering plants\, and tend to be phylogenetically near the origin of speciose clades. However\, the mechanism driving diversification remains poorly understood. We analyzed the impact of the two most recent WGDs in Arabidopsis on diversification rates and the origin of novel phenotypes. Phylogenetic analyses of these two WGDs show that both events occurred following mass extinction events. The origin of two novel classes of chemical defenses\, indole and met- derived glucosinolates (i.e. mustard oils)\, are associated with duplicated regulatory and biosynthetic pathways that arose via WGDs. Our analyses suggest that the origin of these novel defense compounds spurred anevolutionary arms-race with insect herbivores\, resulting in massive co-radiations of both the host plant and predatory insects.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxlmgRk0-CU&index=45&list=PLY8QfwKxxfG5m5mkB3f3nNO5bF0cYKXqV UID:29307-3067348@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29307 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Lecture,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160310T110307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Time Crimes: The 20th Century’s Long Now\" DESCRIPTION:In this j’accuse\, Professor Edwards prosecutes the 20th century for its crimes against time. The major charges include disrupting biological time\, mechanizing time\, killing eternity\, chopping time up\, accelerating time\, multiplying futures\, and enfeebling the past. The primary and most serious charge\, however\, is that the 20th century occupied the planetary future\, colonizing it for its own needs with reckless disregard. By altering characteristics of the Earth itself—in ways likely to endure throughout all future human history and even beyond\, into geological time—the 20th century asserted a murderous and tyrannical power over time\, far beyond the feeble attempts of any of its predecessors to do the same.\n\nThe evidence in his case will reference infrastructures and sociotechnical systems built and spread across the planet during the long 20th century. Among them are electric power\, standard time zones\, fossil fuels\, digital computers\, nuclear weapons\, and nuclear power. His primary exhibit—connecting all of the others in sometimes unexpected ways—will be the history of meteorology and global climate science. Ironically\, the latter willingly participated in these terrible crimes even as it rose up to stop them.\n\nPaul N. Edwards is a professor in the School of Information and the Department of History at the University of Michigan. His research explores the history\, politics\, and cultural aspects of computers\, information infrastructures\, and global climate science. Professor Edwards is co-editor (with Geoffrey C. Bowker) of the Infrastructures book series (MIT Press)\, and he serves on the editorial boards of Big Data & Society: Critical Interdisciplinary Inquiries and Information & Culture: A Journal of History. His most recent book is A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming (MIT Press\, 2010).\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

It is named in honor of Zora Neale Hurston\, the most prolific African-American woman writer of her time or earlier. Using the power of her imagery and the richness of the cultures she brought to life through her writings\, Hurston continues to serve as an inspiration for those seeking to fulfill their intellectual curiosity. \n Michael Awkward\, Director of what was then the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies initiated the ZNH Lecture in 1994 with a presentation by Arnold Rampersad on the work of writer Langston Hughes\, a Hurston colleague. Over the past 20 years\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies has continually sought to engage prominent public intellectuals from across the globe to speak on a topic of their choice in Hurston’s honor. Speakers such as Alice Walker\, former Director Ali Mazrui\, Geneva Smitherman\, Mary Frances Berry\, Cheryl Wall\, Brenda Gottschild Dixon\, Lorna Goodison\, Dorothea Smartt\, Farah Jasmine Griffin\, Sharon Holland and others have shared their perspective on a wide variety of subjects. In doing so\, these scholars exemplify Hurston’s insatiable inquisitiveness as she once noted\, “Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.” UID:29784-3209797@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29784 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Anthropology,Culture,History,Language,Philosophy,Visual Arts LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - 100 (Gallery) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160314T204107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160324T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Creative Design - David Rand DESCRIPTION:Come hear David Rand\, a seasoned design pioneer in the automotive industry\, discuss how to create emotionally compelling design within the cultural and practical constraints of a large corporation. \n\nFor more than thirty five years David Rand has been a designer working in the automotive industry.

Blurring the lines between life and art\, Zittel's projects extend to her own home and wardrobe. Wearing a single outfit every day for an entire season\, and constantly remodeling her home to suit changing demands and interests\, Zittel continually reinvents her relationship to her domestic and social environment. Influenced by Modernist design and architecture from the early twentieth century\, the artist's one-woman mock organization\, A–Z Administrative Services\, develops furniture\, homes\, and vehicles for contemporary consumers with a similar simplicity and attention to order. Seeking to attain a sense of freedom through structure\, Zittel is more interested in revealing the human need for order than in prescribing a single unifying design principle or style.\nZittel's work has been exhibited internationally in galleries\, museums\, and biennales including the New Museum of Contemporary Art (NYC)\, the Museum of Contemporary Art (CA)\, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA)\, Museum of Modern Art\, Guggenheim Museum (NYC)\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art among others. She is also co-organizer of High Desert Test Sites\, a non-profit that supports experimental art projects in the Joshua Tree region.
