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 Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. 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. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:PhD Defense: Jungmoo Hah
DESCRIPTION:Co-Chair: Prof. Karl Krushelnick\nCo-Chair: Prof. Alexander Thomas\n\nAdvancements in laser technology over the last few decades have allowed progress in intense laser-plasma interaction research. The relativistic plasma generated by intense laser pulses can generate many different forms of radiation. This radiation\, including X-rays\, has been studied intensively due to the numerous potential applications of these sources. For example\, for Homeland Security\, radiation sources are already utilized to detect dangerous materials and hidden items that threaten civil safety. Neutrons and THz radiation have been studied as candidates for next generation screening\, which may complement typical X-ray techniques. This thesis contains three experimental studies of high-power laser-plasma interactions as sources of radiation for Homeland Security applications\, especially at kilohertz repetition-rates using few-millijoule pulses.\nFirst\, a neutron generation experiment was conducted using a high repetition-rate laser system (1⁄2 kHz) at the University of Michigan. A heavy water (D2O) stream was\nirradiated by 40 fs pulses\, each containing a few millijoules of energy. Acceleration of deuterons (to E < 1 MeV) was achieved through plasma sheath acceleration. Ensuing DD\nnuclear fusion reactions\, in turn\, generated neutron fluxes of up to 105 s−1. In order to understand the neutron source characteristics\, deuteron spectra were measured with CR39 detectors and compared to particle-in-cell (PIC) relativistic plasma dynamics simulations. The neutron source characteristics were analyzed using various neutron detection techniques\, including Time-of-Flight measurements\, bubble detectors\, and neutron-capture gamma-ray measurements.\nSecond\, THz generation from laser filamentation in air was investigated. For security applications\, THz can complement X-ray scanning\, because THz can detect non- metallic materials and dangerous chemicals while not ionizing the sample. Even though there have been extensive studies on THz generation from laser filamentation processes\, the exact generation mechanisms are yet to be determined. In the thesis\, optimization of THz radiation using an adaptive optic with active feedback was demonstrated. Using the genetic algorithm\, the THz radiation was improved six-fold without the need for detailed knowledge of the mechanisms. In particular\, the use of a high repetition-rate laser system accelerated the optimization of the THz signal. Another strength of this optimization system is that it can enhance certain THz generation mechanisms depending on the experimental circumstances.\nLastly\, using a nanosecond pulsed high-power laser system (10 Hz)\, a long-range detection technique was developed detection of special nuclear materials. Although direct detection of radiation from nuclear materials can be defeated by radiation shielding\, leakage of radiation-ionized gases can provide an alternative indicator of the existence of nuclear materials. For instance\, in the presence of ionizing radiation\, the ratio of ionized nitrogen to neutral nitrogen would be higher than in no-source air-plasma conditions. By inducing an optical breakdown (plasma) near a sample’s position\, the ionization levels of the surrounding air were analyzed. To enhance the detection efficiency\, an adaptive-optic feedback system was introduced with this ratio as a figure-of-merit. This resulted in a 50 % enhancement in the spectral ratio of the nitrogen lines. In addition\, aerosol-initiated plasma spectra were distinguished from the original air-breakdown plasma\, as a step toward practical deployment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ADDICTION: DEFINITION\, CAUSES\, AND TREATMENT
DESCRIPTION:Kirk J. Brower\, M.D.\, a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan (UM)\, is board-certified in both general and addiction psychiatry. He started the UM Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship Program in 1997\, which continues to train subspecialty physicians. He also co-founded UM Addiction Treatment Services (UMATS) and served as its first Executive Director from 2006-2016. He is a Fellow of both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Society of Addiction Medicine.\n\nThis lecture will define what is meant by addiction and substance use disorders as well as older\, out-of-vogue terms such as substance abuse and chemical dependency. Different models of addiction will be compared and contrasted such as the moral\, brain disease\, learning\, and self-medication models\, including their views of addiction causes and treatment.\n\nThis is the first of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction. The next lecture will be April 26. The title is Opioids in America: The Role of Surgery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Taking Responsibility for Racial Violence
DESCRIPTION:Co-Sponsored by Race\, Gender\, & Feminist Philosophy and Minorities and Philosophy\n\nAbstract: Patterns of racial violence have a systemic social dimension that requires going beyond the individual responsibilities of perpetrators of such violence and demanding accountability and responsiveness from the communities and institutions within which those patterns unfold. This talk will analyze different kinds of complicity with racial violence and will defend a view of shared responsibility that goes beyond the bystander model. Working toward community responses that are both reparative and preventive\, I argue for a kind of political mobilization and resistance against racial violence that I term epistemic activism\, which consists in contestatory practices that disrupt complicity with damaging social imaginaries and with the distortions in social perception that hide patterns of racial violence and perpetuate the vulnerabilities of racial minorities. Epistemic activism will be discussed by analyzing photo activism and the activist practices of organizations such as the NAACP and of social movements such as Black Lives Matter.

SUMMARY:Other:CANCELLED: Visible and Near-Infrared Emitting Lanthanide(III)-Based Compounds for Biological Applications
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                                                Trivalent lanthanide(III) ions\, Ln3+\, due to their specific electronic configuration ([Xe]4fn\, n = 0–14) and the shielding of their 4f orbitals by the outer 5s25p6 subshells exhibit unique optical properties\, in particular (i) sharp characteristic bands arising from f-f transitions in the entire spectrum from UV to near-infrared (NIR) domains\, the wavelengths of which are insignificantly affected by changes in the local microenvironment around Ln3+ (pH\, temperature\, hydrophilic and hydrophobic character of biological molecules) and (ii) long luminescence lifetimes compared to organic fluorophores (ns-µs or µs-ms range for NIR- or visible-emitting Ln3+\, respectively). However\, extremely low molar absorption coefficients of free Ln3+ require their sensitization by the “antenna effect” via appropriate chromophoric ligands in order to obtain a sufficient emission intensity. Therefore\, the design of highly luminescent Ln3+ compounds requires an optimization of the sensitization processes as well as the minimization of non-radiative deactivation mechanisms through overtones of high-energy vibrations\, charge-transfer states and back energy transfer. Moreover\, if Ln3+ coordination compounds are thought to be used in a specific application\, additional requirements such as water solubility\, biocompatibility\, low toxicity\, high thermodynamic stability and/or kinetic inertness for biological applications\, have to be taken into account. \nIn this presentation\, we will show the way from the design and synthesis to the use of highly luminescent lanthanide(III) coordination compounds emitting in the visible and the NIR ranges for biological applications. Particular attention will be given to the detailed analysis of photophysical properties in view of their possible rationalization. Ln3+-based small molecular complexes (polyaminocarboxylates\, metallacrowns)\, macromolecules (dendrimers)\, coordination polymers and nanomaterials will be discussed.\n\n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nSvetlana Eliseeva (Centre Moleculaire Biophysique in Orleans\, France)

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:The Art of Maps
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the last Third Thursday of the 2017-2018 school year as we celebrate maps as art. Maps can be much more than geographic tools\, telling us how to get somewhere. Instead\, more often than not they become artwork themselves. Come and explore the Clark Library’s collection of artistic maps. We will feature Elaine Wilson’s paintings from Charting the Wolverine\, “Europe as a Woman” from Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia\, and much more.\n\n“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” — Thomas Merton\n\nThird Thursday is a monthly open house that showcases the highlights of the Clark Library’s vast collection. These fun\, thematic events are open to everyone\, offering the community a look at some of our favorite maps and other materials.

SUMMARY:Performance:Personal\, Present and Immediate: Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions
DESCRIPTION:Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions\, is a composition workshop-style course is a generative laboratory to make rigorous\, experimental works that open reflection on socio-political issues. Our seminar involves: a study of other artists' work and ways they engage with wide-ranging political matter through performance\, animation\, sculpture and other media\; an embodied exploration of compositional elements at different sites in the Residential College and U-M's campus\; and creative assignments that employ various methods to interrogate sociopolitical material of your own choosing. We'll be examining the immediate\, present\, and personal relationship of the body to performance in a very expansive way\, studying William Kentridge's stop-gap animation\, Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals\, and Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial\, for example\, alongside more traditional understandings of performance in theater\, dance and film. Questioning assumptions of performance\, genre\, audience and politics will form an important part of our work in this interdisciplinary class\, as will a detailed examination of compositional elements common to multiple art forms. We will gain practice and experience with different approaches to making performance and different ways to deploy compositional tools\, depending on your objectives. No previous experience in performance or socio-political action necessary\, and all bodies\, abilities\, and backgrounds are actively welcome on this journey\; experimentation\, adaptation and play with formats and tools that may be new to you will be encouraged. The course will culminate in a public showing of original student work.\n\nSponsored in part through the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) and the EXCEL Lab of the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sierra Hull
DESCRIPTION:Sierra Hull first played the Grand Ole Opry stage at 11\, invited by Alison Krauss\, and she quickly became known as a bluegrass mandolin prodigy. She was celebrated\, yet adrift. Stranded\, even. What she felt at 22 was not what she felt at 12\, and the music Sierra Hull was writing and playing at home was different from the music she was making on stages. \"In some way\, I was needing to run from the thing that everybody thought I was being\,\" she says now\, at 24. Now\, after consulting with Krauss and with Béla Fleck (who says\, \" She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved\")\, she returns with the album \"Weighted Mind.\" Fleck served as producer\, and the album\, with 11 of its 12 songs written or co-written by Sierra\, is nothing like what we thought it would be. It is nothing like what we’ve heard before\, from anyone. It is singular and emphatic\, harmonious and dissonant. It is the realization of promise\, and the affirmation of individuality. Alison Krauss\, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history\, says of Sierra\, \"I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare\, and I don’t think it stops.\"
