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.

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.

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.

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:44929-10012382@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:20170104T152959 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:mmmmmm writing DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Sweetland Peer Writing Center on Thursday\, January 19th any time between 9:30am and noon for free coffee and donuts. \n\nCheck out Writing Center and find out how we can help you with your essays\, research papers\, and other writing projects in the coming year.\n\nPeer Writing Center - Angell Hall G219 UID:37271-6483091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37271 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Food,Free,Undergraduate,Writing LOCATION:Angell Hall - G219 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161202T140212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AUTOMATED AND CONNECTED VEHICLES: HISTORY\, DEVELOPMENT\, M-CITY\, AND THE FUTURE DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peng is the Roger L.

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.

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.

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. 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.

The research presented in this session offers a new picture on the evolving relationship between the Bible\, midrash\, and Jewish history.\n\nJordan Rosenblum\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nIs Pesher Habakkuk \"Midrash\"?\n\nAnswer: No\n\nJordan D. Rosenblum is Associate Professor and Belzer Professor of Classical Judaism at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the literature\, culture\, and history of the rabbinic movement. His first book\, Food and Identity in Early Rabbinic Judaism (Cambridge University Press\, 2010\; paperback: 2014)\, explores the intersection between early rabbinic food regulations and identity construction. He is currently completing a book\, entitled The Jewish Dietary Laws in the Ancient World (under contract with Cambridge University Press)\, which examines ancient critiques and apologies for biblical food regulations. In addition\, he is the co-editor of Religious Competition in the Third Century C.E.: Jews\, Christians\, and the Greco-Roman World (Vandenhoek and Ruprecht\, 2014). \n\n\nTzvi Novick\, Notre Dame\nCanon to Right of Them\, Canon to Left of Them: Liturgical Poetry in Late Antique Palestine\n \nLate antique liturgical poetry—piyyut—is intensely biblical. Indeed\, like the floors of the synagogues in which they were performed\, liturgical poems might be thought of as biblical mosaics\, pieced together from words and phrases from the Bible. The assimilation of the Bible into piyyut becomes increasingly mediated by rabbinic interpretation\, and in this sense piyyut can be considered an offshoot of the burgeoning corpus of rabbinic midrash. But piyyut is not simply biblical pastiche\, or second-hand midrash. Piyyut selects and manipulates its midrashic sources to suit its distinctive needs. Moreover\, and as importantly\, piyyut is a praxis\, with its own traditions\, even a nascent canon. Finally\, piyyut\, as prayer\, constructs God as a listening and even a speaking presence in the synagogue\, and thus rubs against the historical claim at the basis of the Bible’s canonical authority\, namely\, the end of prophecy. My paper examines these ways in which piyyut sets itself apart from the Bible and from the rabbinic interpretation thereof.\n \nTzvi Novick occupies the Abrams Chair of Jewish Thought and Culture at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses on rabbinic and para-rabbinic literature from late antiquity\, with special interests in law and liturgy. He has published a book on law and ethics in early rabbinic literature\, and numerous articles on topics in the Hebrew Bible\, Second Temple exegesis\, rabbinic literature\, and piyyut.\n \nRespondent: Rachel Neis\, Associate Professor in History and Judaic Studies\, University of Michigan.\n \n\nSponsored by: Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Near Eastern Studies\, American Academy of Jewish Research\, American Academy of Religion\, LSA Dean’s Office\, UMOR Small Grants to Support Major Conferences\, Rackham Dean’s Strategic Initiative Fund.\n\nIf you have any questions or you would like to receive the rest of the 2016-2017 calendar for the Beyond the Book speaker series\, contact Rebecca Scharbach Wollenberg (rwollenb@umich.edu).

This week I will present the proof of Van Handel's nearly sharp improvement of Latala's inequality. Latala's inequality yields a dimension-free bound on the spectral norm of Gaussian matrices with independent entries (but not necessarily i.i.d.\, the entries can have arbitrary variance pattern). Van Handel's stronger version of the inequality is also optimal for many structured matrices.

I will overview my work on two different instances of using development to understand phenotypic evolution: ovariole number in Drosophila and migration in the monarch butterfly. I found that developmental complexity has influenced ovariole number diversification and that the same developmental pathway can link both phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary diversification of ovariole number in Drosophila lineages. More recently\, I have been working towards establishing the monarch butterfly as a model to study the molecular genetic ‘design’ of migration and how this influences the evolution of the migration strategy. I will describe experiments in which we leverage natural variation in migration capability to take a comparative developmental approach to identify the genetic and environmental basis of monarch migration.

This paper takes us to the Atlantic port city of Havana to explore the history of one would-be revolutionary: José Antonio Aponte. A free black carpenter\, artist\, and military veteran\, Aponte allegedly masterminded an ambitious plot against the colonial state and slavery in Cuba. Among his tools for recruitment to the movement was a book of paintings (made by his own hand) in which he reimagined a history of the world in order to make a radical black and antislavery future.\n\nAda Ferrer is Professor of History at New York University. She is the author of Insurgent Cuba: Race\, Nation\, and Revolution\, 1868-1898 (1999) and Freedom's Mirror: Cuba and Haiti in the Age of Revolution ( 2014) which won the multiple book prizes\, including the Frederick Douglass Prize awarded by the Gilder Lehrman Center at Yale for the best book on slavery\, abolition\, and resistance\, and awards from the American Historical Association in Latin American\, Atlantic\, and African Diaspora History. She is currently completing a popular history of Cuba for Scribner. \n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

This paper analyzes CSR activity using quasi-experimental variation created by Section 135 of India’s Companies Act of 2013\, which requires (on a “comply-or-explain” basis) that firms satisfying specific size or profit thresholds spend a minimum of 2% of their net profit on CSR. We examine effects along a number of different dimensions including firm value\, CSR spending\, and other outcomes\, as well as exploring broader theoretical implications. Our analysis uses financial statement and stock price data on Indian firms from the Prowess database\, along with hand-collected data from firms’ disclosures of CSR activity. By combining a regression discontinuity (RD) framework (based on a nonparametric local polynomial regression approach) with a standard event study\, we find a negative and substantial effect on the value of affected firms (relative to unaffected firms) around the crucial event date. This effect seems to be concentrated among firms that are less customer-facing\, as indicated by low advertising expenditures. Using a difference-in-difference approach\, we find significant increases in CSR activity among firms affected by Section 135\, especially in the fraction of firms engaging in CSR spending. The fraction of firms subject to Section 135 that engage in advertising expenditures appears to have declined\, consistent with substitution between advertising and CSR. There is no robust evidence of any significant impact on sales or accounting performance\, although a modest decline in the return on assets cannot be ruled out. For a subset of large firms\, we hand-collect comprehensive CSR data and find that while firms initially spending less than 2% increased their CSR activity\, large firms initially spending more than 2% reduced their CSR expenditures after Section 135 came into effect. We explore various explanations for this presumably unintended consequence of Section 135\, and also seek to derive some wider implications of this analysis for understanding the role of CSR.

Many statements of Fano varieties have a counterpart for log terminal singularities. One central topic on the geometry of a Fano variety is its stability which for instance reflects whether the Fano variety carries a canonical metric. In this talk\, we will discuss a recent joint work with Chi Li (some part still in progress) in which we want to establish a local stability theory of a fixed log terminal singularity. Inspired by the study from differential geometry\, (e.g. tangent cone\, Sasakian-Einstein metric)\, for any log terminal singularity\, we investigate the valuation which has the minimal normalized volume. Our goal is to prove various properties of this valuation which enable us to degenerate the singularity to a K-semistable T-singularity (with a torus action) in the Sasakian-Einstein sense.
