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.

With the marked decline in state appropriations for higher education in recent years\, some university leaders are faced with the choice between increasing tuition levels\, cutting expenditures – and thereby reducing resources per student\, or enrolling a greater proportion of students paying full out-of-state tuition. With strong economic growth in countries like China and India\, the pool of undergraduate students from abroad who are academically and financially prepared to attend U.S. colleges has increased markedly in the last decade. In this paper\, we examine whether declines in state appropriations have led public universities to enroll more foreign students who are able to pay the full-fare tuition. Our empirical results\, in combination with a model of university behavior\, tell a compelling story about the link between changes in state funding and foreign enrollment in recent years. \n\n\n\"Preschool and Special Needs Placement: Learning more from the Head Start Impact Study\":\nEvidence suggests that one of the potential long-term benefits of early childhood education is a reduction in rates of special education placement in K-12. Using data from the Head Start Impact Study\, the first randomized control trial of Head Start\, I will present preliminary estimates of the impact of attending Head Start on special education placement in third grade.

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:26647-2127353@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:20160406T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160406T170000 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.

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.

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:29456-3120391@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:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160406T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160406T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016) DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:29503-3129475@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160406T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160406T170000 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.

Urban Hunters: Hustling and Gathering in Postsocialist Ulaanbaatar DESCRIPTION:A major preoccupation of post-socialist anthropology has been to criticize modernist assumptions about linear progress and economic development by replacing these with more nuanced ethnographic accounts of social life in diverse post-socialist settings. At the heart of this approach lies a premise about the continuity of social\, cultural political and cultural forms. Indeed\, the standard anthropological argument goes\, social\, political and cultural forms never appear ex nihilo\, for while traditions\, institutions and modes of livelihood change by merging with others and assume new shapes\, there are never any clean ruptures with the past\, which is always somehow “carried on” into the present. Heeding Joel Robbins’ call to take peoples’ experiences of discontinuity seriously\, the aim of this paper is to analyze post-socialist transition as a distinct existential predicament imbued with unique temporal dynamics. More precisely\, by chronicling the hopes and the hardships of Ulaanbaatar’s so-called “lost generation” of men and women who turned 30 around the turn of the millennium\, the paper explores what happens when post-socialist transition becomes permanent and acquires a logic of its own\, across different arenas of economic and religious life. As Mongolia became stuck in what was supposed to have been a temporary economic crisis\, “transition” became a way of life. Far from resisting change\, people internalized and embodied permanent rupture to such an extent that it almost became second nature to them.\n\nMorten Axel Pedersen is professor of social anthropology at the University of Copenhagen. Since 1995\, he has conducted four years of fieldwork in Mongolia\, the Russian Far East and in Western China on topics as diverse as shamanism\, political cosmology\, post-socialism\, infrastructure\, debt and hope. Most recently\, he has conducted research in Denmark on interdisciplinary collaboration and on Protestantism. He is the author of The Ontological Turn: An Anthropological Exposition (Cambridge\, 2016\, with M. Holbraad)\, and Not Quite Shamans: Spirit Worlds and Political Lives in Northern Mongolia (Cornell\, 2011). His co-edited works include Times of Security: Ethnographies of Fear\, Protest and the Future (Routledge\, 2013). He is currently completing two co-authored monographs: a comparative ethnography of Chinese resource-extraction projects in Mongolia and Mozambique\, and a monograph on Ulaanbaatar’s dispossessed urban youth.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia.

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.

And how could it possibly undermine real gay equality? In this talk\, Walters considers how the pseudo-science of “born this way” can combine with demands for marriage equality and a place in the military to create a “trap.” The trap is to imagine that being tolerated is the same as robust integration for America’s gay citizens. We tolerate what we find unpleasant: pain\, medicine\, annoying relatives. Walters looks at how science\, law and popular culture work to create a world where we have marriage equality and gay celebrities\, but we also have historically high rates of violence against LGBTQ citizens\, a variety of anti-gay legal initiatives and a supposedly gay-friendly Hollywood where very few stars actually come out. Tolerance is not the end goal\, but a dead end for anyone seeking genuine equality.\n\nSuzanna Danuta Walters’ work centers on questions of gender\, sexuality\, family\, and popular culture. Her most recent book\, The Tolerance Trap: How God\, Genes\, and Good Intentions are Sabotaging Gay Equality (NYU Press\, 2014)\, explores how notions of tolerance limit the possibilities for real liberation and deep social belonging. She has also written extensively on feminist cultural theory\, mothers and daughters in popular culture\, queer theory and LGBT studies\, and popular culture. She is currently Editor-in-Chief of Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI)\, and co-sponsored by Department of Communication Studies and Screen Arts & Cultures.

Graduate students take too long to complete their studies and face a dismal academic job market if they succeed. His book\, The Graduate School Mess\, gets to the root of these problems and offers concrete solutions for revitalizing graduate education in the humanities. Cassuto\, Professor of English at Fordham University and graduate education columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education\, argues that universities’ heavy emphasis on research comes at the expense of teaching. But teaching is where reforming graduate school must begin. In his talk\, Professor Cassuto will attempt to return our national conversation about graduate study in the humanities to first principles.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.\n\nPresented by the Department of History with support from the Rackham Graduate School\, Institute for the Humanities\, Department of English Language and Literature\, and Department of American Culture.

Structures of feeling as well as structures of belief were transformed\; there was a reformation of social emotions as well as a Reformation of faith.\n\nAs Steven Mullaney shows in The Reformation of Emotions in the Age of Shakespeare\, Elizabethan popular drama played a significant role in confronting the uncertainties and unresolved traumas of Elizabethan Protestant England. Shakespeare and his contemporaries—audiences as well as playwrights—reshaped popular drama into a new form of embodied social\, critical\, and affective thought. Examining a variety of works\, from revenge plays to Shakespeare’s first history tetralogy and beyond\, Mullaney explores how post-Reformation drama not only exposed these faultlines of society on stage but also provoked playgoers in the audience to acknowledge their shared differences. He demonstrates that our most lasting works of culture remain powerful largely because of their deep roots in the emotional landscape of their times.\n\nSteven Mullaney is professor of English at the University of Michigan.\n\nDouglas Trevor is professor of English at the University of Michigan.

Manet and Mallarmé's Collaboration with Poe\" DESCRIPTION:Late nineteenth-century symbolism in painting and poetry is often seen as a solipsistic turn away from the depiction of modern life to focus on the mental life of the artist. I turn to Edouard Manet's illustrations for Stéphane Mallarmé's translation of Edgar Allan Poe's \"Raven\" to suggest that they were doing something more ambitious: exploring the limits of intelligibility by attempting to fix in visual and literary form the most resolutely subjective aspects of experience. Not only does this involve them in the allegedly absurd task of making private languages manifest to others\, but it reveals concerns akin to those of the era's mathematicians\, philosophers and other thinkers anxious about the possibility of objective knowledge and shared effort in a world of individuals.

Mott Children's Hospital DESCRIPTION:Fate has a magical way of bringing people together. Take the case of Joe and Hannah\, a.k.a Acoustic Eidolon. In 1995\, Hannah\, a studio cellist\, received a call to play on a Boulder ensemble’s record. Hannah listened in amazement as directions to the recording studio told her to turn on a small road near her home\, and then turn down her own street past her house. Little did Hannah know that across the street and three houses away lived Joe\, the greatest double-neck guitjo player in the world (OK\, the only double-neck guitjo player in the world). The double-neck guitjo\, somewhere between a guitar and a harp\, has 14 strings and Joe has developed his own style and technique\, playing both necks simultaneously. Later Joe called Hannah\, saying he’d always wanted to hear the cello and the guitjo together. He had a feeling the harp-like sound of the guitjo\, combined with the warmth of Hannah’s cello\, would be beautiful together. So on a snowy day in February 1998\, they got together to play for the first time. Captivated by the music they created together\, Joe and Hannah immediately agreed to clear out their schedules\, start rehearsing full-time\, and form what would become Acoustic Eidolon. Musical/business partnership and friendship blossomed into their marriage on October 14\, 2001. Hannah and Joe (and sons Zach and Alex) became a family. Joe and Hannah joke that this was a marriage of convenience since they were already together all the time anyway!\n\nNote special 7:30 p.m. starting time.
