Why is this such an important issue today and what does it mean for you?\nWhy did the United States Supreme Court take up the gerrymandering case (Gill v. Whitford)? And what is happening now with this case? \nHow has technology impacted the gerrymandering debate? \nWhat are states doing to address the issue?\nHow can you implement change? \n\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

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.

His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations. The drawings underscore the fantastical elements in a film that combines the carnivalesque with a nightmarish exploration of the surreal.\n\nLead support for Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance is provided by Candy and Michael Barasch. Additional generous support is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh\, Wilt has lived and worked in Ann Arbor since 1949 and completed two degrees (BFA\, ‘69 and MA\, ‘70) at the University of Michigan. She is an important figure in Ann Arbor’s art community\, who has consistently worked at fostering a vibrant arts community as an artist and educator in the Academy and beyond. She was an art professor for 17 years (1969-85) at the Eastern Michigan University. During this time she also organized and facilitated numerous community-engaged projects that empowered first-time and emerging artists to show their work. It was not until she retired and was well into her 70s that she turned her focus to her own art practice. Her work was duly recognized with numerous awards from the Michigan Water Color Society\, Washtenaw Council for the Arts\, and the Holland Friends of Art between 1984 and 1993.\n\nFor the first time in the last three decades\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt brings together over 40 carefully selected works from personal and private collections that highlight Wilt’s artistic contributions in Southeastern Michigan. Her intuitive and playful bricolage way of working reveals the scope of her achievement and her specific interest in the Michigan region and its landscape. She has developed multiple bodies of work that feature domestic objects from teapots to chairs while also reckoning with iconic architectural tropes of bridges and tunnels which are ongoing motifs in her work. Wilt continually experiments and explores new ways of working in a variety of two dimensional mediums including\, oil\, acrylic and watercolor. Since the 1970s she has incorporated collage into her practice using whatever materials she has available to her. These range from butcher paper\, aluminum foil\, and tissue to balsa wood\, toothpicks and other found objects. She creates mixed media paintings\, cut outs\, rubbings and installations that reimagine the agency of mundane objects and invite viewers to look again.\n\nExhibition Dates: Thursday\, May 31 - Sunday\, September 9\, 2018\nExhibition Reception: Thursday\, May 31\, 2018 from 6-8 pm \nA conversation with Ellen Wilt: June 9\, 2018 from 2-3 pm UID:52089-12418603@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180308T135541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180605T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180605T170000 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.

By refracting and distorting\, revealing and concealing\, these reflective and transparent surfaces both draw attention to the photographer’s efforts to frame the world and expose the contingent nature of reality. Highlights from the exhibition include works by Eugène Atget\, Robert Doisneau\, Elliott Erwitt\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Joanne Leonard\, Danny Lyon\, and Joel Meyerowitz.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

This has resulted in the discovery of QCC374\, the first selective prostacyclin (IP) receptor agonist rationally designed for dry powder inhalation (DPI) for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Inhaled QCC374 offers high levels of lung exposure\, a long duration of action (via optimized cell-membrane affinity) and low systemic exposure (high plasma protein binding\, rapid clearance) and is currently in Ph2 trials.\n\nPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an orphan disease characterized by chronic elevation in pulmonary arterial pressure\, progressive pulmonary remodeling\, right heart failure\, and mortality. Despite major advances with the development of marketed therapies targeting three pathways: the endothelin\, nitric oxide (PDE5 and guanylate cyclase)\, and prostacyclin pathways\, PAH remains a fatal disease with a median survival from diagnosis of 7 years (Benza et al\, 2012).\n\nProstacyclin (IP) analogues confer antiproliferative\, vasodilatory\, and anti-inflammatory effects. Despite the precedent within this class of approved therapies (epoprostenol\, iloprost\, treprostinil\, beraprost & recently approved oral selexipag)\, all these agents have significant dose-limiting adverse events (AEs)\, ranging from headache and jaw pain to nausea/vomiting/diarrhea and hypotension\, that significantly impact the safety\, tolerability and efficacy of this class. The initiation of prostacyclin therapy is therefore delayed in many PAH patients\, with a subsequent negative effect on prognosis (Badagliacca et al 2012).\nWe believe with optimized membrane affinity and lung duration of action\, QCC374 has the attributes to demonstrate a class-leading profile\, differentiating from other marketed prostacyclin analogues\, with the potential for earlier and broader use across PAH.\n\nBadagliacca\, R.\, et al (2012) Prognostic factors in severe pulmonary hypertension patients who need parenteral prostanoid therapy: the impact of late referral.

Fearing the consequences of speaking up\, Mia decides to keep quiet on the matter. Twelve-year-old victim Wen\, however\, quickly realizes that the violence she endured that night is only the first in a litany of troubles. With seemingly nowhere to run\, Mia and Wen find themselves caught in an ever-tightening net that they alone can free themselves from. This second feature from the brilliant Chinese writer-director VIVIAN QU whisks us away to a small seaside village where tranquility is torn asunder by a terrible crime. A modern noir focused on complex female characters\, Angels Wear White possesses a distinctive slow burn that may prove to be Qu’s signature. – Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017.\n\nPurchase tickets ahead here: http://www.cinetopiafestival.org/show/angels-wear-white/\n\nSponsored by U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and Confucius Institute at U-M.

Pickle (CRES CHUANG)\, a night security guard at a bronze statue factory\, and Belly Button (BAMBOO CHEN)\, a recyclables collector\, are best friends. While trying to kill time on the long nights spent in the security room\, Belly Button suggests that they view the dash-camera footage of Pickle's rich boss\, Kevin (LEON DAI). Watching the promiscuous meetings Kevin has with various women\, they witness something they never should have known about. These images are like wormholes\, taking Pickle\, Belly Button\, and the viewer from one universe into another\, from the colourless existence of the poor and forgotten to the illuminated world of the powerful. -Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017.\n\nPurchase tickets ahead here: http://www.cinetopiafestival.org/show/the-great-buddha/\n\nSponsored by U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and Confucius Institute at U-M UID:52463-12793953@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52463 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chinese Studies,Film LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
