She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

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.

Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

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.

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 UID:30043-3321481@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T170000 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.

Polish Towns? Jewish Towns? Urban Development in Interwar Eastern Poland DESCRIPTION:With their central market squares\, churches and synagogues\, and mixed Polish-Jewish populations\, the small towns of interwar eastern Poland have come to be viewed\, somewhat simplistically\, as places of either prewar interethnic tolerance or simmering ethnic tensions on the eve of the Holocaust. The story was of course more complicated—and more interesting. This talk will explore how Polish modernizers in the borderlands framed their attempts to create explicitly “modern” urban spaces—with paved streets\, regulated borders\, and orderly town councils—through a national lens. In what ways did Poles on the supposedly more “tolerant” wing of the political spectrum seek to transform towns into anti-Jewish spaces? How did the local context intersect with broader ideas about nationalism\, civilization\, and modernity? Ultimately\, to whom did these towns belong—and who decided the answer to this question? By illuminating local stories from the archives\, this presentation invites us to explore how global ideas about civilizational hierarchies and the construction of a European-centric civilizing project were used to marginalize certain populations as “foreign” in the very places that they called home. \n \nKathryn Ciancia is assistant professor in the History Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She received her Ph.D. in history from Stanford University in 2011 and went on to work as a postdoctoral lecturer in two of Stanford’s liberal arts programs before moving to Madison in 2013. She is currently completing her first book manuscript\, Civilizers in Their Own Backyard: Interwar Poland and Its Eastern Borderlands\; an article based on part of the book\, entitled “Borderland Modernities: Poles\, Jews\, and Urban Spaces in Interwar Volhynia\,” is forthcoming in the Journal of Modern History. She is also beginning work on a second book project\, which will explore the everyday role of Polish consulates in Western Europe\, the Middle East\, and the Americas between the wars. \n \nPart of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

For example\, they naturally contain accidentally stable ‘baryon’ and/or ‘pion’ Dark Matter candidates. Moreover\, if the strong sector enjoys chiral and custodial symmetries\, it can offer a framework for Composite Higgs models\, where the Higgs doublet is a partially-composite light ’pion’. I will discuss how this can be made consistent with the flavor sector of the SM and comment on the main LHC phenomenology both in direct and indirect searches.

While these performances helped introduce Peking Opera abroad and earned Mei Lanfang universal praise and admiration\, they more importantly gave Peking opera an opportunity to highlight\, for international audiences\, its new cultural identity\, to present its art as a modern aesthetic system\, and to project its claim to historical authenticity. The Peking opera presented there was not a form preserved from time immemorial\, but the outcome of an intense ideological debate among the younger generation of the cultural elite within China as to the validity of traditional Chinese theater with the most radical opinion denouncing Peking opera as the dregs of traditional society\, bond up with everything dispicable of the old social order and values\, and their opponents boldly claiming the modern relevancy of the form by actively engaging with international performing arts as present in Europe\, the US and Japan. Mei Lanfang’s carefully prepared international tours with the radically reformed Peking opera were to decide this debate and the domestic fate of genre altogether through international recognition by audiences that included foreign cultural elite and much of the international avant-garde. In this sense\, these tours were the catalyst and the crowning glory of the modernization of the genre. The talk will explore these tours in the context of the shifting self- definition\, self-narration and self-historization of Peking opera in its struggle to become China’s “national opera.”\n\n*Image:“Mei Lan-fang\, China’s Greatest Actor Here for His American Premiere.” Drawing\, 1930.

DESCRIPTION:Future data from galaxy redshift surveys\, combined with high-resolutions maps of the cosmic microwave background\, will enable measurements of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) signal with unprecedented statistical significance. This signal probes the matter-velocity correlation function\, scaled by the average optical depth (tau) of the galaxy groups and clusters in the sample\, and is thus of fundamental importance for cosmology. However\, in order to translate pairwise kSZ measurements into cosmological constraints\, external constraints on tau are necessary. In this talk I will present the current state of kSZ measurements\, including a recent measurement by SPT and DES\, insights from simulations\, as well as recent progress in modeling the tau profile of galaxy clusters.

Here\, we analysis the optimal trading decisions of an agent who is exposed to prices that evolve according to an unknown jump-diffusion. We show that the resulting optimal stochastic control problem with partial information reduces to one with full information\, solve the filtered control problem in analytic closed-form\, and show how the optimal trading decisions are modified by the uncertainty. Several numerical experiments are presented to illustrate how algorithmic trading strategies are modified.\n \n[ This is joint work with Philippe Casgrain\, U.

Upon illumination with resonant light\, these gold nanocrystals generate plasmons (coherent oscillations of conduction band electrons). These plasmons\, in turn\, can produce local electric fields and heat. In this talk I will discuss four short stories about gold nanocrystals and their plasmons. In “Physics” we will discuss how molecules experience the local electric field. In “Chemistry” we will discuss how the surface chemistry of the nanocrystals can be tuned with both hard and soft shells\, and how the particular chemistry at the surface dictates molecular function. In “Biology” I will discuss how these nanocrystals interact with biological fluids and living cells\; and in “Ecology” I will discuss how these nanoparticles are distributed in an estuarine ecosystem as a function of surface chemistry.\nCatherine Murphy (University of Illinois) UID:30414-3452060@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160916T171328 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T230000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:IMSB to Reopen September 28\, 2016 DESCRIPTION:After a long-awaited 17-month\, $21.4 million renovation\, the Intramural Sports Building will officially reopen on Wednesday\, September 28\, 2016 at 4:00pm\, with regular facility hours to follow.

Was the “Marxism” of iconologists in Czechoslovakia real intellectual endeavor\, or was it only a somewhat clumsy (possibly intentionally clumsy) answer to what was asked by the programmatic documents of “socialist art history\,” formulated in 1951? How did they understand the word “iconology”? What did this word connote and what role did it play in the choice of topics\, methodology and argumentation strategies in their research? Was there a clear demarcation line between the ideas belonging to a genuine social history of art and the opportunist acceptance of certain Marxist-Leninist doctrines motivated by pragmatic calculations beyond academic interest in the subject of investigation? In the introductory part of the lecture\, these questions will be opened on a general level. Thereafter\, an attempt will be made to answer them in relation to concrete persons and their works. The interpretation of \"Dürer´s Apocalypse\" by Rudolf Chadraba will be shown in context of his and contemporary criticism of the Roman Catholic Church. The reconstruction of ancient myths in medieval artworks\, as performed by Karel Stejskal\, will be contextualized in the framework of traditional iconology as well as in its relation to the Leninist theory of culture.

This random Taylor series is distinguished by the invariance of its zero set with respect to the isometries of the complex plane. \n\nI will show that the law of the zero set\, conditioned on the GEF having no zeros in a disk of radius r\, and properly normalized\, converges to an explicit limiting Radon measure in the plane\, as r goes to infinity. A remarkable feature of this limiting measure is the existence of a large 'forbidden region' between a singular part supported on the boundary of the (scaled) hole and the equilibrium measure far from the hole. This answers a question posed by Nazarov and Sodin\, and is in stark contrast to the corresponding result known to hold in the random matrix setting\, where such a gap does not appear.\n\nThe talk is based on a joint work with S.
