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.

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.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

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.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. 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.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866206@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

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.

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.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity.

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.

Malm joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 1960 and there developed a program in ethnomusicology which included world music surveys\, seminars and performance ensembles\, particularly in Japanese kabuki and festival music. He also arranged the university acquisition of a Indonesian gamelan and taught that music as well.. In 1980 he became director of the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments and pursued new approaches to display such as holography and computer methods for cataloguing and research.  He has been president\, treasurer\, and office manager of the Society for Ethnomusicology and been on the boards of many other music and Asian organizations. He has written extensively in a wide variety of fields. His Music Cultures of the Pacific\, the Near East\, and Asia was a pioneer step towards world music text books. Six Hidden Views of Japanese Music came from his lectures as the Ernst Bloch Professor of Music at the University of California\, Berkeley. \"Theater as Music\"(1990) is a joint study of the music of Japan's puppet theater. The second edition of his 1997 book appeared with a CD in 2000 as Japanese Traditional Music and Musical Instruments.\n\nMalm has been a distinguished professor at several schools and has lectured extensively around the U.S. and the world. Research grants have sent him to such places as Japan\, Malaysia\, Australia\, the East-West Center in Hawaii\, and the Villa Serbelloni in Italy. Among his honors at Michigan are the Henry J. Russel (1965) and State Legislature (1990) awards for excellent in undergraduate teaching and\, internationally\, the Koizumi Fumio Prize for Ethnomusicology (1993). He retired in 1994.

The cemeteries were used by two ethnic groups attested in the Chinese historical and archaeological records: the Huaxia\, or Chinese\; and the Rong\, an agropastoralist group that migrated from Western China\, and which had a long and complicated history of contact and conflict with the Huaxia. At the current study sites\, mortuary and biodistance analyses confirm the cultural and biological distinctiveness of the two groups. However\, skeletal measures of health and diet show an increase in similarity over time\, which supports historical accounts that the Rong eventually adopted sedentary agriculture and assimilated into the Huaxia ethnicity.

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 UID:48737-11297769@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180102T150826 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180125T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180125T153000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Making Teamwork Work DESCRIPTION:Effective use of groups in the classroom can increase student learning and enhance students' problem solving abilities\, if instructors ensure that all students are engaged and included.

The cellular mechanisms underlying delayed metastasis are poorly understood. Here we employ single-cell RNA sequencing to transcriptionally profile >80\,000 cancer cells and infiltrating immune cells from primary and metastatic patient lung adenocarcinomas and in mouse models of metastasis-initiation. We show that primary tumors are replete with metastasis-initiating cells and demonstrate a striking level of developmental plasticity that is constrained to the SOX9 (distal) lineage in patient metastases. I recapitulated these findings in a mouse model of lung cancer metastasis\, where I further demonstrate that growth-restricted (i.e. quiescent/dormant) MetSC conversely persist in a state of differentiation down the Sox2 proximal airway lineage. Using fluorescence lineage-tracing techniques\, we show that these quiescent cells are monoclonal and retain metastatic stem-cell properties. This was in contrast to more aggressive metastatic derivatives that showed evidence of polyclonal seeding from the orthotopic site. Strikingly\, depletion of Natural Killer (NK) cells allowed escape of cells that recapitulate both proximal and distal lung lineages\; demonstrating that developmental plasticity during the invasion-metastasis cascade undergoes NK-cell mediated pruning. How tumor cells\, either intrinsically or through adaptation\, exploit such phenotypic plasticity and context-dependent cell-cell interactions for metastatic progression will remain the focus of my independent research program.

Brexit Means Brexit...But What Does That Mean for Scotland and Ireland? DESCRIPTION:What is Brexit really going to mean? The UK Prime Minister May famously said that \"Brexit means Brexit\" but putting some meaning into her words is a complex and hard fought process. For the UK\, it is probably the biggest policy challenge since World War II. Its implications for Northern Ireland\, Scotland\, and Wales are at high stakes\, underappreciated\, and could have serious consequences. This talk maps the complex politics: in the UK\, EU\, and around the negotiating table. In particular\, what will the emerging Brexit settlement mean for the EU and the UK into the future?\n\nScott Greer researches the politics of health policies\, with a special focus on the politics and policies of the European Union and the impact of federalism on health care. Before coming to Michigan\, he taught at University College London. He has published over fifty book chapters and articles in journals including the \"British Medical Journal\,\" \"American Journal of Public Health\,\" \"Social Science and Medicine\,\" \"Journal of European Public Policy\,\" \"Journal of European Social Policy\,\" and \"Journal of Health Politics\, Policy and Law.\" His most recent books include \"Everything You Always Wanted to Know about European Union Health Policies but Were Afraid to Ask\" (2014)\, \"Strengthening Health System Governance: Better Policies\, Stronger Performance\" (2015)\, \"Federalism and Decentralization in European Health and Social Care\" (2013)\, and \"European Union Public Health Policies\" (2013).

Chemical ecologists have long sought to understand the identities\, functions\, and consequences of these compounds in the marine environment. However\, traditional approaches to connect naturally occurring chemical compounds with ecological outcomes have often been unsatisfactory\, especially for cases in which chemical cues and signaling molecules are waterborne and unstable\; yields are low or variable\; multiple compounds act synergistically or additively\; and behavioral assays are labor-intensive or consume considerable amounts of a scarce molecule. We have developed a metabolomics-based strategy to take advantage of the natural variation in production of chemical cues across different environmental conditions towards identifying ecologically important waterborne molecules and their effects on organism behavior and physiology. As expected\, marine organisms respond to a diversity of chemical species in their watery worlds\, exhibiting dramatic behavioral and physiological changes when exposed to predators and competitors.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/7JkJ9ehjpoU UID:47817-11015156@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47817 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Chemistry,Ecology,Environment,Lecture,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180207T121657 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180125T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180125T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Russian Undergraduate Conversation Group DESCRIPTION:Are you a student of Russian looking to develop your conversational skills?

Smith\, Professor of New Testament at Ashland Theological Seminary and first female graduate in New Testament from Harvard University.\n\nSome things have changed since Martin Luther King Jr. gave his last speech\, but much remains the same. In his speeches and sermons\, King often draws upon the Hebrew Bible prophetic tradition to articulate the moral and ethical responsibility of human beings and nations to engender freedom\, equality\, peace\, justice\, and love in the world. King conjures Micah 6:8 where the prophet states that God requires that human beings love mercy\, do justice and walk humbly with God and the Exodus tradition wherein God stands on the side of the oppressed and for freedom from oppression. King challenged us to embody and engender God’s beloved community in the world. And for his theological and rhetorical articulation of the beloved community\, King sometimes conjures the New Testament Johannine tradition. Although King may draw less from the Acts of the Apostles\, his hermeneutic aligns with a theological and social agenda we find in Acts and Luke. There\, the burgeoning assembly of believers\, like King’s beloved community\, struggles to engender equality\, inclusivity\, elimination of poverty and justice towards the ends of the earth. King’s beloved community is committed to the common humanity of all people\, the elimination of poverty\, and maladjustment to oppression and evil through nonviolent resistance. King conjures Acts\, but both Acts and King at times miss the mark. Where Acts and King hit and miss the mark remain prophetically relevant for our contemporary context and challenge us to become the beloved community characterized by Divine equality\, radical socio-economic equity\, and courageous maladjustment.\n\nDr. Smith's lecture will be followed by a panel discussion about the legacy of MLK's Biblical teaching today. \n\nPanelists: Aaron Chapman (Dedicated to Christ Baptist Church)\; Kenneth Harris (Ecumenical Theological Seminary)\; Marvin McMickle (Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School)\; Larry Smith (New Saint Mark Baptist Church)\n\nThis event is organized by the Department of Near Eastern Studies of the University of Michigan with the support of the David Noel Freedman Lectures and the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies.
