SUMMARY:Exhibition:Animal Friends: Ceramic Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Marcia Polenberg loves animals\, each with its own unique personality\, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay\, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals\, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness\, surprise\, mischief\, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times\, building up a rich\, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting\, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics\, paint\, graphite and pastel.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Celebrating Science & Art
DESCRIPTION:The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research\, and are beautiful in their detail\, form and symmetry. For each one\, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells\, tissues and organs\, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants\, worms\, fruit flies\, fish\, mice and yes\, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators\, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images\, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma\, bipolar disease\, epilepsy and cancer.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Innovations in Ornament
DESCRIPTION:This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin\, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists\, Lorraine Kolasa\, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting\, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef\, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon\, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler\, Roger Smith\, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman\, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation\, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Organic Fiction: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination\, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty\, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature\, such as tree branches\, ice patterns\, twisted vines\, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures\, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope\, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the \"leading lights of the next generation.\" This exhibit draws on drafts\, proofs\, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.\n\nWorking most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff\, Carl Rakosi\, and George Oppen\, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally\, for more than forty years\, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine\, The Big Scream\, providing a venue for more than 200 poets\, including both big names names and younger\, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year\, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.\n\nOn view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday\, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Nancy Blum\, RC Class of '85
DESCRIPTION:RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations. \n\nExcerpted from her artist statement:\nMy large‐scale works on paper\, rendered in ink\, colored pencil\, gouache and graphite\, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire
DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Theater\, Sociability\, and Politics in Putin’s Russia
DESCRIPTION:The theater world in Russia is lively as ever\, with a range of styles and interests represented by innovative and original work. But that world is also under significant threat as the Russian state puts increasing pressure on theaters and especially directors. The substance of the great art of theater is communication\, respect\, reverence\, and an unflagging belief in humanity. Theater thrives on humanity the way flowers feed on soil\, sun\, and water. It in turn produces the conditions for humanity to grow. Theater produces and nurtures community and brings people together. In her lecture\, Irina Khutsieva will expound on the relationship between theater\, state and society in today's Russia. \n\nIrina Khutsieva is a stage director and acting instructor in Moscow\, Russia. Trained at “GITIS\,” the Russian Academy of Theatrical Art\, she has more than 30 years of experience in Russian theater. She now directs her own studio theater\, the Chamber Theater\, Moscow\, founded in 2004. Khutsieva has staged more than 50 plays in Russia\, Germany\, and the U.S. She has worked at one of Russia’s most distinguished theater academies – the Shchepkin Higher Theatre Institute\, associated with the State Academic Maly Theatre of Russia. She also has extensive experience teaching college drama majors. A specialist and practitioner of the Stanislavski Method\, she incorporates the principles and traditions of Russian psychological theater and has also developed her own staging and teaching methods. In recent years\, she has directed a major gala performance shown on Russian national TV and has run workshops for professional actors in regional towns throughout Russia. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminars | Dark Matter and Fusion: Signals and Constraints from the Dark and the Light
DESCRIPTION:Over the past several years\, non-WIMP dark matter candidates have attracted a surge of interest in the particle physics community. In this two-part talk\, I will summarize the underlying physics motivation for (and observable consequences of) two such candidates\, which share the feature that they are bound states of more familiar constituents. The first part of the talk will examine the astrophysical implications of a dark fermion that can form two-body bound states. The second part of the talk will examine new constraints on the \"dibaryon\"\, a hypothetical QCD bound state of six light quarks. The common thread of the talk will be the unique signals of fusion within or into a dark matter sector.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mapping the Underworld of Buried Utilities
DESCRIPTION:Records of the locations and properties of vast underground utility networks are incomplete\, inaccurate\, and many times unavailable. This lack of information of underground pipes poses a critical challenge to maintaining and upgrading underground infrastructure\, a grand engineering challenge outlined by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). It is also a main reason for the over six million of utility interruptions every year that cause injuries\, fatalities\, property damages\, and environmental pollutions\, amounting to billions of dollars in loss. Although sensing methods such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been exploited and proven its promise\, it usage in urban environment is limited because of the complexity of the underworld and its reflection on the GPR signals and image signatures. We have created new methods to more accurately determine the location and dimension of underground pipes by fusing data from utility specifications and regulations and contextual cues\, termed as “virtual sensors”\, and GPR scans. Algorithms have been devised to extract image signatures from GPR radargrams to guide field robots in real-time\, extract spatial rules from text documents\, and integrating multiple sources of heterogeneous data. Research findings have been implemented as an autonomous robotic system with the capacity of adapting to complex spatial configurations of underground networks to generate accurate\, geospatial 3D pipe models. Research findings are expected to shift the paradigm of the current practice in mapping underground pipes.\nDr. Hubo Cai is an Associate Professor of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University. He is the founding director of the Laboratory of Computer-Integrated Infrastructure Informatics (LCIII) and the codirector of the Discrete Event Simulation (DES) Laboratory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Working Together to Achieve Detroit’s Future
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\n\nThe Ford School’s Michigan Politics and Policy class (PubPol 475/750) will be joined by Chase Cantrell\, Executive Director and Founder of Building Community Value for a discussion about the future of Detroit on Weds Oct 31\, 2:30pm.\n\nWe have moved this class session to the larger Ford School Annenberg Auditorium (1120) so this lecture can be open to the public -- we hope to see you there!\n\nWhen:               Wednesday\, October 31\, 2:30pm - 3:50pm\nWhere:              Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, 1120 Annenberg Auditorium\n                              735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\n\nAbout the talk\nCivic actors in government\, media\, philanthropy\, and academia measure Detroit’s progress through data and reports. As the numbers rise and fall\, especially in this period of transition\, we increasingly ask ourselves will we ever see 'one Detroit for all of us?’ Flipping the economic development switch in a city that experienced over a half century of painful loss is an insufficient response to enduring physical and psychological trauma. How can our city begin to treat such collective trauma? We start by talking.\n\nChase L. Cantrell is the executive director and founder of Building Community Value\, a Detroit-based non-profit dedicated to implementing and facilitating real estate development projects in underserved Detroit neighborhoods. An alumnus of the University of Michigan Law School\, Chase specialized in real estate and corporate law and has facilitated corporate and real estate acquisitions\, sales\, and other complex transactions for clients of all sizes (from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies). Through Building Community Value\, and in collaboration with academic and community partners\, Chase seeks to be a catalyst for sustainable social and economic development that engages distressed communities in creating impactful\, resident-led change but\, more specifically\, that improves livability for all Detroiters. Chase is also currently a non-partisan candidate for the Detroit Charter Revision Commission.”\n\nThis class session and discussion is open to the public\, we hope to see you there.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Solving (Stellar) Flows: Methods\, Software\, and Results
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the interaction of convec-tion\, magnetic fields\, and rotation is essen-tial to a robust understanding of stellar magnetism. These flows are at extreme pa-rameter regimes that defy our largest su-percomputers. I will discuss a number of strategies we have developed to make pro-gress on these problems\, including the flexible PDE solver Dedalus. In particular\, I will discuss the development of tools for Direct Statistical Simulation\, a new strategy for studying anisotropic turbulent flows. I will discuss the application of these techniques to several important illustrative problems from astrophysical fluid dynamics.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Jeff Oishi is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Bates College in Lewiston\, ME\, where he leads a research group of undergraduates.  He is also Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History. He was an un-dergraduate at Columbia and did his PhD at the University of Virginia. His re-search interests are in numerical methods for magnetohydrodynamics\, stability theory\, and turbulence. Prof. Oishi is a member of the Dadelus Project\, an open source framework for solving partial differential equations.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Nonlinear Optics at the Frequency Scale of Thermal Fluctuations
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, I will discuss how coherent electromagnetic radiation at infrared and TeraHertz frequencies can be used to drive coherently and to large amplitudes collective excitations in solids. The nonlinear cooperative response is largely unexplored and can yield new types functional control. I will for example discuss experiments in which superconducting fluctuations can be amplified by light at temperatures higher than the thermodynamic transition temperature. I will also discuss how X-ray Free Electron Lasers are integral to this work\, and how they can be used to sample the dynamical evolution of crystal lattices and of other microscopic parameters in time.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Rachel Cummings\, Georgia Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Title: \"Differential Privacy for Growing Databases\"\n\nAbstract:\nWe study the design of differentially private algorithms for adaptive analysis of dynamically growing databases\, where a database accumulates new data entries while the analysis is ongoing. We provide a collection of tools for machine learning and other types of data analysis that guarantee differential privacy and accuracy as the underlying databases grow arbitrarily large. We give both a general technique and a specific algorithm for adaptive analysis of dynamically growing databases. Our general technique is illustrated by two algorithms that schedule black box access to some algorithm that operates on a fixed database to generically transform private and accurate algorithms for static databases into private and accurate algorithms for dynamically growing databases. These results show that almost any private and accurate algorithm can be rerun at appropriate points of data growth with minimal loss of accuracy\, even when data growth is unbounded. Our specific algorithm directly adapts the private multiplicative weights algorithm to the dynamic setting\, maintaining the accuracy guarantee of the static setting through unbounded data growth. Along the way\, we develop extensions of several other differentially private algorithms to the dynamic setting\, which may be of independent interest for future work on the design of differentially private algorithms for growing databases. (Joint work with Sara Krehbiel\, Kevin Lai\, and Uthaipon Tantipongpipat.)\n\nBio:\nDr. Rachel Cummings is an Assistant Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Computer Science (by courtesy) at Georgia Tech. Her research interests lie primarily in data privacy\, with connections to machine learning\, algorithmic economics\, optimization\, statistics\, and information theory. Dr. Cummings received her PhD. in Computing and Mathematical Sciences from the California Institute of Technology\, her M.S. in Computer Science from Northwestern University\, and her B.A. in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Southern California. She is the recipient of a Simons-Berkeley Research Fellowship in Data Privacy\, the ACM SIGecom Doctoral Dissertation Honorable Mention\, the Amori Doctoral Prize in Computing and Mathematical Sciences\, and the Best Paper Award at the 2014 International Symposium on Distributed Computing
