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.

Located in the College Gallery\, the work-in-progress is on view to the Taubman community and the public.\nMark Lee is a principal and founding partner of the Los Angeles-based architecture firm Johnston Marklee. Since its establishment in 1998\, Johnston Marklee has been recognized nationally and internationally with over 30 major awards. A book on the work of the firm\, entitled HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE\, was published by Birkhauser in 2016. This followed a monograph on the firm’s work\, published in 2014 by 2G.\nPractice Sessions is part of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative\, which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five- year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design\, and where practice and the academy intersect.

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:44929-10012416@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:20170214T121614 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170222T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170222T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chicana Fotos: Nancy De Los Santos DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: Friday\, February 17 - April 14\, 2017\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 from 4 - 7 pm\, featuring a performance by Ballet Folklórico De Detroit at 6 pm.\nGallery Talk by Nancy De Los Santos and exhibition curator Maria Cotera: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 at 12 pm\, Walter P. Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

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.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

I will discuss how the process of superradiance\, combined with gravitational wave measurements\, makes black holes into nature's laboratories to search for new light bosons\, from axions to dark photons. When a bosonic particle's Compton wavelength is comparable to the horizon size of a black hole\, superradiance of these bosons into bound \"Bohr levels\" extracts energy and angular momentum from the black hole. The occupation number of the levels grows exponentially and the black hole spins down. One candidate for such an ultralight boson is the QCD axion with decay constant above the GUT scale. Current black hole spin measurements disfavor a factor of 30 (>100) in axion (vector) mass\; future measurements can provide evidence of a new boson. Particles transitioning between levels and annihilating to gravitons may produce thousands of monochromatic gravitational wave signals\, and turn LIGO into a particle detector.

When Past is Present: Courtiers\, Casters\, and Forgery in Late Medieval Japan DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the formation of socioeconomic networks across geographic\, social\, and temporal boundaries in sixteenth-century Japan. Low-ranking nobles in Kyoto conspired with their peers to produce forgeries of imperial documents and artisanal histories in order to establish connections with provincial metal caster associations. First\, it lays out the social and political networks initiated by courtiers in Kyoto\, whose connections to their neighborhood members\, the imperial Bureau of Archives\, and powerful warriors enabled them to produce and disseminate forged documents. It then assesses the geographic lengths these individuals traveled to negotiate directly with warriors and caster organizations in the provinces. Finally\, it considers the significance of these forgeries to metal casters themselves and their autonomy in socioeconomic networks. The legacies asserted in these documents reveal configurations of power in medieval Japan that are more complex\, egalitarian\, and in many ways traditional than have been asserted in conventional elite-centered interpretations of the sixteenth-century.

Instead\, failures to sustain self-regulation appear to be more related to waning motivations. One question that remains unanswered\, however\, is how these motivations wane and why\, if there is no fixed capacity\, sustaining self-regulation is often so difficult. In this talk I will discuss a new model of self-regulation failure that revolves around a process of motivated effort-allocation driven by people’s experiences of effort and fatigue. I will also discuss some preliminary research in my lab aimed at better understanding what affects these experiences and how that translates into more or less effective self-regulation.

At the same time\, evidence of issue based\, ideological polarization in the American electorate is\, at best\, contradictory. What explains growing antagonism between ordinary Democrats and Republicans? Mason argues that socio-political sorting on several dimensions including religion\, class\, ideology and race all combine to produce affective polarization. In essence that theory argues that the more consistent and overlapping identities\, the greater the affective polarization between Democrats and Republicans. We suspect the mechanism may be more narrow: Affective polarization is driven primarily by people’s standing schemas about the racial make-up of the two parties\, and their attitudes about these groups. We predict other identities\, like religion\, class and ideology\, are either less important or are downstream consequences of this schematic overlap between race and party. To test this theory\, we combine two sources of empirical evidence. First\, we use time series data from the ANES to demonstrate that the effect of racially explicit attitudes---racial resentment and support for government aid to blacks---on partisan affect has grown significantly during the last few decades. Second\, we develop an original measure of implicit cognitive linkages between social groups and parties based on the IAT. Using this measure in an online M-Turk survey\, we find that white respondents with racialized images of the Democratic party scored significantly higher on affective polarization. Contrary to our initial expectations\, however\, linking religious fundamentalists to the Republican party is also a powerful independent driver of affective polarization. Our findings have important implications for the understanding the phenomenon of affective polarization and\, more generally\, for the study of human cognition in politics.

From Rebels to Politicians: Explaining the Electoral Performance of Rebel Successor Parties with Evidence from the Balkans DESCRIPTION:Kelmendi’s lecture will discuss the post-conflict transformation of ethnic Albanian insurgent groups into political parties\, focusing in particular on empirical material from Kosovo. At the end of the armed conflict\, the leaders of these former rebel groups founded political parties and began participating in local or national elections. This lecture describes and compares these ethnic Albanian rebel successor parties and explains the variation in their political success. It does so by highlighting the ways in which wartime organizational structures of the rebel groups and the character of rebel-civilian ties shaped their post-conflict electoral performance.\n\nPellumb Kelmendi is an Emerging Democracies Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2016-17 academic year. He completed his Ph.D. in political science at Brown University. His research interests focus on civil conflict\, post-conflict institution building\, and party politics. Kelmendi’s dissertation analyzes the transformation of rebel organizations into political parties and their divergent performance in post-conflict elections. The core question that the dissertation asks is why\, in post-conflict settings\, some rebel successor parties enjoy wide electoral success whereas others remain marginalized or fail to emerge altogether. In his dissertation\, Kelmendi develops and tests a new theory of rebel party success that emphasizes the role of wartime rebel organizational cohesion and rebel ties with the local population. The dissertation project analyzes an original dataset with observations from across the world\, detailed case studies of rebel-to-party transformations in the Western Balkans\, and subnational data of rebel successor party support in Kosovo. \n \nAs a postdoctoral fellow\, Kelmendi will be working on a book manuscript that explains why some rebel organizations transform into successful political parties whereas others do not. Prior to beginning his Ph.D. at Brown University\, he received an M.Phil. in development studies from the University of Cambridge and a B.A. in political science from the University of Chicago.

We will host the discussion a day (02/22) before the Complexity and the Law Workshop (02/23). \n\n The journal article is Daria Roithmayr: ``Cat and Mouse: A Dynamic Analysis of Predatory Payday Lending\" and avaliable at https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers2.cfm?abstract_id=2808718 . See abstract below.\n\nJournal Abstract:\nLegal actors and the regulators who pursue them often engage in a co-evolutionary game of cat and mouse\, as each innovates to out-compete the other. Predatory payday lenders are a prime example of this co-evolutionary arms race. Lenders have discovered increasingly creative ways to escape state regulation\, like partnering with Indian tribes to claim immunity from state jurisdiction. In turn\, regulators continually adapt their regulation to retarget the latest innovation. A regulator trying to keep pace with legal actors faces a tradeoff: adapting more frequently reduces the prohibited behavior\, but increases wasteful innovation for both regulator and lenders\, as each innovates in response to the other. In this paper\, we draw from dynamic mathematical models of drug resistance to map this process and to advise regulators on how to optimize their regulatory approach. We construct a simple mathematical model using coupled differential equations to describe the arms race of innovation between regulatory strategy and the strategy of the regulated\, in the context of payday lending. We conduct numerical approximations\, to analyze the evolutionary pathways of regulator and lender strategy over time\, and to map the tradeoff between the benefit from reducing predatory lending and the harm from having to return again and again to the drawing board to generate new regulation. We show that\, contrary to intuition\, a regulator should delay responding to an innovative payday lender strategy: we calculate an optimal response time that balances the need to respond slowly in order to minimize triggering repeated innovation\, and the need to respond quickly to minimize the number of predatory payday lenders. We also show that a regulator that is unable to adapt quickly should weaken the strength of its innovation\, in order to minimize further innovation by predatory lenders.

This lecture will aim to illustrate how classical statistical principles can be used to incorporate external auxiliary information available from large data sources in improving inference based on a current dataset of modest size. We will consider three examples from biomedical sciences. (1) A new assaying technology is replacing the current practice: we have a large dataset measured in the old platform and a small sub-sample measured on the new one\; can the old one help in boosting prediction of patient outcomes? (2) A new biomarker/predictor is being proposed to be added to an existing prediction model: while we have abundant published data on the established prediction model\, the new biomarker is available on a smaller sample\; can the existing information be used in a principled way to improve prediction under the new model? (3) We have a convenience sample of patients in a health system with access to their complete electronic medical records and genomewide scans: can we use knowledge from large population-based genome-wide association studies to learn and discover in this biased sample? Through these three examples\, I will try to identify a connecting theme advocating for timeless statistical principles and study designs to be applied to cutting-edge problems in biomedical sciences. I will try to convince you that one can gainfully combine information from massive non-probabilistic samples with a small well-designed study to perform a bias-variance tradeoff for efficient inference.

The eigenvalues of the upper-left N by N submatrices\, form what is called the GUE minor process. This largest-eigenvalue process is a canonical example of the Airy process which is connected to many other growth processes. We show that if one lets N vary over all natural numbers\, then the sequence of largest eigenvalues satisfies a `law of fractional logarithm'\, in analogy with the classical law of iterated logarithm for simple random walk. This GUE minor process is determinantal\, and our proof relies on this. However\, we reduce the problem to correlation and decorrelation estimates that must be made about the largest eigenvalues of pairs of GUE matrices\, which we hope is useful for other similar problems.\n\nThis is joint work with Ofer Zeitouni.

I will argue that the divergences are significant and may not be resolvable\, since they may result from disparate explanatory interests. These explanatory interests\, in turn\, pertain to distinct causal processes that are sometimes orthogonal to one another. Using a case study drawn from research on episodic memory in humans\, I will argue that there is evidence to suggest that psychological and neural taxonomies can crosscut each other\, i.e. that there can be a many-to-many mapping between psychological and neural categories. I will go on to diagnose some of the reasons for this mismatch\, which complicates the search for a “structure-to-function” mapping.

Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards have a vision for their band's sound: bold and elegant\, schooled in the lyrical rituals of folk music and backed by grooves that alternately inspire Cajun two-stepping and rock-n-roll hip swagger. Cellist Valerie Thompson (cello/vox)\, fiddler Jenna Moynihan (fiddle/vox)\, and bassist Natalie Bohrn (bass/vox) pair their sophisticated string arrangements and rich vocal harmonies to band leader Laura Cortese's poignant and powerful singing. Their new music has a wide emotional and sonic scope. The four voices are just as much instruments as they are providers for lyric and harmony. At times it's rowdy\, delicate\, or cinematic. The result is a sound that can start as a string band\, and morph into a string quartet\, female a cappella group\, or indie band\; all while staying honest and true to their identity as folk instrumentalists. Watching Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards on the main stage at a summer folk festival\, or tearing it up late night at a club\, you get the sense that they might snap some fiddle strings or punch a hole in the bass drum.
