Protein-protein interactions among Bcl-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis. Anti-apoptotic members of the family, including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w, Mcl-1, and Bfl-1, sequester pro-apoptotic family members by binding tightly to an amphipathic alpha helix within them, blocking pro-death functions. Through this mechanism, overexpression of the anti-apoptotic proteins is implicated in oncogenesis and resistance to chemotherapy. Tight-binding and selective inhibitors of Bcl-2 family proteins can be used to diagnose the Bcl-2 dependencies of cancer cells and may be developed as therapeutics. The challenge of designing peptides that function as high-affinity and selective inhibitors of specific Bcl-2 family proteins poses a fundamental, challenging problem in protein engineering and a good opportunity to study principles of protein-peptide recognition. I will describe features of Bcl-2 family protein interactions and discuss approaches we have developed that integrate computational structure-based modeling with high-throughput screening to generate peptide-based inhibitors.

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.”

Barbara J. Schneider’s studio is in the Starline Factory in Harvard, Illinois. She has an extensive background in surface design, and she works with cloth, paint, dye and thread. The Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi (aesthetic of transience and imperfection) is a strong influence in her work. This collection is a series of stitched textiles that are a reinterpretation of traditional still life paintings. These small, intimate artworks use vintage Japanese boro fabrics as backgrounds for personal objects that contain a Wabi-Sabi spirit. Schneider teaches and exhibits her work nationally and internationally, and her work is in both private and public collections.

Gifts of presents Art, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway (April 24, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62140 62140-15302160@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 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 24, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875178@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 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 24, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58928 58928-14578355@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 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

Exhibition | Ancient Color (April 24, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 59301-14728354@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 2019 9:00am
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

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.

Be sure you’re here by 12:15 to be entered into a drawing to win a CEW+ swag bag!

It’s the end of the semester and CEW+ is providing space (and food!) to help you finish the year off strong. Students are invited to drop in and take advantage of our study spaces, self-care activities, and healthy snacks. There will also be a social hour with lunch from 12:30-1:30 PM (RSVP requested for planning purposes).

We will also be offering two guided opportunities to practice mindfulness meditation at 10:15 and 1:30. Based on research from multiple sources, mindfulness is considered a key skill that can be utilized to reduce stress and induce a state of relaxation. Some of the many benefits of practicing mindfulness during finals are, higher brain functioning, increased attention and focus, increased clarity in thinking and perception, lowered anxiety levels, and better sleep. Mindfulness is a skill that can be learned and most effective when practiced on a regular basis. Come see how 15 minutes can help you make the most of your study time!

Feel free to drop in and socialize with other students or stay all day to get some work done. Either way, CEW+ is here to support you!

Bring friends to study together in our quiet spaces, or just hang out and meet other students from different departments in relaxing and welcoming spaces throughout the Center. Children are welcome with a designated child-friendly study space.

If you would like to attend the lunch, please RSVP. No registration is otherwise needed to drop in.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 24, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452863@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 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.

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.

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.

Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty, incredible softness, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.

This special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister, Shizuko Iwata, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.

This kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

The purpose of this dissertation is to advance the development of a drug-loaded polymeric scaffold for bone tissue engineering as a promising synthetic substitute for autologous bone grafts. While still considered the reference standard for treatment of large volume bone injuries, autologous grafts are limited in their clinical applications by donor site morbidity, limited tissue availability, and potential for graft failure. The clinical use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) as bone graft substitutes has resulted in serious side effects due in part to the supraphysiologic dose of BMP required for adequate healing. New approaches to treating these large volume injuries are needed. Our proposed strategy utilizes tissue engineering and drug delivery concepts to develop synthetic drug-loaded biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration.

To enhance the osteogenic potential of synthetic scaffolds, we sought to simultaneously deliver two growth factors: recombinant human BMP-7 and recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). We first established an in vitro cell culture model using rabbit mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate and optimize the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment in combination with BMP-7 as a basis for our in vivo studies. We subsequently encapsulated the growth factors in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres with tailored release patterns for each factor. Low molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate FGF-2 in fast releasing nanospheres while high molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate BMP-7 in slow releasing nanospheres. We found that FGF-2 augmented BMP-7-directed ectopic bone formation in a subcutaneous mouse model, and that the synergistic effect was dependent on the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment. We also found that FGF-2 may contribute to enhanced bone formation due to its effects on cell migration and proliferation, as well as its angiogenic and osteogenic effects.

We then established an in vitro model to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells in 2D monolayer and 3D culture on novel nanofibrous spongy microsphere scaffold (NF-SMS). We used a similar PLGA-based drug delivery system to control the release kinetics of FGF-2 and BMP-7 and conjugated drug-loaded PLGA nanospheres to the injectable NF-SMS scaffold. In a critical size cranial defect mouse model, low dose FGF-2 combined with BMP-7 enhanced bone regeneration over BMP-7 alone.

Lastly, we sought to better understand the crosstalk between the FGF-2 and BMP-7 signaling pathways through a series of experiments to measure the effect of FGF-2 on canonical BMP signaling in mouse calvarial osteoblasts. We identified a potential new link between these signaling pathways and propose a new mechanism by which FGF-2 signaling modulates BMP receptor activity, enhancing the phosphorylation of R-Smad1/5/9 proteins.

This research elucidates the criteria for achieving synergy between BMP-7 and FGF-2 through relevant in vitro and in vivo models. It provides guidelines for future development of biomimetic scaffolds with controlled release of multiple relevant biological cues to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.

Using an interdisciplinary lens, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.

This exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam, Osman Khan, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Airbreathing hypersonic flight has the potential to revolutionize global transportation and has been one of the last frontiers in the aerospace industry for over seven decades. Unlike conventional commercial aircraft, air-breathing hypersonic vehicles are naturally interdisciplinary: the aerodynamic, structural and thermal responses are tightly coupled. One of the unresolved technical challenges is the lack of hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws for conducting aerothermoelastic testing. Once such scaling laws were available, the flight test data obtained on scaled models could be extrapolated to full-size vehicles, resulting in a dramatic cost reduction in the development of hypersonic vehicles.

This dissertation aims to achieve refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws using a novel two-pronged methodology, which combines the classical scaling approach with augmentation from numerical simulations of the specific aerothermoelastic problem. First, an efficient aerothermoelastic computational framework is developed. The framework adopts a novel technique that enables the extrapolation of surrogate-based interpolative reduced order aerodynamic models and achieves computational acceleration by four orders of magnitude. The framework also features the linearized stability analysis for efficient identification of aerothermoelastic stability boundary and a tightly-coupled scheme for near-real-time aerothermoelastic simulation of extended flight time. On top of the framework, the development of new aerothermoelastic scaling laws is formulated in the form of a constrained optimization problem, which is solved using a Bayesian optimization approach. The effectiveness of the two-pronged approach is demonstrated by its application to the refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling of a composite skin panel configuration.

Two of the biggest open questions in the Standard Model of Particle Physics are: is the neutrino its own antiparticle, a Majorana particle, and is Peccei-Quinn Symmetry with the resulting axion the solution to the strong CP problem. The answer to these questions is a portal to new physics and the answer to the even bigger questions of the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the nature of dark matter. My group works to address these questions with searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay and ultra-light axions. In this talk, I will review the physics that connects these two efforts, the current status of the fields, and our R&D efforts towards the next-generation experiments.

Making Art Public: A conversation with Mark di Suvero and Christina Olsen (April 24, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63024 63024-15536918@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Public art on a university campus plays a significant role in creating an environment that supports the development of the mind and spirit of students, faculty, and staff. The University of Michigan has an historic and longstanding commitment to public art. The campus is full of icons that evoke the Michigan spirit, but none capture the vital importance of public art on campus like Mark di Suvero’s Orion.

Please join us on Wednesday, April 24 for an opportunity to hear from one of the greatest living sculptors and creators of public art.

Born in Shanghai, China, in 1933, di Suvero immigrated to the United States in 1941 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. An internationally renowned sculptor and pioneer in the use of steel, he began showing his sculptures in the 1950s. Di Suvero is the sculptor of two iconic works on the U-M Ann Arbor campus: Shang, a kinetic sculpture that features a suspended platform that swings, and Orion, a brightly painted, orange-red sculpture made of hand-cut, painted steel. His architectural-scale sculptures have been exhibited in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia, Japan, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. di Suvero is the first living artist to exhibit in the Jardin des Tuileries and the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris and at Millennium Park in Chicago. His work is featured in more than 100 museums and public collections, including the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. An activist for peace and social justice, di Suvero co-founded Park Place Gallery, an artists’ cooperative, in New York City in 1962. In 1977, he established the Athena Foundation to assist artists to fulfill their ambitions. He established Socrates Sculpture Park in 1986 at the site of a landfill in Queens, New York. Di Suvero has received several honors, including the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and the National Medal of Arts.

Christina Olsen is the Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and Chair of the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art. Before coming to Michigan she served as the Class of 1956 Director at the Williams College Museum of Art. Olsen has more than 25 years of leadership experience in museums and foundations, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum and Getty Foundation, and the Portland Art Museum. She is a national leader in debates about the changing role of campus art museums and their relationships with the public and campus, and has lectured frequently on the topic. Olsen has curated and produced many exhibitions and programs, including most recently Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s, currently on view at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art. Olsen is on the board of the Association of Art Museum Directors and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Williams College. She received a BA in history of art, with honors, from the University of Chicago, and an MA and PhD in art history from the University of Pennsylvania.

This program is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art.

The Accidentals (April 24, 2019 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61175 61175-15045298@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 2019 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

Named among Yahoo Music’s “Top 10 Bands to Watch in 2017,” The Accidentals began their adventure in their hometown of Traverse City, MI, when Katie Larson, a sophomore cellist, and Savannah Buist, a junior violinist, were paired for a high school orchestra event. The gifted young musicians became fast friends and before long, bandmates. Dubbing themselves after the musical notes that fall outside of a key signature, they were joined in 2014 by percussionist Michael Dause, and since then national attention has increasingly come their way. Along the road, where they've performed more than 1,000 shows over the last five years, they been open to and influenced by a dizzying variety of musical genres, from classical music to hip-hop. Signed to the major Sony label in 2017, the band has released two albums, including the recent and politically aware "Heavy Flag." See them in the intimate confines of The Ark while you still can!

Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library (April 24, 2019 9:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 60521-14903630@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 2019 9:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
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.
