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.

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.

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:47322-10866225@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.

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.

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.

However\, the strength of proteins - their versatility and specific interactions - also complicates and hinders their systematic design and engineering. Our lab has been interested in exploiting the modular nature of protein domains to design synthetic complexes that can perform new biological functions. By adding logical components into the design\, protein complexes that are dynamic rather than static in nature can be created to adapt to the constantly changing cellular environments. In this presentation\, I will outline several successful examples in connecting exchangeable protein domains for predicative engineering applications in (1) energy substantiality and (2) human health.

Existing research has focused on the extent to which transnational efforts compel recalcitrant governments to reduce levels of domestic repression\, but few have considered how such interventions might also provoke new forms of repression. Using a longitudinal study of repression against AIDS activism in China between 1989 and 2013\, Professor Long will propose that transnational institutions’ provision of material resources and reshaping of organizational rules can transform a domestic repressive apparatus in specific policy areas. The intervention of transnational AIDS institutions in China not only constrained traditional violent coercion\, but also generated new forms of “diplomatic repression” that inadvertently contributed to expanded mobilization for urban gay men but demobilization for others. She will conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for understanding authoritarian innovation and sustainability.\n\nYan Long is an Assistant Professor of International Studies and Sociology at Indiana University\, Bloomington. She is a cultural and organizational sociologist interested in the evolution of technocratic governance as a transnational institutional model and its impact on existing forms of domination and resistance. Yan’s current book project\, \"Side Effects: The Transnational Doing and Undoing of AIDS Politics in China\" (under contract\, Oxford Studies in Culture and Politics)\, concerns the transformation of China’s infectious disease control driven by the conflict between transnational AIDS institutions\, the state\, and local activist groups. This book stems from her dissertation that won the 2014 ASA Dissertation Award. Yan was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society after obtaining her PhD in Sociology and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.

This practice need not be intentional. Recent findings suggest that memory reactivation during sleep supports memory consolidation and enduring long-term storage. In particular\, Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) with subtle sensory stimulation can modify neural activity while avoiding arousal from sleep. Sounds associated with learning can be presented again during slow-wave sleep to promote memory reactivation. TMR can thus systematically and selectively enhance learning\, including learning of object-location associations\, verbal associations\, skills\, and habits. Recordings of brain oscillations during sleep can provide evidence about relevant neurophysiological mechanisms\, and in this way elucidate critical contributions of sleep to memory consolidation. This approach to studying and influencing consolidation offers new opportunities for reinforcing learning offline during the many hours we spend sleeping.

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:48737-11297788@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:20180213T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180213T170000 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.

I present a new platform for on-chip quantum light-matter interfaces based on nanophotonic resonators coupled to rare-earth-ions in crystals. The rare-earth ions exhibit long coherence times on optical transitions\, which makes them suitable for optical quantum memories. We demonstrate a high-fidelity nanophotonic quantum memory based on a mesoscopic neodymium ensemble coupled to a photonic crystal cavity. The nanocavity enables >95% spin polarization for efficient initialization of the atomic frequency comb memory\, and time-bin-selective readout via enhanced optical Stark shift of the comb frequencies. Our current technology can be readily transferred to Erbium doped devices for telecom memories that can be integrated with silicon photonics. Besides ensemble memories\, single rare-earth-ions coupled to nano-resonators can be used as single optically addressable quantum bits where the quantum state is mapped on their Zeeman or hyperfine levels with long coherence time. Our solid-state nano-photonic quantum light-matter interfaces can be integrated with other chip-scale photon source and detector devices for multiplexed quantum and classical information processing at the nodes of quantum networks. I also discuss prospects for integration with superconducting resonators and qubits\, which can lead to devices for reversible quantum transduction of optical photons to microwave photons\, thus enabling optical interconnects between superconducting quantum computers.\n\nBiography: Dr. Andrei Faraon is an Assistant Professor of Applied Physics at California Institute of Technology. After earning a B.S. degree in physics with honors in 2004 at California Institute of Technology\, he received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering and PhD in Applied Physics both from Stanford University in 2009. At Stanford\, Dr. Faraon was involved with seminal experiments on quantum optics using single indium arsenide quantum dots strongly coupled to photonic crystal cavities in gallium arsenide. After earning his PhD\, Dr. Faraon spent three years as a postdoctoral fellow at Hewlett Packard Laboratories. At HP he was involved with pioneering experiments on diamond quantum photonic devices coupled to solid-state spins. He demonstrated the first nano-resonators coupled to single nitrogen vacancy centers in mono-crystalline diamond.\n\nFaraon left HP in 2012 to become an Assistant Professor at Caltech\, where he set up a laboratory specialized in developing nano-photonic technologies for devices that operate close to the fundamental limit of light-matter interaction. He is focused both on fundamental challenges on how to control the interaction between single atoms and single photons using nano-technologies\, and on using nano-photonics to build cutting edge devices for imaging and sensing. He is the recipient of the 2015 National Science Foundation CAREER award\, the 2015 Air Force Office of Scientific Research young investigator award and the 2016 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award.\n\n\n UID:42201-9584889@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42201 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180207T160255 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180213T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180213T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | The Way She Saw It: Introducing Gauri Lankesh DESCRIPTION:The talk introduces the life and work of Gauri Lankesh\, the courageous journalist and activist who was assassinated in Bangalore last year. After a fifteen year stint in mainstream English journalism\, Gauri became editor of Lankesh Patrike\, a major Kannada weekly\, in 2000. The subsequent years saw her emerge as an important social and political activist in Karnataka. What were her political concerns? What forms did her activism take? An engagement with these questions illustrates the challenges and dilemmas of being a secular activist in India. Examining the public responses to her death\, the talk also attempts to grasp the changing political culture in India.\n\nChandan Gowda's research interests include social theory\, Indian normative traditions\, caste\, and Kannada literature and cinema. In addition to his academic publications\, he has written for newspapers and published translations of Kannada fiction and non-fiction in English. Before moving to APU\, he was Associate Professor of Sociology at the Centre for the Study of Social Exclusion\, National Law School of India\, Bengaluru\, between 2008 and 2011. He is presently completing a book on the cultural politics of development in old Mysore state.

This period of turmoil culminated at the turn of the 7th century in the Persian conquest\, Byzantine re-conquest\, and finally the Muslim conquest of Palestine. This talk will explore how these episodes reverberated in Jewish messianic and apocalyptic literature. While thus far\, the late antique Jewish messianic matrix has been treated within its own limited boundaries -- that is within Jewish sources and own apocalyptic world-view -- Professor Irshai will argue for the importance of existing links between Christian\, Jewish (and Moslem) redemptive aspirations. Professor Irshai will highlight how these traditions used similar time frames (e.g. from the Book of Daniel) and interpreted natural phenomena (such as earthquakes) as heralding the approaching “end of times.”\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

The outcome variables (typically on the order of 20\,000) are molecular measurements of gene expression and the predictors are genotypes (typically on the order of 1\,000\,000). The identification of regulatory variants in eQTLS (Consortium et al. (2015)\; Ongen et al. (2015)\; Consortium et al. (2017)) proceeds in a hierarchical fashion: the first stage of such a selection identifies promising genes\, followed by a search of potential functional variants in a neighborhood around these discovered genes. Once promising candidates for functional variants have been detected\, the logical next step is to attempt to estimate their effect sizes. However obtaining samples corresponding to a human tissue remains a costly endeavor. Thereby\, eQTLS continue to be based on relatively small sample sizes with this limitation particularly serious for tissues as brain\, liver\, etc.– the organs of most immediate medical relevance. Naive estimates that ignore the genome-wide selection preceding inference can lead to misleading conclusions about that the magnitudes of the true underlying associations. Due to scarcity of biological samples\, the problem of reliable effect size estimation is often deferred to future studies and therefore\, inadequately addressed in the eQTLS research community. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss a principled approach that allows the geneticist to use the available dataset both for discoveries and follow-up estimation of the associated effect sizes\, adjusted for the considerable amount of prior mining. Motivated to measure these effect sizes as consistent point estimates and intervals with target coverage\, my methods are modeled along the conditional approach to selective inference\, introduced in Lee et al. (2016). The proposed procedure is based on a randomized hierarchical strategy that reflects state of the art investigations and introduces the use of randomness instead of data splitting to optimize the use of available data. I will describe the computational bottleneck in performing randomized conditional inference. To overcome these hurdles\, I will describe a novel set of techniques that have higher inferential power than prior selective inference work in Lee et al. (2016).

Urban Heat Islands and other forms of extreme heat such as heat waves kill more people than any type of natural disaster\, as well as threaten the sustained livability and health of many cities. Luckily\, the four design antidotes to heat islands simultaneously address climate change. And because heat islands are more immediately palpable than climate change\, they can motivate humans to act more quickly and decisively against the unfolding\, unprecedented and catastrophic climate challenge at both the local and global level.\n\nTaubman College Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning and Natural Resourcese Larissa Larsen and Urban Planning alumna Missy Stults (Ph.D. 2016) will respond to the lecture in a panel\, in this first ever collaboration between the Urban and Regional Planning Program and the Michigan Chapter of the Congress of the New Urbanism. Dr. Missy Stults is a climate adaptation expert who works with local\, regional\, and tribal communities to enhance resilience towards climate change and natural disasters\, and Larissa Larsen is certified environmental planner and landscape architect who conducts research quantifying environmental injustices related to urban heat islands and climate change.\n\nThis event is a collaboration between Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning's Urban and Regional Planning Department\, and the Michigan Chapter of the Congress for the New Urbanism UID:49410-11453752@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49410 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Climate Change,Lecture,Urban Planning LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building - Auditorium 2104 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180201T120044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180213T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180213T193000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:#Adulting- Go or Stay\, Vacay Your Way DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for an adventure?

Dàimh (the word means \"kinship\" in Scots Gaelic) is based in Lochaber in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland\; an area as much renowned for its scenic beauty as for its rich musical and cultural heritage. A long‐established favorite at folk festivals in Scotland and Ireland and across Europe\, Dàimh recently took home Scots Trad Band of the Year honors at the Scots Traditional Music Awards\, Dàimh are also regulars on BBC television. Recent lineup changes have seen the introduction of Gaelic champion Griogair Labhruidh\, on vocals and Uillean Pipes\, adding the depth and power of his commanding vocal performances to an already phenomenal instrumental arsenal of bagpipes\, fiddle\, mandolin and guitar. From pyrotechnic jigs and reels to achingly poignant ballads\, Dàimh runs the full expressive gamut of folk music at its best\, and is justly renowned for their thrilling live shows.
