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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
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: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:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Searches for New Physics Through Third Generation Particles at the ATLAS Detector 
DESCRIPTION:The Standard Model (SM) has been central to particle physics for decades\, and its success in predicting observational results has culminated in the 2012 discovery of a Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. However\, the theory is considered 'not natural'\, requiring finely-tuned parameters to allow for the precise cancellation of large radiative corrections to the Higgs boson mass. In pursuit of a more natural theory\, extensions to the SM have been proposed that would stabilize the Higgs boson mass and resolve the hierarchy problem (supersymmetry\, extended Higgs sectors\, models with vector-like quarks).  This presentation will focus on several ATLAS searches for new physics involving third generation particles\, both targeting extended Higgs sectors and vector-like quarks.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 813 Seminar: Amy Cohn\, William Pozehl\, Garth W Strohbehn
DESCRIPTION:Block Scheduling for Medical Residents\n\nEach year\, the leadership teams for medical residency programs must construct the annual block schedule\, which assigns each of their residents to various services throughout the year in order to provide both appropriate training for the individuals and sufficient patient care coverage for the services. This process is traditionally done by hand\, costly in resources and time\, and often fails to meet the needs of the residents\, programs\, and services. This manual construction process is further complicated by the need to coordinate across multiple residency programs staffing the same services. In close collaboration with clinical and administrative leadership\, our team develops a linear programming model capable of capturing the needs of numerous residency programs and their partner services. Moreover\, the model incorporates the metrics and objectives by which the clinicians may assess the quality of one potential schedule compared to another. We apply these tools to rapidly construct schedules for more than 400 residents and 150 services at the University of Michigan each year. We find that linear programming models can be used to not only automate the process\, but also provides for better quality schedules by satisfying more requests and equitably balancing each resident's schedule fairly.\n\nAmy Cohn\, PhD\, joined the faculty in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2002 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009\; in 2011\, she was also named a Thurnau Professor and in 2017 was promoted to Full Professor. She currently holds the position of Associate Director for the Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety. Her primary research interest is in robust and integrated planning for large-scale systems\, predominantly in healthcare and aviation applications. She also collaborates on projects in satellite communications\, vehicle routing problems for hybrid fleets\, and robust network design for power systems and related applications. Her primary teaching interest is in optimization techniques\, at both the graduate and undergraduate level.\n\nWilliam Pozehl\, MSE\, is a researcher at the Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS) at the University of Michigan. He completed both his undergraduate and Master's degrees in Industrial & Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. Since joining CHEPS as an undergraduate researcher\, his projects have primarily focused on building models to schedule patient care providers with the goals of improving schedule quality and reducing the burden of constructing said schedules. \n\nGarth W Strohbehn\, MD\, MPhil\, is a general internist and Chief Medical Resident (CMR) at the University of Michigan Health System. He completed his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Chemistry at the University of Iowa\, followed by graduate work in Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge Addenbrooke’s Hospital and medical school at Yale University. He has been a member of the Internal Medicine Residency Program since 2014 and\, along with three colleagues\, Chief Resident since June 2017\, where his major shared responsibilities include developing yearly schedules at day-by-day resolution for approximately 150 physicians-in-training\, preparing and delivering core daily educational sessions\, mentoring resident career development\, and\, most importantly\, advocating for resident well-being. Inspired by his current responsibilities and academic background\, his current research interests include systems redesign in medical education\, novel educational methods in medicine incorporating visual arts and mindfulness\, randomized controlled trials in medical education\, and drug development in hematology/oncology. \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.\n\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, please contact genehkim@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Other:Author's Forum Presents: The Book of Wonders
DESCRIPTION:A lonely female accountant falls for a man who seems to have stepped out of a Greek myth\; a scholar uncovers a lost Shakespearean couplet and decides to quit academia\; a celebrated author experiments with downloading a story from her brain and uploading it to another. In these and other stories\, Douglas Trevor explores situations--both unsettling and comic--in which people lose their bearings\, reinvent themselves\, and resolve\, sometimes haplessly\, to make sense of their lives. Characters are kidnapped by teenagers\; they are bitten by raccoons. Some of them go on Prozac\; while others rely on bowling to persevere. Running through these nine stories is the ghostly\, and at times material\, presence of books themselves. What does it mean to turn to books for comfort? Or to uncover the ways in which the stories we absorb and revisit not only open up worlds but also close them off? In a variety of moods and settings\, The Book of Wonders reminds us not only of the struggle to connect\, but also of what the most unlikely of people may realize they share.\n\nDouglas Trevor is the author of the novel Girls I Know (SixOneSeven Books\, 2013)\, and the short story collection The Thin Tear in the Fabric of Space (University of Iowa Press\, 2005). Thin Tear won the 2005 Iowa Short Fiction Award and was a finalist for the 2006 Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award for First Fiction. Girls I Know won the 2013 Balcones Fiction Prize. Doug’s short fiction has appeared most recently as a Ploughshares Solo\, and in The Iowa Review\, New Letters\, and the Michigan Quarterly Review. He has also had stories in The Paris Review\, Glimmer Train\, Epoch\, Black Warrior Review\, The New England Review\, and about a dozen other literary magazines. Doug lives in Ann Arbor\, where he is the current Director of the Helen Zell Writers’ Program\, and a Professor of Renaissance Literature in the English Department at the University of Michigan.\n\nPeter Ho Davies is the author of two novels\, The Fortunes (winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award\, and the Chautauqua Prize) and The Welsh Girl (long-listed for the Man Booker Prize)\, and two short story collections\, The Ugliest House in the World(winner of the John Llewelyn Rhys Prize) and Equal Love (A New York Times Notable Book).\n\nHis work has appeared in Harpers\, The Atlantic\, The Paris Review\, The Guardian and Washington Post among others\, and has been widely anthologized\, including selections for Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards and Best American Short Stories. In 2003 Granta magazine named him among its Best of Young British Novelists.\n\nDavies is also a recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and is a winner of the PEN/Malamud Award.\n\nBorn in Britain to Welsh and Chinese parents\, he now makes his home in the US. He has taught at the University of Oregon and Emory University\, and is currently on the faculty of the Helen Zell MFA Program in Creative Writing at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
