SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Football & Pets: Paper Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit of Steve Wirtz’ sculptures features a selection of his Dynamic Football series and animal works. The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Oil on Water: Painting on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1                                                                       \n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pen & Ink Queens
DESCRIPTION:Introverted and shy by nature\, Laura Cavanagh uses her art as an outlet to create humorous larger than life personalities. In Pen & Ink Queens\, Cavanagh draws inspiration from medieval and renaissance-era garments to adorn quirky\, queenly figures. Cavanagh works in a style that is hyper-detailed and intricate\, so she remains present during the creative process. A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit. Cavanagh makes a concerted effort to exhibit as much as possible in her home state\, and when she is not in her studio\, you can find her cooking\, practicing yoga or playing with her cat\, Benji.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Horror & Enchantment
DESCRIPTION:We are fascinated by what we fear. Misery appalls and magnetises. Creation means possibility but also beckons dissolution and catastrophe. Change – perhaps most radically projected as “conversion” – is at once an exhilarating and menacing prospect. When meanings are destabilised and predictabilities lost\, experiences of opportunity and of awe jostle with feelings of anxiety and insignificance. Even love casts its shadows\, turning what is intimate and familiar into the province of comfort but also dread. Revered ancestors become ghosts\, dear neighbours witches. There is desire in absence\, monster in treasure\, chaos in awe.  \n\nA distinguished\, international selection of scholars from across the humanities and social sciences gathers in Ann Arbor to explore the entwinement of horror and enchantment – amidst the intrusions and disturbances that characterised the medieval and early modern worlds – in an array of the post-colonial settings and cultural imaginations they helped to set in motion – and in a recognition of the fact that to investigate the coincidence of horror and enchantment in the past is also to inquire into ourselves\, and into the volatilities and predicaments of our own times and places.\n\nconvened by:\nKenneth Mills\, University of Michigan\nKris Lane\, Tulane University\nAto Quayson\, Stanford University\n\nFeaturing:\nJosiah Blackmore\, Harvard\nClifton Crais\, Emory\nHarry Garuba\, Capetown\nHelen Hills\, York (UK)\nMegan Holmes\, Michigan\nKris Lane\, Tulane\nPaul Christopher Johnson\, Michigan\nAnne Lester\, Johns Hopkins\nJeff Malpas\, Tasmania\nKenneth Mills\, Michigan\nMarcy Norton\, Pennsylvania\nKatrina B.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Yo Tengo Nombre
DESCRIPTION:This series of paintings was inspired by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and the images of migrant families being separated and detained at the US-Mexico border that dominated media outlets across the nation since the summer of 2017. The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos  in 2014 while working for an intake agency.\n\n\"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization\, vulnerability\, fear\, loss\, and criminalization\, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood.\" -Ruth Leonela Buentello\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists
DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Samory Kpotufe\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe problem of transfer and domain adaptation is ubiquitous in machine learning and concerns situations where predictive technologies\, trained on a given source dataset\, have to be transferred to a new target domain that is somewhat related. For example\, transferring voice recognition trained on American English accents to apply to Scottish accents\, with minimal retraining. A first challenge is to understand how to properly model the ‘distance’ between source and target domains\, viewed as probability distributions over a feature space.\n\nIn this talk we will argue that various existing notions of distance between distributions turn out to be pessimistic\, i.e.\, these distances might appear high in many situations where transfer is possible\, even at fast rates. Instead we show that some new notions of distance tightly capture a continuum from easy to hard transfer\, and furthermore can be adapted to\, i.e.\, do not need to be estimated in order to perform near-optimal transfer. Finally we will discuss near-optimal approaches to minimizing sampling of target data (e.g. sampling Scottish speech)\, when one already has access to a given amount of source data (e.g. American speech). \n\nThis talk is based on some joint work with G. Martinet\, and ongoing work with S. Hanneke. \n\nShort-Bio: \nSamory Kpotufe is Associate Professor in Statistics at Columbia University. He works in machine learning\, with an emphasis on nonparametric methods and high dimensional statistics. Generally\, his interests are in understanding basic learning scenarios under practical constraints from modern application domains. He has previously held positions at the Max Planck Institute in Germany\, the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago\, and Princeton University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Things I Like Most About the Clements Library
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nDunnigan’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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WiAn: White Garden With White Noise
DESCRIPTION:October 5 - November 2\, 2019\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 4\, 6-8 pm\nCenter Galleries at the College for Creative Studies\, Detroit\n\nWiAn: White Garden With White Noise is co-presented by Center Galleries and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n

DESCRIPTION:This workshop helps to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor. Faculty and students will work independently to identify their own objectives and styles initially\, and then faculty-student pairs have time to work together to develop a mentoring plan: a two-way document to codify goals\, needs\, and shared expectations. Our mentoring committee places high value on this exercise because we know that of Rackham students who have written mentoring plans\, 86% report that they find them useful. \nRegistration is required of both the faculty member and the student. Lunch is provided.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice
DESCRIPTION:In September 2019\, the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nLead 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Walter Oltmann
DESCRIPTION:Infant Skull II\, a woven “tapestry” made out of very fine aluminum wire\, only reveals its shape when seen from afar. Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Power Family Program for Inuit Art: Tillirnanngittuq​
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating the exceptional gift of 20th-century Inuit art to the Museum by the Power family\n \nTwo fascinating stories converge in one very special exhibition: One tracks the development and subsequent worldwide acclaim of contemporary Inuit art from the Canadian Arctic. The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Human Performance Seminar (836): Matt Reed\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:The Human Performance Seminar Series (836) from the Center for Ergonomics is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nThe Meaning is the Variance: Population Heterogeneity Should be the Focus of Ergonomics and Biomechanics Research\n\nAbstract:\nThe “50th-percentile” male is never the limiting case\, and the “5th-percentile female” and “95th-percentile male” don’t exist. Why do people keep talking about them? I will discuss why mean and univariate effects in ergonomics and biomechanics often leave out most of the interesting phenomena and why we should focus our efforts in education and research on rigorous\, multivariate consideration of population heterogeneity with examples from industrial ergonomics\, product design\, and crash safety.\n\nBio:\nMatthew P. Reed\, PhD.\, is the Don B. Chaffin Collegiate Research Professor and head of the Biosciences Group of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. He also has appointments in Integrative Systems and Design\, where he is Chair of the interdisciplinary Design Science program\, and Industrial and Operations Engineering\, where he leads the Human Motion Simulation Laboratory in the Center for Ergonomics. Dr. Reed’s research focuses on vehicle safety\, engineering anthropometry\, and ergonomics. He is an author of more than 250 publications relating to humans in engineered systems. Dr. Reed is a Fellow in SAE International and a member of the SAE Human Accommodation and Design Devices Committee\, Driver Vision Standards Committee\, and Truck and Bus Human Factors Committee. He has received outstanding paper awards from SAE\, including the Arch T. Colwell Merit Award\, the Myers Award\, and the Isbrandt Award for crash safety research. He currently serves as vice-president of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury.

Sexual violence is often experienced in the context of an institution (such as a university)\; our research indicates that associated institutional behaviors can harm or help.  In this presentation I will present concepts and research related to these issues: betrayal trauma theory & betrayal blindness\, DARVO (Deny\, Attack\, & Reverse Victim & Offender\; a harmful perpetrator response to disclosure)\, institutional betrayal\, and institutional courage.  I will conclude by offering concrete steps that individuals and institutions can take to respond well to disclosures and to address sexual harassment and promote institutional courage.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Writing History\, Writing Biography: Capturing H.G. Adler's Many Worlds\"
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 11th\, 3308 MLB\, 2-4pm\n\nH.G. Adler (1910 - 1988) lived at the center of his times and on their margin. A survivor of Theresienstadt\, Auschwitz\, and two other concentration camps\, he chronicled his experience and the loss of others in two dozen books of seminal history\, modernist fiction\, formally intricate poems\, and insightful essays. Yet\, despite close friendship with Leo Baeck\, Elias Canetti\, and Heinrich Böll\, he remained  a writer's writer\, largely unknown and neglected. Thus\, unlike with better known figures\, the story of his life must be told through the times in which he lived\, as well as how the same lived through him. On the publication of H.G. Adler: A Life in Many Worlds\, biographer and translator Peter Filkins discusses the intersection of biography and history in shaping the story of Adler's life and work.\n\nPeter Filkins is an award-winning poet and translator. His authorized biography H.G. Adler: A Life in Many Worlds appears in 2019 from Oxford University Press\, and he has translated three novels by H.G. Adler\, Panorama\, The Journey\, and The Wall\, as well as the collected poems of Ingeborg Bachmann\, Darkness Spoken. The recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Leon Levy Center for Biography\, the DAAD\, and the American Academy in Berlin\, he is the Richard B. Fisher Professor of Literature at Bard College at Simon’s Rock\, and also teaches translation at Bard College.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A Ph.D. is preparation for the professoriate in most disciplines\, but many people with a Ph.D. find careers outside of academia. Data science is one of the wide range of non-academic career paths. Data science leverages skills trained in scientific disciplines including data interpretation\, programming\, and statistics to ask and answer industry-relevant questions. At Facebook\, we rely on our data scientists to help us decide how to create products that ‘“give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.”

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Talk: David Nordsletten
DESCRIPTION:The human heart is a complex electromechanical pump\, translating electrophysiological stimulation into tissue contraction and the ejection of blood from its chambers to drive cardiovascular blood flow. Despite being incredibly adaptable and robust\, the human heart can experience a myriad of maladies leading to disruption and dysfunction. Core to cardiac physiology\, and pathophysiology\, is the efficient interaction between solid tissue and blood\, translating mechanical work into blood flow. Understanding this interaction\, principles of fluid mechanics\, turbulence and fluid-structure interaction provide a core foundation. From recent work on image-based estimation of pressure loss\, to analytic solutions and computational methods for fluid-structure interaction\, to multigrid-in-time\, this talk will explore some of the mathematical techniques useful for evaluating the behavior of blood and its impact on the heart.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium: Regina Rini (York University)
DESCRIPTION:Most of the literature on moral disagreement is framed in strictly epistemic terms. I argue that this framing is misleading\, as moral disagreement is unlike peer disagreement in other epistemic domains\, owing to the special character of the moral domain. I defend the claim that disagreement with peers gives us reason to reduce confidence in disputed moral beliefs\, but not for epistemic reasons. Rather\, we have moral reason to do so. Reducing confidence in this way is morally required by recognition respect for the moral agency of the peer with whom we disagree.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: USGS Products to Inform Earthquake Respons
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) monitors and reports on earthquakes  with the overall mission to provide information to reduce risk and loss. Soon after an earthquake occurs anywhere on the globe\, the USGS produces a suite of products that characterize the shaking and the potential impacts to people and the built environment providing situational awareness to decision makers\, emergency management\, the media and the public. Much of this information is delivered through the EHP website that receives millions of visits in the hours after an earthquake making it one of the most heavily trafficked websites in the Federal Government. The USGS has also begun issuing warnings for the imminent arrival of strong ground shaking from earthquakes along the west coast of the US. The ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system promises to provide a tens of seconds for people and machines to take protective actions in order to reduce losses. The recent Ridgecrest\, California earthquake sequence  provided a key test of USGS systems and the ability to deliver information in today's technological and media environment. \n\nDr. Jonathan Godt is the Senior Science Advisor for Earthquake and Geologic Hazards and leads a federal effort dedicated to science and information delivery to reduce the risk from earthquakes and other geologic hazards. Dr. Godt joined the USGS as a student in the mid-1990s and in his career has been both a research scientist and a manager.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Crisis in the Alliance? Tension in the Japan-South Korea Relationship and Implications for US Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:Panelists: Celeste Arrington (George Washington University)\n                  Gi-Wook Shin (Stanford University)\n                  Yuki Tatsumi (Stimson Center)\n                  Dan Slater (University of Michigan)\n\nSponsor: Korea Foundation\n\nCosponsors: UM Center for Japanese Studies\, UM International Institute\, UM Nam Center for Korean Studies\n\nAbstract: \nThe relationship between Japan and South Korea has often been fraught with tensions reflecting their complicated history going back centuries. In the modern era\, Japan’s colonization of Korea and its legacy have marred the bilateral relationship despite their shared values as the two most advanced democracies in the region and their status as the most important allies of the U.S. in East Asia. In the last couple of years\, the tension has reached a boiling point as the two countries began to discard various agreements in trade\, security\, and other areas. Meanwhile\, the US government sat on the sidelines for the most part\, seeming to play a less proactive role than in the past. In the context of trade conflict with China\, nuclear developments in North Korea\, and growing assertiveness of Russia in the region\, further deterioration of Japan-South Korea relations would be detrimental not only to the two countries but also to the U.S. and other players in the Asia-Pacific region. In this panel discussion\, experts of the region will offer their views on the current tensions in the region and their implications for the regional politics and U.S. foreign policy.\n\nMission of the Korea Foundation:\nSince its inception in 1991\, The Korea Foundation aims to connect people to people and serve as a bridge between Korea and the global community through a diverse array of academic and cultural programs and activities.\nAs a lead public diplomacy institution of Korea\, the Korea Foundation has over the past two decades tried to explore timely avenues to reach out general public by organizing insightful lectures and intellectual events on regional as well as global issues that are the focus of public attention.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Of Commodities and Frontiers: Looking for \"Capitalism\" on the Edges of Britain’s Indian Colonies
DESCRIPTION:In a longer project called The Postcolonial Commons\, I am interested in the emergence of fluid political subjectivities around questions of defending existing commons\, and creating new ones\, in two regions of India: of small-scale fishers in coastal Kerala\, and small farmers in the Garhwal region of present-day Uttarakhand state. I am in conversation with strands of contemporary political theory (represented\, among others\, by Hardt and Negri\, Federici\, de Angelis\, Zizek\, and Bauwens) that posit a future organised around ‘the commons’. However\, while these writings are futuristic\, I suggest that they have an underpinning narrative of the transition from the ‘pre-capitalist commons’ to the ‘commons unmade through capitalism’\, which has implications for the political imaginaries outlined in their works. I challenge their orthodox account of this transition with drawing on writings on ‘postcolonial capitalism’\, including my own recent work.\n\nFor this seminar\, I offer two sections of the ‘historical’ part of the larger project: a discussion of the historiographical challenges in reconstructing ‘the pre-capitalist commons’ and the transitions it undergoes ‘under capitalism’ in relation to Kerala fisheries and Garhwali forests\, and the limits of the ‘commodity frontiers’ approach to narrate this process. Among other things\, the very nature of ‘rule’\, and the problems of establishing it in these ‘unruly’ spaces\, has a bearing on the sources – rather\, the lack thereof – on which an account of such a process can be reconstituted. Accounts are few\, and the reliability of some sources is uncertain\, for much of the period of early colonial conquest. And what accounts there are do not point to the transformation of fish or forest into ‘commodities’ until relatively recently. Nor are capitalist production relations visible in any meaningful sense. The conditions for fish and forests becoming ‘commodities’\, and for the emergence of capitalism in these sectors\, come from a number of scientific\, technological and other governmental innovations under late-colonial and early-postcolonial developmentalism. I conclude by identifying the implications of my account for radical political theory of the commons.\n\nSubir Sinha studied History at the University of Delhi (BA) and Political Science at Northwestern University (MS\, PhD)\, and has taught at Northwestern University and the University of Vermont. His research interests are institutional change\, sustainable development\, social movements\, state-society relations in development\, and South Asian politics\, with a current focus on decentralised development in India\, early postcolonial planning\, and on the global fishworkers' movement.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

They set in motion over 500 construction projects\, and trained over 300 Soviet designers\, technicians\, and draftsmen in American methods of design and implementation. During the very years in which architects from Detroit helped build Soviet factories\, in notable cases with prefabricated components imported from the US\, urban theories on linear city morphology as a fitting mode for industrialization blossomed in the USSR. English-language publications such as USSR in Construction featured compelling images of these monumental achievements\, depicting Soviet progress in culture as well as technology. “Soviet Detroit\,” as the industrial capital Nizhny-Novgorod would be called\, was only one of many America-inspired cities developed during the first Five-Year Plan\, which also included “Sibirsky Chicago” (Novosibirsk) and “Soviet Gary” (Magnitogorsk). \n\nBy the end of 1932\, most of the American experts had returned\, both to Detroit and to sites spread across the country. Over the four years of their stay\, American journalists had celebrated their work on a regular basis. As the US economy recovered from the Great Depression and moved inexorably toward war\, a small number of architects and engineers who participated in Soviet industrialization performed comparable tasks back in the United States. Linear urbanism grew up around American metropolises\, particularly in the Midwest\, in new communities such as Livonia\, Michigan\, strung alongside massive new factory complexes. The impact of Soviet urbanism on these communities remains to be assessed.\n\nMoscow x Detroit: Transnational Modernity in the Built Environment will bring together distinguished historians of art\, architecture\, urbanism\, and social history\, to consider a critical moment in twentieth-century history\, one that ramifies outward from the late 1920s to ripple through the later industrialization of the US and the USSR\, affecting culture and the built environment for decades after. Its focus will be transnational exchange in both directions (initially toward the USSR\, but also back to the USA)\, infrastructure development\, and the impact of built environments (factories\, housing\, green zones) on cities built to serve industry\, but surviving long after its evacuation. Participants\, including specialists in both the American and the Soviet situation\, will consider specific spatial questions\, as well as broader analyses of the hidden effects of the “second Industrial Revolution” on culture\, social organization\, and the built environment on two continents.\n\nOnly recently has the complex of industrial developments that unfolded between Moscow and Detroit begun to receive notice in architectural and urbanistic scholarship. Groundbreaking research has focused new attention on the larger ramifications of this massive transfer of knowledge in both directions. Looking further into these developments\, Moscow x Detroit is scheduled to coincide with the opening of an exhibition at The Canadian Centre for Architecture\, Amerikanizm: Russian Architecture in Search of a New New World\, that opens in Fall 2019 (curator: Jean-Louis Cohen). \n\nOrganizers:\nDepartment of the History of Art\, University of Michigan in coordination with The Canadian Centre for Architecture\, Montreal\n\nClaire Zimmerman\, University of Michigan\nChristina Crawford\, Emory University\nJean-Louis Cohen\, Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University

SUMMARY:Performance:Out There: A Performance by art duo Princess
DESCRIPTION:Out There (2019\; 4K video\, live performance\; 55:20) is a concept video album and live performance piece by the band Princess. It explores the role men ought to be playing during the current cultural reckoning of misogyny. The video’s science fiction narrative explores the power of the Divine Feminine through collaborations with JD Samson\, visual artist Jennifer Meridian\, and the band TEEN.\n\nPrincess is a performance art duo\, a collaboration between Alexis Gideon and Michael O’Neill that uses music as the backbone of a multi-disciplinary practice. Princess has performed at the Andy Warhol Museum\, The Bass\, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts\, MCA San Diego\, MIT List Visual Arts Center\, MOCA Cleveland\, New Museum\, Wexner Center for the Arts and many other institutions.\n\nPrincess explores queerness and the concept of masculinity. Simultaneously gay\, straight\, queer\, masculine and feminine\, Princess embodies the fluidity and coherence between the seemingly contradictory. Princess was formed in 2004 in the Chicago DIY Performance space Texas Ballroom. The duo released a self-titled LP and performed until 2006 when they went on to pursue other paths\, reuniting for this project in 2017. \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/out-there-a-performance-by-art-duo-princess-tickets-70631796605

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Stars Rising: Why U-M's Detroit Observatory Matters and Where It's Going
DESCRIPTION:Why is an observatory in Ann Arbor named for Detroit? What made the Detroit Observatory a milestone for the University of Michigan and American higher education? How was the Observatory central to the growth of American astronomical science\, when did it lose that role\, and how did it get it back? And who were some of the people who made it all happen? Gary Krenz of the University’s Bentley Historical Library will explore these and other questions in this talk. In its 165-year history\, the Observatory has gone through many transformations\, and it is currently going through another—the construction of an addition to improve access\, education\, and programming. Krenz will also look at what that project entails and what lies ahead.\n\nThis event is in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library.\n\nThis lecture launches a new lecture series on University of Michigan history\, sponsored by the Bentley Historical Library.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance
DESCRIPTION:Young Frederic\, who has spent his formative years as a junior pirate\, plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King and beginning his courtship of Mabel. But because he was born in a Leap Year\, Frederic isn’t technically 21– and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives\, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King’s new nemesis: Mabel’s father.\n\nThis updated version of the original D’Oyly Carte production marries the wit of British Music Hall and the American show-biz know-how of a combustive Broadway musical\; including dance\, visual gags\, and many well-loved songs such as “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General\,” “Poor Wand’ring One\,” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One.” The Pirates of Penzance is the quintessence of silly\, a delightful excuse to indulge in the literate humor of Gilbert’s libretto\, the enchanting melodies of Arthur Sullivan’s score\, and the powerhouse talents of our Musical Theatre students.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sense and Sensibility
DESCRIPTION:Adapted by Kate Hamill. \nBased on the novel by Jane Austen. \nDirected by Priscilla Lindsay. \n\nWhen sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are left financially destitute by their father’s sudden passing\, they must navigate the perilous social circles in their new\, vulnerable status. As potential suitors come and go\, so do their hopes for true love. Full of gossip\, humor\, and heart-felt moments\, this classic story examines the effects of societal pressures on love and life. The play Sense and Sensibility premiered in 2014 at New York City’s Bedlam Theater Company\, returning for another\, longer run in 2016\, and was named The New York Times Critic’s Pick for both years. The New York Times calls Sense and Sensibility a “bouncy\, jaunty take on Austen…[that] remains remarkably true to the values and priorities of its source.”
