In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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. 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.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

This drive was established to help find a match for Natalia\, an 8-year-old girl who may need a bone marrow donor soon.\n\nNatalia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in August 2019. She has been hospitalized for most of the last few months at University of Michigan’s Mott Children’s Hospital\, where she is undergoing chemotherapy. She has about 4 more months to go. Natalia has a very positive attitude. She loves to read (especially Percy Jackson and Warriors books) and do craft projects. Her nurses and doctors love her!\n\nHopefully chemo will be enough to cure Natalia’s condition. If it isn’t\, she will need a bone marrow transplant. As of now\, there are NO full matches in the bone marrow registries worldwide. Her 13-year-old brother and her twin sister are not matches.\n\nNatalia’s mixed-race background – Cantonese\, Latina (Salvadoran)\, and white (Dutch/German) – makes it especially hard to find a match. Her bone marrow HLA markers are predominantly Cantonese/white.

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 UID:68063-16988499@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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.

It is of great interest to understand how that aggregate expenditure affects prices\, market efficiency\, and overall welfare.\n\nHere\, we present a mathematical model for the dynamics of competition through advertising and find a surprising prediction: when advertising is relatively cheap compared to the maximum benefit of advertising\, rational firms split into two groups\, one with significantly less advertising (a \"generic'' group) and one with significantly more advertising (a \"name-brand'' group).\n\nWe use consumer data to compare predictions from the model with real world pricing and advertising data and find qualitative agreement. We also show that having products be differentiated by advertising is not always best for total profit or total welfare in an industry.

At the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory at Virginia Tech\, we study fundamental processes such as plasma sheath physics and plasma-material interactions to support and overcome some of the physics challenges of advanced space propulsion concepts. Furthermore\, nuclear fusion\, which remains one of the biggest unsolved problems of the previous and present centuries\, may hold the key to long-duration\, high-payload spaceflight in addition to potentially satisfying terrestrial energy demands. Research at the laboratory also supports a wide array of fusion concepts including magnetic confinement fusion\, magneto-inertial fusion\, and inertial confinement fusion. The high-energy-density hydrodynamics research being performed to study these concepts extends to astrophysics and national security applications. A common challenge across these varied applications is the necessity for high-fidelity computational models for kinetic and fluid plasmas. Recent advances in plasma modeling\, from magnetohydrodynamic to fully kinetic\, will be presented. This research seminar will describe novel kinetic and multi-fluid models and will discuss original research contributions in two representative applications: plasma-material interactions relevant to plasma thrusters and high-energy-density hydrodynamics.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Bhuvana Srinivasan is an Assistant Professor in the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean engineering at Virginia Tech where she has been developing a computational plasma physics program. Prior to joining Virginia Tech\, she was a postdoc and a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She received her PhD from the University of Washington. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in spacecraft propulsion\, advanced spacecraft propulsion\, computational plasma physics\, and hypersonic aerodynamics. She is the Director of the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory which comprises two postdocs\, eight PhD students\, and a number of masters and undergraduate students.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nHierarchy is the most ubiquitous way in which human beings organize social interactions. However\, hierarchy comes with substantial downsides in terms of inequities and conflicts. As a result\, organizations have explored flatter modes of organizing\, such as holacracy\, which unfortunately have yet to yield much success. In this presentation\, Greer will explore the possibility that hierarchy may still be the most effective form of organization but needs to be used wisely. She will discuss data-driven strategies which can allow hierarchy to be a useful and positive organizational tool\, including helping leaders learn how to ‘flex’ the hierarchy for bursts of flatness\, to humanize the hierarchy through sharing emotions at work\, and to reduce competitions around hierarchy by creating areas of individual ownership and autonomy.\n\nAbout Greer:\nLindy Greer is an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at Michigan Ross and the Faculty Director of the Sanger Leadership Center. Her research focuses on how to lead effective organizational teams with specific interests in leadership skills in conflict management\, diversity and inclusion\, vision crafting\, and the communication of emotions. \n\nLindy has published in top management and psychology research outlets such as Academy of Management Journal\, Organization Science\, Journal of Applied Psychology\, Science\, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, among others. Her work has also been covered in well-known media outlets including The New York Times\, CNN\, Forbes\, and Fast Company. She has received awards for her research from the Academy of Management and American Psychological Association\, and she was recently named one of the Top 40 under 40 Business School Professors by Poets and Quants. \n\nLindy is currently an Associate Editor at the Academy of Management Journal\, on the boards of seven of the top management and psychology journals\, and has served on the boards of professional associations such as the International Association of Conflict Management and the Conflict Management Division of the Academy of Management. Lindy received her BS from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and her PhD in social and organizational psychology from Leiden University in the Netherlands. She joined the team at Ross in 2019.\n\nHost: \nJane Dutton\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; Robert L.

Since the intensity and likelihood of these events are not well defined\, performance based design approaches include the management of inelastic response and local failure. Design techniques that were developed for the ‘cold war’ are now adapted for Government and commercial construction. Applying these techniques to ‘design excellence’ architecture is a major challenge and the least impactful protective measures that achieve the required performance contribute to a project’s success. In many projects\, the protective design engineer helps identify the risks associated with different design options and helps the owners to decide whether to mitigate or accept these risks.\n\nRobert Smilowitz is a Senior Principal at Thornton Tomasetti UID:72187-17955061@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72187 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Civil and Environmental Engineering,Energy,Engineering,Graduate and Professional Students,Graduate Students,Michigan Engineering,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:GG Brown Laboratory - 2029 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200317T153234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T193000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:POSTPONED INDEFINITELY: Faculty Research for Impact: Addressing UN SDG #13 – Climate Action DESCRIPTION:How are Ross faculty members advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals through business research?

These sessions provide an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals who may be able to provide valuable advice during your Michigan career.\n\nAll HSSP-sponsored Professional Autobiographies are open to the public.

This presentation will kick-off our virtual Advanced Degree Candidate (ADC) recruiting season\, more events to follow!\n\nUSE THIS LINK TO RSVP FOR THIS EVENT\, DO NOT RSVP IN HANDSHAKE: http://bit.ly/bcghc\n\nEngineered immune cellsare emerging as a revolutionary therapy that may transform outcomes for cancer patients. Two of these therapies based on chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) technology have received FDA approval and helped extremely ill patients where other therapies have failed - up to 90% of advanced relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients in clinical studies saw complete remission of their disease. But a truly novel modality like this - where a patient’s own immune cells are extracted\, engineered\, and reintroduced to attack their cancer - comes with unprecedented scientific\, technical\, and operational challenges. Here at BCG\, we have partnered with leading biopharmaceutical companies to explore novel strategies to discover\, develop\, and deliver cell therapies to patients with true unmet need. Garner Soltes\, Project Leader from our BCG NewJersey office\, will lead this virtual session and walk through his specific experience on a BCG client case\, where he\, alongside a team of BCG consultants\, developed a 10-year strategy and plan to help this client explore and succeed in the emerging cell therapy space.\n\nLearn more about BCG PhD/postdoc recruiting (aka ADC) on our website here: https://www.bcg.com/en-us/careers/students/advanced-degrees.aspx UID:72668-18037796@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200212T125355 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T203000 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Polar Vortex\, Climate Change and Weird Weather DESCRIPTION:A presentation by U-M emeritus professor Dr. Henry Pollack on what the polar vortex is\, how it affects us in the Midwest\, and how climate change plays into it. \n\nPresented by Sierra Club Huron Valley Group UID:72799-18079302@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72799 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:climate change,sierra club huron valley chapter LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200214T103033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Chamber Choir DESCRIPTION:Eugene Rogers\, conductor\nMatthew Ozawa\, director\nShohei Kobayashi\, graduate student conductor\n\nThe music of David Lang featuring his Pulitzer Prize-winning work The Little Match Girl Passion.
