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.

Prof. Wozniak will discuss in-progress work that combines lab experimental approaches from economics and psychology to determine whether handgun access also influences higher order decision-making. The goal of this in-progress research is to determine whether randomized access to a realistic handgun object affects choices when subjects face real (financial) consequences.

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:47322-10866226@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

The media has labeled this the “CSI Effect”. But is it true? \n\nThis class for those 50 and over discusses empirical research into real juror expectations and demands for scientific evidence\, whether it might better be called the “tech effect”\, and how the criminal justice system needs to adjust to these modern jurors.\n\nThis study group will meet for 90 minutes and will be led by Donald Shelton\, who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn.

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.

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.

Once the world’s youngest Ph.D.\, Ruth Gruber died in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years\, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947\, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints\, never before exhibited\, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives. \n\nThe Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday\, February 7\, 2018\, at 6:00pm.\n\n\"Ruth Gruber\, Photojournalist\" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber.

However\, it cannot be a complete description of Nature as it cannot explain various experimental observations. For example\, it lacks a viable dark matter candidate and can neither explain the observed matter/antimatter asymmetry of our Universe nor neutrino oscillations. Thus\, physics beyond the Standard Model is well motivated. In this seminar\, we explore different methods to probe new physics at multiple energy scales\, from high energy colliders\, such as the LHC\, to precision low energy experiments. In particular\, we focus on searches for new force carriers at the LHCb experiment and in precision atomic spectroscopy. We show that the inclusive search for dark photons at the LHCb experiment already probes new parameter space and can be easily interpreted for a large variety of new physics models. On the precision frontier\, we explore the potential of isotope shift spectroscopy to probe new long range force carriers.

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:48737-11297789@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:20180130T094139 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180214T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180214T153000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Lost and Found in the Digital DESCRIPTION:As the number of digital humanities approaches continues to grow\, libraries and other institutions must increasingly grapple with how to catalog\, preserve\, and present digital work\, which means engaging big\, time-critical conversations about standards and possibilities in the face of constant technological emergence. In this presentation\, however\, I will be asking us to think about the smallness of individuals\, namely the interplay between the ephemeral and the institutional that has become increasingly recognizable as foundational to many scholars' intellectual growth. As the digital increasingly becomes part of the terrain\, what will count as a scholarly legacy? What have digital affordances fundamentally changed about our potential relationships to the scholarly industrial complex? What has been lost? Who has been found?

In this presentation\, however\, Marisa Parham\, Professor of English at Amherst College\, asks us to think about the smallness of individuals\, namely the interplay between the ephemeral and the institutional that has become increasingly recognizable as foundational to many scholars' intellectual growth.\n\nAs the digital increasingly becomes part of the terrain\, what will count as a scholarly legacy? What have digital affordances fundamentally changed about our potential relationships to the scholarly industrial complex? What has been lost? Who has been found? And how do these considerations fit into a larger conversation about digital preservation?\n\nEmergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

Cartagena-Rivera\nBME Faculty Candidate and Guest Speaker\nNational Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders\nNational Institutes of Health\n \n “Cellular and Tissue Mechanical Regulation – Towards an Understanding of Self-Organization in Mechanobiology”\n \nAbstract:\nDetermination of critical physical parameters of complex biological systems is key for understanding the relationships between molecular structure\, biophysical properties\, and biological function of cells and tissues. Recently\, I developed novel minimally invasive atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods for the quantitative determination of relevant mechanical properties of the (i) actomyosin cortex of nonadherent cells\, (ii) apical surface and apico-lateral junctional complexes of polarized epithelia\, and (iii) sensory stereociliary bundles in the inner ear.\n \nThe cortical actin cytoskeleton lies just beneath the plasma membrane defining cell shape and mechanical properties\, and thus plays a key role in cellular processes such as migration and morphogenesis\, and contributes to the macroscale mechanics of tissues. I developed an AFM method for using an AFM with tipless cantilevers to determine actomyosin cortical tension\, elastic modulus\, and intracellular pressure of human fibroblast and melanoma nonadherent cells. I applied this new method to determine changes in cortical actin molecular dynamics after treatment with drugs and administration of siRNAs targeting the actomyosin cytoskeleton. The results suggested that myosin II activity\, actin polymerization\, and actin branching all contribute to cortex tension and intracellular pressure\, whereas the cortical elastic modulus is more dependent on myosin II activity. Subsequently\, I developed a novel noncontact AFM method to measure the apical surface tension\, fluidity\, and intercellular adhesive forces in polarized epithelia. This study demonstrated dramatic changes in epithelial mechanics of the adherent junctional complex after depletion of the tight junction proteins zonula occludens 1 and 2. Lastly\, I extended the noncontact AFM method to determine the elastic stiffness and viscous damping of stereocilia bundles in the inner ear sensory cells. The results suggested that deletion of the horizontal top connectors in the outer hair cells dramatically reduces the bundle mechanics\, which correlates with other studies showing that absence of top connectors eliminates bundle cohesion and the waveform distortion products.\nAltogether\, these novel noninvasive AFM methods\, designed to measure cell and monolayer mechanical properties are easily and generally applicable to a large variety of cell based experiments and should dramatically improve our understanding of how changes in mechanical properties are associated with critical cellular processes\, development\, and disease progression.

First\, I will describe a mission concept\, called CONNection EXplorer (CONNEX)\, to connect magnetospheric physical processes to auroral phenomena. CONNEX is based on an electron beam fired from a magnetospheric spacecraft along magnetic field lines and optically imaging the beam spot in the ionosphere. The mitigation steps undertaken for the successful development of CONNEX will be discussed\, with a particular focus on a scheme for mitigating critical issues of spacecraft charging induced by the electron beam. Second\, I will discuss application of relativistic electron beams for radiation belt remediation. In this context\, electron beams can excite plasma waves that can be exploited via wave-particle interaction to reduce hazardous fluxes of energetic particles to safer levels. I will also touch upon innovative numerical tools being used in support of these activities.\n\nGian Luca Delzanno obtained his MS in Nuclear Engr.

His research interests are in theoretical and computational plasma physics. His work addresses development of numerical methods for multi-scale plasma physics simulations with application to space-physics. The latter include the SHIELDS project to develop global space-weather models of the near-Earth environment including substorm physics\, the CONNEX project to study magnetosphere-ionosphere-coupling with relativistic electron beams\, and wave-particle-interaction physics.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

He will suggest a tentative periodization\, emphasizing the medieval period (5th-18th cc. C.E.) and the successive periods of the influence of Father Mikayel Chamchian in the late early modern era (late 18th-mid-19th cc.)\, historism (late 19th c.-1920)\, and Soviet Marxism (1920-1991)\, culminating in the present era of post-Soviet independence (from 1991). \n \nDr. Ara Sanjian is an Associate Professor of History and the Director of the Armenian Research Center at the University of Michigan\, Dearborn.

Frequency combs revolutionized optical frequency metrology and enabled optical atomic clocks while multidimensional coherent spectroscopy became a powerful tool for studying dynamics on ultrafast time scales in atomic\, molecular and solid-state systems. Inspired by a method known as \"dual comb spectroscopy\"\, we have recently combined these two developments by demonstrating comb-based multidimensional coherent spectroscopy\, which leverages the best aspects of both.\n UID:49901-11569059@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49901 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180131T093004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180214T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180214T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Round Table. The Future of International Justice: Lessons from the Yugoslav Tribunal DESCRIPTION:II Round Tables promote informed discussion on current world events and issues. This round table will examine the legacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the future of international prosecution of severe human rights violations. Established in 1993 by the United Nations Security Council\, ICTY was the first international court to prosecute war crimes since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials. With 161 indictments in 24 years\, including notable political and military leaders\, the ICTY boasts substantial accomplishments\, and its impact extends beyond legal and political domains to the realm of psychological and sexual violence. As its official activities draw to a close\, what are the lasting legacies of the ICTY\, and how have subsequent international justice efforts been influenced? \n\nThe panel of four experts have direct experience in the ICTY and/or other international justice approaches. They will discuss their own experiences at the international courts and the future of international justice.\n\nModerator:\nSusan Waltz\nGerald R.

In the last few years\, it has been emerged as a primary candidate material for various photovoltaic\, optoelectronic and photoelectronic applications. In just a few years\, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cells has been improved from 3.8% to >22%. Moreover\, the solar cell fabrication processes based on the planar architecture have been particularly enthusiastic thanks to their low temperature fabrication and compatibility with a range of substrates. Comparing solution deposition and vacuum deposition\, the vacuum processes for thermal co-deposition and sequential deposition of PbCl2 and CH3NH3I materials are recognized as efficient means to prepare perovskite film with good uniformity and high surface coverage. \nA vacuum deposition process has been developed to fabricate high efficiency perovskite solar cells with high stability using alternating layer-by-layer vacuum deposition. The new deposition process allows us to relax the strict deposition monitoring and control measures\, while realizing superior uniformity in film morphology\, surface coverage and smoothness\, together with crystalline phase purity. More importantly\, we have developed a superior low temperature TiO2 coating and transferred the cell fabrication process onto lightweight flexible polymeric substrate. Our current status for the rigid thin film cell efficiency is 22% and that for the flexible device over 18.3%\, both are the highest for their respective category. Meanwhile\, the devices show very good stability over long term exposure in ambient with very low degradation. After a representative cell was exposed in ambient lab condition for a year\, its final cell efficiency is as high as over 95% of its initial efficiency with its degradation accounts for only smaller than 5%. Further analysis on the stability of the perovskite solar cells will be discussed.\nWe have also developed a series of single-crystalline perovskites with superior stability and optoelectronic performance.\n\nReferences： \n[1] D.

How this Question Divided Ancient Jews and Christians DESCRIPTION:West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Jews and Judaism in Antiquity\n\nResearch into the “parting of the ways” between ancient Jews and Christians typically focuses on the ideological borders constructed by ancient authors. However\, these writings obscure the experience of non-elites\, for whom the exigencies of daily life – such as the health of one’s family – may have overshadowed rhetorical concerns. Rabbinic and patristic authors used rituals intended to preserve or restore health as a means of distinguishing Jews and Christians\, reflecting a common belief that ritual cures were miracles if they took place within one’s own community and magic if they took place outside it. Nevertheless\, Roman and late antique evidence from Israel suggests that non-elites were undeterred by this rhetoric and were willing to experiment with seemingly beneficial rituals\, such as the use of amulets\, even if they were similar to ones popular among foreign religious or cultural groups.\n\nPhoto Credit: Walters Art Museum [Public domain\, CC BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0) or GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html)]\, via Wikimedia Commons UID:47149-10801984@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47149 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180214T121539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180214T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Faculty Recital: Stephen Shipps\, violin and Martin Katz\, piano DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled from 2/9.\n\nPROGRAM: Pasquali- Ysaÿe Sonata\; Ysaÿe- Poème Elegiaque\, Reve d’Enfant\; Chopin- Ysaÿe Waltz\; Bloch- Baal Shem Suite\; Chausson- Poème UID:49919-11577476@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49919 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180119T131200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180214T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:My Folky Valentine DESCRIPTION:This annual lovefest hosted by Annie & Rod Capps ( http://annieandrodcapps.com )\, features good friends who are couples that also happen to make beautiful music together.
