SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:John Cage: \"How to get Started\" sound installation
DESCRIPTION:Sound installation of John Cage's \"How to Get Started\,\" featuring a library of previous performances.\n\nAbout \"How to Get Started\": John 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

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.

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:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Isolating Gaza: Enforced Immobility and the Production of an “Open-Air Prison”
DESCRIPTION:A strip of land around 25 miles long and 7 miles across at its widest point\, access to the Gaza Strip is controlled\, and severely limited\, by Israel (from the north\, east\, and the sea to the west) and Egypt (to the south). In the past fifteen years Gaza has not only been targeted for attack\, but also victimized by enforced immobility. Through years of policies of increasing control\, closure\, and blockade\, Israel has created this vulnerability and it has then deployed immobility as a lethal weapon. This talk traces the trajectory of movement control in Gaza and considers how Gazans have lived with and against these restrictions. \n    \nIlana Feldman is Professor of Anthropology\, History\, and International Affairs at George Washington University. She is the author of Governing Gaza: Bureaucracy\, Authority\, and the Work of Rule\, 1917-67 (Duke University Press\, 2008) and Police Encounters: Security and Surveillance in Gaza under Egyptian Rule (Stanford University Press\, 2015)\; and co-editor (with Miriam Ticktin) of In the Name of Humanity: The Government of Threat and Care (Duke University Press\, 2010). \n\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Photoferrotrophy and the Evolution of Earth Surface Chemistry and Life
DESCRIPTION:Photoferrotrophic bacteria harness energy from sunlight to fix inorganic carbon into biomass while oxidizing ferrous iron. They thus populate illuminated\, iron-rich (ferruginous) environments where they contribute to biogeochemical cycling of carbon\, iron and many other elements. Though rare on Earth today\, ferruginous conditions were the hallmark of the low oxygen oceans of the Precambrian eons. Photoferrotrophs likely populated these early ferruginous oceans driving primary production and supporting the Precambrian biosphere. Emerging insight from modern photoferrotrophic bacteria suggests that Precambrian photoferrotrophs could have played a pivital role in the evolution of atmospheric chemistry and life over billions of years of Earth’s early history. This seminar will present these recent advances and propose a new model for the evolution of Earth’s early atmosphere and life in the Precambrian eons.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:When constructing a polynomial P whose Julia set has a desired \"shape\" S\, a strategy is to make |P| roughly constant on S.  When S is a disjoint union of smooth Jordan domains\, this can be accomplished by equidistributing the roots of P in the boundary of S according to harmonic measure.  Why does this work\, and what are the actual values of these polynomials?  I will discuss how answering this question involves relating the Poisson kernel (the density of harmonic measure) to contour integrals on various canonical conformal representations of S^c.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Over a decade ago\, Welschinger defined real enumerative invariants in dimensions 2 and 3. It has remained an open problem to extend these invariants to higher dimensions. I will discuss a solution to this problem in the language of open Gromov-Witten theory. The key idea is that boundary point constraints should be replaced with canonical gauge equivalence classes of Maurer-Cartan elements (bounding chains) in the relevant Fukaya A-infinity algebra. The resulting invariants satisfy a version of the open WDVV equation\, which determines all invariants for projective spaces. Conjugation symmetry does not place an essential role in our arguments. \n\nThis is joint work with S. Tukachinsky. Speaker(s): Jake Solomon (IAS)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Matters of Graphene
DESCRIPTION:Dark matter remains one of the principal motivators for new physics beyond the Standard Model. Although it comprises the vast majority of the matter in the Universe\, its properties continue to elude us. For decades\, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) have served as the primary theoretical paradigm for dark matter. However\, as a wide variety of experiments put such models to the test with no definitive detections\, we are challenged to reevaluate this canonical scenario. I will discuss the theoretical motivations and experimental prospects for moving beyond the WIMP paradigm. The focus will be on direct detection experiments\, which aim to discover dark matter via its scattering off targets located deep underground. I will present a new proposal to use two-dimensional materials\, such as graphene\, as targets for dark matter that is lighter than a WIMP. This proposal provides the first opportunity for directional detection down to MeV masses\, and can be implemented by the PTOLEMY experiment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of last week's talk: The relation between (standard) orthogonal polynomials and random matrix theory is\, by now\, somewhat classical. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker: Social Media in Political Branding: Narendra Modi and the New Twitter Technocrat
DESCRIPTION:Social media such as Twitter and Facebook are increasingly central to political communication with the citizenry. In over 30 low- and middle-income countries\, both the head of government and primary opposition leader have significant social media campaigns\, despite internet access and social media still widely outside the reach of the vast majority of the voting population. In this talk\, we explore the factors that make social media an attractive form of outreach for political leaders\, examining the case of one of the most successful social media campaigns – that of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With over 22 million followers on Twitter and over 35 million “likes” on Facebook\, Modi has a means of directly reaching the citizenry or addressing the mainstream media through social media channels. His campaign on social media offers an important example on the symbolic value of technology in the political campaign. We examine the frequency\, tenor\, and popularity of messages\, the evolution of thematic discussions\, and the use of political metaphor in Modi’s sharpening of a new populist discourse as leader of an aspirational\, global India.\n\nAbout Joyojeet:\n\nJoyojeet Pal is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Information where his work focuses on user experience and accessibility in low- and middle-income countries. His recent research looks at the use of social media in political communication in India\, specifically on the role of political branding online in India. He has also researched and produced the feature documentary\, “For the Love of a Man” based on the religious\, political\, and economic origins of fan following for film stars in South Indian Cinema.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:In seventeenth-century Isfahan\, poetry could be heard everywhere\, from the shops of craftsman to the homes of the nobility\, and members of all social classes tried their hand at composing verses. But the very prevalence of poetry threatened to make it commonplace and reduce it to a leisurely pastime\, posing a formidable problem for a writer pursuing a vocation as a literary artist. No poet faced this challenge with greater determination or success than Sā’eb Tabrizi (d. 1676). This talk examines the social practice of poetry in Safavid Isfahan and shows how Sā’eb fashioned his career and his public persona to achieve his position as the preeminent poet of not only Isfahan\, but the larger Persianate world.
