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.

Using administrative data from Texas\, I classify schools in which the lowest-performing student subgroup was close to the proficiency threshold for making Adequate Yearly Progress as under accountability pressure. I present evidence that per pupil spending was around $60 higher in schools under accountability pressure after accounting for prior spending. A distributional shift that increased the share of teachers and reduced the share of teaching aides in pressured schools partially account for the higher spending\, as do higher teacher wages. By contrast\, distributional shifts in teaching experience as teachers enter and exit schools do not explain the effect on school expenditure.

It includes a keynote\, breakouts and a panel session.\n\nKeynote Speaker:\nJacob Morgan\n\nKeynote:\nThe Future of Work is all About Employee Experience\n\nWe invest a great deal of time and money to improve employee engagement\, yet our efforts often seem to miss the mark. How can that be? Jacob Morgan\, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the future of work and employee engagement\, uses his ongoing research of 252 organizations to show how short term “adrenaline shot” programs such as job sharing or working from home\, aren’t necessarily the answer. He will demonstrate how the world’s top organizations are redesigning work around their people by focusing on three environments: culture\, technology\, and the physical workspace. He will share why employee experience is the next big area of investment\, what the top organizations are doing\, and how you can go about creating an Experiential Organization.

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:47322-10866219@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. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

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.

While correlators of these models admit a conventional genus expansion of the worldsheet\, the amplitudes actually localize on the maximal non-separating degeneration. We explore this simplification at two loops for type II supergravity\, concluding in several observations for generic massless field theories.

Sold in cheap diners\, strip mall buffets\, and P.F. Chang's\, this dish is a staple of contemporary American life. But critics charge that this dish is bad\, epitomizing everything that is wrong with American Chinese food. Greasy\, sweet\, and MSG-laden\, sweet-and-sour pork is a distortion of \"real\" Chinese cooking\, arguably more American than Chinese. In this talk\, I will challenge current views of sweet-and-sour pork by situating this dish within a history of cross-cultural contact and exchange. Through a mouth-watering tour of early modern Chinese meat stews and fried things\, I will also reconsider popular assumptions about culinary authenticity and argue that you should once again relish your sweet-and-sour pork - without shame.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. 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:48737-11297782@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:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

All of these groups emulated the Black Panther Party because each group believed that their struggle as poor\, underserved and oppressed people was aligned with the struggle of black people throughout the world. More importantly\, the power of the liberation struggle led by the Black Panther Party in the US that impacted the struggles of poor and oppressed people in Europe\, the South Pacific\, the Middle East\, and Asia has been understudied for far too long.\n\nJakobi Williams’ research interests are centered on questions of resistance and social justice revolutions found within the African American community. His most recent book\, From the Bullet to the Ballot: The Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party and Racial Coalition Politics in Chicago\, demonstrates that Chicago’s Black Power movement was both a response to and extension of the city’s civil rights movement. Williams is a recipient of the National Endowment for the Humanities grant\, the National Humanities Center Fellowship\, and the Big Ten Academic Alliance-Academic Leadership Program.

They are also essential for semiconductor device fabrication\, the sterilization of medical equipment and the production of heat shrink tubing and tires. Achieving increased brightness and extending the scientific and industrial reach of these beams poses basic scientific questions about beam production\, acceleration and transport\, whose answers will require expertise spanning disciplines from ab initio physics\, materials science\, surface chemistry\, and mathematics to accelerator physics. A new NSF Science and Technology Center\, the Center for Bright Beams\, has been formed to do exactly this. The colloquium will present some of the key scientific questions involved in producing and using future bright beams and Center for Bright Beams early results. \n\n UID:49635-11487519@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49635 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180201T095948 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Fracturing of American Political Life DESCRIPTION:Much has been written about the increasing fragmentation of American society\, and the polarization of our politics. Although several explanations have been offered to account for this polarization\, I argue that something else is at fault: the decline of leadership among the heads of large American corporations. Through its relative moderation and pragmatism\, the corporate elite helped to keep extremist elements at bay during the post-World War II period\, an era of historically low inequality and high economic growth. In the 1970s\, however\, these elites\, facing a major crisis\, allied themselves with the far right groups they had previously shunned. Although this allowed large corporations to achieve several goals\, it opened the way for extremists to gain control of the Republican Party. In aligning itself with traditional conservatives\, the corporate elite created a situation that it can no longer control. The result is the political extremism that we observe today.

KEYNOTE LECTURE: JOEL SANDERS\, \"FROM STUD TO STALLED!: ARCHITECTURE IN TRANSITION\" DESCRIPTION:Joel Sanders' work addresses identity\, inclusivity\, and social issues in architecture. Recently\, his research has been focused on gender neutral bathrooms\, a highly debated and relevant topic today. Stalled!\, in collaboration with Susan Stryker\, aims to create a relatively barrier free open precinct that encourages all embodied subjects to freely and safely engage with one another in public space. Joel believes that making these changes requires acknowledging the pivotal role that building codes play in shaping identity through design\, as well as acknowledging that such codes are not neutral functional objectives but rather reflect and reproduce deep-seated cultural beliefs that shape the design of the spaces of our daily lives\, including bathrooms. \n\nIn addition to running his studio based in New York City\, Joel is a Professor of Architecture at Yale University. Prior to joining the Yale faculty\, he was the Director of the Graduate Program in Architecture at Parsons School of Design and an Assistant Professor at Princeton University. Joel received both a B.A. and M.Arch from Columbia University.\n\nThe editor of Stud: Architectures of Masculinity (Princeton Architectural Press\, 1996)\, he frequently writes about art and design\, most recently in Pin-up\, Art Forum and the Harvard Design Magazine. His monograph\, Joel Sanders: Writings and Projects\, was published by Monacelli Press in 2005. Groundwork: Between Landscape and Architecture\, co-edited with Diana Balmori\, was released by Monacelli Press in 2011.\n\nAn active member of the design community\, he serves on committees and panels on behalf of the American Academy in Rome\, MacDowell Colony\, American Institute of Architects\, Architectural League\, and the GSA Peer Review. Joel is also a co-chair of Van Alen Institute's Program Leadership Council (www.vanalen.org).\n\nIn collaboration with the UM Initiative on Disability Studies (UMInDS)\, Stalled! Symposium continues Thursday\, February 8.

SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. \n\nWhenever disabled-queer-trans bodies move in on social space\, they disrupt the regimes of fitness presiding over urban and institutional infrastructure.Disabled-queer-trans\, or alterite bodies\, challenge normative preconceptions held by equally normate bodies.\n\nStalled!\, is a critical platform that collects key thought leaders to expand discourse in this space\, and invites broad participation from the University of Michigan network of activists\, facility personnel\, students\, academic staff\, administrators\, and faculty. Working from biological\, disabled\, historical\, political\, queer\, racial\, spatial\, and transgender perspectives\, Stalled! exposes the deep structure of discrimination proliferating throughout architecture and institutions. Stalled! co-locates inclusivity and radical alterity by promoting discussion around disability\, gender-fluidity\, and intersectionality.\n\nDeveloped by architect and activist\, Prof. Joel Sanders from Yale School of Architecture\, in collaboration with Taubman College\, Stalled! seeks several specific objectives: the design of more inclusive public spaces\, enrolling supportive partners and allies from across the University\, and educating various publics regarding the needs of social groups currently denied access to inclusive restrooms. Stalled! produces a conversation that expands upon the rhetoric of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, to reanimate static infrastructure as sites to demonstrate more actionable alterity.\n\nStalled! questions the protocols around how urban space is organized\, how buildings are designed\, and how everything - from the glossy messaging of advertising\, to the ubiquity of our digital identities - are overwhelmingly designed around monolithic forms of gender conformity\, singular concepts of ability\; and by extension\, within a very limited understanding of difference. Trans-Queer-Crip bodies make legible the limitations of regulatory bodies\, such as healthcare\, the systemic discrimination of the legal apparatus\, and complacency of education to equitably or imaginatively conceptualize alterity beyond a condition to be ameliorated\, incarcerated\, or accommodated. \n\nPanel 1: Trans and Queer Theory\nSpeaker: Mel Chen\, UC Berkeley\, Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies\; Director\, Center for the Study of Sexual Culture\n\nPanel 2: Inclusive Space\, Design\, Infrastructure\nSpeaker: Jos Boys\, University of Brighton\, College of Art & Culture\n\nStalled! kicks off on Wednesday\, February 7 at 6:00pm with a keynote lecture by Joel Sanders. Joel's work addresses identity\, inclusivity\,and social issues in architecture. Recently\, his research has been focused on gender neutral bathrooms\, a highly debated and relevant topic today. Stalled!\, in collaboration with Susan Stryker\, aims to create a relatively barrier free open precinct that encourages all embodied subjects to freely and safely engage with one another in public space. Joel believes that making these changes requires acknowledging the pivotal role that building codes play in shaping identity through design\, as well as acknowledging that such codes are not neutral functional objectives but rather reflect and reproduce deep-seated cultural beliefs that shape the design of the spaces of our daily lives\, including bathrooms. \n\nIn partnership with the UM Initiative on Disability Studies (UMInDS)\, The U-M Spectrum Center\, and the U-M Women's Studies Department.
