SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Abstraction: A Graphic Study
DESCRIPTION:Chicago-based artist Natasha Kohli uses abstract acrylic paintings to convey her messages of positivity and love by pouring that energy into each piece. As a self-taught artist\, Kohli is not bound to school taught rules but rather follows instinct and spontaneity. This also allows her to freely create her own processes. Moments of introspection and feelings of acceptance are what Kohli wishes to offer viewers of her work\, and these goals are inspired by her deep love of spirituality and Bikram yoga.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Concrete Ephemera: Street Art Captured
DESCRIPTION:David Zinn has been drawing on sidewalks for well over a decade\, using chalk and charcoal to create anamorphic 3D creatures which\, when viewed at a precise angle\, appear to exist in the real world. They often incorporate parts of the landscape and found objects\, such as cracks in concrete or leaves on the ground. He is inspired by a desire to place cheerful art underfoot in unexpected places and to embrace the temporary nature of all things. For this exhibit\, photographs of his street art installations will be on display. Zinn is a lifelong Michigander with a degree in creative writing from the U-M Residential College\, and he worked for many years as a children’s radio host on WCBN and Michigan Radio. Zinn will also give an artist demonstration alongside a musical performance by Magdalen Fossum in the University Hospital Courtyard on Thurs\, July 21\, 2016 from 12:00-1:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition. Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n    \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n    \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n    \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n    \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\; Women's Studies Department\; Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside
DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Systems Seminar Series Presents 'How “Martin-Quinn” Scores of Supreme Court Justices Work (And Don’t Work)'
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nAt the heart of attitudinal and strategic explanations of judicial behavior is the assumption that justices have policy preferences. In this paper we employ Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to fit a Bayesian measurement model of ideal points for all justices serving on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1953 through 1999. We are particularly interested in determining to what extent ideal points of justices change throughout their tenure on the Court. This is important because judicial politics scholars oftentimes invoke preference measures that are time invariant. To investigate preference change\, we posit a dynamic item response model that allows ideal points to change systematically over time. Additionally\, we introduce Bayesian methods for fitting multivariate dynamic linear models to political scientists. Our results suggest that many justices do not have temporally constant ideal points. Moreover\, our ideal point estimates outperform existing measures and explain judicial behavior quite well across civil rights\, civil liberties\, economics\, and federalism cases.\n\nLink to this work being featured in the New York Times article about the Supreme Court Justices.  \nAs cited on LSA website:\nhttp://lsa.umich.edu/lsa/news-events/all-news/search-news/dean-martin-s-martin-quinn-scores-featured-in-new-york-times.html\nDirect link to New York Times article:\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/06/27/us/eight-member-supreme-court.html?_r=1

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Removed
DESCRIPTION:Removed (2016) explores processes of progressive translation\, abstraction and distortion. Musical improvisation is captured as choreographic experience\, then encoded into digital animation and 3D-printed sculptural forms. The performances are transformed by their conversion into visual media: sound is removed\, movement is abstracted from human anatomy into non-representational geometry\, and time is rendered as space. Removed creates a dialogue between the intuitive and the formalized\, and invites questions about the nature of translation and the absences it conceals.\n\nJoin us for an exhibit reception on Tuesday\, September 13th.\n\nChristopher Burns is a composer\, improviser\, and multimedia artist whose works explore collage\, layering\, and the use of generative algorithms to form and develop both musical and visual elements. His work creates a dialogue between complexity and clarity\, incorporating densely braided\, rapidly shifting materials alongside gradually evolving\, linearly directed textures. He is currently scholar-in-residence at the Digital Media Commons.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:The F-signature of a local ring\, a numerical invariant shown to always exist by Tucker\, is the asymptotic measurement of the number of Frobenius splittings for which a local ring of prime characteristic admits. The F-signature serves as a measurement of singularities. Most notably\, the F-signature of a local ring is 1 if and only if the ring is regular\, by work of Huneke and Leuschke\, and the F-signature of a local ring is positive if and only if the ring is strongly F-regular\, by work of Aberbach and Leuschke. I will discuss how the notion and existence of F-signature extends to all rings which are F-finite but not necessarily local. Our methods our made meaningful by extending Huneke's and Leuschke's and Aberbach's and Leuschke's theorems to the non-local case.   This is based on joint work with Alessandro De Stefani and Yongwei Yao. Speaker(s): Thomas Polstra (University of Missouri)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Everyday Ethics in Colonial India: Akhlaq Literature\, Urdu Print Culture\, and the Diversity of Muslim Thought\"
DESCRIPTION:In the late-19th and early 20th centuries\, a range of Urdu texts were published in India within the genre of akhlaq (ethics). All were texts about ethics\, but they varied immensely in both style and content. This talk examines Urdu akhlaq literature\, with a focus on how this genre helps us elaborate a history of Muslim South Asia. While there is a robust body of work on Muslim history in South Asia\, much of it has focused on elite figures\, canonical texts\, institutional formations—religious and political. Urdu akhlaq literature provides an opportunity to consider more popular forms of religious and social discourse and their impact on our understanding of Muslim and South Asian history.\n\nFarina Mir is a historian of colonial and postcolonial South Asia\, with a particular interest in the social\, cultural\, and religious history of late-colonial north India. Her first book\, The Social Space of Language: Vernacular Culture in British Colonial Punjab (University of California Press\, 2010)\, is a study of the Punjabi language and print culture under colonialism (from 1849-1947)\, with a particular focus on qisse\, or epic stories/romances. The book was awarded the 2011 John F. Richard Prize in South Asian History from the American Historical Association and the 2012 Bernard Cohn Prize from the Association of Asian Studies. Mir’s current research focuses on the history of Islam and Muslims in colonial India. She is working on a book project\, tentatively titled\, “Producing Modern Muslims: Everyday Ethics in Late Colonial North India.” The project aims to broaden our understanding of Muslim thought in late-colonial India\, focusing on the role of popular ethics in constituting modern Muslim subjectivity and history.\n\nMir is associate professor of history and director of the Center for South Asian Studies at the University of Michigan. She also serves on the Council of the American Historical Association and as vice-president of the American Institute of Pakistan Studies.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event 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.

DESCRIPTION:Honors courses are offered in a wide variety of disciplines to allow you as much flexibility as possible in choosing courses that meet your interests and academic goals. We realize\, however\, that in a college with thousands of courses offered each term\, there is no way we can offer an Honors component for every course that Honors students are interested in taking. Attend ONE conversion workshop (or make an advising appointment) for details and access to the conversion paperwork required. (This is necessary\, even if you have completed Honors course conversions in the past).

SUMMARY:Performance:Zach Heckendorf
DESCRIPTION:Students: Welcome to Ann Arbor and to the Ark\, a world-class club with music for all ages and tastes!

That was then. Now 22 and on his own two feet touring the country\, Zach has further developed his craft\, combining his bread and butter of fluid songwriting and strong musicianship with a deep passion for contagious hip-hop rhythms. Zach can energize a room\, establishing a unique relationship with his audience. Now with a full band\, his dynamic range extends beyond acoustic common ground and into a satisfyingly thorough and raucous sound. He comes to The Ark's Student Welcome Show with a new release\, \"Speed Checked by Aircraft.\"
