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:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Aaditya Ramdas\, Department of Statistics and EECS University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Data science is at a crossroads. Each year\, thousands of new data scientists are entering science and technology\, after a broad training in a variety of fields. Modern data science is often exploratory in nature\, with datasets being collected and dissected in an interactive manner. Classical guarantees that accompany many statistical methods are often invalidated by their non-standard interactive use\, resulting in an underestimated risk of falsely discovering correlations or patterns. It is a pressing challenge to upgrade existing tools\, or create new ones\, that are robust to involving a human-in-the-loop.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe two new advances that enable some amount of interactivity while testing multiple hypotheses\, and control the resulting selection bias. I will first introduce a new framework\, STAR\, that uses partial masking to divide the available information into two parts\, one for selecting a set of potential discoveries\, and the other for inference on the selected set. I will then show that it is possible to flip the traditional roles of the algorithm and the scientist\, allowing the scientist to make post-hoc decisions after seeing the realization of an algorithm on the data. The theoretical basis for both advances is founded in the theory of martingales : in the first\, the user defines the martingale and associated filtration interactively\, and in the second\, we move from optional stopping to optional spotting by proving uniform concentration bounds on relevant martingales.\n\nThis talk will feature joint work with (alphabetically) Rina Barber\, Jianbo Chen\, Will Fithian\, Kevin Jamieson\, Michael Jordan\, Eugene Katsevich\, Lihua Lei\, Max Rabinovich\, Martin Wainwright\, Fanny Yang and Tijana Zrnic.\n\nBio : Aaditya Ramdas is a postdoctoral researcher in Statistics and EECS at UC Berkeley\, advised by Michael Jordan and Martin Wainwright. He finished his PhD in Statistics and Machine Learning at CMU\, advised by Larry Wasserman and Aarti Singh\, winning the Best Thesis Award in Statistics. A lot of his research focuses on modern aspects of reproducibility in science and technology —\ninvolving statistical testing and false discovery rate control in static and dynamic settings.

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.

The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse.  \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

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:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
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:Conference / Symposium:1968 + 50: Unfinished Legacies of Dr. King’s Last Year
DESCRIPTION:On April 4\, 1967\, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the speech “Beyond Vietnam—A Time to Break Silence.” Exactly one year later\, he was assassinated in Memphis\, Tennessee\, where he had been supporting striking sanitation workers. The last year of King's life marked a distinctive period in his career as he allied himself with a broad array of initiatives linking civil rights with antiwar\, labor\, and antipoverty campaigns. This panel will consider the legacy of that year\, stretching from the social justice movements of the late 1960s to causes today such as Black Lives Matter\, immigrant rights\, and attempts to reverse the growing gap of socioeconomic inequality.\n\nFeaturing:\nRuth Feldstein\, Rutgers University-Newark\nMonica Muñoz Martinez\, Brown University\nBrenda Tindal\, Detroit Historical Society\n\nRuth Feldstein is professor of history and American studies at Rutgers University-Newark. She is the author of several books and articles\, most recently the award-winning book\, How It Feels To Be Free: Black Women Entertainers and the Civil Rights Movement\; she is also associate producer of How It Feels to Be Free\, a forthcoming documentary based on this book. Feldstein's scholarship explores relationships between race and gender relations\, and between performance and politics\; she works to tell the stories of women whose voices have not been heard\, and who are seldom taken seriously as thinkers and activists.\n\nMonica Muñoz Martinez\, Carnegie Fellow 2017-2019\, received her PhD in American studies from Yale University. At Brown University she offers courses in Latinx studies\, immigration\, histories of violence\, histories of policing\, and public memory in US History. Her research has been funded by the Mellon Foundation\, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation\, the Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage Project\, the Brown University Office of Vice President of Research\, and the Texas State Historical Association. Her first manuscript\, The Injustice Never Leaves You: Anti-Mexican Violence in the Texas Borderlands\, is under contract with Harvard University Press. She is a faculty fellow at the John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America. Martinez is the primary investigator for Mapping Violence\, a digital project that documents histories of racial violence in Texas. \n\nPublic historian\, archivist\, curator\, and educator Brenda Tindal joined the Detroit Historical Society as director of education in December 2017. She is the former staff historian and senior vice president of research and collections at Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte\, NC. In 2005\, she was part of the curatorial team that developed Courage: The Carolina Story that Changed America\, an exhibit on the region’s role in the landmark school desegregation case\, Brown v. Board of Education (1954)\, which won the National Award for Museum Service—the nation’s highest honor awarded to museums and libraries. Tindal recently co-curated the museum’s K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace—a rapid-response exhibit that explores the historical roots of the distrust between police and community\, tells the human stories beyond the headlines\, and engages viewers in creating constructive solutions. Before joining the Levine Museum of the New South in 2015 as staff historian\, Tindal was a visiting lecturer in the Department of History and Honors College at the University of North Carolina Charlotte\, where she taught a broad range of courses in comparative U.S. and South African history\, southern history\, African American history\, and visual and material culture. A sought after social commentator\, convener\, and speaker\, Tindal has been featured on C-SPAN\, the Knight Foundation’s Media Learning Seminar\, Happenings Magazine\, NPR\, Pride Magazine\, NBC-Today\, The Charlotte Observer\, and many other local and national news and media outlets.\n\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event made possible by the Kalt Fund for African American and African History\, along with the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Other:The Fierce Urgency of Now – What is Y(our) Story?
DESCRIPTION:This year's MLK Symposium theme\, “The Fierce Urgency of Now”\, asks each of us to “...claim ownership of the challenges we face...” We are reminded that\,  “...much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.”\n\nW​e invite members of the University community to share their brief (2-4 minute) stories through written or spoken word\, performance pieces\, poems\, art\, music\, or song.  \n\nWe encourage you to connect your story to the theme of “The Fierce Urgency of Now” and tell us of a time\, situation or event that made you conscious of the need or desire to act.\n\n* What is or has been your inspiration?\n* What did you do\, wish you had done or are you doing?\n* How have you been discouraged from acting as a result of your experience?\n\nThis is an opportunity to tell your story\, among supportive listeners\, because your stories matter!

Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a  pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:We need change NOW...Here's HOW
DESCRIPTION:Karine Jean-Pierre speaks to the U-M campus MLK Day theme\, The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.\n\nJean-Pierre is a political campaign organizer\, activist\, political commentator\, and lecturer in international and public affairs at Columbia University. She is the Senior Advisor and National Spokeswoman for MoveOn.org and is a Contributing Editor for Bustle. She has served as the Deputy Campaign Manager for both Barack Obama and Martin O’Malley presidential campaigns.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, University Housing\, School of Information\, Law Library\, and Bentley Historical Library.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium:  Hidden Figures: Bringing Math\, Physics\, History\, and Race to Hollywood
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn January 2017\, the movie Hidden Figures was released by 20th Century Fox studios. This movie tells the story of three African-American women mathematicians and engineers (Katherine Johnson\, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan) who would play a pivotal role towards the successful mission of John Glenn’s spacecraft orbit around the Earth and the NASA missions to the moon.\n\nFor this talk\, we give a brief review of the space race going on at the time between the United States of America and the former Soviet Union. We will discuss the lives and contributions that NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and the NASA engineers Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan made to the space race. In particular\, their work as concerns John Glenn’s orbit around the Earth in 1962 and to the moon missions. Also\, we will talk about the experiences of being a mathematical consultant for this film. (This talk was designed and originally to be presented by Professor Rudy Horne\, who passed away in December 2017. Professor Washington kindly agreed to present in his stead.)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Lecture- Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America
DESCRIPTION:Please join Michigan Law as we commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a lecture by Professor James Forman of Yale Law School. Professor Forman will discuss his new book\, Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America\, which explores how decisions made by black leaders\, often with the best of intentions\, contributed to disproportionately incarcerating black and brown people. \n\nThis lecture is free and open to the public. \n\nJames Forman Jr. is one of the nation’s leading authorities on race\, education\, and the criminal justice system\, and a tireless advocate for young people who others have written off. Professor Forman attended Yale Law School\, and after he graduated\, worked as a law clerk for Judge William Norris of the 9 th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. After clerking\, he took a job at the Public Defender Service in Washington\, D.C.\, where for six years he represented juveniles and adults in felony and misdemeanor cases. \n\nProfessor Forman loved being a public defender\, but he quickly became frustrated with the lack of education and job training opportunities for his clients. So in 1997\, along with David Domenici\, he started the Maya Angelou Public Charter School\, an alternative school for dropouts and youth who had previously been arrested. The Maya Angelou school has been open for almost twenty years\, and in that time has helped hundreds of vulnerable young people find a second chance\, begin to believe in themselves\, graduate\, get jobs\, and attend college. \n\nAt Yale Law School\, where has taught since 2011\, Professor Forman teaches Constitutional Law and a course called Race\, Class\, and Punishment. Last year he took his teaching behind prison walls\, offering a seminar called Inside-Out Prison Exchange: Issues in Criminal Justice\, which brought together\, in the same classroom\, 10 Yale Law students and 10 men incarcerated in a CT prison.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984-1992
DESCRIPTION:As part of the university's honoring of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day\n\nAudre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 - 1992\nMONDAY JANUARY 15\, 2018\n6:00 pm Hatcher Library Gallery\n\nAudre Lorde’s incisive\, often-angry\, always brilliant writings and speeches defined and inspired the US-American feminist\, lesbian\, African-American\, and Women-of-Color movements of the 1970s and 1980s. Audre Lorde - the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 documents an untold chapter of Lorde’s life: her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change. The film explores the importance of Lorde’s legacy\, as she encouraged Afro-Germans—who\, at that time\, had no name or space for themselves—to make themselves visible within a culture that until then had kept them isolated and silent. \n\nThe film chronicles Lorde’s empowerment of Afro-German women to write and to publish\, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways. Previously unreleased archive material as well as present-day interviews explore the lasting influence of Lorde’s ideas on Germany and the impact of her work and personality. For the first time\, Dagmar Schultz’s personal archival video- and audio-recordings reveal a significant part of the private Audre Lorde as well as her agenda—to rouse Afro-Germans to recognize each other. \n\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, \nplease contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Me\, The \"Other\" Film 
DESCRIPTION:Me\, The “Other” World Premiere on January 15th\, 2018 at 7:00 PM at The Michigan Theater in downtown Ann Arbor\, Michigan. We set out to tell stories of differences due to prejudice\, ignorance\, and discrimination and found “otherness” is never one thing. From three colleges in Washtenaw County in Southeast Michigan come the narratives of twelve students whose lives are shaped by the perceptions of others and whose spell-binding stories of struggle and triumph reveal the resilience of the human spirit.\n\nMe\, the “Other” is more than a film. It is the centerpiece of a platform for creating conversations about “otherness” and about what connects us and divides us through the documentary\, as well as social media\, the website\, short films and conversations in local communities. We hope to see you there! Watch the Trailer here. Tickets are $5.00 (No ID required). Purchase your ticket here. To learn more about the Film\, click here.
