Archigram operated as an experimental think-tank. The practice produced a multitude of products that represented a shift in how architectural practice is considered including a magazine\, projects\, models\, exhibitions and proposals. This shift in architectural practice focused on prioritizing processes and responsive structures for living. Influenced by popular culture and responding to the proliferation of technological advances at the time\, as well as recognizing the increasing social and political discontent\, Archigram’s production emphasized mobility and flexibility in ways that continue to have currency today.\nAt Archigram\, Crompton was an enthusiast of gadgets\, machines\, techniques and systems\, and invented the provocative “things that go bang in the night” projects. He orchestrated the Archigram Archives in 1975 when the practice ended. With Ron Herron\, Crompton was responsible for the assembly and design of the major exhibition “Archigram: Experimental Architecture 1961-74\,” which opened in Vienna in 1994. He shepherded the Archigram Exhibition around Europe\, Asia and North America. Archigram was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2002.\nOutside of Archigram\, Crompton had a strong involvement with the Architectural Association School since 1965 where he taught for over thirty years. More recently\, he taught masters courses in Architecture and Urban Design at The Bartlett School of Architecture and frequently lectures in the U.S. and Europe.\nExhibition opening reception for Crompton's exhibition\, \"Archigram\,\" will immediately follow at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St.\, Ann Arbor).

Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

She created this body of work to increase awareness and emphasize cardiac health for American Indian women by informing\, supporting\, and encouraging self-care and the value of changing life ways. Shawls are symbols of womanhood and are of significance to many American Indian tribal cultures. Now-a-day traditional female dancers complete their regalia by carrying the shawl over their left arm which is closest to the heart\, and the fringe sways to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:44929-10012376@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:20170202T091836 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Clements Library: A Century of Collecting\, 1903 - 2016 DESCRIPTION:The William L Clements Library is one of the world’s finest early American history collections.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

Cordillera Capital: Baguio and the Architecture of U.S. Colonialism in the Philippines DESCRIPTION:My presentation centers on the construction and use of Baguio\, an American colonial retreat in the U.S. colonial Philippines located in the mountains of northern Luzon. It had been designed for U.S. officials to find relaxation and reprieve from the tropical heat of the lowlands and arguably from their colonial charges. To build this colonial place\, Americans appropriated indigenous peoples’ land\, transforming what had been fodder for the Ibaloi peoples’ cattle into sites for recreation and landscape views to offset colonialists’ nostalgia and gird them for the colonial occupation. Ibaloi pasture became grassy parks\, a polo field\, a golf green tended by Ibaloi caddies\, and flower and vegetable gardens of the colony’s new headmen. Though the enclave\, far from the Manila capital\, may seem superfluous to U.S. rule\, Americans used the hill station\, designed by Progressive-era architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham\, in politically significant ways: to reproduce American labor in the colony—in cultural and material terms--\, recruit a comprador class\, and gain a foothold in a region that became critical to justifying U.S. rule by the 1910s. I will discuss what this small\, colonial retreat can tell us about the history of U.S. colonialism in the Philippines.

Rosemarie Garland-Thomson\, influentially\, has argued that in disability’s “economy of visual difference\, those bodies deemed inferior become spectacles of otherness while the unmarked are sheltered in the neutral space of normalcy.” In the form of comics\, this particular relationship with visual embodiment is placed front and center for the reader to engage with\, through drawn imagery on the page. For autobiographical comics\, especially\, this relationship raises questions about how authors might employ various visual codes in order to elude the objectifying gaze commonly associated with looking at disability. Using as its case study Al Davison’s memoir about living with spina bifida The Spiral Cage\, this talk examines the relationship between disability\, representation\, visuality\, and autobiography in comics.\n\nBio: Frederik Byrn Køhlert is a Lecturer at the University of East Anglia. His research concerns issues of representation in literary and visual culture\, with a special emphasis on comics and graphic novels. He is the author of several articles about trauma\, gender\, and representation in autobiographical comics\, as well as a monograph on literary representations of Chicago. His most recent research focuses on political comics and cartoons\, and he is currently working on projects concerning the intersection of comics and anarchism and the international reception of Charlie Hebdo in the wake of the shootings at the newspaper’s editorial office. His book Serial Selves: Identity and Representation in Autobiographical Comics is forthcoming from Rutgers University Press. \n \nThis event is generously cosponsored by the UM Disability Initiative and the Disability Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop.\n\nPlease RSVP to enijdam@umich.edu.

In this talk\, we will present the Extended Smoothed Boundary Method (SBM)\, which uses a phase-field-like domain parameter to define the bulk domain where the partial differential equations are solved and the boundaries where the boundary conditions are imposed. This method is straightforward in derivation and simple in numerical implementation. As a diffuse interface approach\, the SBM circumvents the need for structural meshing of the interfaces\, which are difficult when the interfacial morphologies are complex. Thus\, the SBM is a very powerful tool for image-based three-dimensional microstructural simulations. A variety of partial differential equations can be reformulated using the SBM\, including those that govern mass transport\, stress-strain responses\, phase transformations\, and electrochemistry. Validation tests are presented\, and applications of the SBM will be demonstrated\, including simulations based on experimentally obtained three-dimensional microstructures in energy materials.

Explanatory gaps are often thought to foreclose reductive possibilities wherever they appear. In response\, reductivists who grant the existence of these gaps have offered countless local solutions. But all such reductivist responses have had a serious shortcoming: because they appeal to essentially domain-specific features\, they cannot be fully generalized\, and in this sense these responses have been not just local but parochial. Here I do better. Taking for granted that the explanatory gap is a genuine phenomenon\, I offer a fully general diagnosis that unifies these previously fragmented reductivist responses.\"\n\nhttps://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/about/faculty/neil-mehta-2/ UID:31439-4260709@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31439 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170113T181724 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics DESCRIPTION:Tautological relations are certain equations in the Chow ring of the moduli space of curves.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Variations in Agulhas warm water transports along the southeast African continental margin foster exchanges of heat and moisture with the atmosphere that influence southern Africa regional rainfall. \nExpedition 361 tapped exceptionally intact archives back to the late Miocene in four of the sites. The sedimentological characteristics range from highly terrigenous near the Zambezi (Site U1477) and Limpopo (U1478) Rivers and in the Natal Valley (U1474) to carbonate rich in the northern Mozambique Channel (U1476)\, the Agulhas Plateau (U1475) and the Cape Basin (U1479). Nannofossils and foraminifers provided well-developed shipboard biostratigraphies that are in accord with paleomagnetic and diatom stratigraphies. All of the studied fossil groups show a mixture of tropical\, subtropical convergence\, and temperate or subpolar species in the southernmost sites\, and changes through time in these assemblages will provide important constraints on the dynamics of the Agulhas system. The records sampled on Expedition 361 hold significant potential to investigate the connections between southern African terrestrial climates and SE Indian Ocean heat budgets\, and notably the links to the cultural evolution of early modern humans. The talk will give a background and overview of the expedition and present emerging preliminary results.

Grenoble DESCRIPTION:Lenore A. Grenoble is the John Matthews Manly Distinguished Service Professor and Chair of the Department of Linguistics and Humanities Collegiate Division and the Acting Director of Graduate Studies for Slavic Linguistics\, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago.\n\nLenore Grenoble: \"When the dream falters: The role of the linguist and how to do\, and undo\, things with words\"\n\nAbstract\nDr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. 15 years later\, in 1983\, President Ronald Reagan signed into law a national holiday in commemoration of his life and death. The law went into effect three years later\, with a bumpy history\; it was not until the year 2000 that all 50 states celebrated the holiday under this name\, with opponents citing a number of reasons ranging from King’s alleged communist ties to claims of his overall historical insignificance.\n\nDr. King had a dream\, a dream that his “four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” (King 1963). \n\nCurrent world events give reason to question the status of Dr. King’s vision today This year\, as part of the official commemoration of his life and death\, it is time to take stock of where we are\, where we have been\, and where we are going As a linguist\, I consider this question of judgment not just on skin color\, but also on language\, a key indicator of identity.\n\nIn this talk I examine what we do\, as speakers and listeners\, with words\, and how as linguists we can lay these devices bare so that we can “undo” some of them. There are ample examples here in the US\, but I take a broader\, international stance and draw on data from my own fieldwork in Russian\, and on indigenous languages in the Arctic and in Africa\, and consider three interrelated practices:\n\n1. Naming practices (including the name of this very holiday)\n2. Social indexing: creating stereotypes and using them\n3. Language (in)equality and linguistic rights\n\nAs linguists –be it as teachers or students of linguistics—we have a particular responsibility to educate the public\, and one another\, about what we do with words. I echo Dr. King in wondering how successful we have been in fulfilling our obligations as educators\, and think about how we can do better:\n\nAt this point\, I often wonder whether or not education is fulfilling its purpose. A great majority of the so-called educated people do not think logically and scientifically. Even the press\, the classroom\, the platform\, and the pulpit in many instances do not give us objective and unbiased truths. To save man from the morass of propaganda\, in my opinion\, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence\, to discern the true from the false\, the real from the unreal\, and the facts from the fiction.\n -Martin Luther King\, Jr. (1947) UID:31068-4026886@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31068 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,colloquium,Discussion,Language LOCATION:East Hall - 4448 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170113T181725 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Preprint Algebraic Geometry Seminar DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): Bhargav Bhatt (UM) UID:37477-6591151@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37477 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161216T131827 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reconstructing History of African Slavery in Qajar Iran: Interplay between Photography and Anthropology DESCRIPTION:The study of Iranian photo-history is still in its infancy and began only in the late 1970s. When Western scholars focus on the contributions of European photographers in Iran and on issues of Orientalism\, Iranian scholars\, eager to document indigenous contributions\, published evidence based on the rare collection of photographic albums of the Qajar period. None of these two groups of researchers have shown any particular interest in visual representations of the enslaved in general\, and African slaves in particular\, in their studies. Even among historians of Iran the topic of slaves (bardeh) and slavery (bardeh dari)\, especially African slavery\, is a non-developed topic.\n\nAccordingly\, this presentation investigates the ways in which African slaves were represented\, documented\, debated\, and asserted in a wide range of photographs of Iran during Qajar period (1789–1925). These images capture the presence of African slaves who have too often been ignored and erased from the historical records of Iran. We view these photographs as powerful images with enduring meanings and legacies. In that context\, these photographs are important and perhaps the only historical sources that can inform the thinking of readers and scholars about the intertwined histories of African slavery and photography in Iran. All of these photographs reveal the different ways in which African slaves were posed by others\, and remind us to ask ourselves about the meaning of being an African slave in Iran. Therefore\, this project endeavors to demonstrate the undeniable importance of such photographs to understand the history of African slavery in Iran. \n \nPedram Khosronejad is Farzaneh Family Chair and Associate Director for Iranian and Persian Gulf Studies Program (IPGS) at the Oklahoma State University and also associated member of Groupe Sociétés\, Religions\, Laicités\,CNRS-Paris\, France.

Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.
