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:ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE (VANISHING?) FUTURE OF WORK
DESCRIPTION:Kentaro Toyama is W. K. Kellogg Professor of Community Information at the University of Michigan School of Information\, a fellow of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT\, and author of Geek Heresy: Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology. In previous lives\, Kentaro taught at Ashesi University in Ghana and co-founded Microsoft Research India\, where he did research on the application of information and communication technology to international development.\n\nWill artificial intelligence (AI) take away jobs or usher in a prosperous utopia? Will self-driving cars reduce our use of fossil fuels or accelerate emissions? What will a college degree be worth when knowledge work can be done by machine? This talk considers these and other questions through the lens of technology’s “Law of Amplification.” Paradoxically\, what is needed most in a world of advanced technology is greater attention to human values.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Work. How Will Your Grandchildren Make a Living? The next lecture will be January 31\, 2019. The subject is: Preparing Students For The Future of Work.

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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Physics Graduate Student Symposium (PGSS) | Multi-Scale Problems in Quantum Chromodynamics
DESCRIPTION:The origin of structure in the proton still evades a detailed description by first-principles calculations. Instead\, the structure is extracted from global fits to its data. In proton-proton collisions\, the current extraction procedure relies on our ability to independently describe each proton. It has been predicted\, however\, that correlations between two protons prohibit an independent description of each proton in certain scattering processes.  These correlations may provide a powerful source of insight into the origin of collective structures in strongly-bound few-body systems. In this talk\, I will explain how to probe these correlations and present measurements by the PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven National Lab in Long Island\, New York. Measurements are also planned by the LHCb experiment at CERN in Geneva\, Switzerland.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dialogues in Contemporary Thought VI | On Life
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Branka Arsic (Columbia University) will be giving a public lecture on Thursday May 30th\, at 4 p.m. QA to follow. \n\nDescription: My talk starts out from remarks Melville left in his Encantadas concerning the Galapagos tortoises and goes on to examine the scientific and historical archives to which he had recourse\, from Cuvier and Broderip to Porter and Delano. On that basis I seek to reconstruct exactly what\, in the early 19th century\, prompted scientists\, doctors\, and naturalists\, as well as traders and ordinary seamen\, to obsess about the tortoise as a life form\, one that was brought to the brink of extinction by the middle of the century. I argue that the reason why both physiologists in Continental scientific laboratories\, and whalers traversing Antillean waters in trade ships\, chose this particular animal to answer the question of what life is\, derived from their ideas about what constituted pain\, suffering\, and cruelty. By rehearsing such debates over the presumed expressions of suffering\, apathy and indifference on the part of the tortoise\, I work to suggest that what scientists understood as apathy towards pain licensed the production of a bizarre taxonomy of life forms based on a creaturely capacity to resist violence. I\, therefore\, pay significant attention to the differences that science advanced between biologically - as opposed to psychologically - rational and irrational life forms\, which leads to my concluding analysis of why\, as a consequence\, the irrational was designated as available for experimentation and vivisection.

SUMMARY:Performance:Al Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Al Stewart was born in Glasgow\, Scotland\, in 1945\, and moved with his family to Bournemouth\, a seaside town in the south of England\, at an early age. A strong dose of Bob Dylan’s original songs shifted his focus from instrumentalist to lyricist and vocalist. In 1965\, Al moved to London and became the emcee at the famed Les Cousins folk club\, rubbing shoulders with young talents like Paul Simon\, Ralph McTell\, Bert Jansch\, and Cat Stevens. After several albums written in autobiographical mode\, Al shifted his lyrical gaze outward\, into history\, literature and current events\, an approach debuted on 1973’s \"Past\, Present & Future.\" Al’s next album exploded in America: \"Year of the Cat\,\" released in 1976\, spawned two Top 20 hits (the title song and \"On the Border\")\, and itself became a million-selling record. After Al relocated to California\, where he still resides\, his next album\, 1978’s \"Time Passages\,\" repeated the success of its predecessor\, selling another million copies and spinning off the Top 10 title track and Top 30 single\, \"Song on the Radio.\" In the early 1990s\, Al returned to his folk roots with \"Famous Last Words\,\" which utilized acoustic instrumentation and traditional folk and classical styles. He's never stopped creating completely original music—or being able to conjure other times and distant places with well-chosen words and evocative music.
