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. 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:44929-10012388@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:20161221T163209 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Homer’s Odyssey DESCRIPTION:This study group will do a close reading and discussion of Homer’s Odyssey (Robert Fagles’ translation\, Penguin Classics).

In order to understand biogeochemical cycling in its mean state and as it changes\, we must quantify the role of physical variability in space and time. Here\, three carbon cycle examples will be presented. In Lake Superior\, analysis of a coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model (MITgcm.Superior) shows that physical gradients cause large variation in rates of both production (P) and respiration (R) between nearshore and offshore waters. Accounting for this variability helps to bring the lake-wide carbon budget into balance (Bennington et al. 2012\, JGR). In the model\, fluxes of organic carbon from nearshore lead to elevated R:P ratios in the slope region\, which could support the observed enhanced heterotrophic biomass on the slope (McKinley and Bennington\, in prep). Lastly\, in all the Great Lakes\, I demonstrate that increasing atmospheric CO2 should lead to a reduction of pH by ~0.3 units by 2100\, quantitatively the same as projections for “ocean acidification” in the global oceans. In the Great Lakes\, the existing carbon cycle observational system is insufficient to track such changes (Phillips et al. 2015).\n\nBio: Professor McKinley studies the mechanisms of the carbon cycle in the global oceans and Great Lakes\, with her research lying at the intersection of physical and chemical oceanography. Her primary tools are numerical models and analysis of large datasets. More specifically\, her research addresses the physical drivers of ecosystem and carbon cycle variability in the North Atlantic\, global oceans and Great Lakes. Professor McKinley teaches oceanography and climate science in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at University of Wisconsin – Madison. She is also very active in service to the national and international scientific and policy-making communities.\n_____________________________________________________\nQuestions?

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.

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.

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.

Jewish Voices in Russia and Ukraine: What Are They Saying? DESCRIPTION:The overwhelming majority of Russian-speaking Jews today live outside the Russian Federation. Many of them\, particularly the older generation\, preserve their loyalty to and interest in Russian culture\, but their newly formed national identities and political sympathies can be very fluid and sometimes conflicting. The speaker will present a survey of contemporary Russian-Jewish writing across the borders\, focusing on the variety of representations of Russia and Ukraine as specifically “Jewish” spaces. What does it mean to write fiction in Russian about Ukraine from a Jewish perspective\, and what does this writing tell us about today's Russia\, Ukraine\, and Jews? Some of the authors in the discussion\, such as Ludmila Ulitskaya and Dmitry Bykov\, are already well-known in the West\, while others\, such as Margarita Khemlin\, Inna Lesovaya\, Asar Eppel\, Oleg Yuryev\, Maria Galina\, still await a due recognition. \n \nMikhail Krutikov is professor of Slavic and Judaic studies\, currently serving as chair of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan. He graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in mathematics\, has a graduate diploma in Yiddish literature from Gorky Institute for Literature in Moscow\, and a Ph.D. in Jewish literature from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. A scholar of Yiddish literature and East European Jewish culture\, he has published two books\, \"Yiddish Fiction and the Crisis of Modernity\, 1905­-1914\" (Stanford UP\, 2001) and \"From Kabbalah to Class Struggle: Expressionism\, Marxism and Yiddish Literature in the Life and Work of Meir Wiener\" (Stanford UP\, 2011)\, which won the MLA Fenia and Yaakov Leviant Memorial Prize in Yiddish Literature. He also co-­edited nine collected volumes in the Yiddish Studies series of Legenda Press (Oxford)\, most recently \"Children and Yiddish Literature: From Early Modernity to Post­-Modernity\" (2016). He is also a culture columnist for the Yiddish Forward.\n\nPart of the Minorities series at the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, which focuses on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities.

These conversations have become a rhetorical contest\, one where opposing sides try to achieve victory through playing on fear\, distrust\, and intolerance. At its heart\, this split no longer concerns carbon dioxide\, greenhouse gases\, or climate modeling\; rather\, it is the product of contrasting\, deeply entrenched worldviews. This brief examines what causes people to reject or accept the scientific consensus on climate change. Synthesizing evidence from sociology\, psychology\, and political science\, Andrew J. Hoffman lays bare the opposing cultural lenses through which science is interpreted. He then extracts lessons from major cultural shifts in the past to engender a better understanding of the problem and motivate the public to take action. How Culture Shapes the Climate Change Debate makes a powerful case for a more scientifically literate public\, a more socially engaged scientific community\, and a more thoughtful mode of public discourse.

In this talk\, we will first explain the differences between these two theories\, both in terms of motivation and modeling. Then\, we will see how a dynamic programming principle can be proven for mean field type control problems. To do so\, starting from a stochastic formulation we rewrite such problems as the optimal control of a McKean-Vlasov equation. We can also clarify a link with the calculus of variations for these problems. Last\, a fixed point algorithm will be presented together with numerical results. This is joint work with Olivier Pironneau.

This tributary system construct has most recently re-emerged in international relations scholarship (IR) as a consideration and occasional anxiety associated with the so-called “rise of China.” This lecture traces the origins of the reanimated tributary system model in twenty-first century IR to Anglophone commentaries on Qing-Joseon tribute that emerged at the turn of the twentieth century in the wake of the Qing condolence mission to Joseon on the event of the death of Queen Dowager Jo in 1890. While this recent embrace of the tributary system model in IR circles comes to us swathed as a critical intervention in a larger movement to bring theoretical plurality to a field dominated by the occidentalist norms of Westphalian practice\, it is in actuality a return to orientalist form. It is an elision of historical ontology\, an erasure of the politics of knowledge at the very foundations of Anglophone literatures of tribute. It is\, in short\, a return to a late-Victorian knowledge of East Asian interstate practice.\n\nJoshua Van Lieu is a historian of early modern and modern East Asian politics\, thought\, and critical international relations. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Washington in the histories of Joseon Korea and Late Imperial China. Van Lieu has served as assistant editor and book review editor for The Journal of Korean Studies and has published on nineteenth-century Qing-Joseon tribute politics\, the historiography of reform movements in late Joseon Korea\, the roles of state Guanti cults in Ming\, Qing\, and Joseon narratives of state legitimacy\, and on critical approaches to historical international relations. His current projects include a paper on the transnational politics of translation in late nineteenth-century Korea and China and monographs on pre-colonial historiographies of Joseon factionalism and on the transformation of Qing-Joseon tributary practice in the context of the global modern of the long nineteenth century.\n\nPlease note that in the text above Korean words are written following the Revised Romanization system.

This subcategory was studied recently in the work of Kuznetsov and Addington-Thomas\, among others. In this talk\, I will present joint work in progress with Bayer\, Lahoz\, Stellari and with Lahoz\, Nuer\, Perry\, on how to construct Bridgeland stability conditions on this subcategory. This proves a conjecture by Huybrechts\, and it allows to start developing the moduli theory of semistable objects in these categories\, in an analogue way as for the classical Mukai theory for (commutative) K3 surfaces. I will also discuss a few applications of this result.\n Speaker(s): Emanuele Macri (Northeastern University) UID:37346-6508673@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4096 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170209T123024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Career Competencies and Handshake Clinic DESCRIPTION:This program is for graduate students in the department of statistics.

In 2013\, he became the first photographer to be awarded the National Humanities Medal. He is author of numerous books\, including Silent Cities: The Evolution of the American Cemetery\; Twin Towers Remembered\; and Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto. Over the past 25 years\, award-winning ethnographer and photographer Camilo José Vergara has traveled annually to Detroit to document not only the city’s precipitous decline but also how its residents have survived. From the 1970s through the 1990s\, changes in Detroit were almost all for the worse\, as the built fabric of the city was erased through neglect and abandonment. But over the last decade Detroit has seen the beginnings of a positive transformation\, and the photography in Detroit Is No Dry Bones provides unique documentation of the revival and its urbanistic possibilities. Beyond the fate of the city’s buildings themselves\, Vergara’s camera has consistently sought to capture the lives of Detroit’s people. Not only has he shown the impact of depopulation\, disinvestment\, and abandonment during the worst years of the urban crisis\, but he has also shown Detroiters’ resilience. The photographs in this book are organized in part around the way people have re-used and re-purposed structures from the past. One highlight is his documentation of local churches that have re-occupied old bank buildings and other impressive structures from the past and turned them into something unexpectedly powerful\, architecturally as well as spiritually.​ UID:37668-6654999@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Literature LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170403T094320 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T203000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Environmental Justice Learning Circles DESCRIPTION:The last Environmental Justice Learning Circle will focus on technology access and environmental justice.
