Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696906@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593371@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

Cells respond to these mechanical signals through a poorly understood process called mechanotransduction. A clearer understanding of this process will lead to improved methods for manipulating cell behavior in engineered tissues and increased understanding of mechanosensitive disease states\, such as atherosclerosis and cancer. As mechanotransduction is likely due to force-induced conformation changes in load-bearing proteins\, we develop and use protein-based biosensors that exhibit force-dependent changes in the color of emitted light. This technology enables dynamic measurements of mechanical forces at the molecular level that are innately compatible with concepts and approaches common in molecular biology and biophysics\, uniquely enabling mechanistic studies of mechanotransduction. The current challenge is developing approaches that reveal the effects of mechanical loading on protein function in living cells. In this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to develop new assays for probing the relationship between protein load and the composition of key sub-cellular structures as well as the relationship between protein loading and protein dynamics. I will conclude with a discussion of how these techniques are changing our understanding of the mechanisms cells use to detect and respond to mechanical cues.\n\nDr. Brenton Hoffman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University where he is the principal investigator of the Cell and Molecular Mechanobiology Laboratory. He received a B.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University\, a PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania\, and completed Post-doctoral training in the Cardiovascular Research Center at the University of Virginia. Dr. Hoffman’s current research interests are in the areas of cell mechanics\, cell migration\, and mechanotransduction\, with a particular focus on the development of new tools and approaches for studying the effects of mechanical loading on protein function in living cells. His lab has received funding from the National Science Foundation\, the National Institutes of Health\, and the American Heart Association. He has been awarded a Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Award from the March of Dimes\, a Searle Scholar Award\, and NSF CAREER Award. He has also received the Klein Family Distinguished Teaching Award\, the highest award in Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering for teaching.

She studies authoritarian politics\, with a focus on democratization\, \nconflict\, and development. She has written four books on dictatorships and development\, and her work has appeared in multiple academic and policy-oriented journals.\n\nPopulism is spreading across the globe. Various causes lie behind the populist upsurge\, ranging from increased economic hardship to frustrations with \nglobalization. The consequences are worrisome. Today’s populist wave is paving the way for competitively elected leaders to subtly dismantle their countries’ democratic institutions. This form of transition to dictatorship in which incumbents slowly chip away at constraints on their leadership is also associated with the initiation of personalist rule\, the most pernicious form of autocracy. \n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

She enjoys giving her ceramics new life by taking influence from all kinds of organisms from nature\, such as sea and botanical creatures that inspire her. Konno says she has no control over the birth of her artworks\, they \"just seem to materialize from nowhere.\" Each piece that she creates is an embodiment of her sense of excitement\, energy\, and anticipation for life as she introduces guests to her \"mysterious garden.\"\n\nTomoko Konno (b. 1967) lives in the ancient pottery town of Tokoname while maintaining a studio in Bali\, Indonesia. In her Bali workshop\, art forms resemble exotic plants or sea creatures made in colored porcelain that she exhibits in her installation shows. Konno says that she wishes to express the power of living things and that her ideas “just seem to materialize from nowhere.” Konno is one of a prominent new generation of female ceramicists working in Japan today. The distinct features in her work are the fresh colors\, meticulous detailing\, and the dynamic flow created with the nerikomi technique. Konno is partial to the nerikomi technique\, which she feels is akin to painting with clay in which the medium itself becomes an instrument for painting. She prefers this technique to using brushes for embellishing surfaces\, feeling that the lines created by nerikomi are more natural and allow Konno to express her energy and zest for life. Through use of this technique\, Konno realizes the flower looking creatures\, making them appear more realistic and imaginative and drawing viewers into her mysterious flower garden. While participating in a number of international residency programs\, Konno’s work has been housed at collectors’ homes internationally\, and a number of museum collections including the Detroit Institute of Arts and Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum\, Japan.\n\nThis event is cosponsored by the Detroit Institute of Art.

Relativity and quantum mechanics totally revolutionized the way we describe matter and energy and led to astonishing discoveries and technological advances. In 1900\, the electron had just been discovered and the structure of the atom was just being probed. By 2000\, we could “see” atoms\, use general relativity to correct atomic clocks for use in the GPS system\, produce Bose-Einstein condensates at nano-Kelvin\, detect signatures of the big bang\, and countless other scientific marvels without parallel in human history. But are the paradigms of 20th century physics still robust and useful for the challenges of the 21st century? As Neils Bohr famously said “Prediction is very difficult\, especially if it’s about the future.” (sometimes wrongly attributed to Yogi Bera) so I will avoid that trap to the degree possible. Instead\, I will ruminate about the amazing progress in physics in the past and suggest some of the big challenges that lie ahead in which complexity may play an important role.

What is Your Evidence? A Salafi Therapy in Contemporary Egypt DESCRIPTION:This article examines the notion of evidence (dalil) as it circulates in a revivalist religious therapy in contemporary Egypt to address current transformations of Islamic epistemologies\, especially in relation to modern science. It focuses on Qur’anic healing\, a Salafi-oriented therapy of spirit (jinn) exorcism that has become increasingly popular\, visible\, and debated in the public sphere beginning with the 1980s. By tracing the semantics and pragmatics of Qur’anic healing’s evidentiary regime\, I show that evidence is situated and crosses two domains of knowledge\, bringing together a Salafi episteme that foregrounds unmediated induction from the Qur’an and sunna and forms of reasoning and practice\, like empiricism and experimentation\, that pertain to modern science. In this manner\, evidence functions like a hinge notion that hierarchically links the religious and scientific domains\, giving precedence to the former over the latter. I argue that the centrality of evidence in this novel Salafi therapy is indicative of an epistemology that unites Islam and science under a wider theory of knowledge as transparent\, egalitarian\, and public. This discussion suggests new ways of understanding Salafism beyond common depictions as critical of nontextual sources and intolerant of modern formations.

Here\, we consider a two-pronged approach to manipulate the topology of a band insulator\, as well as topological order in a Mott insulator. We first develop a strategy to understand non-equilibrium Floquet-Bloch bands and topological transitions directly from ab initio calculations\, and illustrate for the example of WS2 that control of chiral edge modes can be dictated solely from symmetry principles and is not qualitatively sensitive to microscopic materials details. Second\, we extend these ideas to strongly correlated systems and show that pumping frustrated Mott insulators with circularly-polarized light can drive the effective spin system across a phase transition to a chiral spin liquid (CSL).The results presented suggest new avenues to marry dynamical symmetry breaking\, strong interactions\, and ab initio materials modelling\, to access elusive phase transitions that are not readily accessible in equilibrium.\n\nBIO: Professor Devereaux received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Oregon in 1988 & 1991\, respectively.

Here\, we consider a two-pronged approach to manipulate the topology of a band insulator\, as well as topological order in a Mott insulator. We first consider monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) [1]\, and show that their low-energy description as massive 2D relativistic fermions fails to hold for optical pumping. Instead\, the added complexity of a realistic materials description leads to a novel mechanism to optically induce topologically-protected chiral edge modes\, facilitating optically-switchable conduction channels that are insensitive to disorder. We develop a strategy to understand non-equilibrium Floquet-Bloch bands and topological transitions directly from ab initio calculations\, and illustrate for the example of WS2 that control of chiral edge modes can be dictated solely from symmetry principles and is not qualitatively sensitive to microscopic materials details. Second\, we extend these ideas to strongly correlated systems and show that pumping frustrated Mott insulators with circularly-polarized light can drive the effective spin system across a phase transition to a chiral spin liquid (CSL) [2]. We show that the transient time evolution of a Kagome lattice Hubbard model is well captured by an effective spin description\, where circular polarization promotes a staggered scalar spin chirality Si . (Sj x Sk) directly to the Hamiltonian level. We fingerprint the ensuing phase diagram and find a stable photo-induced CSL in proximity to the equilibrium ground state. The results presented suggest new avenues to marry dynamical symmetry breaking\, strong interactions\, and ab initio materials modelling\, to access elusive phase transitions that are not readily accessible in equilibrium.\n\nBio: Professor Devereaux received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Oregon in 1991\, M.S. from University of Oregon in 1988\, and B.S from New York University in 1986.\nProfessor Devereaux is currently the Director of the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES)\, the Associate Lab Director (ALD) for Photon Science\, a professor in the Photon Science Faculty at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University and a Senior Fellow of the Precourt Institute for Energy.

Thole\, Distinguished Professor and Department Head Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department\, Steady Thermal Aero Research Turbine (START) Lab\, Pennsylvania State University\n\nRecent technological advances in the field of additive manufacturing (AM)\, particularly with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS)\, have increased the potential for building gas turbine components with AM. Using DMLS for turbine components broadens the design space and allows for increasingly small and complex geometries to be fabricated with little increase in time or cost. Challenges arise when attempting to evaluate the advantages of DMLS for specific applications\, particularly because of how little is known regarding the effects of surface roughness. This presentation shows resulting pressure drop and heat transfer measurements of flow through as produced microchannels that have been manufactured using DMLS in an effort to better understand resulting roughness effects. Results presented also show the effect of build direction and channel shape on the roughness as well as build tolerances. Results showed significant augmentation of these parameters compared to smooth channels\, particularly with the friction factor for microchannels with small hydraulic diameters. However\, augmentation of Nusselt number did not increase proportionally.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDr. Karen A. Thole is a Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.

This presentation will highlight our current research in an effort to intervene cancer development through marriage of dendrimer chemistry\, nanotechnology and biomimicry\, focusing on 1) novel nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery and 2) biomimetic devices for effective detection and separation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs).  For targeted drug delivery\, we have developed a hybrid nanoparticle system integrating targeted poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers and poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) nanoparticles. This unique design allowed us to combine the advantages of each nanocarrier\, i.e.\, effective tissue penetration of dendrimers and prolonged circulation of PLA-PEG nanoparticles\, in a controlled manner\, providing a novel delivery platform.  Additionally\, we have also found that the tumor penetration behaviors of nanoparticles are highly dependent upon the size\, surface charge\, and rigidity of the nanoparticles. For CTC capturing\, we have developed a novel separation method using a biomimetic approach combined with nanotechnology. The biomimetic combination of dynamic rolling and multivalent binding via dendrimers significantly enhances the surface capture efficiency of target tumor cells by up to ~150 fold\, compared to a surface with a single cancer cell marker such as aEpCAM. Recent clinical data obtained using our device will be also presented\, which has shown the strong correlation between kinetic CTC profiles and clinical outcomes.  These results indicate that our CTC device with high sensitivity and specificity has great potential to be translated.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSeungpyo Hong (University of Wisconsin) UID:40500-8580300@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40500 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171004T152806 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communication & Media Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Mobile communication technologies are often hailed in the popular press and public policy as a means of “giving voice to the voiceless.” Behind the praise are determinist beliefs about technology as a gateway to opportunity\, voice as a metaphor for agency and self-representation\, and voicelessness as a stable and natural category. In this talk\, based on her new book Giving Voice: Mobile Communication\, Disability\, and Inequality (MIT Press\, 2017)\, Dr. Meryl Alper offers a new angle on these established critiques through a qualitative study of individuals with significant communication disabilities who use mobile devices for synthetic speech output. Alper finds that despite widespread claims to empowerment\, these tools are still subject to disempowering structural inequalities. Culture\, laws\, institutions\, and even technology itself can reinforce disparities among those with disabilities across class\, race\, ethnicity\, and gender. Alper argues that voice is an overused and imprecise metaphor in media and communication studies\, one that abstracts\, obscures\, and oversimplifies the human experience of disability. She will discuss implications of her research for our rapidly changing media ecology and political environment\, where the question is not only which voices get to speak\, but also who is thought to have a voice to speak with in the first place.

In an enforced disappearance people literally disappear\, from their loved ones and their community\, when state officials (or someone acting with state consent) grab them from the street or from their homes and then deny it\, or refuse to say where they are.Today it is recognized as a crime under international law. The film is a non-sequential account of personal narratives and reminiscences ruptured by violence. Made over nine years it explores memory as a mode of resistance\, constantly confronting and morphing - from the personal to political\, individual to collective. The film looks at the ways in which those affected by violence have no choice but to remember. \n \nThe screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker\, Iffat Fatima.\n\nIffat Fatima is an independent documentary filmmaker and researcher from Kashmir\, based in Delhi. Since 2006 she is working in Kashmir on the issue of enforced disappearances in collaboration with the Association Of Parents Of Disappeared Persons (APDP)\, a collective of the family members of the victims of enforced disappearances in Kashmir campaigning for information on the whereabouts of their disappeared kin. In 2011\, she made a short film Where Have You Hidden My New Crescent Moon on enforced disappearances. Her most recent film Khoon Diy Baarav (Blood Leaves its Trail) explores issues of violence and memory in Kashmir.\n\nShe very recently did the audio visual design for an exhibition Gold Dust Of Begum Sultans (19 April -10th May 2016) at The Indira Gandhi National Centre for The Arts \, New Delhi.

However\, host immunity to infections is an important source of variation among individuals and we need to take into account how this alters the way climate affects host-parasite interactions. Using a combination of long-term field observations\, field and laboratory manipulations and mathematical modeling of a rabbit-helminth system\, I explore whether heterogeneities in the host immune response exacerbate or suppress the impact of climate warming on the dynamics and persistence of two gastrointestinal helminths. Experimental trials and modelling simulations suggest that non-linearities in the system create complex interactions where climate impacts more heavily some hosts than others and at a specific time of the year.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/RYkxibeXeuE UID:42295-9593431@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42295 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171027T130428 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: At the Gates of the Temple: Tracing the Boundaries of Political Culture in Ptolemaic Egypt DESCRIPTION:At the gates of ancient Egyptian temples are traces of public space and transcultural politics that have gone misrecognized and neglected in histories of the Hellenistic age (ca. 330-30 BCE). Over three centuries of Ptolemaic rule\, temple gates\, and forecourts emerged as sites of political\, judicial and religious practice that mediated relations between a Macedonian Greek king and a multi-ethnic population\, between the court at Alexandria and the Egyptian countryside. Some practices\, such as the decree on the Rosetta stone\, were glocalizations of widespread genres of discourse\, evidence that Egyptian temples were not worlds apart\, but at a nexus of Mediterranean relations.\n\nIan Moyer is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. He completed his PhD at the University of Chicago\, and before coming to Michigan\, he taught in the History and Classics departments at Pomona College. He has also been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His first book\, entitled Egypt and the Limits of Hellenism\, explores the ancient history and modern historiography of cultural and intellectual encounters between ancient Greeks and Egyptians. This work ranges across the fields of history\, classics\, Egyptology\, and the history of religions\, and addresses problems of culture\, identity and agency in cross-cultural interactions. In his current work\, under the working title \"At the Gates of the Temple\,\" he is examining the gates and forecourt areas of Egyptian temples in the Ptolemaic period as sites of cultural and political mediation and the construction of authority. Together with Adam Lecznar and Heidi Morse\, he is also editing a volume entitled Classicisms in the Black Atlantic\, a collection of essays on the reception and (re)construction of the \"classical\" in the Black Atlantic.\n\nThis lecture is free and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

The trial\, the largest such in the world\, was highly successful at reducing depression. We relocated mothers six years after the end of the intervention to evaluate its long run effects. We find that the intervention increased women's financial empowerment\, increasing their control over household spending\, and that it increased both time- and money-intensive parental investments\, with increases in investments tending to favor girls. We also detect improvements in parenting style among mothers of girls.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings. \n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

I. Lenin's 'The State and Revolution': A Review of an Important Marxist Theoretical Work DESCRIPTION:In anticipation of the upcoming campus event to mark the centenary of the 1917 Russian Revolution (learn more about it here: Why Study the Russian Revolution?)\, the IYSSE will hold a discussion this week on VI Lenin’s political tract The State and Revolution. We will use the recent online lecture From the July Days to the Kornilov Coup: Lenin’s The State and Revolution hosted by the World Socialist Web Site for the discussion. We ask students and youth to listen to the lecture and attend our meeting this Thursday. At the meeting we will collectively try to answer the following questions: What are Marx and Engels’ main conceptions of the state\, and the tasks of the proletarian revolution in relation to the state?What are some of the ways in which the Marxist conceptions of the state have been distorted or rejected? For example by Bernstein\, by Kautsky\, by the Mensheviks?Why did Lenin return to the basics of Marxism on the question of the state after the July Days?How would you answer those who claim the state exists as a means for the reconciliation of the class struggle?Has the state always existed?In what ways does this tract relate to modern political and social developments? For instance in the ongoing events in Catalonia\, or with the increase in police violence in the United States? We will also discuss our plans to promote the November 8 lecture \"Why Study the Russian Revolution?  by WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North. This lecture will take place exactly 100 years and one day after the October insurrection\, led by the Bolshevik Party. We hope you will take part in these critical and timely meetings.

Can those restrictions be justified? \n \nOn one hand\, immigration restrictions seem to impinge on individual liberty. Greater freedom of movement will also make potential immigrants better off. On the other hand\, open-border policies might strain civil society and harm the interests of certain groups of citizens (especially the poor). They are also politically unpopular in democratic countries. Modern political reality further raises the issue of partial border enforcement\, as is presently the case in the U.S. Regardless of whether current immigration restrictions are justified\, is there injustice in selectively enforcing immigration laws? \n \nThe panelists will defend very different answers to these questions. Reihan Salam argues from a conservative perspective that open-border policies will strain important social and political institutions\, in part by dramatically increasing inequality. Michael Huemer argues for the libertarian position against restrictions on immigration on grounds of justice and liberty. And Hrishikesh Joshi contends\, from classical liberal starting points\, that partial border enforcement is both unjust and bad public policy. \n \nThe panel will end with a Q&A session\, and refreshments will be served!

Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art.\n\nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s. It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions. Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004. \n\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art. Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World. She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.\n\nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \n\nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017).
