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.

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.

The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery.

In his introduction\, Cage talks about the difficulty of initiating the creative process\, while exploring the usefulness of improvisation\, a subject about which he had long been deeply ambivalent. He proposes a col-laborative framework in which sound engineers capture and subsequently layer his extemporized monologue\, which consisted of ten brief commentaries on top-ics then of interest. This amounted to an experiment having to do with thinking in public\, before a live audience.\n\nTwenty years after John Cage's first and only performance of HOW TO GET STARTED in Nicasio\, the John Cage Trust and Slought Foundation joined forces to create an interactive installation enabling the public to add yet another layer to the mix: your extemporizations on your ten topics of interest\, in your voice. Drawing upon Cage’s realization of HOW TO GET STARTED as a script in effect\, performers have been invited to participate in its further life\, both in public settings and in the more intimate\, specially designed recording studio at Slought.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012295@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161020T151459 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161024T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161024T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Digital Humanities and the Black Diaspora DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kira Thurman\, Assistant Professor of German and History at U-M\, explores how digital technologies such as web development and geo-spatial technologies can be effective tools in advocating for black diasporic histories. \n\nShe will highlight the creation of the wordpress site\, blackcentraleurope.com\, which offers a repository for primary documents and images related to the black diaspora to Central Europe from the medieval era to the present.

In so doing\, they were able to make a history that has long been rendered invisible - the history of Black people in Europe - visible through data visualization technologies. Both of these projects - the creation of the site and the collaborative\, interactive map of Black Central Europe - have encouraged new conversations on campus and on both sides of the Atlantic about German history and Black studies.

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.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment.

Ambivalent Encounters: Migration\, Conversion\, and Historical Anxiety in Spain’s “Muslim City” DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the way historical entanglements across the Mediterranean shape the politics of multiculturalism in modern Europe. I argue that historical anxieties about the implications of Islam for Spain’s European belonging produce ambivalence about the growing Muslim population today. Through ethnography of Muslim and non-Muslim historical memories of al-Andalus\, I trace how both Islamophobic and Islamophilic discourses shape the possibilities and limitations of Muslim inclusion. \n \nMikaela Rogozen-Soltar received her PhD in Sociocultural Anthropology from the University of Michigan in 2010.

We argue this is because voters don’t just ask themselves “which party best represents my policy preferences?” but also ask “how is someone like me supposed to vote?” Voters don’t just consider their personal preferences. They also consider the expectations of the salient groups with which they identify. These expectations are social norms\, shared beliefs about what constitutes appropriate behavior for members of the identity group\, and individuals’ choices reflect trade-offs between personal interests and adherence to norms. We illustrate this claim with survey experiments on representative samples of the US and British populations examining the group identity component of ideological self-placement and documenting norms that discourage voting against one's group and encourage support for the policies normatively associated with one’s group. We directly measure these norms and show that they influence real-stakes voting behavior when group identity is salient.

The color-filled work of Cacao Rocks fills the city\, and he has spearheaded large creative projects to fill abandoned factories and dull\, downgraded neighborhoods with color\, inviting artists from around the world to join him. Now in Ann Arbor\, come watch him paint (October 17-27) and talk to him (October 25) about his interventions and collaborations\, the street art scene in Athens\, its highs and its lows\, and the uses of street art as a powerful form of expression and communication. \n\nRaised in the port of Piraeus near Athens\, Greece\, Cacao Rocks began experimenting with graffiti while living Corfu when he was 12\, where he won a contest held by Greenpeace. A few years later\, he took a break from street art to study French Literature in the School of Philosophy at the University of Athens. Meanwhile he worked on the side to construct sculptures of polyurethane\, wool\, wood\, and found objects. In 2009 he took up video art and won the first prize in the National Film Festival Shoot It\, and was a awarded a scholarship in Focus school of art\, video\, and photography. He started painting all over the city. Besides his work on the street\, he has exhibited in galleries and museums in Mykonos and Athens\, the UK\, and Italy\, among other places. He has participated in many street art and graffiti festivals in Greece and abroad.\n\nCacao Rocks is one of three internationally known street artists visiting the University of Michigan this fall to paint new murals in downtown Ann Arbor as part of the Global Graffiti Project\, a partnership between the Institute for the Humanities\, the Modern Greek Program\, and the History of Art. The project seeks to engage the campus and greater community with international artists who offer a global perspective on street art.

In joint work with Jane Hawkins and Lorelei Koss\, we have a family of rational functions that converges to a transcendental family. This transcendental family contains parameters for which the Fatou set is empty. Since a rational function can have an empty Fatou set but a polynomial cannot\, this approximation by rational functions is\, in a sense\, more natural than the previously known approximations by polynomials.

Italian Style: Fashion and Film DESCRIPTION:Italian cinema launched Italian fashion to the world. This lecture is based on Professor Paulicelli’s latest book\, \"Italian Style: Fashion & Film from Early Cinema to the Digital Age\,\" which tells the story of this launch. The creation of an Italian style and fashion as they are perceived today\, especially by foreigners\, was a product of the post World War II years. Before then\, Parisian fashion had dominated Europe and the world\, and had helped shape a Parisian and French identity. The lecture explores how film contributed to the shaping of an Italian style and fashion that ran parallel to and at times took the lead in the creation of an Italian national identity. Fashion and film are powerful industries and media machines that construct powerful symbolic narratives and identities. It is hardly surprising\, then\, that Italian filmmakers have been fascinated by the transformative power of the language of clothing and fashion and the impact it has on style\, consumption\, and behavior. \n \nEugenia Paulicelli is professor of Italian and comparative literature at Queens College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She is the founder and director of fashion studies in the MA in liberal studies and PhD concentration at The Graduate Center. She has published several books as author and editor. In her writing she has explored the intersections between word and image in literature\, cinema\, fashion\, and the media\; the impact of technology in shaping these intersections\; and the history and role of women in relation to fashion\, the visual arts\, and writing (literature and journalism).

I work to understand the allocation strategies of microbial decomposers in the context of ecosystem process\, as well as how these decomposers interact with mycorrhizal fungi- critical members of the plant microbiome. I place these frameworks in the context of optimization and game theory\, and test predictions at micro and macro scales. By doing so\, I hope to create a more predictive ecosystem ecology\, informed by the explicit representation of microbial life.

I'll exhibit examples relatively simple LG models where the conformal field theory at the low energy fixed point can be explicitly identified using modular invariance of the torus partition function. I'll start with a brief introduction to the (0\,2) Landau-Ginzburg Lagrangian and discuss important concept such as supersymmetry\, anomalies and central charge.

If the protons and neutrons did not interact\, the Pauli exclusion principle would force the majority fermions\, usually neutrons\, to higher average momentum. However\, recent high-energy proton and electron scattering experiments show that short-range interactions between the fermions form correlated\, high-momentum\, neutron-proton pairs\, known as Short-Range Correlations (SRC). Thus\, in neutron-rich nuclei the probability of finding a high-momentum (k>kFermi) proton (a minority Fermion) is greater than that of a neutron (a majority Fermion). \n\nIn this talk I will present the experimental studies of SRC in nuclei and review some of their wide ranging implications to topics in particle and astro physics (including the EMC effect\, neutrino scattering and neutron stars structure and properties). Given time\, I will also present a new theoretical description of atomic nuclei\, using an asymptotic formalism developed to describe ultra-cold atomic gasses. This first successful use of atomic theory in nuclei may lead the way to simulate certain aspects of nuclei and atomic traps.

In rough terms\, we can express the partition function (and many other related quantities) of random matrix models in terms of orthogonal polynomials\, so that asymptotic questions in random matrix theory can be immediately translated to the asymptotic theory of orthogonal polynomials. A natural generalization of standard orthogonality on the real line is provided by non-Hermitian orthogonality\, where the standard bona fide inner product is replaced by orthogonality with respect to a non-Hermitian bilinear form\, typically expressed in terms of contour integrals in the complex plane. Although the direct connection to random matrix theory is lost\, the formal partition function associated to the model is meaningful to enumeration problems of graphs in compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Hence the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials is still of interest. However\, due to the analytic character of the integrands defining the orthogonality there is a lot of freedom in the choice of contour of integration for the orthogonality\, and consequently classical potential-theoretic techniques have to be suitably adapted and improved in combination with more recent Riemann-Hilbert methods. In the first part of our talk\, we will survey some old and not-so-old results on the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials\, focusing on how their asymptotics can be extracted with the aid of the S-curves. This first part is partially based on joint work with Arno Kuijlaars (KU Leuven - Belgium). But this story is not yet over! Another generalization of standard or- thogonality is provided by the multiple orthogonality\, where the conditions of orthogonality are split into two (or more) measures. This generalization is again physically meaningful: many random matrix models (and also random path models) can be described in terms of such multiple orthogonal polynomials. However\, the asymptotic analysis of such polynomials has so far been restricted to situations involving symmetries in the model. So in the second part of our talk we plan to discuss some more recent developments towards removing such symmetry constraints. This is an ongoing project with Andrei Martinez-Finkelshtein (Universidad de Almeria - Spain)\, and as such the whole picture is not yet complete. At any rate we will talk about how the S-contour business can be generalized to this situation\, and how a salad of critical measures and quadratic differentials comes to the table.

Any invertible n x n matrix can be written in the form LwU where w is a uniquely determined permutation matrix and L\, U are lower and upper triangular respectively. For a fixed w\, the closure of the set of matrices LwU is called a matrix Schubert variety\, and the corresponding Schubert polynomial is its torus-equivariant cohomology class. \n\nI will explain the approach of Knutson and Miller which relates this geometry to the combinatorics in a natural way\, via Gröbner bases and Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial complexes. No knowledge of algebraic geometry will be assumed beyond the correspondence of ideals and varieties.
