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:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brain Aging and What You Can do About it
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Polk is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. He received an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Computer Science and Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University and postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Polk’s research uses functional imaging of the human brain to investigate the neural architecture underlying cognition and how that architecture is influenced by age\, by experience\, and by genetics. He was also named to the Princeton Review list of the best 300 professors in the U.S. \n\nAging is associated with subtle declines in some cognitive function\, but not others. As we age\, we become a little more forgetful\, we get distracted more easily\, and we can’t process information quite as quickly. At the same time\, world knowledge\, emotional processing and what’s sometimes called wisdom tend to remain stable and may even improve with age. Why is that? This talk will answer that question by explaining what happens to our brains as we age\, as well as discussing some scientifically verified approaches that can help our brains age more gracefully.\n\nThis is the fifth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2017-18. A variety of topics will be covered. There is one lecture each month\, for a total of ten. The next lecture will be on February 13\, 2018. The subject is Getting into Michigan Musical Theater.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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:Optimal sensors in random environments
DESCRIPTION:** note location change to 411 West Hall **\n\nAbstract:  The efficient coding hypothesis has revolutionized theoretical neuroscience.  I would argue that its next-generation instantiation is best understood using rate-distortion theory.  I use rate-distortion theory to inspire a simple model of sensory adaptation.  In randomly drawn\, fluctuating environments\, this model explains the absence of sensory neurogenesis and predicts that biological sensors are poised to just barely confuse ``minimal confounds'' in the environment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Control of Topological Defects in Liquid Crystals
DESCRIPTION:Among the many physical systems that form topological defects\, liquid crystals are special because their characteristic topological defects are easy to visualize and manipulate. Many strategies can be employed to manipulate topological defects in these fluids with long-range order\, either by external fields\, or by choosing an appropriate topography of the confining surfaces\, or dispersing colloidal particles in liquid crystals. Through combinations of these strategies\, it is possible to generate defect arrays which then can be used for optics or to promote self-assembly of colloidal particles. I will discuss the behavior of a colloidal particle in liquid crystals next to an undulated surface\, and the case of focal conic defects in smectic liquid crystals that can be assembled on curved interfaces to form an array of micro-lenses. I will also discuss defect arrays in nematic liquid crystals driven by electrical fields\, which can form large\, regular and reconfigurable structures. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: CLOUD/BANK
DESCRIPTION:Cloud/Bank is a temporary installation designed for Exhibit Columbus\, a 2017 exhibition and conference in Columbus\, Indiana\, by Architecture Lecturer Michael (Mick) Kennedy and a team of Taubman College M.Arch. students: Bob Allsop\, Sophie Anstreicher\, Scott Chriss\, Chiao-Chun Chung\, Julia Dallas\, Kelly Gregory\, Karl Heckman\, Rachael Henry\, Troy Huckendubler\, Onur Kamburoglu\, Panquat Kyesmu\, Jenny Lee\, Sarah Munchow\, Kelsey Reynolds\, Dan Smith\, Tyler Whitney\, Paco Wu\, Shujie Xie\, Jon Yates\, and Yunsen Zhong. The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates. Following the exhibition in Columbus\, Cloud/Bank will be on view in the Liberty Research Annex Gallery through February 11\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. The West’s Democratic Challenge: Central Europe’s Variant and What America Can Do
DESCRIPTION:The transatlantic community of democracies – aka “The West” – faces its most profound challenge since the Cold War\, and in some ways since the 1930s. Despite the achievement of a Europe (nearly) whole\, free and at peace for the first time in history\, the West has lost much of its self confidence\, and faces challenges from without (Putin’s Russia) and from within. The challenges from within include economic stresses (stagnation\, youth unemployment\, and widening income disparities\, especially in the U.S.)\, seeming political dysfunction\, and issues of national identity. These have combined to generate widespread doubts about the fundamentals of the West’s strategy and even its values that have seemed secure since the early post-WWII period. Much has been written about Central Europe’s nationalist and nativist turn\, including “illiberal democracy” in Hungary\, populism in Slovakia and Bulgaria\, and an inward-looking Polish nationalism. But these are not singular\; there is no particular problem with Central Europe\, rather\, the nations of Central Europe face their own variants of the common challenge which we\, the nations of the West\, all face. America cannot fix political challenges in Europe\, but given America’s history in Central Europe – as champion of national aspirations and democracy during the Cold War and of a united Europe during the generation that followed – America has some agency and responsibility commensurate with that agency. \n\nWhat can we do? First\, showing up is half the battle. The U.S. needs to be present with a strategic message of why the West and its values matter. The 100th Anniversary of the fall of empires in 1918 provides an excellent occasion\, especially in Prague\, Bratislava\, and Warsaw. Second\, we need a message to governments and societies that takes account of Central European concerns\, especially their sensitivity toward their newly-regained national sovereignty\, including in the context of Europe’s difficult debate on refugees. Patriotism and national pride are not the same as chauvinism\, though they can degenerate into it. Third\, we need to help the Central Europeans defend themselves against Russian aggression\, both overt but more importantly aggression via disinformation and propaganda\, about which America is learning much. Fourth\, without unproductive lecturing\, America needs to convey messages when governments in Central Europe put at risk democratic fundamentals. We need to be judicious\, not shrill\, in our tactics and selective in our battles. Fifth\, American leadership in the West\, and the Free World more broadly\, remains indispensable: when we do not lead\, others will fill the vacuum. \n\nIn his forty-year Foreign Service career\, Ambassador Fried played a key role in designing and implementing American policy in Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union. As Special Assistant and NSC Senior Director for Presidents Clinton and Bush\, Ambassador to Poland\, and Assistant Secretary of State for Europe (2005-09)\, Ambassador Fried crafted the policy of NATO enlargement to Central European nations and\, in parallel\, NATO-Russia relations\, thus advancing the goal of Europe whole\, free\, and at peace. During those years\, the West’s community of democracy and security grew in Europe. Ambassador Fried helped lead the West’s response to Moscow’s aggression against Ukraine starting in 2014: as State Department Coordinator for Sanctions Policy\, he crafted U.S. sanctions against Russia\, the largest U.S. sanctions program to date\, and negotiated the imposition of similar sanctions by Europe\, Canada\, Japan and Australia. Having retired from the Foreign Service in April\, 2017\, Ambassador Fried is currently a Distinguished Fellow with the Atlantic Council.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Zhou Fan\, Department of Statistics\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Random effects models are commonly used to measure genetic variance-covariance matrices of quantitative phenotypic traits in a population. The eigenvalues of these matrices describe the evolutionary response of the population to selection. However\, they may be difficult to estimate from limited samples when the number of traits is large. I will discuss several phenomena concerning the eigenvalues of classical MANOVA estimators in such high-dimensional settings\, including dispersion of the bulk eigenvalue distribution\, bias and aliasing of large \"spike\" eigenvalues\, and Tracy-Widom limits at the spectral edges. I will then describe a new statistical procedure that uses these results to consistently estimate the large population eigenvalues in a high-dimensional regime. The proofs develop and extend techniques in random matrix theory and free probability\, which I will also briefly describe.\n\nThis is joint work with Iain M. Johnstone\, Yi Sun\, Mark W. Blows\, and Emma Hine
