SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION: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.

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:Exhibition:Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency
DESCRIPTION:\"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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nIn 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

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:Lecture / Discussion:Exploration of Oral Microbiome Chemical Interactions and its Implications on Human Health
DESCRIPTION:The oral microbial population is extremely complex and diverse\, where > 700 bacterial species interact competitively or cooperatively. These microbes are thought to play important roles in maintenance of oral health. An equally prevalent phenomenon in the oral environment is the presence of dental biofilm\, which makes the bacterial association with tissues multifaceted and prone to many diseases. A recent study suggests that the oral microbiome changes its biofilm associated bacterial population from predominantly Gram-positive bacteria in healthy individuals\, to predominantly Gram-negative pathogens in cases with periodontitis.Moreover\, almost all dental infections are caused by biofilms consisting of a multispecies community\, which makes the system far more resilient from an infectious disease perspective.\n\nHerein\, we describe a robust high throughput antibacterial discovery platform involving key virulence and resistance mechanisms as targets against a consortium of three microbes namely\, Actinomyces viscosus\, Streptococcus oralis\, and Fusobacterium nucleatum. The success of the study represents a proof of concept towards the development of a new discovery platform\, providing solutions for two major bottlenecks that impede the drug discovery pipeline: identification of novel drug leads and overcoming resistance due to indirect microbial targeting.

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:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn 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.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead 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.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION: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.\n \nThis 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.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Aerospace Department Seminar Series: Building Trust in Autonomy - Driving at the Limits of Handling and Interacting with Pedestrians
DESCRIPTION:Nitin Kapania\nPostdoctoral Fellow \nStanford University and University of California\, Berkeley \n\nAutonomy has become a dominant theme across many transportation domains\, from automobiles to aircraft to ships. However\, the interaction of these autonomous systems with humans remains an open challenge. Several examples of this challenge include the interaction between the pilot and autonomous system in transport aircraft and the interaction between autonomous cars and pedestrians. The interaction challenge arises for a number of reasons\, including a lack of mathematical models for human behavior and the need for a massive amount of data required to safely account for all potential interactions. The first half of this talk focuses on one aspect of this challenge\, developing a mathematical model for a pedestrian's behavior and studying its interaction with an automated vehicle at a mid-block\, unsignalized intersection. By modeling pedestrian behavior through the concept of gap acceptance\, we show that a hybrid controller with just four distinct modes allows an autonomous vehicle to successfully interact with a pedestrian across a continuous spectrum of possible crosswalk entry behaviors. The controller is validated through extensive simulation and compared to an alternate POMDP solution\, with experimental results provided on a Hyundai research vehicle for a virtual pedestrian. The second half of this talk will focus on another contribution related to automated driving - a feedback-feedforward steering algorithm that enables an autonomous vehicle to accurately follow a specified trajectory at the friction limits while preserving robust stability margins. Experimental data collected from an Audi TTS driving at the handling limits (0.95 g) on a full length race circuit will demonstrate the performance of the controller design.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDr. Nitin Kapania is a postdoctoral fellow with joint appointments at Stanford University and the University of California\, Berkeley. His research interests are centered on the planning and control of automated vehicles\, with an emphasis on building trust in autonomy by developing algorithms that match or even exceed the performance of the best human drivers. He completed his PhD from Stanford University in 2016\, after which he served as a lecturer at Stanford\, teaching Vehicle Dynamics and Control. Prior to his postdoctoral appointment\, he served as a management consultant at Bain and Company\, developing broad expertise in commercial applications for autonomous driving\, Internet of Things\, and Artificial Intelligence.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Performance:House of Hamill
DESCRIPTION:**Free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above\n\nHouse of Hamill features Brian Buchanan of Enter the Haggis and Rose Baldino of Burning Bridget Cleary.\n\nTheir music has been described as \"Radiohead meets Riverdance\"\; Celtic-inspired\, exciting\, eclectic and unpredictable.\n\nHouse of Hamill’s music occupies a space between traditional Irish music and sophisticated indie/pop.\n\nTogether\, they write unusual\, new fiddle tunes and exciting\, unpredictable original songs while breathing new life into traditional and contemporary songs. Both are confident and unique lead vocalists\, and the blend of their two voices in harmony is hypnotic and irresistible.\n\nWhether House of Hamill is playing songs from their debut album \"Wide Awake\" (2016) or stomping through a set of original jigs and reels from their follow-up \"March Through Storms\" (2018)\, their chemistry onstage is always engaging and often hilarious. Spend an hour listening and you'll leave with tired feet\, a huge smile\, and a new appreciation for the versatility of folk instruments in a modern context.\n\nCheck out their all-violin viral video of Guns n Roses’ “Sweet Child of Mine”:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyvjd68Pm3A\n\n“Their songs are always on the edge of traditional and innovation . . .  their performances are electrifying”.    - Sarah MacArthur\, Highlander Radio

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nThe 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.\n\nBookmarks: 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.\n\n
