Thanks to advances in color lithography and photo-engraving as well as resurgent interest in small-press publishing, richly illustrated and typeset “little magazines” flourished between 1890 and 1920. The materials collected in this exhibit, all held in the Special Collections Research Center, showcase not only the variety, beauty, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market, industrial, bourgeois, and nationalist print cultures.

The magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism, decadence, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Each of Laurie LeBreton’s paper tapestries are a kind of meditation or prayer. Some works she created to reach out to a greater power, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile, yet it is also pliable, absorbs color beautifully, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty, sensuality and healing qualities.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan), involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples, pyramids, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts, values, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos, text, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.

TITLE: Understanding of Ion-Solid Interaction and Defect Evolution in Zinc-Blende Structured Materials

CHAIR: Prof. Fei Gao

ABSTRACT: Zinc-blende structured materials have received considerable attentions due to their excellent performance in many fields. The major benefit has attributed to high power space energy systems and nuclear reactors. Their applications can expose to high energy radiation, including neutrons, ions and cosmic rays. Under these conditions, defects are generated in materials in amounts significantly exceeding their equilibrium concentrations. The accumulation of defects can lead to undesired consequences, which may alter the performance of the materials. Therefore, the fundamental understanding of ion-solid interaction and defect evolution is a key factor to the success of both nuclear and electronic materials. This thesis focuses on the study of zinc-blende materials, including GaAs, GaN, InAs, and SiC for their possible applications in both nuclear and space fields.
SiC has its unique capability in the applications of nuclear fuel, cladding and fusion structure materials. In tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) fuel particles, SiC coating is considered as a major barrier for the release of fission products (FPs). However, the release of some metallic FPs (i.e. Ag, Pd, Ru, and I) from fully intact fuel particles raises serious concern on the safety of high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs). This thesis first addresses atomistic process of FP diffusion in SiC. Ab initio calculations are used to determine the defects configurations, migration energy barriers and pathways of FPs in SiC. Based on the ab initio results, the interatomic potentials of FPs in SiC are developed and evaluated to serve as a link between the density functional theory (DFT) and next coarser level. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been employed to investigate FP accommodation in SiC, interactions with point defects and grain boundaries, and their diffusion kinetics. These findings lead to a conclusion that the grain boundary diffusion of FPs is faster than bulk diffusion with a strong segregation at the GBs. Analysis of the radiation enhanced diffusion obtained by experiments and diffusion by modeling work for Ru and I has suggested that the interstitial migration is likely to be a major mechanism under irradiation condition. Moreover, the diffusivities can vary by grain boundary types, whereas high energetic grain boundaries can provide the fastest paths for FPs to diffuse. An elevation of 1.5 eV in GB energy can result in 2-3 orders of magnitude difference in Ag diffusion coefficient.
We have further explored the defect production, clustering, and its evolution in GaAs, GaN, InAs, and SiC, and determined non-ionizing energy loss (NIEL) that indicates a rate of degradation in electronic devices in space applications. Nonlinear defect production is observed with an increasing of primary knock-on (PKA) energy in GaAs and InAs. This effect, which corresponds to the direct-impact amorphization, is observed for PKA energy over 2 keV. Gallium nitride is however different and presents a pseudometallic behavior (PMB) resulting in a majority of surviving defects to be single interstitials or vacancies. SiC also has a limited number and size of defect clusters due to the formation of multiple subcascades with low energy density. With the damage density evaluated from MD simulations, a model to determine NIEL has been developed, which can be used to qualify the radiation degradation in space application. The NIELs for proton, alpha, and Xe particles are then predicted, and provide a pathway to evaluate the capabilities for the space applications of these materials. The comparisons of defect creation, density, and effective NIEL suggest that GaN may be the best candidate as a radiation hard material for space applications at high-energy regime. For low incident particle energies at which the NIEL ratio of InAs-to-GaN is less than 1, the performance of InAs may be superior to that of GaN.

Refugees have been at the forefront of political discussion in the United States as the Syrian crisis escalates and xenophobia heightens. Much has been said regarding these refugees, but all too often the voices of refugees themselves are left out of the conversation.

This exhibit uses the data collected from a Photovoice project, combining photography and transcriptions from groups discussions with adolescent refugees to better understand the lived experiences of adolescent refugees. The gallery highlights five main themes that were discussed: Stability and Security, Interpersonal Difficulties, Rooting Factors, Personal Growth, and Contribution.

The Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. During a 23-year career with the Clements, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps, head of research and publications, associate director, and acting director. Daily contact with the collections has inspired reflections on some of the things that the Clements does very well, driving his exhibit themes around active collecting, conservation, solving mysteries, and more.

Dunnigan’s selections include poignant manuscripts, striking visual imagery and cartography, and some of his favorite materials from the collections, drawing especially from his expertise in the mapping of the Great Lakes. This valedictory exhibit in the Clements’s soaring Avenir Foundation Reading Room dwells on seven areas of commitment and illustrates the concepts with some of the Library's most evocative and handsome holdings.

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.

In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s, artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. During these decades, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction, Color, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.

Ceal Floyer: Things (August 30, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63427 63427-15694099@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, August 30, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Visitors entering Floyer’s installation Things (2009) in the Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery encounter a collection of identical plinths that would ordinarily be used to display art objects in the Museum, but these platforms are empty. In place of visible objects, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language, meaning, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.

The installation, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art, is characteristically austere, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art, in which the idea, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities, is the essence of the artwork.

Lead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design, Institute for the Humanities, CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund, and School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

Copies and Invention in East Asia (August 30, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63517 63517-15769723@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, August 30, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Far from being frowned upon as uncreative, in China, Korea, and Japan, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.

Lead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, School of Information, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights (August 30, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62085 62085-15286968@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, August 30, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights presents an enigmatic world filled with unexpected and unsettling sensory temptations. In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds, caterpillars, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies, which rain melted ice cream, whipped topping, candies, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations, the flowers and plants begin to decay, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.

Support for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit, Amelia and Eliot Relles, and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

New at UMMA: Egon Schiele (August 30, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 63428-15694199@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, August 30, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Egon Schiele (1890-1918), one of the most well-known and controversial figures of Austrian Expressionism, made more than 3,000 works over the span of his short life and career. Working at the turn of the twentieth century, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes, portraits, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka, George Grosz, and Gustav Klimt, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.
