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:Lecture / Discussion:U-M/NAS Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this town hall will be to discuss the findings and recommendations from the consensus report\, The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine in Higher Education: Branches from the Same Tree\, released Spring 2018 by the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine (NASEM). The even will also facilitate discussions about strategies for the creation\, evaluation\, and sustainability of courses and programs that integrate across disciplines. The report represents a culmination of a two-year study conducted by a committee of National Academies members including scientists\, engineers\, health professionals\, humanists\, artists\, and industry leaders.  The report argues that integrating the humanities and arts with science\, technology\, engineering\, mathematics\, and medicine results in positive learning outcomes that will help students successfully enter the workforce\, enrich their lives\, and help them become active and informed citizens.  Importantly\, a range of positive educational outcomes resulted from these methods\, including improved written and oral communication skills\, teamwork skills\, ethical decision-making\, critical thinking\, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world settings.

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:Exhibition:The Six Senses of Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Art museums generally give primacy to the sense of sight. Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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. Structured around ecological issues\, the exhibition presents photography\, video\, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials\, disasters\, consumption\, loss\, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, UF Office of the Provost\, National Endowment for the Arts\, C. Frederick and Aase B. Thompson Foundation\, Ken and Laura Berns\, Daniel and Kathleen Hayman\, Ken and Linda  McGurn\, Susan Milbrath\, an anonymous foundation\, UF Center for Humanities and the Public Sphere\, UF Office of Research and Robert and Carolyn Thoburn\, with additional support from a group of environmentally-minded supporters\, the Robert C. and Nancy Magoon Contemporary Exhibition and Publication Endowment\, Harn Program Endowment\, and the Harn Annual Fund.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Tom Porter in honor of the Michigan Climate Action Network\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design and School for Environment and Sustainability. \n

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Local Structure of Random Fields -  Properties and Inference
DESCRIPTION:Advances in data collection and computation tools popularize  localized modeling on temporal or spatial data. Similar to the connection between derivatives and smooth functions\, one approach to studying the local structure of a random field is to look at the tangent field\, which is a stochastic random field obtained as a limit of suitably normalized increment of the random field at any fixed location. This thesis develops theories for tangent fields of any order and new statistical tools for their inference. \n\nOur first project focuses on various properties of tangent fields. In particular\, we show that tangent fields  are self-similar and intrinsically stationary. Those two properties\, along with the assumption of mean-square continuity\, allow us to fully characterize a tangent field via a spectral representation\, which provides a systematic way to obtain useful models.  Our extension of the spectral theory to abstract spaces\, including function spaces\, can be of interest on its own. We also connect our theories with common models in spatial statistics including the Mat\'ern model and its variations. Preliminary inference methods are proposed along with simulation studies. \n\nAn important example of random fields with tangent fields is the multifractional Brownian motion which has been studied extensively. Our second project focuses on a wide range of issues concerning the estimation of the Hurst function of a multifractional Brownian motion when the process is observed on a regular grid. A theoretical lower bound for the minimax risk of this inference problem is established for a wide class of smooth Hurst functions. We also propose nonparametric estimators and show they are rate optimal. Implementation issues  including how to overcome the presence of a nuisance parameter and choose the tuning parameter from data have also been included. An extensive numerical study is conducted to compare our  approach with other approaches. Some explorations about nongrid observations and nonconstant variances are also included.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lynn Miles
DESCRIPTION:Canadian-born songwriter Lynn Miles combines the emotional intensity of Lucinda Williams with the common-touch songcraft of Shawn Colvin and delivers the results in a beautiful melancholy package. In the words of USA Today: \"Miles sings of stark\, desolate loneliness\, and the instruments accompanying her echo in the expanse of the solitude.\" And consider this testimony from The Ark's own former program direcdtor Dave Siglin: \"I presented literally thousands of performers\, including many wonderful singer-songwriters whose music I now cherish. Of all of these\, I find myself listening to the music of Lynn Miles more than that of any other performer who played the club. Her melodies are stunning\, and I think many of her lyrics are absolute poetry capable of standing alone. ... The point of my writing this is that I can easily say Lynn Miles ranks as my favorite singer-songwriter to have ever played The Ark during my tenure over the last forty years. Flat out my favorite.\" Lynn has been touring lately with a duo called The Lynnes\, and it's been a while since we've heard her solo show. Not to be missed!
