For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

Objects and their constituent materials are studied alongside their larger landscapes and built environments\, the bodily practices and disciplines that produced them\, and the sensory regimes and perceptual schemes in which they were embedded. \n\nThis two-day conference brings together scholars from across a range of disciplines to consider how people in the ancient Mediterranean world\, Jews among them\, related both to matter itself and to issues of materiality. How did they conceptualize the relationships between word and thing\, language and action\, text and artifact? How did they sense\, understand\, and construct material entities such as quotidian or sacred artifacts\, human or divine bodies\, built or natural environments\, and so on? How did non-Jews perceive or represent the relationships between Jews and matter? Finally\, how has the history of Jews and matter been reconstructed in modern scholarship and how might scholars approach the nexus of Jews and the material more productively? Presentations explore the profound interconnectedness within ancient (Jewish) culture among things\, space\, and embodiment\, and will place these in dialogue with the signifying practices that are essential to cultural (and other kinds of) production.\n\nMonday\, April 9th\n\n9:00-9:15 Welcome: Jeffrey Veidlinger and Rachel Neis\n\n9:15-10:45 Panel I: Affects\n• Chaya Halberstam\, “Seeing and Feeling without Believing: Courtroom Spectacle and the Affective Landscape”\n• Karen Stern\, “Materiality of Emotion in Inscribed Jewish Prayers” \nRespondent and chair: C.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. 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.

In the \"xiqu\" (Chinese opera) play\, Chasing the Fish Spirit\, a dense series of rapid re-makes at the end of the 1950s put the complex interplay of these politics into full view\, pitting not just the play’s downtrodden against the wealthy or mortals against immortals\, but fame against obscurity\, city against country\, high culture against low\, and perhaps most riskily\, ideological critique against ideological correctness. The nexus of these different tensions forms the off-stage drama of how this once-closeted play from rural Hunan eventually made it through multiple adaptations onto silver screens for export to Hong Kong and abroad. \n \nAnne Rebull is a postdoctoral fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. Her research interests focus on political movements to reform indigenous Chinese theater in the modern era\, especially the periods before and after the founding of the People’s Republic. Her book project focuses on the practices of theatrical and filmic adaptation that were part of the reform movement in the early Socialist era\, and frames them within greater political debates on theatrical performance and representation. She earned her PhD from the University of Chicago in 2017.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe failure to align the incentives of conflictual groups in favor of peaceful coexistence and beneficial reforms is often seen as a major cause of persistent underdevelopment around the world. However\, much less is known about strategies that have been successful at overcoming such political economy challenges.

However\, much less is known about strategies that have been successful at overcoming such political economy challenges. One approach that holds much promise\, and in fact appears to have had some historical success\, is the provision of financial assets that align the interests of winners and potential losers from reform by providing claims on the future. This project analyzes the promise and limitations of financial instruments as a means for fostering broad political coalitions that favor peace and beneficial reforms. It takes as a departure point the benchmark theory of portfolio choice\, in which all agents hold the same (market) portfolio of risky assets. This may also align political incentives\, as all individuals can gain from policies that improve the returns or lower the risks of the market portfolio\, including risks stemming from political instability and conflict. The project then analyzes a range of historical cases in which the introduction of financial assets have succeeded or failed at making politics less conflictual over time\, focusing on three revolutionary states that subsequently led the world in economic growth: England\, the early United States and Meiji Japan. Next the project exploits a field experiments to test whether financial mechanisms can help raise support for peace in contemporary settings\, beginning with the case of Israel.

A period of intense social\, cultural\, and political upheaval\, it caused sharp change and forceful ruptures in some countries while providing an excuse for violent repression and return to the status quo in others. On the 50th anniversary of the 1968 European revolutions\, the Center for European Studies presents the events of 1968 through a film series and a round table discussion that will examine what these events meant for social actors then\, and how we remember them now. Panelists will address the historical significance of 1968 in France\, Germany\, and Czechoslovakia\, and discuss how these revolutions still shape these societies and Europe as a whole today. \n\nPanelists: Joshua Cole\, professor of history\; Jindrich Toman\, professor of Slavic languages & literatures\; Johannes von Moltke\, professor of German and screen arts & cultures\, U-M\n\nModerator: Geneviève Zubrzycki\, professor of sociology\; Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia and Center for European Studies director\n\nThe panel will be preceded by free films at the Michigan Theater on April 8-9: Marianne and Juliane (Die bleirne Zeit)\, May Fools (Milou en Mai)\, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

In the atmosphere\, the water content of the particles depends on their composition as well as the relative humidity and temperature. As crystalline salt particles are exposed to increasing relative humidity\, the deliquescence phase transition results in rapid formation of aqueous droplets at the deliquescence relative humidity (DRH). The DRH values of atmospheric salts are generally well predicted by theory. In contrast\, decreasing relative humidity results in particle morphologies and water content that are difficult to predict theoretically\, and must be measured in the laboratory. At sufficiently low relative humidity\, the droplets may undergo efflorescence (at the ERH)\, resulting in recrystallization of the salt particles. Hysteresis in water uptake and loss is often observed and the DRH can be very much higher than the ERH. Thus atmospheric salt particles are often assumed to be aqueous throughout much of their atmospheric lifetime. Here we use a long working distance optical trap to measure the deliquescence and efflorescence phase transitions of individual levitated salt particles. In addition\, we probe how efflorescence is influenced by collisions of the salt droplet with other particles and by immersion of solids within the droplet. We find that while both contact and immersion can promote efflorescence\, contact-induced efflorescence is by far more effective. These laboratory experiments challenge our theoretical understanding of nucleation in microscopic salt particles. In addition\, the experiments have implications for particle phase and water content of aerosols in the global atmosphere. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMargaret Tolbert (University of Colorado) UID:43565-9821428@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43565 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180402T093951 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180410T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180410T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health & Safety DESCRIPTION:Before your international travel\, learn what you need to stay healthy and safe.

This hard-working team re-imagines the ballads and dances of the UK and Europe\, uniquely blending elements of classical\, folk\, jazz\, funk and world music to create rich\, complex musical hybrids. With no shortage of virtuosity\, Nessa includes some of southeastern Michigan’s hottest players.

Nessa has a mystical\, dreamy side akin to the music of Loreena McKennitt\, an energetic aspect not unlike Solas\, and a touch of global fusion a la Pentangle and Eileen Ivers. Says Trinity House's Bill Keith: \"These world-class musicians bring the energy of world music\, the thought-provoking nature of folk music\, and the edge of rock to create something that is truly unique. You'll leave the show captivated by Kelly's beautiful voice and the stunning music of Nessa.\" UID:49121-11375508@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49121 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180322T121519 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180410T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Piano Chamber Music: Mad About Chamber Music DESCRIPTION:SMTD student chamber groups perform a variety of works at the Kerrytown Concert House.
