SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Flora & Fauxna: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Patty Carroll’s highly intense\, saturated color photographs have led to her recognition as one of Photolucida’s Top 50 Photographers (2104\, 2017). Flora & Fauxna is a still life series about women and their homes using decorative fabric\, artificial flowers and ceramic birds to create a sumptuous\, and often humorous\, ornate world. Unlike traditional still life images\, these photographs show no horizon line\, dramatic lighting\, or symbols of death and decay. Birds in many cultures are messengers between heaven and earth\, acting as a bridge between the mundane and spiritual life. In Carroll’s work\, birds represent the human desire to escape gravity and reach the level of angels.

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:Other:Dissertation Defense: What Makes an Emotion Moral?
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Jacobson  (chair)\nSarah Buss\nPeter Railton\nChandra Sripada\n\nABSTRACT:\nFrom the standpoint of both philosophers and psychologists\, the study of moral psychology has undergone an affective revolution over the last three decades. This revolution has generated substantial interest in the role of the emotions in moral talk\, thought\, and behavior. Further\, it has been claimed that some emotions are distinctively moral in nature. However\, what it means for an emotion to count as moral and which emotions count as the moral ones are issues in need of further elucidation. My dissertation addresses these questions in three connected chapters\, with a particular focus on two emotions often but obscurely referred to as “moral”: disgust and anger.\n\nIn chapter one\, “Is There Such a Thing as Genuinely Moral Disgust”\, I defend a novel\, skeptical view about moral disgust. In so doing\, I reject a widely-held\, albeit largely implicit\, assumption in the moral disgust literature that there exists a distinctive psychological state of moral disgust. To give a positive answer to what I call the ontological question about moral disgust\, thereby vindicating its existence\, I propose that a given psychological state must be shown to bear sufficient resemblance to the familiar\, generic version of disgust\, yet be distinguishable from it in virtue of its distinctively moral nature. I argue that existing accounts of moral disgust fail to satisfy these conditions. Further\, I contend that we should be skeptical about the general prospect of giving a positive answer to the ontological question\, because the empirical evidence that can be invoked in favor of moral disgust’s existence is too equivocal to properly distinguish (putatively) moral disgust from other psychological states\, particularly anger.\n\nIn chapter two\, “What Makes an Emotion Moral?”\, I develop a novel\, empirically-informed answer to the general version of the ontological question that was raised in chapter 1 with respect to moral disgust: how can we vindicate the existence of a distinctively moral emotion? I examine two contemporary\, representative accounts of the “moral” emotions\, one that type-identifies the moral emotions based on their effects\, and another that defines the moral emotions as those that are constituted by specifically moral judgments. I argue that the former defines the moral emotions too broadly\, and thus fails to draw a substantive distinction between the moral emotions and the non-moral ones\, whereas the latter defines the moral emotions too narrowly. Informed by the problems with these accounts\, I introduce a motivational theory of moral emotion\, which defines the moral emotions as those with distinctively moral action tendencies and goals.\n\nFinally\, in chapter three\, “In Defense of Genuinely Moral Anger”\, I defend the claim that there is a distinctively moral subtype of anger. I argue that moral anger is a genuine form of anger that is differentiable from generic anger primarily in virtue of its action tendencies\, which are typically triggered by perceived injustice and aim to satisfy two moral goals: a communication goal\, and a sanctioning goal. With this account\, I offer an empirically-supported account that constitutes a positive answer to the ontological question about moral anger\, thereby demonstrating that it is possible to vindicate the existence of a genuinely moral emotion while making sense of the idea that the moral emotions should be understood as a recognizable subset within the general class of the emotions.

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:Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance
DESCRIPTION:Canadian artist Marcel Dzama is known for imaginative drawings\, sculptures\, dioramas\, and films rooted in the traditions of Surrealism\, Dada and outsider art. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Srimoyee Mitra with the assistance of James Barker and Jennifer Junkermeier\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt is a retrospective exhibition that pays homage to and celebrates fifty years of Ellen Wilt’s expansive art practice. 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

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:See Through: Windows and Mirrors in Twentieth-Century Photography
DESCRIPTION:See Through: Mirrors and Windows in Twentieth-Century Photography brings together a group of images that are doubly framed—once by the camera lens and again by the border of a mirror or window. 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. By extending the limits of perception\, these witty and provocative works invite us to see [through to] new visual possibilities.\n\nLead support for See Through: Windows and Mirrors in Twentieth-Century Photography is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Historical collecting practices have had a lasting impact on representations of Africa\, its history\, culture\, and life today. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and Susan Ullrich.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Evaluating coastal management vulnerability to climate change
DESCRIPTION:The National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) System created the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Tool for Coastal Habitats (CCVATCH) to help land managers\, decision makers\, and researchers develop conservation\, management\, and restoration plans for coastal habitats in light of climate change. Reserves in New England and North and South Carolina will share the results from recent assessments they conducted. The presentation will demonstrate how CCVATCH serves as an evaluation process to identify sources of vulnerability\, provide a greater understanding of the potential impacts of climate change alone and in relation to existing non-climate stressors\, and identify data gaps and research needs. \n\nAbout the Speakers: \nRobin Weber has been engaged in the development of the CCVATCH from its inception and served first as an Applied Science Investigator and then as Project Lead in two funded projects designed to pilot test and implement CCVATCH at multiple locations. As a Stewardship Coordinator within the NERRS for 18 years\, Ms. Weber applies science to the management and restoration of a variety of habitat types on Reserve properties and works with partners to enhance stewardship of managed lands more broadly within the State of Rhode Island.\n \nDr. Plunket initially proposed the idea of developing a climate vulnerability assessment tool designed for coastal habitats in 2011. Since then she has led a workgroup that developed the CCVATCH\, served as the principal investigator on a Science Collaborative funded project to pilot test the tool\, and trained staff in the CCVATCH process at NERRA/NERRS meetings. As Stewardship Coordinator at the North Inlet-Winyah Bay  NERR\, Dr. Plunket works on a variety of projects directed toward the long-term conservation of the North Inlet and Winyah Bay estuaries.

SUMMARY:Other:Coordination Chemistry of Paramagnetic “Scorpionate” Complexes As Probed By Spectroscopic and Computational Methods \n
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                                                The trispyrazolylborate\, scorpionate\, ligand (pioneered by the late S. Trofimenko) coordinates almost every type of metal ion (p\, d\, and f block). More recently\, trisimidazolylborate analogs of this ligand (pioneered by J. M. Smith) have led to complexes with interesting structure and reactivity. We will describe the use of spectroscopic techniques\, primarily EPR\, but also optical spectroscopy\, including MCD\, to study the electronic structure of several paramagnetic\, first row transition metal ion (Mn(III\, IV)\, Fe(II)\, Co(II)\, and Ni(II)) complexes supported by scorpionate ligands. For such high-spin (meaning with S > 1/2\, in this context) complexes\, EPR at high magnetic fields (up to 25 T) and correspondingly high frequencies (sub-THz: 95 ? 750 GHz)\, known as HFEPR\, is especially useful. We will discuss how classical ligand-field theory (LFT)\, as well as more modern\, quantum chemical theory (QCT) methods can be used to provide valuable chemical information on these systems. \n\n                          \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nJoshua Telser (Roosevelt University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tour Michigan Ladder Co. and its Historic Building
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an interesting evening at a hidden treasure of  Ypsilanti. Michigan Ladder Company has been in operation since 1901. They have served as a witness to the changes happening all around them -- delivery wagons becoming trucks\, B-24 bomber planes overhead before going off to fight in WW II\, trains passing and then not\, businesses coming and going. Yet\, they have made their fine products at the same location for the past 115 years. All of their ladders are made up to a quality -- not down to a price. \n\nWe thought it would be fun to learn more about how they have survived the changes in their business and community and see the historical building they still occupy. Tom Harrison\, CEO and owner\, will talk with us about his company. Afterwards\, we will walk to dinner at the ABC (Arbor Brewing Company) Microbrewery\, 720 Norris\, Ypsilanti.\n\nAfter 5 events are open to the public\, and do not require OLLI membership.\n\nPLEASE NOTE CHANGE IN LOCATION TO THE KELLOGG EYE CENTER\, 1000 WALL STREET.
