Organized By: Gifts of Art

After finding Mannea pottery artifacts at archaeological sites in his hometown of Rabat in the northwest of Kurdistan in Iran, Rezgar Mamandi discovered his passion for ceramic art. His formal studies in ceramic art technique were in Turkey. Now Mamandi creates Manna Pottery, decorative and functional ceramics reproduced from 7th century Mannea Art originals. With hand-painted figures, patterns, shapes and colors, each piece is one-of-a-kind with an ancient, yet contemporary look achieved by using lead-free, high-fire oxidation glazes. To describe his relationship to art, Mamandi quotes Thomas Merton: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”

Gifts of presents Art, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway (April 3, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62140 62140-15302139@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 8:00am
Location: University Hospitals
Organized By: Gifts of Art

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

she was here, once (April 3, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875175@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

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.

In 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).

The 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.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: 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.

Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency (April 3, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58928 58928-14578334@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency," by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home, privacy, and safety.

The exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication, luxury, and modernism.

In a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet, for Martin and Muñoz, "Blind House" serves as "a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy." Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

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.

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.

<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>
While 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.

While 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.

Working 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.

When 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.

The 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.

Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3, 2019. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology, public health, and statistics using SAS (local), R (server), Linux (on FLUX, MBNI, and other personal servers), batch scripting (SGE, PBS, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling) and introductory statistics using R. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background.

In this hackerspace, Dr. Ware is particularly interested in addressing issues of data manipulation in Linux, efficient documentation and file naming structures, data management (SAS/R), setting up an HPC connection, WinSCP, getting around a server using basic Linux, genomic analysis, and high-dimensional data analysis. Dr. Ware would like to learn about SFTP using Globus, Python, and more advanced batch scripting in Slurm. Dr. Ware hopes you will join her hackerspace this term.

The goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate, hackers need to bring their own laptops and, ideally, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 3, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452860@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 11:00am

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.

Lead 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.

EXAMINING THE RADICAL IMPACT OF INTERNET CULTURE ON VISUAL ART

The internet has changed every aspect of contemporary life—from how we interact with each other to how we work and play. Art in the Age of the Internet, 1989 to Today examines the radical impact of internet culture on visual art since the invention of the web in 1989. This exhibition presents more than forty works across a variety of media—painting, performance, photography, sculpture, video, and web-based projects. It features work by some of the most important artists working today, including Judith Barry, Juliana Huxtable, Pierre Huyghe, Josh Kline, Laura Owens, Trevor Paglen, Seth Price, Cindy Sherman, Frances Stark, and Martine Syms.

EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY

In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge, memory, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2, 2018 and UMMA through June 2, 2019.

#CosmogonicTattoos

Lead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Stephane Robolin Lecture (April 3, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59708 59708-14780087@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 11:30am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

In this talk, Stephane Robolin (Rutgers) will explore the role of libraries as institutions central to the circulation of banned literature in apartheid South Africa, as part of a larger inquiry into the clandestine lives of public organizations. The primary focus will be the U.S. Information Service Library in Johannesburg, one of a global network of libraries funded by the United States to wage the Cold War through film, literature, and journalism. This talk will consider how a library designed to disseminate propaganda by the U.S. government in a white minority-governed country could simultaneously serve and transgress the missions of both states. What was the function of African American literature in its stacks? What role could, say, The Autobiography of Malcolm X play in downtown Johannesburg? And what does it tell us about how the careful curation of culture works (and doesn’t) in contexts of political resistance? And what, if anything, does it reveal about the nature of cultural institutions?

Dreaming, from Ming to Qing (April 3, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61055 61055-15027182@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan

A certain span of time from the mid-sixteenth century through the end of the seventeenth century (that is, the late Ming and very early Qing period) has been the most generative of dream-related writings and visual materials in Chinese history. This lecture will (1) outline this “arc” of dream-interest in late-imperial cultural history, (2) assert the importance of studying dreams as part of the history of consciousness, (3) suggest a method of approaching such a historical mega-phenomenon, and (4) illustrate that approach with examples from the verbal and visual culture facts of the Ming-to-Qing transitional era.

About the speaker:

Lynn Struve is Professor Emerita of History and of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University, Bloomington. Her longstanding, general interests lie in the political, intellectual, and cultural history of the late Ming and early Qing periods in China. In recent years she has focused on the salience of dreams and dreaming in China from the mid-sixteenth through the seventeenth century, research which has born fruit in a forthcoming book, The Dreaming Mind and the End of the Ming World (University of Hawaii Press).

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: University of Michigan Energy Institute

Ceres and the Energy Institute at the University of Michigan are partnering to host a Public Presentation to discuss policies and partnerships for accelerating fleet electrification for public and private entities.

In an effort to unlock the benefits and accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles and fleets, these two events will focus on the major stakeholders who could (1) benefit from EVs or fleet electrification and (2) play a key role in accelerating the deployment of EVs. This includes: large fleet operators–companies, institutions and municipalities–along with auto manufacturers, regulators, utilities, and electric vehicle technology and policy experts.

Prior to this event, Ceres and the Energy Institute will interview these key stakeholders, in an effort to answer three primary questions:
-What factors motivate fleet operators to transition to electric vehicles? 

-What are the biggest perceived barriers to fleet electrification or EV procurement? 

-Which policies and/or partnerships can encourage widespread adoption of EVs?

Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Physics

High precision technology offers a powerful new approach for particle physics. Discovering the answers to open questions such as the hierarchy problem and the nature of dark matter may in fact require a new, high precision approach instead of conventional techniques. Examples of such new physics include the axion, a solution to the strong CP problem and strongly-motivated dark matter candidate. Technologies such as atom interferometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and high precision magnetometry allow novel, highly sensitive experiments for direct detection of dark matter and new fundamental interactions. These approaches are similar in many respects to gravitational wave detectors. I will discuss several new detectors for dark matter and/or gravitational waves.

Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

Abstract: On the one hand, there's science: the clear-eyed, hard-nosed, the pragmatic empiricist. On the other hand, there's math: the poet, the dreamer, the hunter of wild abstractions. How do these two intellectual traditions regard one another? And why is it that the most useless-sounding math - from knot theory to meta-logic to non-Euclidean geometry - often turns out to be the most useful? Prerequisites: basic human curiosity; tolerance for bad drawings; the willingness to participate in a silly debate. In short: all are welcome!

How do we define memes? How have they come to define us? How can we critically analyze these ubiquitous pools of relief from near-constant existential dread? Navigate your browser/person to the Duderstadt Center Design Studio at 7 PM on Wednesdays for this interactive discussion + workshop with Michelle Sheng.

This series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles, ranking meme variants, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations, performances, interventions, and events by University of Michigan faculty, staff, and students, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Hatcher Graduate Library, and the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library.

The continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment, distribution, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.

Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, the University of Michigan Library, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR), and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.
