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.

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:47322-10866227@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

He is a founding partner in the research-based practice RVTR. Thün holds an M.U.D. from the University of Toronto\, and a Professional B.Arch. and B.E.S. from the University of Waterloo. He uses a complex systems approach in his work\, which ranges in scale from high performance buildings\, to cities and regional territories. \n\nDrawing from examples of Thün’s work\, contemporary practice\, and what he perceives as the frontiers of research in architecture and urban design\, this talk will outline a manifesto for a future of design for the built environment based upon principles of ecological and complex systems. \n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us. The next lecture series will start March 8\, 2018. The title is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications.

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.

This talk examines how Japanese occupiers separated out nomadic and sedentary livelihoods along a new internal border through population transfers and rural development. Here\, Japanese imperialism transformed an earlier policy of assimilation into a blueprint for establishing zones of ethnic autonomy. Inner Mongolia later became the first of these zones in 1947. Instead of only seeing the origins of Communist rule as forged in the fires of war against imperialism\, this talk points to the significance of the Japanese occupation in shaping the ethnic and ecological bounds of modern China. \n \nSakura Christmas is an Assistant Professor of History and Asian Studies at Bowdoin College. A scholar of modern Japan\, she focuses on the history of imperialism\, the environment\, and the borderlands. She is currently revising her first book\, \"Nomadic Borderlands: Imperial Japan and the Origins of Ethnic Autonomy in China\".

This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act\, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

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:48737-11297790@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:20180219T000032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180215T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180215T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Golden State Invitational DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a weekend of sun\, celebs\, surfer boys\, and SLAYYYYING with Michigan LAX!I know it's sad\, we won't be in the great city of Ann Arbor for Winterfest.... butWHO CARES?

Wooldridge\nArthur F. Thurnau Professor \nDepartments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\nDirector\, Dow Sustainability Fellows Program\nUniversity of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\nFull seminar title - Successfully integrating sustainable fuels into the transportation sector – or why I like ethanol\n\nThe barriers to changing the fuels that currently power the transportation infrastructure are diverse and significant. However\, transitioning to sustainable fuels offers many benefits if fuel properties are leveraged well. In this presentation\, current fossil fuel use is briefly reviewed framing the challenges and motivation to move away from fossil fuels and towards low carbon renewable fuels. Bridging the gap between fundamental studies of fuel properties and engineering applications is critical to maximizing the benefits and minimizing the unforeseen effects of changing fuels. Experimental results spanning from the fundamental combustion chemistry of ethanol to the convolution of chemistry\, spray and mixing properties of ethanol\, and the impact of ethanol in engine studies are presented. The key outcomes from each study are highlighted particularly in the context of how results are transferred to technology implementation. \n\nBiographical Sketch\nProfessor Margaret Wooldridge is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering and the Director of the Dow Sustainability Fellow Program at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She received her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford University in 1995\; her M.S.M.E. in 1991 from S.U. and her B.S. M.E. degree from the University of Illinois at Champagne/Urbana in 1989. Prof. Wooldridge’s research program spans diverse areas where high-temperature chemically reacting systems are critical\, including power and propulsion systems\, fuel chemistry\, and synthesis methods for advanced nanostructured materials. She is a 2013 recipient of the Department of Energy Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for exceptional contributions to the DOE mission to advance national\, economic\, and energy security of the U.S. She is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)\, and the recipient of numerous honors including the ASME George Westinghouse Silver Medal\, ASME Pi Tau Sigma Gold Medal\, an NSF Career Award\, and the SAE Ralph R.

Studies are presented testing hypotheses derived from this approach which explore how pictures differ from words\, how persuasion can be conceptualized as the dynamic destabilization of behavioral states\, how action perception theories reshape our understanding of what we remember from media\, and how video games function to destabilize real world behavioral attractors and create game attractors through action in a virtual world.

Organisms face massive biotic and abiotic variability and only rarely experience their optimal conditions. How all this variability influences population and community ecology is poorly understood. In this talk\, I explore how plant trait diversity affects the performance and population dynamics of insect herbivores. First\, I use a meta-analysis to show that variance in plant nutrient levels reduces insect herbivore performance\, suggesting that plant diversity suppresses insects\, while monocultures benefit insects. Second\, I use a natural plant-herbivore system to show that average plant quality can be less important than variance in plant quality for insect population dynamics. Finally\, I present preliminary results from a new experimental approach to studying the consequences of trait variability along specific trait axes.

This talk chronicles this important microcosm of creolization using the experiences of Blacks enslaved on Combahee River rice plantations and freed in the 1863 raid to create a model of cultural change among New World African cultures and their complicated and nuanced relationships to pre-colonial Western Africa\, their environments\, and the plantation economies in which they were enslaved. \n\nEdda L. Fields-Black is an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Department of History). Fields-Black is the author of Deep Roots: Rice Farmers in West Africa and the African Diaspora (2008\, 2014). With Francesca Bray\, Peter Coclanis\, and Dagmar Schaeffer\, Fields-Black co-edited Rice: Global Networks and New Histories (2015\, 2017)\, which won Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2015. She is currently writing Combee: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and the Construction of Gullah Geechee Identity\, which chronicles an important microcosm of creolization using the experiences of Blacks enslaved on Combahee River rice plantations and freed in the 1863 raid to create a model of cultural change among New World African cultures and their complicated and nuanced relationships to pre-colonial Western Africa\, their environments\, and the plantation economies in which they were enslaved. For her research on the Gullah Geechee\, Fields-Black was awarded a Smithsonian Senior Fellowship at the in the Spring semester of 2013\, an Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowship for the 2013-2014 academic year\, and a Senior Ford Foundation Fellowship for the 2017-2018 academic year. \n\nIn addition\, Fields-Black is currently collaborating with filmmaker Julie Dash and composer Dr. Trevor Weston to produce Casop: A Requiem for Rice\, a lamentation for the repose of the souls of the dead who were enslaved\, exploited\, and brutalized on Lowcountry South Carolina and Georgia’s rice plantations and who remain unburied\, unmourned\, and unmarked. Fields-Black is writing the libretto on which Casop is based. Opening in 2018\, this musical production for symphony orchestra\, choir\, and West African drummers and dancers will memorialize the sufferings and sacrifices of Africans enslaved on Lowcountry South Carolina and Georgia Rice plantations and celebrate the critical role their ingenuity\, technology\, and industry played in the economy of the US South. \n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.
