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.

Cross\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor Emeritus\, Michigan State University and member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe\, is a shawl maker and beadwork artist. 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:44929-10012403@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:20170126T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170209T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170209T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Design & Production Portfolio Review Exhibition DESCRIPTION:This exhibition runs Monday through Friday 10:00 AM-6:00 PM and Sunday 1:00-5:00 PM.\n\nCome see the wide range of work presented by our advanced design & production students.

DESCRIPTION:Michael G. Ford is CEO of the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan (RTA). RTA was created in 2012 to coordinate and plan the development of mass transit in the four-county region. He previously served as CEO of the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority. He began his career with the Greyhound Bus 
Company and also was Director of Transportation Operations for TriMet\, the Portland\, 
Oregon area mass transit service. \n\nSoutheast Michigan is the only major metropolitan area in the country without a true regional transit system. This talk will describe a twenty-year plan developed by the Regional Transit Authority for a multi-modal transportation system covering Wayne\, Macomb\, Oakland\, and Washtenaw counties. The system includes rapid transit bus (similar to light-rail\, but on regular wheels)\, commuter rail\, and airport express service. The talk will also cover future steps to seek voter millage approval (the plan was narrowly defeated in the 
November 2016 election) and other funding mechanisms.\n\nThis is the last of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Transportation: Don’t Turn in Your Car Keys Yet! The next lecture series starts February 16\, 2017. The title is The Library – Civilization’s Treasure House of Knowledge.

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.

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.

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.

But what makes it so special? One hallmark of coevolution is the dynamic “push-and-pull” of reciprocal adaptation\, for example\, when parasites push hosts to evolve resistance and resistant hosts pull their parasites to cope. I will present work with a digital host-parasite system that highlights the necessity of this reciprocal process for the evolution of complex traits. I will also discuss how we’ve begun testing if reciprocity is responsible for host diversification using custom continuous microbial culture devices. Together\, these experiments are directly testing the consequences of feedback on the dynamics of adaptation.

Drawing on research on role incongruity\, stereotypes and identity management\, we develop a new measure\, Perceived Identity Conflict (PIC) to assesses the perceived level of conflict Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump psychologically experience in managing their gender and leadership identities. Using this measure\, we found that increased PIC is related to negative leadership perceptions for Hillary Clinton (Study 1). However\, this relationship was significantly stronger for perceptions of Hillary Clinton than perceptions of Donald Trump. This was true controlling for perceivers’ political orientation\, gender\, and other demographic variables (Study 2 &\; 3). Our studies suggest that Clinton was more disadvantaged by PIC than was Trump. Higher levels of PIC may make salient stereotypes of women as unfit for leadership.

He calls them \"observational films\" not only because they are inspired by the tradition of observational cinema\, but also because he believes in the power of observation. When he says \"observation\" in this context\, he means two things. Firstly\, as a filmmaker he closely looks at the reality in front of him and makes films according to his observations and discoveries\, not based on the assumptions and preconceptions he had before he shot the film. Secondly\, he encourages the viewers to observe the film actively with their own eyes and minds. In order to realize these two aspects\, he came up with \"Ten Commandments\" for him to follow. They are: \n \n 1 No research. \n 2 No meetings with subjects. \n 3 No scripts. \n 4 Roll the camera yourself. \n 5 Shoot as long as possible. \n 6 Cover small areas deeply. \n 7 Do not set up a theme or goal before editing. \n 8 No narration\, title\, or music. \n 9 Use long takes. \n 10 Pay for the production yourself. \n \nIn this lecture\, Soda will explain how and why he takes this particular approach to documentary filmmaking. \n \nKazuhiro Soda is a Peabody Award-winning filmmaker and a Toyota Visiting Professor at the Center for Japanese Studies\, University of Michigan. His films have been screened at such events as Berlin International Film Festival\, Venice International Film Festival\, Locarno International Film Festival\, Busan International Film Festival\, among others\, winning numerous awards. His filmography includes \"Campaign\" (2007)\, \"Mental\" (2008)\, \"Peace\" (2010)\, \"Theatre 1\" (2012)\, \"Theatre 2\" (2012)\, \"Campaign 2\" (2013)\, and \"Oyster Factory\" (2015). He is also the author of seven books published in Japan.

This gives the first known finiteness result in degree 3 or above.

This presentation will begin with fundamental studies of single reaction steps that involve transfer of one proton and one electron. Some of these reactions ‘look like’ transfer of a hydrogen atom\, while in other reactions the electron and proton are quite separated in the reactants or products. The rate constants for many of these reactions\, both organic and transition metal reactions\, can be understood using a version of Marcus Theory. These PCET concepts are being used to develop and understand new electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction\, and to provide new insights into the redox reaction chemistry of nanoscale oxide materials. \nJames Mayer (Yale University) UID:30415-3452061@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30415 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170120T121921 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170209T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170209T180000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Community Wise!

The traditional approach in community ecology is based on the premise that predictions can be made by treating a species as a homogenous entity. However\, no population is truly homogenous and individuals within a species often vary considerably in their ecology. By far the largest source of this functional variation between individuals stems from differences in size and ontogenetic stage. The unresolved question is how this functional variation within species affects the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems. Using a combination of experiments and theoretical studies I demonstrate that these changes in the ecology of individuals during their development have important consequences on the dynamic\, structure and functioning of entire ecosystems and how they respond to natural or anthropogenic disturbances.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m. UID:36324-5562275@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36324 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170206T123138 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170209T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170209T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Law & Economics: The Effect of Police Slowdowns on Traffic Safety DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThough police strikes have been well studied\, there are almost no articles written on the public safety consequences of police work slowdowns— labor actions where police officers reduce their ticket-writing and/or arrest productivity for a temporary period. This article fills the current void by presenting evidence on the 1997 New York City Police Department work slowdown\, to my knowledge the longest documented police slowdown in US history. Drawing on several\, originally-collected data sources from the NYPD and other city agencies\, the article assesses the impact of the slowdown on ticket enforcement\, arrest enforcement\, and crime. The findings indicate that\, at least in the context of contract-motivated slowdowns where the union may be motivated to garner public support for pay increases\, the effects on public safety may be limited. Specifically\, in the case of the 1997 slowdown\, ticket-writing for all categories of tickets fell dramatically but arrest enforcement for all types of serious crime stayed the same or increased. Accordingly\, the crime effects were mostly concentrated in the area of minor criminal disorder (misdemeanors and violations). Only two categories of serious crime (larcenies and assaults) were affected and those crime increases were minimal.

In addition to album covers and packaging\, his work encompasses a wide range of areas including activism and cultural design. He is known for his collaborations with the anti-advertising collective Adbusters\, the Occupy movement\, Banksy\, and Damien Hirst. His font ‘Mason’ was one of the first digital typefaces acquired by MoMA in 2013. He was given a major retrospective at the Design Museum\, London\, in 2007 and a touring exhibition that has been to over 10 countries. Barnbrook says\, “I still believe in the utopian goal of design\, to make people’s lives better\, whether that is through facilitating direct political action or simply helping people appreciate the beauty and mind opening philosophy of music. Working with Bowie and Occupy were both worthwhile and important as both have the possibility to change society.”\n\nIn partnership with the Detroit Creative Corridor Center\, stewards of the UNESCO City of Design designation.

While in graduate school\, I developed new catalysts for carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. At UNC I served on the board of UNC WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) for two years. During my tenure on the board\, I helped to organize a day-long summit on women in science\, a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon to create visibility for women in STEM\, and a monthly discussion meeting where we created a safe space to discuss topics such as intersectionality\, microagression\, and mentoring. I started my postdoc in September in the lab of Prof. Melanie Sanford and joined UM AWIS (Association for Women in Science) shortly after. I plan on pursuing a career in academia after my postdoc is finished.Dr. Jennifer Lachoweic:PhD in Genome Sciences from the University of Washington\, SeattleJen joined the Wittkopp lab in October 2014 after completing her PhD under the guidance of Christine Queitsch at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, during which she studied molecular mechanisms that control robustness to genetic perturbations and noise. Her projects in the Wittkopp lab will examine the evolution of gene expression using flies as a model.Dr. Andrea Hodgins-Davis:PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale UniversityAndrea joined the Wittkopp lab in May 2014 after completing her PhD at Yale University\, where she worked with Jeff Townsend in the Dept of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology combining empirical and theoretical approaches to study the evolution of genome-wide gene expression in budding yeast across an environmental gradient. In the Wittkopp lab\, Andrea will study the evolvability of gene expression in yeast.Dr. Jessica Anand:PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of MichiganMy name is Jess Anand\, my work focuses developing mixed efficacy opioid ligands as a means of making safer more effective analgesics.I am currently a postdoc in the Pharmacology lab\, but started my career as a medicinal chemist. I have followed my project from design and synthesis of novel opioid compound through in vitro characterization\, and am currently working on pre-clinical in vivo experiments with the same compounds. I feel that work/life balance is important and spend a lot of my free time gardening\, cooking\, playing with my dog\, and eating good food with my spouse.Dr. Kendra Murray:PhD in Geosciences from the University of Arizona: \"Interpreting low-temperature thermochronology in magmatic terranes: Modeling and case studies from the Colorado Plateau\"I am a geologist who uses the chemistry of rocks to study the processes that build and shape mountain ranges in deep time. I moved to Michigan in the summer of 2016—a return to the northern tier of the US after 8 sunny years in southern Arizona during graduate school. I'm looking for a faculty job in academia\, preferably at a liberal arts college\, but am considering alternative career paths as a part of navigating the job market.Dr. Nicole BellefontainePhD in Neuroscience\, University of Lille2 (France)Currently 4th year research fellow in the Molecular and Integrative Physiology Department. I am interested in how metabolism controls puberty and fertility in mammals. I study these processes by examining molecular and genetic pathways within specific areas of the brain known to govern both metabolism and reproduction. I took a convoluted route to get here\, I did my undergraduate degree in psychology at McMaster University in Hamilton\, Ontario\, my Master's degree in psychology at Concordia University in Montreal\, my PhD in neuroscience at the University of Lille 2 in France\, and now I'm currently a senior postdoctoral fellow in the physiology department.Dr. Aqila AhmedPhD from Wayne State UniversityI studied role of DNA repair in aging phenotype of Down syndrome in Diane Cableof lab at Wayne State. I’m currently working on Notch signaling in prostate cancer in Evan Keller lab. I hope to share the journey of a single parent in science and talk about pros and cons of a career in science for those with children . I had a great mentor who understood my situation and pushed me to continue even when i felt like giving up.

She is also the poet I translate\, and my manuscript has been accepted for publication at Lost Horse Press as part of their forth-coming series on contemporary Ukrainian poetry. In light of this good news\, I am excited to present Iryna's poetry to our colleagues here and also take the opportunity to discuss the contemporary Ukrainian poetry scene and translation\, in general.\n \nHaley Laurila: “Forgetting to Remember: Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone as Memorial Space.” \nThis paper will look at the three primary memorials located within the exclusion zone and examine the ways in which they interact with each other in this space of memory to produce a singular narrative of this disaster\, one of containment. This narrative of containment is predicated on forgetting certain aspects of the disaster’s consequences\, and because of this\, does not reflect the contemporary discussions and current concerns facing the communities most affected by this catastrophe. Additionally\, owing to the exclusion zone’s unique status as a highly-regulated museum of sorts\, I will look at the role that tourism plays in the ways in which the memory of Chernobyl is communicated.\n \nThis will be a colloquium in our usual format\, starting with a light supper followed by the presentations and open-ended discussion.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact Carolyn Dymond (dymond@umich.edu or 734.764.5355) at least 4 days in advance of this event.

In her ‘90s gay-rights classic\, “Radical\,” she sang\, “I’m not being radical when I kiss you/ And I don’t love you to make a point.” The intimacy with which she expressed her lesbian identity helped others through their own difficult journey to openness. “To me\, a song is like a conversation with a friend\,” she says. “Like when you’re sharing stories with friends\, there’s always a lot of ‘Yeah\, yeah\, me\, too.’ There’s a kind of voice you use when you talk to someone you’re comfortable with. That’s the voice I look for in my songs.” In the mid-'90s\, Catie was a budding newcomer in a Boston folk scene that was producing stars like Dar Williams and Tracy Chapman. In 1995\, she lost her glasses and\, needing money for new ones\, took a gig at New York’s Bottom Line. She was discovered and signed by EMI/Guardian Records\, joining Joan Baez\, Jimmy Webb\, and the Nields. Perhaps too quickly\, she skyrocketed to major-label star. “They reminded me that\, first and foremost\, I was a product\,” she says. “My A&R guy actually told me\, ‘You need to learn to be more of a diva\,’ because I was dressing casually and going out to talk to fans after shows. They were trying to build me into something larger than life. It wasn’t a perfect fit that way.” But it did launch her career. She moved on to successful tenures at Rykodisc\, Vanguard and Compass. What sustains her long career\, however\, is the concert stage. Club Passim’s Matt Smith says\, “She doesn’t bother following trends\; she’s true to herself but continues to push the boundary of what she does. And she always brings the audience along for the ride.” And consider this from Mary Chapin Carpenter: “Catie takes something that’s very difficult\, that takes enormous skill and natural gifts\, and makes it look easy. I know it takes years and years to feel that comfortable on a stage\, to know yourself and how to bring people in like she can. You feel like you’re being transported\, that you know her\, and that’s she’s given you something of herself.” UID:34943-5046444@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34943 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170112T181541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170209T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Orpheus Singers DESCRIPTION:Jerry Blackstone\, music director\, graduate choral conductors.\n\nThis concert of Bach Cantatas features Cantata 78\, Jesu der du meine Seele\; Cantata 106\, Gottes Zeit ist de allerbeste Zeit\; and Cantata 21\, Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis.
