Her henna-inspired designs as Mandala paintings are an attempt to capture the ephemeral nature of these everyday art forms onto more enduring surfaces. Mandalas are used for facilitating personal growth\, healing\, grounding and transformation. Thiagarajan’s paintings greet viewers with the familiarity of repetitive patterns\, while creating an exciting opportunity to explore texture and geometry. Based in Wood Dale\, Illinois\, Thiagarajan exhibits her work throughout the Midwest and will be participating in the 2019 Ann Arbor South University Art Fair.

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.” UID:61746-15179130@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61746 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,Culture,Exhibition,Free,Health & Wellness,visual arts,Well-being LOCATION:Taubman Center - Gifts of Art Gallery - Floor 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190314T132405 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190516T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190516T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Shape-Shifting: Surface & Form in Clay by Darcy R. Bowden DESCRIPTION:Darcy R. Bowden has been working in clay for ten years following a forty-year hiatus.

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.

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).

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 UID:63404-15669562@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63404 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Film,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery (Room 100) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190531T063005 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190516T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190516T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BCG Bridge to Consulting Workshop DESCRIPTION:BCG is committed to growing and supporting top talent from among groups currently under-represented in executive ranks\, boards of directors\, and in consulting\, that is the Black/African American\, and Hispanic/Latino populations.

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/ UID:59301-14728376@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190516T181514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190516T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190516T160000 SUMMARY:Other:Cayman Symposium DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDaniel Nomura(UC Berkeley) \, Dustin Maly(U.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This Landau quantization is generally absent in insulators. Here we report a notable exception in an insulator — ytterbium dodecaboride (YbB12). The resistivity of YbB12exhibits distinct quantum oscillations despite having a much larger magnitude than in metals [1]. This unconventional oscillation is shown to arise from the insulating bulk\, even though the temperature dependence of the oscillation amplitude follows the conventional Fermi liquid theory of metals. The large effective masses indicate the presence of a Fermi surface consisting of strongly correlated electrons. Quantum oscillations are also observed in the magnetization of YbB12 [1]. Our result reveals a mysterious dual nature of the ground state in YbB12: it is both a charge insulator and a strongly correlated metal.\n\n[1] Z. xiang et al.\, Science 362\, 65 (2018).
