In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

Although most of their artwork is textile based\, members use many different techniques. The theme of this exhibit is Inspired\, and the art quilts on display incorporate elements of assemblage\, collage and painting. The exhibit showcases the round robin approach that guided the creation of the work: the first artist made something which inspired the work of the second artist\, which inspired the work of the third artist\, and so on. A brief statement about the inspiration is included with each piece.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

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.

These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.\n\nMeredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence\, RI\, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative\, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social\, environmental\, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017\, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

In the 20th century\, natural product-based drug discovery was largely bioactivity-guided and was faced with limited source material and frequent rediscovery of bioactive lead structures. In the last two decades\, whole genome sequencing revealed that fungal and microbial genomes harbor more biosynthetic pathways than characterized natural product structures. This untapped biosynthetic potential inspired gene-guided discovery of natural products – or ‘genome mining’ - by applied knowledge that certain biosynthetic genes in a genome are connected to certain natural product structures. Genome mining has led to the discovery of many new natural product classes from microbes and fungi\, and synthetic biology approaches have subsequently enabled sustainable scaled production and diversification of these natural products for further drug development by source-independent expression of their biosynthetic genes in heterologous hosts.\n\nDr. Kersten will present how genome mining in the microbial and plant kingdoms can enable discovery of new natural product chemistry and underlying biochemistry for potential pharmacological applications. Specifically\, he will discuss genome mining approaches utilizing mass spectrometry for the characterization of peptide natural products\, including how they translate from compact microbial genomes to complex plant genomes and what awaits to be discovered in light of a rapidly growing resource of plant genomes in the near future.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nRoland Kersten is a postdoctoral associate of Prof. Jing-Ke Weng’s lab at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at MIT. He has a diploma in biochemistry from Free University of Berlin\, Germany. He completed his PhD in 2013 from Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, UC San Diego\, under joint supervision of Prof. Pieter Dorrestein (Skaggs School of Pharmacy\, UCSD) and Prof. Bradley Moore (Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, UCSD) focusing on mass spectrometry-guided approaches for natural product discovery from microbes. In his postdoctoral research\, Roland is developing gene-guided approaches for discovery and diversification of natural products from plants.

Selective transformations of aromatic compounds could provide a more direct route to such desirable targets\; however\, the many challenges associated with dearomative functionalization have left these types of reactions widely underdeveloped. Our group has been developing new strategies that bridge the gap between dearomatization functionalization and alkene chemistry. In pursuit of this goal\, we have developed dearomative functionalizations using small molecules – arenophiles – that enable reactions of isolated alkenes in aromatic substrates. Thus\, well-established olefin reactions\, such as dihydroxylation and reduction\, can now be more directly applied to arenes. Additionally\, arenophiles in combination with transition metal catalysis provide unique platform and enable the rapid access to a diverse range of products that are both challenging to synthesize via existing methods and complementary to those acquired through biological or chemical dearomative processes. Finally\, using this methodology we have recently completed the synthesis of several complex anticancer natural products. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDavid Sarlah (University of Illinois) UID:53788-13461545@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53788 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181205T141823 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190108T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190108T203000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Beauty of Native Plants: Their Function in Supporting Wildlife in Urban and Suburban Landscapes DESCRIPTION:Local nursery owner Drew Lathin talks about ways that home gardeners can use native plants to create beautiful and ecologically restorative landscapes that support wildlife\, reduce resource inputs\, and create healthy outdoor living spaces.
