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.

The conference will bring together a wide range of scholars\, regulators\, policymakers\, and practitioners to explore how big data can be used to enhance financial stability and address other challenges in financial markets.\n\nThe Big Data in finance conference\, which is held in collaboration with the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS)\, the Michigan Ross School of Business\, the Michigan College of Engineering and Michigan Law School will explore ways to make financial data more accessible and more secure\, as well as more useful to regulators\, market participants\, and the public. As new data sets are created\, opportunities emerge. Vast quantities of financial data may help identify emerging risks\, enable market participants and regulators to see and better understand financial networks and interconnections\, enhance financial stability\, bolster consumer protection\, and increase access to the underserved. Financial data can also increase transparency in the financial system for market participants\, regulators and the public.\n\nHowever\, these vast data sets can raise significant questions about protecting security and privacy\; ensuring data quality\; protecting against discrimination or privacy intrusions\; managing and analyzing enormous data sets\; synthesizing and presenting data in usable form\; and sharing data among regulators\, researchers\, and the public. Moreover\, any conflicts among regulators and financial firms over such data could create opportunities for regulatory arbitrage and gaps in understanding risk in the financial system.\n\nHow should all of that data be aggregated\, protected\, analyzed\, and shared? We have recruited experts domestically and internationally who have considered these questions and published research on these topics\, or who have dealt with these issues in their professional roles and can ground the policy initiatives with real-world experience.\n\nPlease register at http://financelawpolicy.umich.edu/big-data-conference/.\n\n*Please note: registration to the Big Data conference is free and open to the public\, but space is limited. Registration will close when we reach capacity.

The goal is to discover cellular pathways and new reagents to prevent hearing cell loss and balance disorders. Dr. Rubel's lab has been using the lateral line system of larval zebrafish\, Daneio rerio\, to study modifiers of aminoglycoside and cisplatin hair cell toxicity. This platform is particularly advantageous for in vivo cellular analyses\, for genetic screening and for screening large drug libraries to find protective or toxic compounds. Large numbers of animals can be efficiently processed and a variety of fluorescent markers have been identified that can be used to dynamically examine the viability and cellular processes of hair cells in living animals.\n\nDr. Rubel will focus on two aspects of this work. The first will be a series of studies aimed at understanding the disruption calcium regulation that leads to hair cell death. The second example will be studies attempting to develop a new drug that will prevent hearing loss by screening small molecule libraries of drug-like compounds\, medicinal chemistry and preclinical testing\, including proof of concept evaluation in mammals.

Today\, ELI continues this tradition of pedagogical innovation with its recent forays in online and community-engaged EAP instruction.\n\nWe are thrilled that some of the legendary teachers and scholars associated with the ELI over its long history will be traveling back to Ann Arbor for this event\, joined by leading scholars of corpus linguistics\, EAP graduate communication\, ESL/EFL teacher education\, and textbook development.\n\nEvent free and open to the public\, but space is limited. Light breakfast and lunch provided with RSVP.\n\nGo to www.lsa.umich.edu/eli for a complete schedule and to RSVP.

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:44929-10012299@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:20160915T082349 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161028T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161028T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

Shapiro directs a staff of more than 160 employees and thousands of industry volunteers\, leading his organization’s promotion of innovation as a national policy to spur the economy\, create jobs and cut the deficit. CTA advocates for a lower deficit\, skilled immigration\, free trade and policies that support innovative new business models. CTA does not seek government funding for industry.\n\nShapiro has testified before Congress on technology and business issues more than 20 times and led the industry through its successful transition to HDTV. As chairman of the Home Recording Rights Coalition (HRRC)\, Shapiro led the manufacturers’ battle to preserve the legality of recording technology and consumer fair-use rights\, and opposed legislation like PIPA and SOPA that would be harmful to a robust Internet. He co-founded and chaired the HDTV Model Station\, served as a leader of the Advanced Television Test Center (ATTC) and is a charter inductee to the Academy of Digital Television Pioneers\, receiving its highest award as the industry leader most influential in advancing HDTV.\n\nIn 2015\, The Hill named Shapiro “one of the most influential lobbyists” in Washington\, D.C. Shapiro has also been repeatedly named one of the 100 most influential people in Washington by Washington Life magazine and a Tech Titan by Washingtonian magazine. Shapiro also authored CTA’s New York Times best-sellers\, “Ninja Innovation: The Ten Killer Strategies of the World’s Most Successful Businesses” (Harper Collins\, 2013) and “The Comeback: How Innovation will Restore the American Dream” (Beaufort\, 2011). Through these books and television appearances\, and as a columnist whose more than 500 opinion pieces have appeared in publications such as The Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times and The Washington Post\, Shapiro has helped direct policymakers and business leaders on the importance of innovation in the U.S. economy. He is considered an “influencer” on LinkedIn and has more than 170\,000 followers.

Yet\, this focus on “the state” also raises the danger of reductionist and deterministic explanations\, which reify the political realm and downplay human agency. This workshop will take up the question of how we\, as historians\, conceptualize the meanings of “the state” in our work with those dangers in mind. In their thematic diversity\, ranging from the US-Mexican border to military research\, the panelists’ papers share a commitment to examining the role of “the state.” Yet\, they also reveal how sensitive this category is to specific conceptual and theoretical framings. \nFeaturing panelists:\n\nSalem Elzway (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nToniAnn Treviño (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\nRamón A.

We exploit geographic variation in broadcast reception derived from technological limitations\, including distance to a broadcast tower and UHF versus VHF transmission. We relate this variation to Census data on grade-for-age status\, educational attainment\, and labor market outcomes in 1980\, 1990\, and 2000\, respectively. The results indicate that Sesame Street improved school readiness\, particularly for boys and children living in economically disadvantaged areas. The estimated impact on ultimate educational attainment and labor market outcomes is inconclusive.

The question is to establish the extent and the details of this interaction. We address this question by exploring pitch in the lexicon of Chinese-English bilinguals. Pitch -- or rate of vocal fold vibration -- is the acoustic material used to express sentence-level meanings in English by means of sentence intonation and lexical meanings in Chinese by means of tones. This division of labor of pitch leads to the assumption that pitch is represented in the Chinese lexicon but not in the English lexicon. As a result\, the question arises of how Chinese-English speakers represent pitch in their bilingual lexicons. Do these bilingual speakers represent pitch in English words like speakers of non-tonal languages do suggesting little interaction between their Chinese and English lexicons? Or on the contrary\, do we find differences between the pitch representations of English words by Chinese-English speakers on the one hand and by non-tonal speakers on the other? If so\, what is the nature of these differences and what kind of interaction between the Chinese and English lexicons do these differences suggest? Behavioral experiments and one recent ERP experiment addressing these questions will be presented.

Key advantages of this approach feature dimensionality reduction and improved conditioning\; they may be best leveraged by developing fast algorithms for the evaluation and solution of these integral equations. We present a general framework to accelerate the solution of such boundary integrals using the Quantized Tensor Train (QTT) decomposition as an approximate compression and inversion scheme. We demonstrate that using QTT-based preconditioners for a Krylov subspace method leads to a fast\, memory-efficient and robust solver. Computational costs and storage of computing and updating the QTT inverse are extremely modest O(log N)\, and it can be applied in O(N logN) time. Finally\, we introduce a recently developed BIE formulation for rigid body Stokes flows\, given prescribed forces and torques. We discuss the use of QTT and other fast algorithms in this context\, and discuss applications to particle sedimentation\, low Reynolds number swimming and magnetorheological flows.

Our construction relies on a foliation of 4D flat space into a family of 3D hyperbolic geometries to which the AdS3/CFT2 dictionary is directly applicable. By reformulating 4D scattering amplitudes as 3D Witten diagrams dual to 2D correlators\, we show how the Ward identities of the 2D CFT are equivalent to the 4D soft theorems. Moreover\, we demonstrate how the infinite-dimensional Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras of the 2D CFT are manifested as the asymptotic symmetries of 4D flat space. Finally\, we discuss the interpretation of 4D electromagnetic and gravitational memory effects as a certain version of the 3D Aharonov-Bohm effect.

In an intense contact situation featuring TrSax\, German\, and Romanian\, syntactic transfer is observable in TrSax verb clusters\, resulting in word order variation between TrSax and German-influenced structures\, and a new particle verb structure in TrSax. I compare current data collected through sociolinguistic interviews to data from other TrSax dialects\, and to ancestors of TrSax (e.g. Middle High German\, Luxembourgish) and show that subordinate clause verb clusters pattern differently in TrSax than in related varieties\, displaying flexible distribution between available structures. The transfer of new structures from German into TrSax is facilitated by the typological similarity between the two languages (c.f. Thomason\, 2003)\, however a complete change towards German is prevented by Romanian\, which shares similar structures with TrSax. Speakers who use Romanian regularly display different patterns than speakers who do not use Romanian.

Yet there are poor constraints on when the transition to eukaryote-dominated marine ecosystems occurred and the roles that land plants played in shaping modern-style biogeochemical cycling. Based on an extensive new sedimentary zinc (Zn) isotope record across Earth’s history\, I provide evidence for the onset of eukaryotic regulation of the marine Zn cycle at ~800 Ma. A joint evaluation of the microfossil and Zn isotope records suggests that eukaryotes evolved relatively early in the history of life (~1700 to 1600 Ma) but did not rise to ecological prominence until much later in Earth’s history. Lithium (Li) isotopes are an emerging proxy with the potential to track how the magnitude and style of continental weathering have changed through time. There has been extensive work on Li cycling in modern systems and this work has fostered the development of sound constraints upon the modern Li isotope budget. This work has provided a platform and impetus for the generation of a Li isotope record through Earth's history\, which I will take a first attempt at providing. My initial results provide evidence for inhibited clay formation during weathering prior to the rise of land plants in the early Paleozoic. Therefore\, the long-term Li isotope record provides support for the view that land plants dramatically changed the process of weathering. Interestingly\, this transition appears to occur with the earliest (i.e.\, non-arborescent) land plants.

In response\, adrenomedullary chromaffin cells secrete a cocktail of potent catecholamines and neuropeptides\, stored within secretory vesicles\, into the circulation. The secreted transmitters act in the periphery to drive compensatory or anticipatory changes necessary\, in some cases\, for survival. By design\, the chromaffin cell secretory response is not fixed\, but mutable\, in order that cellular release properties can be rapidly tuned to physiological requirements. However\, the mechanisms underlying the plasticity of this system are unclear. Without this knowledge our understanding of the specificity and subtlety of sympathetic nervous system function will remain limited.\n\nThe chromaffin cell secretory response has been modeled extensively using biophysical methods\, including measurements of changes in plasma membrane capacitance in stimulated cells. The models are consistent with seemingly interchangeable pools of readily releasable\, slowly releasable and reserve vesicles. A major assumption has been that vesicles have the same basic biochemical constituents and that the fusion reaction and the rates of discharge of vesicle contents are uniform. This idea is challenged by our recent findings. Specifically\, we discovered that chromaffin vesicles within the same cell can have functionally different isoforms of the key endogenous Ca2+ sensor Synaptotagmin (Syt). These isoforms (Syt-1 and Syt-7) confer different Ca2+ sensitivities to the vesicles in situ enabling them to respond differentially to depolarizing stimuli. Our current hypothesis is that vesicle heterogeneity may provide secretory cells with a rapid and contextually appropriate means of controlling fusion modes and release properties based on local Ca2+ levels. In this seminar\, I will present data that supports this hypothesis and discuss implications of functional vesicle heterogeneity for the regulation of the secretory response.

First\, in some cases sign languages make visible some crucial aspects of the Logical Form of sentences\, ones that are only inferred indirectly in spoken languages. Second\, along one dimension sign languages appear to be more expressive than spoken languages because rich iconic phenomena can be found at their logical core (e.g. Schlenker\, 'Visible Meaning'\, to appear). Third\, in order to understand the role of iconicity in language in general\, signs with iconicity should be compared to ‘speech-plus-gesture’ rather than to speech alone (Goldin-Meadow and Brentari\, 'Gesture\, sign and language'\, to appear) – hence the interest of a formal comparison between the iconic properties of signs and of gestures. \n\nWe will critically examine two common beliefs pertaining to this comparison. The first is that gestures differ from signs in not being subject to morphosyntactic rules. The second is that when speech is enriched with co-speech gestures\, it can ‘match’ the iconic semantics of signs. We will argue that both claims are incorrect. First\, we will suggest that some ‘gestural verbs’ display non-trivial grammatical properties of sign language agreement verbs\, including under ellipsis. Second\, we will argue that semantically co-speech gestures differ from most iconic modulations in sign language in that the latter typically have an at-issue contribution\, whereas the former are usually presuppositional in nature. As a result\, signs with iconicity afford different expressive resources from ‘speech-plus-gesture’.\n\nRelated readings:\n\nMorpho-syntactic properties of gestural verbs\nhttp://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003120\n\nSemantic properties of co-speech gestures:\nhttp://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/002645\n\nBackground on sign language semantics: \nhttp://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/002447 UID:31065-4026882@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31065 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,colloquium,Discussion,Language LOCATION:Hutchins Hall - 138 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161028T181657 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161028T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161028T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Preprint Algebraic Geometry Seminar DESCRIPTION:https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.02203 Speaker(s): Charlotte Chan (UM) UID:34147-4861493@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34147 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161005T115307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161028T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ethel V. Curry Distinguished Lecture in Musicology Nicholas Cook\, Cambridge DESCRIPTION:Not long ago the idea of creativity in music brought to mind images of Beethoven and composers in garrets. Now the talk is all of collaborative and performative creativity\, with Beethoven dropping out of the picture. This talk proposes a way of thinking about musical creativity that embraces both individual and collaborative practice. It is based on the idea of creative emergence\, which arises out of the social interactions of collective performance. Cook develops existing approaches to jazz improvisation into a general model of real-time musical collaboration with an approach to composition that focuses on composers' interactions with physical or conceptual objects in the realm of “extended imagination.” Ostensibly solo creativity is based on the structures of social interaction\, now translated into the domain of physical and symbolic objects.

What we know about the Roman diet is also dichotomous: the rich dined well on a variety of foods\, while the poor ate wheat\, olive oil\, and wine. But most of this information is drawn from notoriously biased historical records. New\, interdisciplinary approaches to researching Roman health have arisen recently in anthropology. By combining data from carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of skeletal material with lead concentration and palaeopathological analyses\, the average Roman can be seen in a new light. This talk will focus on the contributions that osteological and chemical analyses of three cemetery populations can make to our understanding of Roman diets and health.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.

With Ricardo Scofidio\, Diller was the first in the field of architecture to receive the “genius” award from the MacArthur Foundation\, which stated “their work explores how space functions in our culture and illustrates that architecture\, when understood as the physical manifestation of social relationships\, is everywhere\, not just in buildings.”\nDS+R established its identity through independent\, theoretical\, and self-generated projects before coming to international prominence with two of the most important planning initiatives in New York: the High Line\, and the redesign of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts campus. In addition to the nearly completed Columbia University Graduate and Medical Education Building\, and The Broad museum in downtown Los Angeles\, Diller is Principal-in-Charge of The Shed\, a new center for artistic invention\, and the renovation and expansion of MoMA\, both in New York. Diller graduated from the Cooper Union School of Architecture in 1979\, and taught at the school from 1981-1990. She is a Professor of Architecture at Princeton University.\nDiller is a recipient of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Design Award\, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Design\, and the Brunner Prize from the American Academy of the Arts and Letters. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and International Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. In 2013\, Diller was awarded the Barnard Medal of Distinction\, and DS+R was presented a Centennial Medal of Honor from the American Academy in Rome. Diller was selected by Time magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World.”\nThe John Dinkeloo Memorial Lecture was established to recognize John Dinkeloo's extraordinary contributions to architecture\, to honor his distinguished professional work and to pay tribute to this highly respected alumnus of the Architecture Program at the University of Michigan.

In the piece\, three community leaders will take the stage with ten note cards containing present thoughts and concerns. They will shuffle the deck\, and speak “off the cuff” on each idea. Each monologue will be recorded in collaboration with a sound engineer and looped back as the next card is addressed\, creating\, in the end\, a complex acoustic layering of ideas. \n\nAbout HOW TO GET STARTED\nJohn Cage conceived HOW TO GET STARTED almost as an afterthought—a performance substituting for another that had been planned in 1989 for delivery at “Sound Design: An Invitational Conference on the Uses of Sound for Radio Drama\, Film\, Video\, Theater and Mu-sic” presented by Bay Area Radio Drama at Sprocket Systems\, Skywalker Ranch\, in Nicasio\, California. 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.

With eclectic\, cinematic songs that stir up images of the old West and urban cityscapes\, the singer-songwriter-bandleader takes chances musically and delves into adventurous production while still tapping into bluegrass roots. David's live shows are lively and sometimes comical. He grew up playing bass and touring with his family’s bluegrass band. As a teenager he established himself as a hot picker\, collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. Conscious of being not just a musician\, but an entertainer—something his father instilled in him in the family band—he certainly makes an impression live. But it’s the strength of his songwriting and musicianship\, combined with that charm and personality\, that keep audiences coming back again and again.
