SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.”

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:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
DESCRIPTION:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic\nJanuary 24\, 2019 – March 2\, 2019\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic\, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Alessandro Rinaldo\, Professor\, Department of Statistics & Data Science\, Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:Statistical change-point analysis is concerned with detecting and localizing abrupt changes in the data generating distribution in time series. A long-studied subject with a rich literature\, change-point analysis has produced a host of well established methods for statistical inference available to practitioners. These techniques are widely used in diverse applications to address important real life problems\, such as security monitoring\, neuroimaging\, ecological statistics and climate change\, medical condition monitoring\, sensor networks\, risk assessment  for disease outbreak\, genetics and many others. The current frameworks for statistical analysis of change-point problems often times rely on traditional modeling assumptions of parametric nature that are inadequate to capture the inherent complexity of modern\, high-dimensional datasets. in this talk I will introduce three high-dimensional change-point localization problems assuming independent observations: for univariate means\, covariances and sparse network models. In each case\, I will describe a phase transition in the space of the model parameters that sharply separates parameter combinations for which the localization task is possible from the ones for which no consistent estimator of the change-points exists. I will then present the corresponding algorithms for localization\, which yield nearly minimax optimal rates in all cases. I will finally discuss ongoing work on a fully non-parametric change-point problem.\n \nJoint work with Daren Wang\, Yi Yu and Oscar Hernan Madrid Padilla.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Psychology Methods Hour:  Estimating and Visualizing Interactions Between Endogenous Latent Variables
DESCRIPTION:A common assumption of latent variables is that their means are zero and their variances are one. In practice\, this assumption is not always true\, particularly in the case of endogenous latent variables. At the same time\, visual representations of latent variable interactions often rely on plotting effects at values corresponding to standard deviations of the latent moderating variable. This discussion draws attention to this often unmet assumption\, highlights some potential consequences of failing to meet it\, and offers a generalized solution to estimating the mean and variance of endogenous latent variables.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Opportunities for greywater reuse at different scales
DESCRIPTION:Water and wastewater treatment are key to protect humans in cities by providing safe water and urban hygiene and to protect the aquatic environment from pollutants. Over the past century\, urban water management allowed for healthy and pleasant living conditions in ever-growing cities in many parts of the world. This presentation will discuss the potential for local reuse of treated greywater and drivers for implementation. What are the scientific and technological challenges? How can appropriate local water reuse be implemented in a way that it does not jeopardize today’s achievements in urban water management and urban hygiene? Basic sciences for gravity driven membrane (GDM) filtration and technology development for reuse of hand washing water in informal settlements or resource recovery at the building scale will be discussed.\n\nDr. Eberhard Morgenroth is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology. His research interests include wastewater treatment\, membrane bioreactors for water reuse\, control of biofilms\, biofilm reactors\, biological drinking water treatment\, decentralized wastewater treatment\, and energy recovery from wastewater and organic residuals.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Was Ancient Mars Warm and Wet or Cold and Icy? Mineral Signatures of Climate in Rover\, Orbiter\, and Terrestrial Analog Studies
DESCRIPTION:Abundant valley networks and thick sequences of lake deposits dating from billions of years ago on Mars are clear evidence that liquid water was once abundant on the surface\, but whether the climate was warm and wet or cold and icy is poorly understood. This problem has major implications for the types of environments that may have hosted life on ancient Mars. Here we take a new approach to this problem\, by using the mineralogical record of ancient Mars to constrain the climate. Chemical reactions to form minerals are sensitive to temperature and rates of weathering\, both of which are strongly influenced by climate. Using samples from terrestrial analog sites\, we have shown that cold climates produce distinctly different mineral assemblages than warm climates. The mineral record of ancient Mars includes a wide array of minerals\, but cannot be explained without one or more long term warm climatic optimums. The Mars 2020 rover will investigate lake deposits dating from one of these climatic optimums\, and search for signs of ancient microbial life.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Matrix Completion in Network Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Matrix completion is an active area of research in itself\,and a natural tool to apply to network  data\, since many real networks are observed incompletely and/or with noise.  However\, developing matrix completion algorithms for networks requires taking into account the network structure.  This talk will discuss three examples of matrix completion used for network tasks.  First\, we discuss the use of matrix completion for cross-validation or non-parametric bootstrap on network data\, a long-standing problem in network analysis. Two other examples focus on reconstructing incompletely observed networks\, with structured missingness resulting from network sampling mechanisms.  One scenario we consider is egocentric sampling\, where a set of nodes is selected first and then their connections to the entire network are observed.  Another scenario focuses on data from surveys\, where people are asked to name a given number of friends.  We show that matrix completion can generally be very helpful in solving network problems\, as long as the network structure is taken into account.  This talk is based on joint work with Elizaveta Levina\, Tianxi Li and Yun-Jhong Wu.\n\nBio: Ji Zhu is a Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He received his B.Sc. in Physics from Peking University\, China in 1996 and M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Statistics from Stanford University in 2000 and 2003\, respectively. His primary research interests include statistical machine learning\, high-dimensional data modeling\, statistical network analysis and their applications to health sciences. He received an NSF CAREER Award in 2008\; and he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2013 and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 2015.

SUMMARY:Performance:Merrily We Roll Along
DESCRIPTION:The iconic 1981 musical by legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim is being boldly brought to life through a staged concert production in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Merrily We Roll Along moves backwards in time\, exploring the life of three friends from their disenchanted adulthood to the bright-eyed optimism of their youth\, exploring all the choices they made along the way. The production will feature a full 15-piece orchestra sharing the stage with the actors.\n\nDirector Megumi Nakamura\, a Senior in the renowned University of Michigan Musical Theatre Department\, is thrilled to be taking on the challenging musical\, saying\,\n\n            “For any student or enthusiast of musical theater\, getting to work on a musical written by Stephen Sondheim is both a daunting and exhilarating experience. The music and story of this play are beautiful and widely relatable\, but because of what some label as a challenging script\, the show is seldom produced. Consequently\, getting the opportunity to direct this show with some of the best young musical theater actors and designers in the country is an enormously thrilling and unique opportunity.”
