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:Workshop / Seminar:Special Astronomy/Physics Seminar | Tidal Stellar Streams as Probes of Dark Matter: Detection and Dynamical Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Tidal stellar streams have gained a lot of popularity in the field of astrophysics. These orbit-like structures\, that are formed by the tidal disruption of a globular cluster or a satellite galaxy by the potential of the host galaxy\, serve as “fossils” that encode information regarding the accretion history of our Galaxy. Recently\, it has also been realized that analysis of the morphology and dynamics of star streams provide powerful means to constrain the Milky Way’s gravitational potential and its dark matter distribution\, and can also be useful in probing the very nature of the dark matter particle itself.\n\nThe talk is intended to provide a short introduction on “stellar stream” systems and their importance in various scientific studies. The other highlight of the talk would be the STREAMFINDER algorithm (an algorithm designed to detect stellar streams in the astrophysical catalogues) and the new panoramic sky map of the stellar streams of the Milky Way halo that we obtained by analyzing ESA/Gaia DR2. Towards the end\, I will also mention some of the recent studies that I have been involved in which also employ stellar streams.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Group Sparsity in Regression and PCA
DESCRIPTION:In the field of high-dimensional statistics\, it is commonly assumed that only a small subset of the variables are relevant and sparse estimators are pursued to exploit this assumption. Sparse estimation methodologies are often straightforward to construct\, and indeed there is a full spectrum of sparse algorithms covering almost all statistical learning problems. In contrast\, theoretical developments are more limited and often focus on asymptotic theories. In applications\, non-asymptotic results may be more relevant.\n\nThe goal of this work is to show how non-asymptotic statistical theory can be developed for sparse estimation problems that assume group sparsity. We discuss three different problems: principal component analysis (PCA)\, sliced inverse regression (SIR) and multivariate regression. For PCA\, we study a two-stage thresholding algorithm and provide theories that go beyond the common spiked-covariance model. SIR is then related to PCA in some special settings\, and it is shown that the theory of sparse PCA can be modified to work for SIR. Regression represents another important research direction in high-dimensional analysis. We study a linear regression model in which both the response and predictors are grouped\, as an extension of group Lasso. \n\nDespite the distinctions in these problems\, the proofs of consistency and support recovery share some common elements: concentration inequalities and union probability bounds\, which are also the foundation of most existing sparse estimation theories. The proofs are presented in modules in order to clearly reveal how most sparse estimators can be theoretically justified. Moreover\, we identify those modules that are possibly not optimized to show the limitation of the existing proof techniques and how they could be extended.

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
