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:Gifts of Art presents Not Your Grandmother’s Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Patricolo has been creating\, engineering and executing dolls for 25 years\, and teaching doll making for 20. She studied at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina\, and has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 2002. When teaching\, Patricolo feels that\, “Watching someone go from ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t believe I did this!’ is pretty fantastic!” Her inspiration often comes when she isn’t looking for it: in songs and books when a line rings out so clearly it cannot be ignored\, or a piece of fabric that refuses to be left behind. Patricolo is now based in North Carolina\, but lived most of her life in Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nothing Makes Sense\, Except Love: The Cinematic Musings of Director Alan Rudolph
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features materials reproduced from the Alan Rudolph Collection now part of the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center. Told in Rudolph’s first-person voice\, it chronicles his career.\n\nQuirky\, off kilter\, stylishly romantic and filled with moments of wry humor\, Alan Rudolph makes movies with dreamy eyed protagonists searching for love in all the wrong places. He often mashes up genres into something new and unique and peppers his films with elements not always beholden to realism. He began his four decade career under the watchful eye of mentor Robert Altman\, but he soon created a body of work that is clearly his own vision.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Non-Ideal Epistemology in a Social World
DESCRIPTION:Maria Lasonen-Aarnio (co-chair)\nBrian Weatherson (co-chair)\nJim Joyce\nEric Swanson\nEzra Keshet\n\nABSTRACT:\nIdealization is a necessity. Stripping away levels of complexity makes questions tractable\, focuses our attention\, and lets us develop comprehensible\, testable models. Applying such models\, however\, requires care and attention to how the idealizations incorporated into their development affect their predictions. In epistemology\, we tend to focus on idealizations concerning individual agents' capacities\, such as memory\, mathematical ability\, and so on\, when addressing this concern. By contrast\, this dissertation focuses on the effect of social idealizations\, particularly those pertaining to salient social categories like race\, sex\, and gender.\n\nIn Chapter II\, Privilege and Superiority\, we begin with standpoint epistemology\, one of the earliest efforts to grapple with the ways that social structures affect our epistemic lives. I argue that\, if we interpret standpoint epistemologists' claims as hypotheses about the ways that our social positions affect  access to evidence\, we can fruitfully employ recent developments in evidence logic to study the consequences. I lay the groundwork for this project\, developing a model based on neighborhood semantics for modal logic. Adapting this framework to standpoint epistemology helps to clarify the meaning of terms like \"epistemic privilege\" and \"superior knowledge\" and to elucidate the differences between various accounts. I also address a longstanding criticism of these views: Longino's (1990) bias paradox\, which suggests that there is no objective position from which to judge the goodness of a particular standpoint. \n\nChapter III\, Evidence in a Non-Ideal World\, turns to the broader social context\, looking at how ideology affects the availability of evidence. Throughout the chapter\, I take the formation\, justification\, and maintenance of racist\, sexist\, and otherwise oppressive beliefs as a central case. I argue that these beliefs are\, at least sometimes\, formed as a result of evidential distortion\, a structural feature of our epistemic contexts that skews readily available evidence in favor of dominant ideologies. Because they are formed this way\, such beliefs will appear justified on prominent accounts of justification\, both internalist and externalist. As a result\, epistemic norms that fail to account for such non-ideal conditions will deliver verdicts that are not only counter-intuitive\, but also morally unpalatable. This\, I argue\, reveals a kind of structural epistemic injustice\, especially where oppressive ideology is involved and suggests the need for epistemic norms that are sensitive to agents' social contexts.\n\nMuch of the discussion in Chapters II and III depends on social categories like race and gender\, arguing that they have a distinctive influence on our epistemic lives. In Chapter IV\, I Know You Are\, But What Am I?\, my co-author\, Robin Dembroff\, and I focus on social categories themselves\, distinguishing between self-identity\, social identity\, and social role. We self-identify as gay or straight\, men or women\, couch-potatoes or gym rats. Sometimes\, these identities affect our social roles --- the way we are perceived and treated by others --- and sometimes they do not. This relationship between our internal identities and our preferred public perceptions begs for explanation. On our account\, this relationship is captured by what we refer to as \"social identity\"--- roughly\, internal identities made available to others. We argue that this account of social identity plays an illuminating role in structural explanation of discrimination and individual behavior\, dissolves puzzles surrounding the phenomenon of `passing'\, and explains certain moral and political obligations toward individuals.

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: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: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:ChE Special Seminar: Dr. (William) Joshua Kennedy
DESCRIPTION:\"Optical Detection of Process Parameters in Structural Polymer Nanocomposites Using Gold Nanorods\"\n\nABSTRACT:\nThe real-time measurement of thermophysical properties in structural polymers is crucial to the optimization of processing parameters for composites manufacturing.  However\, robust techniques for in-situ monitoring of key parameters such as temperature\, stress\, strain\, viscosity\, and degree of cure with high sensitivity and spatial resolution are lacking.  Many optically active nanoparticles\, including fluorescent quantum dots and plasmonic nanostructures\, change their optical signatures in response to various environmental stimuli.  These materials are good candidates for embedded sensing in polymers because of their high signal-to-noise and intrinsic non-contact sensing modality.  However\, because spectral shifts can arise through a variety of mechanisms\, a thorough understanding of the fundamental relationships between environment and optical response is needed.  I will show that the thermal shape transformation of gold nanorods in a polymer matrix is governed by multiple mechanisms\, and these competing mechanisms lead to different behaviors at short and long time scales.  This understanding can be exploited in order to use gold nanorods as a way to simultaneously measure temperature\, dielectric constant\, and modulus in a structural polymer resin.\n\nBIO:\n(William) Joshua Kennedy received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Utah in 2011.  His graduate work and early postdoctoral work at the University of Texas - Dallas was focused on the study of the optoelectronic properties of carbon nanotubes and nanotube polymer nanocomposites.  During a postdoctoral fellowship at Nasa Johnson Space Center\, Dr. Kennedy studied the functional response of optically active polymer nanocomposites for space applications\, and he developed a new piezoelectric composite for use on the International Space Station.  Dr. Kennedy now works as a Research Physicist at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton\, OH.  He is a member of the Polymer Matrix Composites Materials and  Processes Research Team where he focuses on the development of multifunctional structural composite materials and embedded sensors for composite processing.
