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:True to Life: Film Director Nancy Savoca’s Quest for Authenticity
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Nancy Savoca aims to be as authentic as possible. Her films are brilliant\, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters\, typically women\, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.\n\nSavoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director\, producer\, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking\, and includes notes\, notebooks\, photos\, and script drafts.\n\nSee the symposium schedule for Character Driven: Exploring the Career and Archives of Nancy Savoca: https://www.lib.umich.edu/announcements/symposium-celebrates-filmmaker-nancy-savoca

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:Other:Dissertation Defense: Statistical Tools for Samples of Weighted Networks with Applications to Neuroimaging
DESCRIPTION:Neuroimaging data on functional connections in the brain are frequently represented by weighted networks. These networks share the same set of labeled nodes corresponding to a fixed atlas of the brain\, while each subject’s network has their own edge weights. This thesis focuses on developing statistical tools for analyzing samples of weighted networks with applications to neuroimaging. \n\nWe first propose a method for modeling such brain networks via linear mixed effects models\, which takes advantage of the community structure\, or functional regions\, known to be present in the brain. The model allows for comparing two populations\, such as patients and healthy controls\, globally\, at functional systems level\, and at individual edge level\, with systems-level inference in particular allowing for a biologically meaningful interpretation. We incorporate correlation between edge weights into the model by allowing for a general variance structure\, and show this leads to much more accurate inference. A thorough study comparing schizophrenics to healthy controls illustrates the full potential of our methods\, and obtains results consistent with the medical literature on schizophrenia. \n\nWhile we focus on networks as the main object of analysis\, auxillary information about subjects is frequently available. The subject’s age is a particularly important covariance\, since studying how the brain changes over time can lead to insights about brain development in children and adolescents and the effects of aging for older subjects. A typical neuroimaging study\, however\, is cross-sectional rather than longitudinal\, meaning we measure subjects of many different ages\, but only once. We developed two methods for analyzing such samples of multiple\, time-stamped networks. One is a parametric approach utilizing a linear mixed effects model with age included as a covariate\; the other one is a nonparametric method which can be viewed as a network version of principal component analysis\, where we look for components that explain age-related trends and vary smoothly with age. Both approaches take network community structure into account and allow for concise and interpretable representation of the data by obtaining developmental curves for functional regions of the brain that vary smoothly with age. We apply the methods to fMRI data of subjects who are 8 to 22 years old\, and extract developmental curves consistent with the current understanding of brain maturation in neuroscience.\n\nClustering is of special interest in neuroimaging studies of mental illness\, because psychiatrists believe that many psychiatric conditions present in multiple distinct and not yet identified subtypes. Clustering brain connectivity networks of patients with a certain disorder can lead to discovering these subtypes\, and ideally identifying the differences in connectivity patterns that distinguish between subtypes. Clustering with a large number of features is challenging in itself\, and the network nature of the observations presents additional difficulties. Our goal is to develop a clustering method that respects the network nature of the data\, allows for feature selection\, and scales well to high dimensions. One general method for clustering and feature selection in high dimensions is sparse K-means\, which performs feature selection by minimizing the K-means objective function plus a lasso penalty. Here we develop network-aware sparse K-means\, using a network-induced penalty for simultaneously clustering weighted networks and performing feature selection. We also develop a Gaussian mixture model version of the algorithm\, particularly useful when features are highly correlated\, which is the case in neuroimaging. We illustrate the method on simulated networks and an fMRI dataset of youth.

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.

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:Exhibition:The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS\, DISASTERS\, CONSUMPTION\, LOSS\, AND JUSTICE\n \nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene\, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wang Qingsong/Detroit/Beijing
DESCRIPTION:AN EXHIBITION ABOUT THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE ACTION IN TWO CITIES\n \nIn The Bloodstained Shirt (2018)\, Chinese artist Wang Qingsong restages in Highland Park\, Michigan\, an iconic 1959 drawing by Wang Shikuo of peasants rising up against a cruel landlord and triumphantly reclaiming their right to the land. Wang’s projects are usually located in China\, but while visiting southeast Michigan he was struck by the similarities between the effects of inequitable real estate development on local communities in Detroit\, Highland Park\, and his native Beijing. His large-scale photograph\, set in an abandoned factory building in Highland Park and featuring more than seventy volunteers\, collapses two moments in history to present a vivid reminder of the human consequences of the ruthless pursuit of profit and the power of collective action. The exhibition includes works created in collaboration with area residents that give voice to their concerns and their hopes for transformation and renewal.\n \nThis project\, which bridges between Detroit\, Michigan\, and Beijing\, China\, resonates with UMMA's mission to engage in conversation about local and global issues. UMMA is pleased to present this art project in which the participation of UM faculty members\, students\, and Detroit's community members has been critical.\n \n Watch the Chinese Contemporary Art: Curation\, Collection\, and Connection Symposium here.\n\nLead support for Wang Qingsong/Detroit/Beijing is provided by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan\, the University of Michigan Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Herbert W. and  Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rose Cousins
DESCRIPTION:Rose Cousins just might be Nova Scotia's answer to Iris DeMent\, or even to Kate Wolf. Says Lifestyle Nova Scotia: \"Cousins writes songs strong on story\, melody\, and honest observations ... that demand an unaffected but beautiful voice.\" Her album \"We Have Made a Spark\" took home a Canadian Juno Award along with many other awards\, including a spot on NPR’s Top 10 Americana & Folk Albums list. That album was recorded in Boston\, where Rose spends part of her time\, and where she's found strong support from the city's vibrant songwriting community. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice\, the songs of Rose Cousins make you feel as though she sings for you\, about your life. \"We develop patterns that keep us from moving forward\,\" Rose says. \"It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the uncomfortable\, painful things we work so hard to avoid. Reward comes from recognizing the obstacle exists and pushing through fear.\"

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
