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.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

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:47322-10866228@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

The symposium endeavors to consider the ways in which these spaces have become increasingly racialized\, diagnose how that racialization impedes their basic functioning\, and reimagine these spaces at their best\, and our world as a more human dwelling place. James Baldwin gave us this name\, embedded in his imperative “to illuminate that darkness\, blaze roads through vast forests\, so that we will not\, in all our doing\, lose sight of its purpose\, which is\, after all\, to make the world a more human dwelling place.”\n\nThe symposium will bring together individuals working to better these spaces\, hailing from many disciplines\, including law\, history\, sociology\, journalism\, literature\, architecture\, urban planning\, and visual art. Together\, we hope to conceptualize forgotten or not yet dreamed of alternatives. Through discussions of projects already realized and ideas not yet concrete\, we will collectively inch toward the world we wish to inhabit. \n\nThe symposium is free and open to the public. All are welcome. \n\nPlease register to attend at https://madeleine-jennings.squarespace.com/register/.

Belief and Action: The Subjects of Islamic Studies DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Zaid Adhami\, assistant professor of religion\, Williams College\; Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history\, U-M\; Sarah Eltantawi\, assistant professor of religion\, Evergreen State College\; Hussein Fancy\, associate professor of history\, U-M\; Juliane Hammer\, associate professor of religion\, University of North Carolina\; Rudolph Ware\, associate professor of history\, U-M\n\nOver the past generation\, Islamic studies in North America has undergone a dramatic shift. In nineteenth-century Europe\, Orientalism embraced the study of the histories\, cultures\, and religions of lands from the southern and eastern Mediterranean through Central Asia and into the Indian subcontinent. Orientalist scholars typically were not themselves natives of any of these regions\; nor were they themselves Muslims. In the course of the last two centuries\, Orientalism has been atomized: divided into distinct fields of regional and disciplinary studies. At the same time\, the study of Islam—the religion\, the culture\, and the civilization—has gone global\; scholars today study the history\, current state\, and future of Islam and Muslims worldwide. And today\, students and teachers of Islamic studies are much more likely to come from within the tradition: born to Muslim families or in Muslim-majority regions\, or converts to the faith. Yet in the field of Islamic studies—as in other religious studies disciplines—scholars struggle to account for the subject of their inquiry. They debate the focus of Islamic atudies: societies\, cultures\, or religion itself. They seek a scholarly vocabulary to talk about belief\, and to think together about the relationship between belief\, scholarship\, and pedagogy. And they debate the role that action and activism plays for scholars in the field. \n\nAt this workshop\, we will convene a group of scholars from U-M and other North American universities to discuss the genealogy\, current state\, and future of Islamic studies in North American universities. How has Islamic studies evolved over the last two centuries? How has the rising number of Muslim scholars in the field changed the nature of our scholarship? What changes must still happen\, in order to provide leadership within American universities and in American society at large? How does scholarship intersect with action\, activism\, and advocacy? How can Islamic studies serve as a model for programs of religious studies in general? This workshop will consist of a series of roundtable discussions\, structured in order to facilitate discussion. Each roundtable will pair two scholars working in disparate regions\, disciplines\, and historical periods. Each participant will speak for about ten minutes\, followed by a conversation among scholars and attendees. The workshop is designed to facilitate free-ranging\, creative discussion\, and to integrate the audience in all discussions\, in order to take stock of the field and generate a productive discussion of our future.

Marine biomineralization mechanisms are only beginning to be understood\, are often surprising\, and important to understand the evolution of biomineralizers and their interactions with their environments.\n In this seminar I will describe one mechanism of crystallization by attachment of amorphous particles to fresh\, forming coral skeletons\, and their subsequent crystallization into aragonite crystals. Unprecedented crystal orientation patterns as the one displayed here\, analyzed and displayed using Polarization-dependent Imaging Contrast (PIC) mapping\, reveal that the crystals are spherulitic\, that is\, elongated\, and radiating from centers or lines. Spherulites fill 3D space at greater speed than any other crystal growth mode\, thus this is Nature’s 3D-printing.

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.

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.

However\, existing algorithms for mathematical optimization\, which is one of the critical core component in these techniques\, often prove ineffective for scaling to the extent of all available data. This talk introduces our recent work on random projection methods in the context of distributed optimization of convex and non-convex objectives to address this challenge. First\, we establish the theoretical relation between complexity and optimality in convex optimization. We provide a general information-theoretic lower bound on any method that is based on random projection\, which surprisingly shows that the most widely used form of random projection is\, in fact\, statistically sub-optimal. We then present a novel method\, which iteratively refines the solutions to achieve statistical optimality and generalize our method to optimizing arbitrary convex functions of a large data matrix. We also discuss distributed variants of the random projection methods which can be considered as a novel improvement of the Alternating Directions Method of Multipliers (ADMM) for distributed optimization. Moreover\, due to the special structure of random projection\, it is possible to speed up computation even further using dedicated hardware implementations such as graphical processing units (GPUs). Secondly\, we consider a general class of non-convex optimization problems that arise in neural networks and phaseless imaging problems. We prove that the randomized second order optimization method with a suitable initialization recovers the global optimum under mild assumptions. We demonstrate that the proposed methods enable solving large scale convex and non-convex machine learning\, statistical inference and inverse problems orders of magnitude faster than existing methods.

Unfortunately it can be difficult to obtain reliable information about how to make the transition and what to expect on the other side. In my talk\, I will draw from my own experiences and those of my colleagues to give you a sense of life in the quantitative financial world. I will survey the different sectors of the financial industry\, the firms that inhabit them\, the structure of financial markets\, and asset categories. I will describe how to prepare for interviews and what to expect during the interview process\, the skills that are generally required on the job\, and a typical workday. Career transitions are deeply personal decisions\, so I will talk about ethical issues and some points to ponder if you find yourself considering a move to finance.\n UID:48983-11342268@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48983 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180218T120023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan State Tournament DESCRIPTION:Water Polo Tournament at Michigan State University in East Lansing\, MI  UID:49199-11679077@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49199 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:IM Sports West Building MSU CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180303T063020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Sales Track: Consultations with former Google and Yelp Sales Professional DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

The security of the men and women serving in these missions—and of the weapons\, ammunition\, and equipment in their possession—is frequently at risk. Peacekeepers have lost thousands of weapons and millions of rounds of ammunition. Moreover\, much of this loss was likely preventable. \n\nEric Berman (B.A. 1986) is the director of Small Arms Survey\, a global centre of excellence whose mandate is to generate evidence-based\, impartial\, and policy-relevant knowledge on all aspects of small arms and armed violence. Previously\, he has worked at the United Nations\, The UN Transitional Authority of Cambodia\, the UN Office at Geneva\, and the UN International Commission of Inquiry (Rwanda).\n\nJoin the political science grad on Friday\, February 16 at 2 p.m. for an Alumni Connections session where he will talk about the Making Peace Operations More Effective (MPOME) project and how it will deepen the understanding of lost materials from peace operations and develop mechanisms to improve security and administrative oversight.

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:48737-11297791@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:20180215T154539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T150000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DocDi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Details to follow UID:50113-11644892@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50113 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Graduate,Graduate Students,Language LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 473 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180115T083318 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DQSN Workshop: Josh Morrison (SAC) DESCRIPTION:Please join Doing Queer Studies Now for a dissertation chapter workshop with Josh Morrison (Screen Arts & Cultures).

Despite these advances\, clinically useful radiotracers lie within a narrow accessible space with [18F]fluoroalkanes and [18F]fluoroarenes at the forefront. Many potentially high value PET 18F-labeled tracers and drugs lie outside this radiochemical space\, and the ability to test tracers not amenable to traditional or newly developed 18F-labeling intervention would be a major boost for PET imaging. A more diverse range of 18F-tags could immediately serve medicinal chemists by informing the selection of lead compounds much earlier in the drug discovery pipeline. This lecture will present our general approach to late stage 18F-fluorination and the recent contribution we have made to this field of research with the labeling of a range of 18F-tags for PET. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nVeronique Gouverneur (University of Oxford) UID:48624-11264839@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48624 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chem CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180129T100050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Organization Resource Fair DESCRIPTION:Join CCI for our Resource Fair.

When the chnge of Hamiltonian is fast but not instantaneous (so called fast quenches) the dynamics often can be described in terms of the UV fixed point\, thus leading to universal predictions. We employ conformal perturbation theory to calculate the behavior of various quantities (one and two point functions) during and after the quench. Furthermore\, by calculating the energy fluctuations after the quench we argue that at late times the system will thermalize\, provided it satisfies the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis.

In recent years\, earthquakes in Christchurch-New Zealand (2010-2011)\, Tohoku-Japan (2011)\, Muisne-Ecuador (2016)\, have caused widespread liquefaction resulting in unacceptable settlement\, tilt and deformation of buildings\, especially those on shallow foundations. Field observations from such events provide valuable information about the behavior of soil and the response of structures\, but a scarcity of instrumentation means that detailed recordings of the soil and structure responses from the time of the earthquake are lacking. Data is especially sparse regarding the performance and effectiveness of liquefaction mitigation strategies. Numerical and experimental studies have been performed at the University of Colorado Boulder to generate new case histories under controlled conditions. This presentation will summarize trends from both physical and numerical models\, focusing on how structural performance is affected by some common liquefaction mitigation approaches UID:46207-10418370@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46207 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lecture LOCATION:1100 North University Building - 1528 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170803T095534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180216T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Reactive Viewing: Screens and Publics in 21st Century India DESCRIPTION:Film and television in India have engendered excessive responses from sections of the audience for well over half a century now. There are well-documented studies of such excesses in the domains of film star fandom and popular devotion alike. In the more recent past\, screen images have been accused of causing violence and even death (of viewers either due to shock or suicide). Recent scholarship on print media expands the field of audience excesses by suggesting that newspapers and magazines are not far behind as triggers of violence. And none of this research is even referring to the minefield of social media outrage. Although it should not come as a surprise to researchers that contemporary publics do not easily fit into the Habsermasian conception of the public sphere\, literature on old and new media continue to be framed by it. Furthermore\, the spectatorial response that constitutes screen publics in our time is not satisfactorily explained by concepts such as darsan\, corpothetics and the active audience. I examine the evolving texts and contexts of film star fandom to argue that forms of engagement characteristic of fan activity offer insights into present day media publics—even those that have nothing do with either stars or the cinema. \n \nS.V.

Crossroads\, Crossings\, and Transgressions: Deconstructing Borders and Barriers in Southeast Asian/American Studies DESCRIPTION:While Southeast Asia has long been a crossroad of influences and transnational movements\, the rise of Asia-Pacific as an economic and political power center has brought increased attention to regional dynamics\, transnational connections\, processes and practices. Transnational flows of people\, goods\, capital\, and ideas have engendered optimism about exchange\, interdependence\, and understanding\, while persisting conflicts over resources\, territorial claims\, and national belonging have animated the discourse about borders\, boundaries\, lines of differentiation and stratification\, crossings and transgressions in the examination of both the causes and consequences of conflict. These new im/mobilities and spatialities\, in turn\, compel a re-thinking of prevailing approaches and epistemologies that have been delimited by disciplinary boundaries.\n\nThis talk maps and interrogates the ways in which global and regional forces and dynamics inform new im/mobilities\, spatialities\, and belongings\, and the negotiations that Southeast Asian individuals and communities have to engage at multiple levels and in multiple arenas. It is particularly attentive to the linkages between macro forces and the micro politics of the everyday struggle to survive and resist. It critiques and problematizes the binary between area and Ethnic/American Studies\, and argues for a more expansive analytical approach that focuses on continuum\, intersectionality\, and relationality between peoples\, communities\, histories\, and fields of study without abandonment of historical\, contextual\, and experiential specificities. \n \nProfessor Khatharya Um is Associate Professor and Program Coordinator of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies\, and affiliated faculty of Global Studies\, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies and the Center for Race and Gender.

Her works reconfigure the everyday to retune habits of our ears through sound\, text\, light\, image\, and movement. For over a decade\, her study of the guqin\, the 7-string zither traditionally played for private meditation in nature\, has informed her thinking on listening in social spaces. Her work has been presented in 23 countries and described by The New York Times as “the evening’s most consistently alluring … a quiet but lush meditation.” \n\nCo-sponsored by the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan.
