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.

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.

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. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. 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. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of Fondo\, a startup focused on helping young people visualize their paths into the future of work via structured serendipity and exploration. \n\nLee Marchalonis is a Lecturer in Stamps School of Art & Design and lead printer at Signal Return letterpress shop in Detroit’s Eastern Market. She has a MFA in printmaking from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville where she also worked as a letterpress printer at Yee-Haw Industries. She has printed professionally at Kala Institute in Berkeley\, California and studied book arts at the University of Iowa. 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.

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:58562-15784167@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:63803-15884169@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.

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.

Lethal Provocations: Anti-Jewish Violence in French Algeria and Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Veidlinger and Joshua Cole will discuss Prof. Cole's new book\, *Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria\,* with Prof. Veidlinger offering his expertise on Ukrainian pogroms for a comparative perspective.\n \nPart murder mystery\, part social history of political violence\, *Lethal Provocation* is a forensic examination of the deadliest peacetime episode of anti-Jewish violence in modern French history. It reconstructs the 1934 riots in Constantine\, Algeria\, in which tensions between Muslims and Jews were aggravated by right-wing extremists\, resulting in the deaths of twenty-eight people.\n \nAnimating the unrest was Mohamed El Maadi\, a soldier in the French army. Later a member of a notorious French nationalist group that threatened insurrection in the late 1930s\, El Maadi became an enthusiastic supporter of France's Vichy regime in World War II\, and finished his career in the German SS. The book cracks the \"cold case\" of El Maadi's participation in the events\, revealing both his presence at the scene and his motives in provoking violence at a moment when the French government was debating the rights of Muslims in Algeria. Local police and authorities came to know about the role of provocation in the unrest and killings and purposely hid the truth during the investigation that followed. *Lethal Provocation* brings into high relief the cruelty of social relations in the decades before the war for Algerian independence.\n \nJoshua Cole is professor of history at the University of Michigan\, where he specializes in the social and cultural history of France in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is the author of *Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria* (2019) and *The Power of Large Numbers: Population\, Politics\, and Gender in Nineteenth-Century France* (2000)\, as well as articles on colonial violence and the politics of memory in France\, Algeria\, and Germany. He is also the author\, with Carol Symes\, of *Western Civilizations* (20th ed.\, 2019).\n \nJeffrey Veidlinger is Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies and director of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of the award-winning books *The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage* (2000)\, *Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire* (2009)\, and *In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine* (2013). Prof. Veidlinger is a vice president of the Association for Jewish Studies\, associate chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History\, and a member of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He is currently working on a book about the pogroms of the Russian Civil War.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In addition\, harmful algal blooms (HABs) can lead to aerosolization of toxins like microcystins\, which has the potential to lead to exposures to local populations. Given their small size and chemical complexity there is a significant analytical challenge when measuring these environmental contaminants. Herein\, the chemical and physical properties of lake spray aerosol (LSA) from pristine freshwater and HABS are discussed. We will discuss measurements of particles along the coasts of the Great Lakes\, inland\, and aloft at cloud heights from flight measurements using a suite of microscopy\, spectroscopy\, and mass spectrometry measurements. As LSA can be generated and act as CCN\, IN or eject toxic materials from harmful algal blooms\, an improved understanding of LSA emission and physicochemical properties is needed to determine the impacts on meteorology\, climate\, and health in the Great Lakes region.\n\nAndrew Ault is the Dow Corning Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Chemistry Department at the University of Michigan.

Could our measures need an update? Can we extend these attitudes to gender? I will present a new scale we have developed to look at how people use race and gender in both private and societal contexts and discuss how this measure may help address discrepancies in the literature.\n\nCristine Salvador\nTitle: \nInterdependence in Latin America: Self-assertive and Emotionally Expressive\nAbstract:\nMany cultures outside of Western European and North American cultures are typically described as interdependent and holistic\, due to a stronger emphasis they supposedly place on social relations vs. personal selves. However\, depending on social ecologies of different regions\, there may be varying forms of interdependence across the globe. We expected Latin American culture to sanction both self-assertion (which is thought to be required to protect ingroups) and emotionally expression (which is required to relate socially in ethnically and linguistically heterogeneous groups). This is in stark contrast with East Asian cultures that value self-effacement and emotion suppression (both of which are thought to be conducive to social harmony). To address these possibilities\, we tested Colombians\, Japanese and European Americans (N=550) and observed that (i) Colombians are cognitively as holistic as Japanese (more so than Americans)\, (ii) they are as assertive as Americans (more so than Japanese)\, and (iii) they are emotionally as expressive as Americans (more so than Japanese). However\, the types of emotions that Colombians express are primarily socially engaging\, unlike Americans. Our findings provide the first comprehensive evidence that the form of interdependence common in Latin America is both self-assertive and emotionally expressive\, in stark contrast against the East Asian form that is the most commonly tested in the current literature. They thereby underscores an urgent need to globalize psychological theories.

Some instructors choose group work for logistical reasons\, such as “we only have five testbeds.” Others seek to provide a particular student experience: students can teach and learn from each other\, they can undertake more complicated projects\, and they can develop collaboration skills that will benefit them later in their careers. Whatever the reason for using team-based pedagogies\, instructors must be cognizant of team dysfunctions – some of which are invisible to the instructors or even to members of the team – that can affect certain students’ experiences in our classes. \n\nIn this talk\, I will (1) present evidence that particular groups are more likely to have negative team experiences (and that teamwork is inherently gendered and raced)\, (2) suggest mechanisms for identifying and remedying some team dysfunctions\, and (3) argue that instructors have a moral obligation to critically examine teamwork practices in an attempt to equitably serve our diverse student population.

I will also address new work constraining the gluonic structure of nuclei\, which will be measurable for the first time at a future electron-ion collider\, and explain how machine learning tools are providing new possibilities in this field.\n UID:70952-17760228@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70952 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T113304 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200122T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200122T170000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Department Faculty Meeting with Ann Curzan (English Department) DESCRIPTION:contact audrawil@umich.edu for details.

The Condemnation of Blackness: Race\, Crime\, and Modern Urban America DESCRIPTION:The history of racism in the South is well known—the chain gangs\, lynch mobs and views of black southern criminals that defined the Jim Crow period are\, for the most part\, common knowledge today. But what do we know about the role the urban North played in shaping views on the intersection of race and crime in American society?\n \nIn this talk\, Khalil Gibran Muhammad reveals how the idea of black criminality was crucial to the making of modern urban America\, as were African Americans’ own ideas about race and crime. In the North\, crime statistics\, immigration trends\, and references to America as the “land of opportunity” were woven into a cautionary tale about the threat Black people posed to modern urban society. Excessive arrest rates and overrepresentation in Northern prisons were pointed to by whites—liberals and conservatives alike—as proof of Blacks’ inferiority. The prevailing feeling was that\, in the heyday of “separate but equal\,” what else but pathology could explain Black people’s challenges in the “land of opportunity”?\n \nChronicling the beginning of the deeply embedded notion of Black people as a dangerous race of criminals\, Muhammed explores a different side of the history of racism\, weaving a narrative that is both engaging and educational.\n\nKhalil Gibran Muhammad is author of *The Condemnation of Blackness: Race\, Crime\, and the Making of Modern Urban America*\, which won the John Hope Franklin Best Book Award in American Studies. Also the Suzanne Young Murray Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies. Muhammad is a contributor to a National Research Council study\, *The Growth of Incarceration in the United States: Exploring Causes and Consequences*. Recently\, he also appeared in several popular documentaries\, lending his expertise to Ava DuVernay’s Netflix feature\, *13th \, Slavery By Another Name* (PBS)\, and *Forgotten Four: The Integration of Pro Football*. \n\nMuhammad is the former Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, a division of the New York Public Library and the world’s leading library and archive of global black history. Much of his research focuses on racial criminalization in modern U.S. history. His work has been featured in a number of f national print and broadcast media outlets\, including *The New York Times*—notably as one of the contributors to its’ viral *1619 Project*\, which explores and exposes the true history of slavery in America—*The New Yorker\, The Washington Post\, NPR*\, and *MSNBC*. Muhammad was an associate editor of *The Journal of American History* and prior Andrew W. Mellon fellow at the Vera Institute of Justice. He holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University\, two honorary doctorates\, and is on the board of The Museum of Modern Art\, The Barnes Foundation\, and *The Nation* magazine. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.
