SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Sino-American Relations and \"Ping-Pong Diplomacy\,\" 1971-1972 (Sept.15-Dec. 22\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:During the early 1970s\, the two large countries at either end of the Pacific shaped the restless world in their own ways. China was moving full steam ahead on the Cultural Revolution. The U.S. was grappling with a series of domestic and international problems including the Vietnam War. Mired in ideological opposition\, U.S.-China relations had been hostile since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Getting these Cold War foes to reconnect with each other looked like a mission impossible. Curiously\, Ping-Pong emerged to play an important role in bringing U.S.-China relations to rapprochement in the early 1970s and finally to normalization in 1979. \n\nThe historically significant Ping-Pong exchanges between China and the U.S. held in 1971 and 1972\, which came to be called “Ping-Pong Diplomacy” (乒乓外交 pingpang waijiao) in English\, were nicknamed xiaoqiu zhuandong daqiu 小球转动大球 (small ball spins the big globe) in Chinese. Unbeknownst to many\, Michigan played a key role in the 1972 exchanges. \n\nFeaturing an authentic Ping-Pong-table-sized panel that details highlights of these exchanges\, this exhibition commemorates the 45th anniversary of the Chinese Table Tennis Delegation’s historic visit to the U.S. in 1972\, especially to Ann Arbor and the U-M. Curated by Chinese Studies Librarian Liangyu Fu\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, the Confucius Institute\, and the Asia Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Area Brown Bag -
DESCRIPTION:PETAL GROWER\nTitle: The power of positivity: Body appreciation and sexual agency amount young adult women\n\nAbstract: Although numerous studies demonstrate associations between negative body image and sexual health\, recent research has emphasized studying the positive aspects of these constructs. Despite the emergence of this new area of research\, few studies have examined the association between body appreciation and more holistic measures of sexual agency. The current study tested a direct effects model assessing the predictive power of body appreciation on sexual agency among a national sample of 497 women aged 18-40 (M age = 31.02\; 76% White). This study also examined whether body appreciation predicts sexual agency above and beyond well-established measures of self-objectification and whether chronological age moderated these associations. Regression results demonstrated that high levels of body appreciation predicted high levels of condom use self-efficacy\, sexual satisfaction\, sexual assertiveness\, and feelings of entitlement to sexual pleasure and low levels of body image self-consciousness during intimacy. These findings emerged even when both self-objectification and body appreciation were entered simultaneously into the model. Chronological age did not moderate any of the observed associations between objectification or body appreciation and sexual agency\, with one exception. Older women engaged in more body surveillance than younger women\, which in turn predicted higher levels of body image self-consciousness for these women. The results of this study suggest body appreciation is a unique construct apart from negative body image\, and highlight the importance of studying how body appreciation fosters women’s sense of sexual agency. \n\nBio: Petal Grower is currently a third year PhD candidate in Developmental Psychology. She received a B.A. in Psychology and a B.S. in Human Development at the State University of New York at Binghamton. Currently\, her work examines the associations between body image and young women’s sexual agency\, with additional interest in media and self-objectification. Moving forward\, she plans to study the reciprocal relations between  pubertal timing and tempo with sexualized media exposure and self-sexualization under the Developmental Training Grant.\n\nBERENICE CASTILLO\nTitle:  Adolescence: A potential 'sensitive period' for risk and protective factors\n\nAbstract: Adolescent substance use is a major public health concern in the US. Alcohol and marijuana are the two most common substances used by adolescents.  While scholars have identified risk and protective factors associated with adolescent substance use behavior\, little is known about potential variation in how risk and protective factors relate to adolescent substance use at different ages. For my 619 project\, I used a nationally representative sample of 8th and 10th graders from the Monitoring the Future project to address two aims: first to examine how an array of risk and protective factors relate\, collectively\, with adolescent binge drinking and marijuana use\, and second\, to apply a developmental perspective to adolescent substance use and examine whether the relationships of risk and protective factors of binge drinking and marijuana use differ between 8th and 10th graders. The results of my 619 suggest that risk and protective factors\, for the most part\, relate to binge drinking and marijuana use similarly between 8th and 10th graders with the exception of parental academic involvement\, time spent with peers\, and sensation seeking behavior. These findings speak to the need for sensitivity to developmental age as important for tailored and targeted interventions of adolescent substance use.\n\n\nBio: Berenice Castillo is a third-year PhD student in the joint Social Work and Developmental Psychology program\, working with Drs. John Schulenberg and Andy Grogan-Kaylor.  She received a BA in Psychology with a minor in Latin American and Latino Studies from the University of California\, Santa Cruz where she worked in the Identity and Transitions lab studying the role of mentorship in first generation college students’ academic achievement and adjustment during the transition to college. She also received a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California where she worked in the Building Capacity lab\, studying the efficacy of school-level programs targeting the well-being of military-connected children. Her more recent work explores how risk and protective factors relate to adolescents’ health and well-being\, particularly among ethnic/racial minorities and underrepresented populations.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Probing the Growth of Structure Using Clusters of Galaxies
DESCRIPTION:We discuss the growth of cosmic structure as constrained using galaxy clusters from the 2500 deg2 South Pole Telescope SZ survey. The current sample contains 377 uniformly selected cluster candidates with Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect detection significance greater than five and redshift z>0.25. Of these\, 89 also have Chandra X-ray data\, and 32 have deep optical follow-up data used to measure the weak gravitational lensing shear. This multi-wavelength data set extends up to z~1.7\, and allows for unique tests of astrophysics and cosmology beyond redshift 1.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss the multi-wavelength analysis of the SPT-SZ cluster sample\, simultaneously constraining cluster scaling relations and cosmology. After reviewing past and current results\, we will discuss the next steps in the SPT cluster cosmology effort which will allow for even more powerful measurements of structure growth. These steps involve incorporating more weak lensing mass calibration data from different ground- and space-based facilities such as the Dark Energy Survey or the Hubble space telescope\, as well as data from the next generations of CMB surveys.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 813 Seminar: Geoffrey Barnes\, MD\, MSc
DESCRIPTION:Health Systems Engineering and Implementation Science: Using the Best of Both Worlds to Standardize Periprocedural Anticoagulation\n\nOral antithrombotic medications (“blood thinners”) are some of the most commonly used and dangerous medications that patients take. This is especially true around the time of a surgical procedure\, when the medications must be stopped to avoid bleeding related to the procedure. With the recent introduction of 4 new oral antithrombotic medications\, many patients and providers are confused as to the best methods to manage anticoagulants.  Using health systems engineering methods\, we aimed to understand the current work flow for patients planning to undergo surgical procedures while taking chronic oral antithrombotic medications. We then developed a re-organized care model aimed at improving safety and coordination of care. Using implementation science techniques\, we developed an implementation plan for re-organizing periprocedural care at the University of Michigan. We are currently exploring the generalizability of these models and their implementation plan across a diverse array of health systems.\n\nGeoffrey Barnes\, MD\, MSc\, is a cardiologist and vascular medicine specialist at the University of Michigan. He completed his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis\, followed by medical school\, residency and fellowship training at the University of Michigan. He has been on faculty at the University of Michigan since 2014. He co-directs the Michigan Anticoagulation Quality Improvement Initiative (MAQI2)\, a collaborative of six health center anticoagulation clinics aimed at improving care for patients across the state of Michigan. Informed by his undergraduate engineering degree\, he strives to use logical models to understand and improve healthcare delivery systems. His current research is focused on improving the delivery of anticoagulation care for patients undergoing surgical procedures. \n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS):  Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, please contact genehkim@umich.edu
