Her sculptural works are infused with symbolism and metaphors in the forms of cages\, nests and butterflies. All works are made entirely of varying weights and types of paper\, including hanji (Korean traditional) and common coffee filters. Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate\, find meaning and ultimately – hope.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity\, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic\, assertive and joyful\, discerning and full of possibility.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Munich\, Germany\, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury\, and her art collective Dictaphone Group\, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day\, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina.

She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator.

She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

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 UID:58562-15784166@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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 UID:63803-15884168@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

Rodent models of addiction have established that females have a higher propensity for addiction and choose cocaine over food more often and more rapidly than males do. We hypothesize that the sex differences observed in drug seeking are due\, in part\, to differences in the underlying neurobiology of the reward circuitry between the sexes. Utilizing rodents in a choice self-administration behavioral paradigm eventually some rats develop a preference for cocaine over a palatable food reward over the course of seven weeks. Using in vivo microdialysis in the dorsal striatum and contralateral nucleus accumbens\, this set of experiments repeatedly characterized cocaine-induced dopamine increases during self-administration in the choice paradigm.

Understanding the rules that govern these systems and how they behave in time is fundamental\, but it is also of practical importance since it concerns the maintenance of biodiversity in the face of global change. In this talk I combine results from experiments in manipulable communities of small animals and microorganisms with math modeling\, and large scale analyses of functional trait information to advance our understanding of the organizational principles linking ecosystems across scales: from individuals’ traits\, to the assembly of ecological networks\, and the emergence of macroscopic spatial patterns. These findings contribute insights into how local and spatial dynamics interact to influence large scale properties of ecosystems. But they also lead to new questions about the rules of life\, highlighting the strong need for a refinement of theoretical methods\, more large scale field observations\, and creative laboratory experiments that leverage modern technologies.

A decade later\, the figure of the entrepreneur has replaced the figure of the NGO-worker\, and hopes and dreams are now pinned on the private sector. This talk asks why this has come to be\, and explores the practices and cultural politics of Tibetan youth entrepreneurship.\n \nEmily T. Yeh is Professor of Geography at the University of Colorado Boulder. She researches development and nature-society relations\, particularly in Tibetan parts of the PRC.

In reality\, failure is a lot more nuanced and can even be intentional – to “test things out.” \n\nPeter Adriaens is a professor of engineering\, finance and entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan with appointments in three Schools. Join him as he tells three short stories from his career on failure and risk taking - and the lessons learned to achieve positive outcomes. \n\nFailure and risk taking are close cousins. It’s those risk takers who embrace this relation who can flip the fear of failure into the anticipation of opportunity. \n\nFood will be provided. Limited capacity.\n\nRSVP today!

Significant advances have been made in understanding and treating cancer\, however\, there remain many unknowns\, especially in the arena of how and why particular diseases become aggressive and metastasize. We are specifically interested in the roles that macrophages\, and separately\, altered circadian rhythms\, play in cancer. Our work has focused on their investigation via generation and use of platforms that enable detection and tracking in biologically-relevant models\, followed by perturbation and study of those systems with small molecules. Macrophages have the ability to interconvert between immune stimulating- and suppressing-subtypes\, and are recruited and contribute to oncogenic microenvironments. Because many breast tumors generate macrophage chemoattractants\, we are taking advantage of this characteristic and developing cell-based imaging and drug delivery agents via chemical modification of the cells' surfaces. We are also engineering macrophages to possess reporters in order to discern phenotypes\, and probing phenotypic conversion via small molecules. My research program is also involved in determining the significance of circadian rhythms in breast cancer. Epidemiological evidence has shown that alteration of circadian rhythms is correlated with worse patient prognosis and drug resistance. We are assessing circadian rhythms in cell culture models of cancer\, and using small molecules to modulate these rhythms in an effort to understand the link between altered circadian rhythms and disease. Our work is intended to not only shed new light on contributors to cancer\, but also provide new targets and drugs for treatments.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMichelle Farkas (University of Massachusetts Amherst) UID:71647-17853447@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71647 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200121T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Probes of Novel Electronic States in Mesoscopic and 2D Quantum Materials DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in the development of exfoliated 2D materials and other mesoscopic systems (e.g. semiconducting nanowires) have led to the discovery of intriguing topological\, magnetic\, and superconducting states. However\, many bulk probes which have been invaluable in understanding complex electronic states such as those found in high-temperature superconductors are no longer applicable. Additionally\, many scanned probes which can study physics on the nanoscale are incompatible with the highest quality\, state-of-the-art 2D materials-based devices which rely on encapsulation with hexagonal boron nitride. In this talk I will present magnetic imaging studies of more traditional mesoscopic systems\, including imaging current distributions in micron-scale devices and studying novel nanowire-based superconducting devices. Secondly\, I will describe more recent work realizing low-disorder graphene devices which facilitated the discovery of new topological states of matter. Finally\, I will discuss prospects for studying 2D materials both with magnetic imaging and on-chip THz spectroscopy using superconductivity in exfoliated flakes as an example.\n UID:71240-17794027@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71240 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200114T170327 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Event. International Liberation and Nonviolent Noncooperation: Martin Luther King and Afro-Asia DESCRIPTION:The nonviolent activism of the Rev. Martin Luther King\, Jr. is associated in the minds of many primarily with the Civil Rights Movement against institutionalized racism in Jim Crow America. King was\, however\, a keen observer of decolonization and the awakening of colonized peoples in Afro-Asia to aspirations for self-determination. This anti-colonial perspective led to his opposition to the Vietnam War. Although King was little involved in the Middle East per se\, having been more focused on African countries such as Ghana\, his vision and his methods have gone on to inspire many civil rights activists in Egypt\, Palestine\, and elsewhere in the region.\n\nJuan Cole is the Richard P.

The influence of the intermediate variable on the outcome is often explored using structural equation models (SEMs)\, with model coefficients interpreted as possible effects. While there has been significant research on the topic in recent years\, little work has been done on mediation analysis when the intermediate variable (mediator) is a high-dimensional vector. In this work we introduce a novel method for mediation analysis in this setting called the directions of mediation (DMs). The DMs represent an orthogonal transformation of the space spanned by the set of mediators\, chosen so that the transformed mediators are ranked based upon the proportion of the likelihood of the full SEM that they explain. We provide an estimation algorithm and establish the asymptotic properties of the obtained estimators. We demonstrate the method using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study of thermal pain where we are interested in determining which brain locations mediate the relationship between the application of a thermal stimulus and self-reported pain.

It is the tallest mixed-use building in the city\, featuring 435\,000 square feet of Class A office space and 67 luxury residences. The architectural vision for the tower includes a tapering\, faceted façade that highlights an integrated mega-frame structural system. A visual recess between the commercial and residential levels functions as both a mechanical space and residential amenity level with a double-height\, open terrace around the perimeter. To maximize usable floor space in the slender tower\, a steel-only lateral force-resisting system was used instead of a more traditional concrete core. The novel damped mega-brace system and uplifting mega- columns enhance the building’s performance under seismic and wind loads while reducing steel tonnage by approximately 25% compared to a more conventional design. The damped braces also eliminate the need for a tuned mass damper in the light structure\, freeing up the penthouse level for a luxury condominium. Transfer structures at level 39 and level 2 carry load to the corner mega-columns to create column-free spaces at the residential amenity level and ground-floor lobby. The project achieved both a LEED Platinum rating as well as the world’s first Resilience-based Earthquake Design Initiative (REDi) Gold rating\, having been designed for immediate re-occupancy and minimal loss of functionality after a design-level earthquake. Resulting from a collaborative effort between the building owner\, design\, and construction teams\, 181 Fremont Tower features an unprecedented design and a pioneering resilience strategy to protect the building and its occupants long into the future.\n\nJason Krolicki is a structural engineer and founding Principal at Resurget Engineering PLC.
