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:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Lighting\, Cameras\, Action: Technological Revolutions in Modern Chinese Theater
DESCRIPTION:From lighting units to digital projectors\, the machinery responsible for the magic of the theater often remains hidden offstage\, out of sight and out of mind. Beginning in the early decades of the 20th century\, however\, certain influential Chinese theater artists began to view the technical side of modernized stagecraft as the key to innovation in both the aesthetics and the political efficacy of this popular medium. This talk will counterpoise two key moments in the history of revolutionary theater—a performance of the international anti-imperialist hit\, \"Roar\, China!\,\" in 1930s Shanghai and stagings of the “revolutionary model operas” (geming yangbanxi) in the early 1970s—in order to explore the relationship between the use of technology in the theater and theater as a technology for producing affect and action. \n    \nTarryn Li-Min Chun is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Study of China at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. Her work focuses on intersections of theater\, literature\, and visual media in modern and contemporary China\, Taiwan\, and Hong Kong. She received her PhD from the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University\, as well as an MA in Regional Studies-East Asian from Harvard and a BA in East Asian Studies from Princeton University. Her current book project\, based on her doctoral dissertation\, examines the relationship between technological modernization and aesthetic innovation in Chinese theater from the 1930s to the present. During her postdoctoral fellowship\, she is working towards a new book manuscript chapter on the relationship between stage technology and ideology in the Cultural Revolution model operas and developing a digital humanities extension of her project.

DESCRIPTION:Hiram E Fitzgerald is University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology and Associate Provost for University Outreach and Engagement at Michigan State University. He is nationally recognized for his work on civic engagement. Undergirding his approach is the understanding that the academy is not the sole source of knowledge and expertise\; both expertise and great learning opportunities in teaching and scholarship reside in non-academic settings as well. Through community engagement\, universities can fulfill their promise both to prepare students for productive citizenship in a democracy and to produce knowledge that benefits society. This form of engagement requires a framework for scholarship that moves away from emphasizing products to emphasizing broader impacts for society at-large.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:On a compact Kahler manifold\, the Kahler-Ricci flow is a differential equation whose solution\, when it exists\, is a family of Kahler metrics on the manifold. Initially introduced to produce canonical metrics on complex manifolds\, the Kahler-Ricci flow is now a major tool in Kahler geometry. I aim to give a brief account of how the Kahler-Ricci flow arose in the study of canonical metrics\, and to explain\, in the case of complex surfaces\, how the Kahler-Ricci behaves as an analytic version of the minimal model program.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Varieties of Democratic Diffusion: Colonial\, Alliance\, and Neighbor Networks
DESCRIPTION:Numerous studies have reported that countries tend to become more similar to their immediate geographic neighbors with respect to democracy. In this lecture\, Michael Coppedge will confirm this finding with far more extensive Varieties of Democracy data and show that a similar process of mutual adjustment can be found within very different international networks: international alliances and geographically dispersed colonial empires\, especially those that were founded early and lasted a century or more. The electoral democracy index from the Varieties of Democracy project\, which is the dependent variable\, includes historical democracy ratings for colonies\, making it possible to test these relationships extensively for the first time. The causal mechanisms for the diffusion of democracy are notoriously vague\, but the existence of diffusion within alliance and colonial networks helps narrow the possibilities. Where these relationships are significant\, the net tendency is overwhelmingly convergence. Allies have tended to become more similar to one another in their levels of electoral democracy\; colonies have tended to democratize more quickly than similar countries that were never colonies\; and some colonizers have tended to democratize more slowly than similar countries that never had colonies. Coppedge will distinguish between effects that took place during colonial rule and later relations between former colonies and their colonizers. \n    \nMichael Coppedge is professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame and a faculty fellow of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies. He is also one of the principal investigators of the Varieties of Democracy Project\, which has produced new measures of hundreds of aspects of democracy and governance for nearly all countries since 1900. He is the author of \"Democratization and Research Methods\" (Cambridge University Press\, 2012)\; \"Strong Parties and Lame Ducks: Presidential Partyarchy and Factionalism in Venezuela\" (Stanford University Press\, 1994)\; and dozens of articles and chapters on democratization\, research methods\, and Latin American political parties and elections.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Michigan in Washington Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Michigan in Washington Program admits 45-50 University of Michigan undergraduates from ALL MAJORS to spend a semester (Fall or Winter) in Washington\, D.C. Students combine coursework with an internship to earn a full semester  of credits. \n\nStudents find internships in their area of interest\, and also produce a research paper on a topic of their choice. Each student has a mentor  who is a U-M alum. On weekends students visit the monuments and explore the cultural scene in the capital.  Most leave Washington longing to return after graduation.  \n\nScholarships are available for this living and learning program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:In Math 631\, you learn about the configuration X of 27 lines on a smooth cubic surface in projective 3-space\, reducing to the Fermat cubic case\; moreover\, each line in said configuration meets exactly 10 other lines. There's a notion of dual graph for projective subschemes\, the dual graph of X is 10-regular and 10-connected (graph theory notions)\, and X has Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity 11. As part of a larger narrative\, Benedetti-Di Marca-Varbaro (https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.02134) deduce a theorem involving dual graphs of arithmetically-Gorenstein line configurations with planar singularities\, which places this factoid from Math 631 into a general framework of enumerative geometry facts like it. They give seven examples in 3-space to illustrate their work\, and hopefully I'll have time to mention Example F (F=Fermat surfaces). With a view towards stating  Benedetti-Di Marca-Varbaro's main theorem\, I'll first try to survey the notions of dual graph and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity as they pertain to complete intersection projective subspace arrangements.    \n\nThis talk won't have proofs. My goal is to survey a handful of results more or less chronologically\, and have a few examples on hand for illustration. The curious audience member can check out the relevant papers for self-study\, or stop into Student Commutative Algebra where we try to work through the more algebraic facets of their work.  Speaker(s): Robert Walker (UM)

SUMMARY:Other:Bystander Intervention Training
DESCRIPTION:Central Student Government is deeply committed to changing the culture around sexual misconduct and alcohol and other drug misuse on campus. This is why we want to empower Michigan students to receive Bystander Intervention training around these important and challenging issues.We have instituted a pilot funding policy\, in which a student organization will only be eligible to claim\, at most\, $1\,000 per semester from SOFC until that group sends at least two of its authorized signers to one Bystander Intervention training facilitated by campus partners. This pilot policy will go in effect at the beginning of next semester\, Winter 2017.** Please only register for one event and mark this in your calendar. Registration is a commitment to attend. Not attending will cause a delay in allowing your organization to claim more than $1\,000. **
