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:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). 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. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. 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

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:2016 Women's Studies Honors Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Ebere Oparaeke\n\"'I'm a black woman\, we been doin this!' How black women conceptualize and enact agency in the home birth space\"\n\nThere currently is limited research about the motivations and experiences of black women who give birth at home\, and instead it is framed as a choice for advantaged\, white women.   With the assumption that giving birth at home allows women more control over their birth\, this project focuses on how black women who have given birth at home think about birth\, how they create birth spaces that prioritize their decisions\, and what particular experiences or challenges black women may face in deciding their place of birth. Using a reproductive justice framework\, this project seeks to understand the current state of planned home birth for black women in the context of health disparities\, limited choices for place of birth\, and challenges in accessing a range of options. This thesis positions black women who give birth at home within the history of black reproduction that extends generations to assert that black women make the decision to home birth within unique historical legacies. The narratives collected indicate that black women’s creation of agentic home birth spaces is done through the support they foster from providers and family\, their rejection of medicalized birth spaces\, and their ability to access the care they seek. In this agentic space\, they are truly able to experience birth as an empowering and life-changing process.  Advisor: Lisa Kane Low and Leseliey Welch\n\nKatherine Irani\n\"Violence and Voicelessness: Experiences of Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence on College Campuses\"\n\nMedia coverage of sexual assault on college campuses has resulted in an uprising of social media campaigns and student activism. The student-led movement has called for extensive policy changes in higher education. However\, intimate partner violence (IPV)\, has fallen to the margins and not received the same attention. Consequently\, the survivor-centered movement and policy changes have centered the experiences of only a certain type of survivor\, making it difficult for IPV survivors to seek justice and support from their institutions. Furthermore\, the movement has largely failed to take into account the intersections of social identity and how marginalized social identities are accounted for within school policies and services. In this thesis\, the experiences of college student survivors of IPV are centered and their experiences with whom they have worked with and sought support from are examined intersectionally\, both in experience and identity. The purpose of qualitative interviews with student IPV survivors (n=24) is to better understand their experiences receiving services from their schools and working within these systems. Of the 24 students interviewed\, 18 did not receive the help or support that they needed from their school. Based on their experiences\, this thesis argues that within intersectional theory both identities and experiences are marginalized within the violence prevention movement. Advisor:  Anna Kirkland\n \nSophia Kotov\n\"Let's Talk About Non-Monogamy: Self-Labeling\, Actual Practice\, and What Happens in the Interstices\"\n\nAmong life’s milestones include one’s first kiss\, high school prom\, engagement\, wedding\, and having children. Not only is monogamy a deeply ingrained norm\, it is tied closely to personal identity. This thesis explores the experiences of individuals who depart from this pervasive norm. Two overarching questions guide this exploration: 1) How do college students talk about their non-monogamous relationships?\; and 2) What factors contribute to a college student’s decision to pursue such a relationship? For the first question\, I focus on how non-monogamous individuals approach labeling their relationship\, as well as if they describe their non-monogamy to be an innate characteristic or a personal choice. In answering the second question\, I describe the impacts of the social pressure of monogamy\, the role of gender\, and the present day context of dating and hook-up culture on college students’ decisions to be in a non-monogamous relationship.  Advisor: Dean Hubbs\n\nMcKenzie Campbell\n\"Fifty Shades of Agency: The Impact of Fifty Shades of Grey on Sexual Agency in America\"\n\nThe immense popularity of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey was due to the book’s erotic rendering of a largely heteronormative tale of taboo sexual encounters. This book created a unique space for women in the United States to question their own sexuality and specifically\, their sexual agency. In The Agency Line: A Neoliberal Metric for Appraising Young Women’s Sexuality\, Laina Bay-Chang defines sexual agency as the neoliberal imperative to make choices about ones sexual agency. Through Chang’s model\, the paradoxical understanding of sexual agency highlights the performative nature of hegemonic femininity and traditional gender roles in America that are enacted by main characters\, Christian and Anastasia while engaging in BDSM. This thesis offers a detailed literary analysis of the text in relation to textual consumerism and fandom\, the question of sexual agency more generally\, and what it means to obtain sexual agency through reading practices in 2016.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. 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. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\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:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhat are successful electoral strategies? Should candidates try to persuade “swing” voters or mobilize their “base”? We present a model that can address these and related questions in a single unifi…ed framework. We relate electoral strategies to the characteristics of voting groups\, with the answers to these questions sometimes being surprising. We show how a candidate may have different ways of winning for given characteristics of the electoral population\, with possible “discontinuities ”in electoral positions that win elections. We believe that the model helps clarify some key issues as well as presenting insights into some real-world experience.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Future of Ethnic Studies
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “The Future of Ethnic Studies\,” a teach-in on the history and current state of ethnic studies and a discussion of its future at the University of Michigan.\n\nIn the past year\, we have seen nationwide campus protests for racial justice and the ongoing battle against budget cuts at San Francisco State University\, where the first ethnic studies programs were founded.\n\nAs the University of Michigan designs its plan for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, we need to ensure that the histories\, cultures\, and communities that make this campus diverse remain a central feature of the curriculum.\n\nThis event is organized and led by graduate and undergraduate students in Arab and Muslim American Studies\, African and Afro American Studies\, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies\, Latina/o Studies\, and Native American Studies. There will be guest speakers\, a performance\, and break-out sessions where students will discuss how UM can support ethnic studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An Interview with Dr. Jack Shaheen on Arab and Muslim Stereotypes Over the Last Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jack Shaheen has been studying representations of Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. media since the 1970s. Dr. Jack Shaheen is renowned worldwide for his lectures and published work\, which illustrate the damaging consequences of stereotyping of Arabs and Muslims. Over the last four decades\, Shaheen has collected and analyzed materials that depict Arabs and Muslims as the “godless cultural other.” He has created an archive of materials that is housed at the New York University library. He is best known for his book\, Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People (2001) and the documentary film of the same name (2006). Rather than giving a formal talk\, we plan for a Q&A format in which Evelyn Alsultany\, Director of Arab and Muslim American Studies\, will interview Jack Shaheen about his experiences researching representations of Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. over the last four decades. The objective is to tap into his long experience in documenting media images and their connections to anti-Arab and anti-Muslim policies and perceptions.\n\nReception to follow lecture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Heather Nova
DESCRIPTION:Heather Nova emerged in the early 1990s. Her first album was hailed as \"a stoned black olive among drab greens\" by NME\, and for many years she was well-established in the world of alternative rock. Her live shows have an intensity and uniqueness that have always created a buzz\, with such combinations as a cello plus distorted guitars. Heather's self-penned songs are raw and emotional\, frequently injected with cool pop melodies—a combination that has often seen her fall through genre cracks. This has both helped and hindered her. The London Evening Standard recently called Heather \"one of pop's most enduring enigmas\" for good reason. She has always made her own way and has had little regard for current trends. Her ninth and latest album\, \"The Way It Feels\,\" has echoes of Americana\, bit of dark folk\, a banjo and some pedal steel here and there. Chris Riffle opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Opera Workshop- Green Opera
DESCRIPTION:Two one acts operas\; reduced versions of Rossini’s La Cenerentola (Cinderella)\, sung in Italian with English supertitles\, followed by Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites\, sung in French with English supertitles. Both undergraduate and graduate level students in Robert Swedberg’s Opera Studio program have worked together to offer these two operas under the musical direction of Timothy Cheek and Steven McGhee. \n\nGreen Operas have been developed as a means of considering more sustainable rehearsal and production elements in the presentation of opera\, including the use of recycled materials for musical scores\, costumes\, scenery and properties\, no printed marketing materials or programs (social media and websites instead)\, as well as the use of LED lights and projected scenic elements.
