SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS): Home Literacy Environment of Spanish-Speaking Latino Families
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this study was to contextualize the measurement of the home literacy environment (HLE) for Spanish-speaking Latino families. This was accomplished by using a series of HLE items to characterize the potential heterogeneity in the HLE of Spanish-speaking families as well as by examining differences in the HLE based on caregiver’s language proficiency\, income\, and education level. The specific aims were: (1) to characterize distinct classes of the home literacy environment of Spanish-speaking Latino households for a sample of children from Kindergarten to Grade 2\; (2) to assess the predictive ability of caregiver’s English proficiency\, caregiver’s income\, and caregiver’s education on class membership\; (3) to examine the predictive ability of the resulting HLE classes on a child-level reading outcome in Grade 2\; and (4) to describe evidence of stability or change in the HLE profiles across the first three years of formal schooling (i.e.\, Kindergarten to Grade 2). Methodologically\, this study focused on the application of Latent Class Analysis (LCA) using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study – 2011 cohort (ECLS-K: 2011). Findings revealed different levels of HLE supports (low\, moderate\, and high). Three latent classes characterized Kindergarten and four latent classes characterized Grade 2. Covariates predicted class membership in different and interesting ways that helped further characterize the HLE classes. For the most part\, there were no significant differences in the various class means of the Grade 2 reading outcome. Across time\, there appears to be some mobility of families going from a low to a higher HLE support. Implications of findings and future directions will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era showcases the works of Heidi Barlow\, Shaina Kasztelan\, and Bailey Scieszka\, three young women artists based in Detroit\, MI. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

DESCRIPTION:\"Ruth Gruber\, Photojournalist\" celebrates the remarkable life\, vision\, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. 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. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.\n\nPhoto: Unidentified Photographer\; Ruth Gruber\, Alaska\, 1941-43

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminars | Quantum Curves and Q-deformed Painlevé Equations
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will first review some aspects of Painlevé equations and their connection to four dimensional gauge theory\; then I will generalise this construction to q-difference Painlevé equations and topological string theory. I will show that their tau-functions are Fredholm determinant of operators associated to quantum mirror curves on a corresponding geometry. As a consequence\, the zeroes of these tau-functions compute the exact spectrum of the associated quantum integrable systems. I will focus on the particular example of q-Painlevé III_3 which is related to topological string on local P1xP1 and to relativistic Toda system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Encyclopedic “I”: Zhang Han (1510 – 1593) Views the World from Retirement
DESCRIPTION:Zhang Han (张瀚) had an official career that had spanned forty years and taken him all over the empire\, from the Nanjing shipyards to Fujian\, Shaanxi\, Sichuan\, and the capital. He was a man who knew many things. After retiring to Hangzhou\, he tells us\, “I spent long days at the Pine Window\, writing things out as the brush goes\, partly to examine into myself\, and partly to pass down to those who come after me.” The result was his Dream Talk by the Pine Window (松窗梦语). There was a history of such works going back at least to the Song\; they are generally categorized as biji or “brush records\,” a genre so broad in name as to be almost useless\, and they are usually miscellanies with no sense of organization. Zhang Han’s Pine Window\, however\, begins with a geographic overview of the empire based on his travels as an official\, and runs neatly through the universe down to his dreams and examination of self. It thus is both a personal memoir and a comprehensive encyclopedia of knowledge. What does that suggest is worth passing down from a life? Is an official what he knows? If a memoir becomes an encyclopedia\, does its writer disappear? And where does this lie in the Ming dynasty landscape of organized knowledge?\n\nAbout the speaker: \n\nPhilip Kafalas is an associate professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures in the College\, and a member of the faculty advisory committee for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues. Kafalas published In Limpid Dream: Nostalgia and Zhang Dai’s Reminiscences of the Ming (2007). His teaching and research interests center on classical and pre-modern Chinese literature\, as well as advanced modern Chinese language.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Study the Cosmic Rays with the AMS Experiment on the International Space Station
DESCRIPTION:The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a particle spectrometer on board of the International Space Station. It measures the charge\, energy and momentum of charged cosmic rays with unprecedented precisions from 1GV to a few TV in rigidity. AMS has collected and analyzed more than 100 billion cosmic ray events during 6 years of operation since May 2011. In this talk we report the latest AMS measurements of the cosmic ray spectra of electron\, positron\, proton\, antiproton\, and light nuclei\, including He\, Li\, Be\, B\, and C\, O. Unexpected characteristics of the spectra are observed. They provide important new inputs for the study of fundamental physics as well as understanding the mechanism of cosmic ray acceleration and propagation.\n\nBiosketch: Yuan-Hann Chang is a professor in the Physics Department of the National Central University\, Chung-Li\, Taiwan. He received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His professional interests are experimental particle physics. In the past 30 years\, he participated particle experiments including L3\, PHOBOS\, and CMS\, and astroparticle experiments NCT and AMS. He is currently a member of the AMS collaboration.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | From 1988 Seoul to 2018 Pyeongchang: What Have We Learned in Hosting Mega Events?
DESCRIPTION:If hosting a mega sport event is a measure of success in the sport system of a nation\, South Korea is one of sport powerhouses that have hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics\, the FIFA World Cup\, and the IAAF World Championships (track and field event). Hosting cities often experience drastic makeovers with an enhanced civic infrastructure but also are left with white elephant stadiums and huge debt. Pyeongchang is no exception. While the 1988 Seoul Olympics were a resounding success with millions of South Koreans attending events and tuning in on television\, critics concern that the Pyeongchang Games will not receive such national support. The Pyeongchang Olympics Organizing Committee (OOC) has been struggling with slow ticket sales and lack of enthusiasm from the public. Geopolitics and escalating tensions with North Korea aside\, I will review other reasons for the lack of interest. In addition\, I will briefly review the development of sport system in Korea between the two Olympics and lessons we can learn from hosting the Winter Games. \n    \nDae Hee Kwak is an Associate Professor of Sport Management in the School of Kinesiology. His research focuses on sport consumer behavior and consumer psychology. He has published in numerous articles in sport management and marketing outlets and recently co-edited a book \"Sport in Korea: History\, Development\, Management\" (Routledge). He is currently the director of the Center for Sport Marketing Research at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Out of Bounds? Testing for Long Run Relationships under Uncertainty Over Univariate Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:  Pesaran\, Shin\, and Smith (2001) (PSS) proposed a bounds procedure for testing for the existence of long run relationships between a unit root ependent variable (y_t) and a set of weakly exogenous regressors x_t when the analyst does not know whether the independent variables are stationary\, unit root\, or mutually cointegrated processes. This procedure recognizes the analyst's uncertainty over the nature of the regressors but not the dependent variable. We extend their analysis to the case where the analyst is uncertain whether y_t is a stationary or unit root process. In this case\, the  test statistics proposed by PSS are uninformative for inference on the existence of a long run relationship between y_t and x_t. We propose the LRM test statistic as an alternative. Using stochastic simulations\, we demonstrate the behavior of the test statistic given uncertainty about the univariate dynamics of both y_t and x_t\, illustrate the bounds of the test statistic\, and generate small sample and approximate asymptotic critical values for the upper and lower bounds for a range of sample sizes and model specifications. We demonstrate the utility of the bounds procedure by re-examining the relationship between economic conditions and domestic policy mood.\n\nYou can see the list of upcoming speakers on our website [https://www.isr.umich.edu/cps/events/isqm/].

But expectation is growing in Russia that this will be his last term as President\, opening a Pandora’s box of uncertainty and competing succession scenarios with broad consequences for Russia’s internal direction\, and external ambitions.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nJohn R. Beyrle served as an American diplomat for three decades in a career focused on the Soviet Union and Russia\, and Central and Eastern Europe. He was twice appointed ambassador: to Bulgaria (2005-08)\, and to Russia (2008-12).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:War\, Medicine\, and Cultural Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:Simone P. Kropf (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation/Fiocruz\, Brazil)\nJoel D. Howell (University of Michigan)\n\nThe United States and Brazil became close allies in World War II\, not only in political\, economic and military issues\, but also in social and cultural ones\, including science. Inter-American cultural diplomacy aimed to promote “hemispheric solidarity” against Nazism created channels through which scientific ideas and technologies could circulate. This talk is about one of those flows\, between the University of Michigan Medical School and Brazilian physicians engaged in the study and treatment of heart disease. Frank Wilson was a pioneer in electrocardiography who trained many Latin Americans in his laboratory at the University of Michigan. In 1942\, he made an extended wartime visit to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo sponsored by the US Department of State as part of Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor Policy. The visit brought Wilson together with a group of physicians engaged in constructing the specialty of cardiology in Brazil. This initiative strengthened an academic network that would benefit both sides. While affiliation with the “Wilson school” advanced the cause of Brazilian cardiologists who sought to establish themselves as specialists\, cooperation with those “neighbors from the South” and the identity as a scientific ambassador to Latin America benefited Wilson in his pursuit of international recognition for his ECG innovations. Wilson’s relationship to Brazilian cardiology illustrates close relations between science\, technology and politics in a context of wartime cultural diplomacy\, as well as the dynamics of the transnational circulation of scientific knowledge and practices.\n\nThis research was supported by the UM Brazil Initiative at the Center of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) (website: https://www.ii.umich.edu/lacs/brazil-initiative.html)\, the Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz\, Brazil).\n\nSimone P. Kropf holds a PhD in History from the Universidade Federal Fluminense\, in Brazil\, and is a professor in the Graduate Program of the History of Sciences and Health in Oswaldo Cruz Foundation\, in Rio de Janeiro. She is currently pursuing a postdoctoral research visit at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS). She has written about the history of biomedical sciences in Brazil in the 20th century. She is currently doing research on the cultural and educational exchanges between the University of Michigan and Latin American countries between 1938 and 1945\, in the context of the Pan-Americanism movement and the Good Neighbor Policy.\n\nJoel D. Howell\, MD\, PhD is a faculty member in the Department of History and Internal Medicine\, and is the Victor C. Vaughan Professor of History of Medicine at the University of Michigan. His primary research interest is in the use of medical technology in the 19th and 20th centuries.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Tale of Two Cities
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a drawing (see attached) created by Chinese realist painter Wang Shikuo (1911-1973)\, LRCCS distinguished artist Wang Qingsong will recreate the image as a photo shoot with a host of community and university volunteers at Highland Park on February 17th.  The following week on February 21\, Prof. Tang Xiaobing\, Helmut F. Stern Professor of Modern Chinese Studies and Comparative Literature\, with LRCCS Postodoctoral Fellow Jeffrey Javed will engage in a conversation with the artist on the staging\, meaning and historical background of the work.  Prof. Tang's latest book \"Visual Culture in Contemporary China: Paradigms and Shifts\"\, Cambridge University Press\, 2015.\, discusses \"The Bloodstained Shirt\" in detail.  Dr. Javed will highlight the political and social dynamics of mass violence in the early Maoist period.\n\nWang Qingsong's exhibit\,  \"Between Past and Future: Wang Qingsong 1999-2006\" has been extended through February 23 and will be the site of the artist/faculty conversation on Feb. 21\n\nIn the neighborhoods of Detroit\, extensive vacancy and abandonment have led to new ways that people remake disinvested space—ruins voyeurism gives way to residents\, artists\, and entrepreneurs curating spaces in their own vision and as template for the future of the city. By comparing Beijing and Detroit\, Qingsong seeks to mix these two cities’ stories together\, creating a new overtone for the ongoing challenges of global societies. This project contributes to the hope for another narrative to city building\, one that uncovers traces of the past\, its erasures and demolitions\, while engaging with the community through artistic practice to construct a new\, vibrant vision for urban regeneration. \n\nWANG Qingsong is an artist\, educator and curator based in Beijing whose large format photographic works have been exhibited across the globe at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries www.wangqingsong.com. He has created a series of works showing the history of once glorious cities-the lost memories found behind broken walls\, deserted warehouses and closed doors. Just as Beijing\, an ancient city brimming with history and tradition\, has experienced the disruption and destruction of rapid modernism\, so Qingsong finds Detroit grappling with a similar history as it reconfigures itself for the future. \n\nWith support from U-M International Institute\, Penny W.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What is a Human?
DESCRIPTION:West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Jews and Judaism in Antiquity\n\nThis conversation between two scholars of ancient religious and scientific thought takes ancient Jewish\, Christian\, and pagan texts as a starting point for questioning what we can imagine the boundaries and limits of the human body to be.

SUMMARY:Performance:University Philharmonia Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Oriol Sans\, conductor\nPre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in lower lobby\n\nWhile Paul Hindemith was composing Mathis der Maler (Mathias the Painter) into a three movement symphony\, he was planning on expanding the music into what would eventually become an opera by the same name. The UPO will demonstrate the musical beauty of the piece: a tortuous atmosphere gives way to a celestial chant by the brass\, encapsulating the overall intensity. The unusual contrasts of the movements create a musical tribute to the panels of the very impressive Isenheim Altarpiece painted by the opera’s protagonist\, German painter Matthias Grünewald. \n\nPROGRAM- Haydn- Symphony No. 30\; Brahms- Haydn Variations\; Hindemith- Mathis der Mahler Symphony
