SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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: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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:“Intrinsically Disordered Living Systems”
DESCRIPTION:Complex Systems joint with Biophysics Presents the following Seminar:\n\nAbstract:\n\nTo survive in noisy environments\, organisms must buffer themselves against large fluctuations and accommodate adaptation over a wide range of length and time scales. In this context\, organisms could be conceptualized as active matter where tension between order and disorder prevails: while ordered systems are stable and predictable\, they leave little room for exploration\; therefore\, optimal functioning is often accomplished at an intermediate level of disorder. Examples include intrinsically disordered protein assemblies that remain intact under varying external mechanical and chemical stimuli\, beetles that navigate using volatile celestial cues\, and honeybee clusters that change their morphology to both regulate their bulk temperature\, and to withstand mechanical stresses. In this talk I will focus on the latter example in which honeybees form swarms that take on an inverted cone shape. The bees hold on to each other\, and form a large structure that can be hundreds of times the size of a single organism. The mechanism by which a multitude of bees work together\, without an overseer\, to create a stable structure that defies static gravity and dynamic stimuli (e.g. wind)\, remains elusive. To test the role of mechanical cues in the swarm morphogenesis\, we developed an experimental setup in which mechanical perturbations were applied to a swarm. In response\, the bees tuned the aspect ratio of the swarm dynamically toward a wider\, more stable\, cone. Disorder in this system is manifested in the ability of bees to sample their local environment and respond to events of sharp force by moving within the swarm\, equivalent to a solid-liquid phase transition. Indeed\, agent-based simulations where individual bees are capable of sensing local mechanical stresses\, and respond by changing the global shape of the swarm\, are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results. Together these observations suggest a new paradigm for sensing and feedback-driven stabilization of structures made of active elements.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Plato's Self-Moving Myth. The circulation of Plato's charioteer from late antiquity to the Renaissance\"
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Ahbel-Rappe discusses her book in progress\, in which she investigates the reception of Plato’s Phaedrus\, and especially the famous myth of the soul (Phaedrus 246-249)\, from late antiquity to the Renaissance\, tracing the phenomenon of this text’s migration into exegetical traditions and languages far removed from the original site of Plato’s dialogue. The study relies on the core idea of the text network and asks if the text itself  an agent of its own migration. \n\nRecent work on text networks (Selden\, McCracken\, Lopez) investigating such multi-linguistic migratory texts as the Alexander Romance\, Life of Aesop\, or Barlaam and Josephat\, focus on the trajectory of a text\, a text that takes on its life and makes its home as an immigrant in foreign lands\, among foreign tongues. What astonishes about these texts is that they often perform their very subject matter\, and it has gone unnoticed that the myth of the charioteer in Plato’s Phaedrus fits this profile. What she means is that the myth is an allegory for the soul\, whereas Plato defines the soul at Phaedrus 246 as a self-mover. The story itself\, a tale of the embodied soul being out of place in the world and wandering through cycles of birth and death\, finds its textual analogue as the text takes on a corporeality\, a presence in space and time\, and a diffuse\, variegated voicing.\n\nFormer Humanities Institute fellow Sara Ahbel-Rappe is Professor of Classical Studies. She has written several books that focus on the trajectory of the Platonic tradition\, from the Sokratikoi Logoi to the \"last pagan professor\,\" Damascius. She is the recipient of fellowships from the Institute for Advanced Study\, the Mellon Foundation\, and Center for Hellenic Studies.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Diversity Postdoc Talk - Developmental Area
DESCRIPTION:Title: Language\, culture\, and food: Children's developing social concepts and attitudes\n\nAbstract: Language is multifaceted – not only does language facilitate learning by transmitting information between individuals\, but it also marks social groups in nuanced ways. In this talk\, I will review research I have conducted that examines children’s developing social concepts and attitudes about people who speak in different languages and accents (including children from diverse linguistic backgrounds)\, children’s beliefs about the relation between cultural groups and food\, and their propensity to learn about food from messages provided by other people. My most recent work investigates children’s social reasoning in the context of food\, a domain that has been understudied by developmental psychologists but has important implications for revealing the mechanisms underlying early cognitive development. This work also addresses pressing public health concerns\, namely the development of obesity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Imaging the Motion of Electrons in Semiconductor Structures: The Crazy\, the Boring and the New!
DESCRIPTION:Since the early days of studying electron dynamics in solid state systems\, experimental capabilities have taken great strides – from generating ultrafast pulses across wide swaths of the electromagnetic spectrum (THz to X-Rays)\, to squeezing electron bunches into sub-picosecond packets\, to resolving electron dynamics through photoemitted electrons. With these technologies\, achieving high temporal resolution\, spectral resolution and momentum resolution has become a relatively straightforward process. These technologies also have the potential for high spatial resolution\, birthing techniques such as 4D Electron Microscopy\, time-resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy\, ultrafast electron microscopy/diffraction and time-resolved photoemission microscopy (TR PEEM). Each with its own advantages\, and challenges\, the full potential of these capabilities in accessing the spatial dimensions is only just beginning to be explored. \n\nOf these\, TR PEEM is uniquely capable of resolving electron dynamics simultaneously in space\, time\, energy and momentum. By combining the temporal resolution afforded by traditional pump-probe techniques with the spatial resolution afforded by low energy electron microscopy\, TR-PEEM allows the visualization of electron transport and dynamics in solid state systems at the nano-\, femto-scale. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent results in imaging electron dynamics in semiconductor structures. In a type-II heterostructure\, we image the highly non-equilibrium distribution of electrons in space and energy at the instant of photoexcitation\, and thereafter\, make a movie of their redistribution in space as they move towards equilibrium. In a p-doped GaAs semiconductor\, we image the electron dynamics within a photoexcitation spot – a region inaccessible with optical experiments\, wherein we see unexpected and complex non-equilibrium behaviour. \n\nTime permitting\, I will end with a brief overview of other activities of my group at the newly established Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Okinawa\, Japan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:The strata of abelian differentials with prescribed zeros are interesting objects of study from Teichmuller dynamics point of view. Their connected components have been classified by Kontsevich-Zorich using spin and hyperelliptic structures. In this talk\, I will introduce a compactification of these strata using logarithmic geometry. We show that such compactification distinguishes spin parities over the boundary. Furthermore\, we show that our construction Combined with admissible covers provides a toroidal compactification of the hyperelliptic component and the hyperelliptic loci of the strata. \n Speaker(s): Qile Chen (Boston College)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Uncertain Refuge: Sanctuary in Medieval Literature
DESCRIPTION:In medieval England\, any felon could avoid prosecution under the law by running to a church. Ideally\, the practice of sanctuary aligned divine aegis with royal mercy and human law to protect the lives of desperate people. But because it is a legal exception\, sanctuary can also be resolutely unsafe. Jurisdictional arguments and violations of sanctuary dramatize questions about the relations between law\, kingship\, and divine aegis. Beginning with the strange miracle of a stag in sanctuary\, this paper explores the ways in which uncertain refuge takes on political significance in a range of literary and documentary contexts

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Given a variety X\, a closed subvariety Y\, and a resolution of the pair (X\,Y)\, one may construct a simplicial complex from the combinatorics of the exceptional divisors of the resolution\; this is called the dual complex of the resolution. The dual complex (and other related constructions) provide useful tools to study the singularities of the subvariety Y\; however\, it depends on the choice of resolution. In 2007\, Thuillier proved that the homotopy type of the dual complex is independent of the choice of the resolution (provided we work over a perfect field)\, generalizing a theorem of Stepanov. The proof relies crucially on the theory of Berkovich spaces over a trivially-valued field. Our goal is to introduce the dual complex of a resolution\, and to explain some of the ideas in Thuillier's proof.  Speaker(s): Matt Stevenson (UM)
