SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blossom by Blossom: Elvish Ceramics

The story goes that sometime in the early 1700s\, a young Danish nobleman by the name of Einar Gyldenstjerne fell in love and married an Elvish woman named Gwyneira (surname unknown) who shared the family recipe for how to create hard-paste porcelain. The first items produced by the company are dated to 1715. Soltis’ porcelain flowers in this tradition are assembled meticulously petal by petal. She studied ceramics at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, Michigan and is interested in European history and fiction.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Cakeasaurus: Scenes from a Picture Book

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition-on-View\, \"Persistent Pasts: The Bicentennial Campus as Archive\"
DESCRIPTION:Combining historical research and analysis from the students in Sarah Rovang’s “The Curated Campus” graduate seminar and the design output of Steven Mankouche’s “What If” Options Studio\, Persistent Pasts reflects on the University of Michigan’s campus as a repository of memory. As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This exhibition is supported in part by a Bicentennial Activity Grant\, co-authored by Claire Zimmerman and Sarah Rovang. \n\nThis exhibition will be on view in the Taubman College Gallery through May 19. The college gallery is open Monday - Friday\, 9am - 5pm. \n\nThere will be an presentation and panel on Friday\, April 7 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by a reception in the college gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Here and There
DESCRIPTION:\"Here and There\"  looks at the problems of extreme poverty\, and includes artist Tracey Snelling's signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks.\" New works--created on campus during her three-week residency--will examine these issues in the US\, how they relate to location and\, at times\, the disenfranchisement of large groups of people for the sake of big business\, political clout\, and power. \n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nTo meet artist Tracey Snelling evokes the sensation of a strong willed breeze determined to open a backyard door. \n\nAs an artist and person\, she is down to earth\, direct\, contemporary\, and moving through it all with volition. \n\nSnelling’s artistic practice originally focused on photography as a medium\, but soon evolved to include her construction of sculptures based upon cities and towns\, strip malls and urban housing. \n\nShe refers to her three dimensional work as sculptural rather than diorama or model making because she isn’t particularly interested in the exact rendering of location\, or the contextualization of place. Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:“Play” Matters
DESCRIPTION:During the last 20 years\, the ability to play has been added as a harbinger of good mental health along with the ability to work and love. \n\nThis course\, for those 50 and over will focus on some of the ingredients of play. What is meaningful play? How does playfulness grow\, change or decline over the decades? How does play carry over from childhood to our later decades? What happens when play is impeded? Hopefully our discussions will help us appreciate the potential player within us. \n\nInstructor Morton Chethik is an Emeritus Professor\, Dept. of Psychiatry at UM\, and has written about the role of play in our development.  The course will meet for 90 minutes on Wednesdays from April 19 through May 17.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Crucial Effects of Saxion Cosmology on Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:In supersymmetry\, the lightest supersymmetric particles (LSP) are well-motivated candidatesfor dark matter. When the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is evoked to solve the strong CP problem\, the axion becomes another viable candidate. The axion's scalar superpartner\, the saxion\, however significantly changes the conventional picture. During inflation\, a potential for saxions is induced and displaces the saxion field value away from the vev today. This results in a large saxion condensate that dominates the energy density of the Universe. The saxion subsequently decays to the particles in the thermal bath\, generating a large amount of entropy and diluting the dark matter abundance. We focus on the cases where dark matter is the axion from the misalignment mechanism\, or the axino/gravitino LSP that arises from the thermal scattering and Freeze-In processes. The former case allows the PQ symmetry and grand unification to be of the same origin\, whereas the latter case allows a high reheat temperature after inflation\, solving the axino/graviton problems. We will also discuss interesting phenomenology for this class of theories\, e.g. dark radiation and displaced vertices at colliders.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Revolutionary Collection of Data on Americans: the LIFE-M project
DESCRIPTION:ISR Perspectives is excited to host economist Martha Bailey – award-winning researcher\, teacher\, and author – who will speak about her groundbreaking NSF-funded work creating the Longitudinal Intergenerational Family Electronic Micro-Database (LIFE-M).\n\nUsing millions of US vital records on Americans born 1880-1930\, the LIFE-M links health\, family structure\, and demographic and economic characteristics from birth to death for four generations of Americans.\n\nThis revolutionary collection of data will allow unprecedented analyses of how American families have changed across the 20th century as the economy and society have evolved. David Lam calls LIFE-M “one of the most valuable new social science resources to come along in decades.”\n\nSelected for support under NSF's Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering activity for its considerable intellectual and broad societal value\, Bailey’s LIFE-M project is funded through August 2020.\n\nBIO:\nMartha Bailey is a Research Associate Professor at the Michigan Population Studies Center\, an NBER Faculty Research Fellow\, and an Associate Professor of Economics. Her research uses the long-run perspective of economic history to examine issues in labor economics\, demography\, and health in the US.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special Events
DESCRIPTION:The moduli space M_{0\,n} parametrizes all ways of labelling n distinct points on the Riemann sphere P^1\, up to change of coordinates by Mobius transformations. 'Hurwitz correspondences' are a class of multivalued maps (similar to the 'square root' map on the set of complex numbers) from M_{0\,n} to itself. They arise in topology and Teichmuller theory by works of Thurston and Koch. I will introduce both M_{0\,n} and Hurwitz correspondences\, and talk about the latter from the point of view of complex dynamics.  Speaker(s): Rohini Ramadas (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special Events
DESCRIPTION:Through 3 general points and 6 general lines in P^3\, there are exactly 190 twisted cubics\; 190 is a Gromov-Witten invariant of P^3. I will introduce Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth complex projective variety X\, and show how an equivariant structure on a X can help us compute its Gromov-Witten invariants. In the case when X is a toric variety\, Kontsevich used this method to compute any Gromov-Witten invariant of X. Givental and Lian-Liu-Yau used Kontsevich's strategy to prove a mirror theorem\, which states that Gromov-Witten invariants of X have an interesting rigid structure predicted by physicists. I will discuss the difficulties that arise when X is not toric. The subject of my thesis is the nontoric orbifold X=Sym^d(P^r)\, the symmetric product of projective space. By studying the equivariant geometry of Sym^d(P^r)  I extend the results of Kontsevich to Sym^d(P^r)\, and prove a mirror theorem for Sym^d(P^r).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Spiked random matrix models arise when a matrix of interest (e.g. a sample covariance matrix) is corrupted by noise. In this context\, one would like to understand the largest eigenvalues of the matrix (and the corresponding eigenvectors) to perform a principal component analysis. We will discuss the regime in which the random perturbation is of the same size (in the appropriate sense) as the original matrix\, on the example of beta Gaussian random matrix ensembles with one spike. In this case\, the process of largest eigenvalues can be described by a functional of a reflected Brownian motion. This is joint work with Pierre Yves Gaudreau Lamarre. \n\n\n Speaker(s): Misha Shkolnikov (Princeton)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroeconomics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nNo region of the United States fared worse over the postwar period than the “Rust Belt\,” the heavy manufacturing region bordering the Great Lakes. This paper hypothesizes that the Rust Belt declined in large part due to the persistent labor market conflict which was prevalent throughout the Rust Belt’s main industries. We formalize this thesis in a two-region dynamic general equilibrium model in which labor market conflict leads to a hold-up problem in the Rust Belt that reduces investment and productivity growth and leads employment to move from the Rust Belt to the rest of the country. Quantitatively\, the model accounts for much of the large secular decline in the Rust Belt’s employment share before the 1980s\, and its relative stabilization since then\, once labor conflict decreased. The model also includes a foreign sector to assess the alternative hypothesis that higher imports were behind the Rust Belt’s decline. This hypothesis is inconsistent with the timing of the Rust Belt’s decline.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Toward a Civic Technoscience: Public Tools for Environmental Health Research
DESCRIPTION:Talk Abstract: Human experience is the frontline of emerging environmental health problems. This talk discusses how we can more successfully build a research infrastructure for this frontline of experience\, through reducing the cost of research tools\, developing open source collaborative software for research such as publiclab.org (link is external) and creating community-academic partnerships. Through analyzing a community based project using photographic paper to map hydrogen sulfide\, a neurotoxic gas\, associated with natural gas and oil extraction\, this talk explores how we can collaboratively redesign our research and advocacy to support the systematic grassroots study of industrial infrastructure.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Sara Wylie (link is external) seeks to develop new modes of studying and intervening in large-scale social issues such endocrine disrupting chemicals through a fusion of social scientific\, scientific and art/design practices. Dr. Wylie is director of Toxics and Health Research for Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science\, and has a joint appointment between health sciences and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology as part of Northeastern’s Social Science and Environmental Health Research Institute. She completed her PhD in MIT’s History\, Anthropology\, Science\, Technology and Society (HASTS) Program in 2011. Her dissertation\, entitled “Corporate Bodies and Chemical Bonds: an STS analysis of the American Natural Gas Industry\,” involved ethnographic study with The Endocrine Disruption Exchange\, a non-profit founded by Theo Colborn\, lead author of Our Stolen Future\, whose independent research on chemicals used in natural gas extraction influenced national discussions of hydraulic fracturing. Ethnographic study with this organization and communities experiencing natural gas extraction led her to develop web-based tools to help communities and experts across the country study and hold extractive industries accountable for their social and environmental impacts. This project called ExtrAct was developed in collaboration with artist and technologist Chris Csikszentmihalyi\, in MIT’s Center for Civic Media. Following her interest in digital media\, Wylie taught classes on practicing social science critique of science and technology through art and design and co-lead a research group with Jeff Warren on Environmental Justice in Rhode Island School of Design’s (RISD)\, Digital+Media Department. In 2011 Wylie co-founded a non-profit dedicated to developing open source\, Do-It-Yourself tools for community based environmental health research\, Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (PLOTS-publiclaboratory.org). PLOTS won a Knight Foundation’s News Challenge Grant in the summer of 2011.\n\nCo-sponsors: Environmental Health Sciences and Center for Research on Ethnicity\, Culture & Health (CRECH) (link is external)\n\n \nhttps://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2017/toward-civic-technoscience

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Doug Miro: A Writer’s View
DESCRIPTION:Special Event: Wednesday\, April 19\, 7pm at MOCAD\n4454 Woodward Ave\, Detroit\n\nScreenwriter and Michigan native Doug Miro\, with longtime collaborator Carlo Bernard\, has written screenplays for Harvey Weinstein\, Steven Spielberg\, and Jerry Bruckheimer during the span of his two-decade career. Currently\, he is a creator and executive producer of the Netflix series Narcos. Miro and Bernard began their careers working as assistants for film director\, screenwriter\, and producer Michael Mann. In that role\, the pair benefitted from “reading every script in town\,” and wrote Motor City\, a film noir set in Detroit. The film was purchased by George Clooney’s production company\, and while never produced\, became an “industry calling card” that catapulted their careers. Miro and Bernard’s screenplays include The Great Raid (2005)\, The Uninvited (2009)\, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)\, Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010)\, and Tintin (2011). Miro is a graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts and Stanford University.\n\nIn partnership with MOCAD - Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
