SUMMARY:Exhibition:Birds Fly In: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016\, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flora Series: Woven Wire Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gouache Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Migrations: Fiber Notes from the Journey
DESCRIPTION:Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist\, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What We Hold\, What Holds Us: Homes & Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter\, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope
DESCRIPTION: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 in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection 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 \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more! This is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Post No Bills: Burhan Doğançay's Archive of Urban Protest
DESCRIPTION:The upcoming exhibition Post No Bills: Burhan Doğançay’s Archive of Urban Protest highlights this important Turkish modernist’s exploration of three decades of the American social zeitgeist in works based on the abstract collages of torn posters\, chipped paint\, and graffiti he found on city walls.\n \nDoğançay documented and harnessed the political content of walls in more than 100 cities around the world\, an effort that was progressively recognized throughout his life. His works are in museum collections around the world and have been the focus of major exhibitions at the Pompidou Center\, Paris (1982)\, the State Russian Museum\, St. Petersburg (1992)\, and the Istanbul Modern (2012). Though many of his artworks are located in American university museums\, few exhibitions have explored the shifting trajectories of 20th-century American political discourse expressed in them.\n \n \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watershed
DESCRIPTION:Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex\, tangled histories about the Great Lakes\, its watershed\, and the surrounding region. \n \nThrough the use of experimental photography\, painting\, sculpture\, and textile work\, these artists explore issues of water security\, pollution\, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together\, their work highlights the complicated personal\, political\, and economic relationships between people\, the water we depend on\, the lands we call home\, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.\n \nThese artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival\, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different\, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.\n \nWatershed includes many new\, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:\n  A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River\, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility\; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes\; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan\; and\, Detroit-based musician\, artist\, and activist Sacramento Knoxx\, along with The Aadizookaan\, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Benjamin Juliar
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: This event will be held via BlueJeans. The link will be placed below.\n\nBlueJeans Link: https://bluejeans.com/358462383\n\nEngineering large viable tissues requires techniques for encouraging rapid capillary bed formation to prevent necrosis. A convenient means of creating this micro-vascular network is through spontaneous neovascularization\, which occurs when endothelial cells (ECs) and supportive stromal cells are co-encapsulated within a variety of hydrogel-based extracellular matrices (ECM) and self-assemble into an interconnected network of endothelial tubules. Although this is a robust phenomenon\, the environmental and cell-specific determinants that affect the rate and quality of micro-vascular network formation still require additional characterization to improve clinical translatability. This thesis investigates how the proteolytic susceptibility of engineered matrices effects neovascular self-assembly in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels and provides characterization of changes to matrix mechanics that accompany neovascular morphogenesis in fibrin and PEG hydrogels.\n \nProteolytic ECM remodeling is essential for the process of capillary morphogenesis. Pharmacological inhibitor studies suggested a role for both matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)- and plasmin-mediated mechanisms of ECM remodeling in an EC-fibroblast co-culture model of vasculogenesis in fibrin. To further investigate the potential contribution of plasmin mediated matrix degradation in facilitating capillary morphogenesis we employed PEG hydrogels engineered with proteolytic specificity to either MMPs\, plasmin\, or both. Although fibroblasts spread in plasmin-selective hydrogels\, we only observed robust capillary morphogenesis in MMP-sensitive matrices\, with no added benefit in dual susceptible hydrogels. Enhanced capillary morphogenesis was observed\, however\, in PEG hydrogels engineered with increased susceptibility to MMPs without altering proteolytic selectivity or hydrogel mechanical properties. These findings highlight the critical importance of MMP-mediated ECM degradation during vasculogenesis and justify the preferential selection of MMP-degradable peptide crosslinkers in the design of synthetic hydrogels used to promote vascularization.\n \nMatrix stiffness is a well-established cue in cellular morphogenesis\, however\, the converse effect of cellular remodeling on environmental mechanics is comparatively under characterized. In fibrin hydrogels\, we applied traditional bulk rheology and laser tweezers-based active microrheology to demonstrate that both ECs and fibroblasts progressively stiffen the ECM across length scales\, with the changes in bulk properties dominated by fibroblasts. Despite a lack of fibrillar architecture\, a similar stiffening effect was observed in MMP-degradable PEG hydrogels. This stiffening tightly correlated with degree of vessel formation and critically depended on active cellular contractility. To a lesser degree\, deposition of ECM proteins also appeared to contribute to progressive hydrogel stiffening. Blocking cell-mediated hydrogel degradation abolished stiffening\, demonstrating that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated remodeling is required for stiffening to occur. EC co-culture with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in PEG resulted in reduced vessel formation compared to fibroblast co-cultures and no change in hydrogel mechanics over time. The correlation between matrix stiffening and enhanced vessel formation\, and dependence on cellular contractility\, suggests differences in vessel formation between fibroblasts and MSCs may be partially mediated by differences in cellular contractility. Collectively\, these findings provide a deeper understanding of mechanobiological effects during capillary morphogenesis and highlight the dynamic reciprocity between cells and their mechanical environment. \n\nChair: Dr. Andrew Putnam

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Policing and Protest 2020
DESCRIPTION:Note: The webinar has a Q&A format. We welcome your questions before via email (eihswebinar@umich.edu) and during the webinar via Zoom Q&A. This event will be recorded and available for future viewing online.\n\n***Please register in advance here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qVR5E3VGRG2x_xJ4AK47AA\n\nThe killing of George Floyd\, in the wake of the horrific and obscene history of the killings of unarmed black people by the police\, has focused attention like never before on the systemic anti-black racism of the criminal-legal system in the United States. To be sure\, the massive expansion and militarization of policing and incarceration are in some ways of comparatively recent origin. Yet they also have a much deeper origin in\, and are inextricably connected to\, a longer history of the judicial and extra-judicial violence against black people in the continent. The racist inequities of the criminal-legal system\, indeed\, are not a bug\, but a feature.\n\nOur panel of experts\, scholars of the United States at the University of Michigan\, will help us explore\, beyond the headlines\, the reach of the long arm of the carceral state in society as well as the challenges and opportunities that have been thrown up by the contemporary protests against the systemic violence of the state. The stakes for understanding the working of the carceral state are documented by the Documenting Criminalization and Confinement project of the University of Michigan’s Carceral State Project. However\, the momentous protests against anti-Black racism as well as the broad public support they have received both within the United States and across the world—the clamor heard round the world—have also created a novel opportunity for implementing and imagining futures beyond a blatantly rigged carceral framework.\n\nPanelists:\n• Melissa Burch\, Anthropology\, University of Michigan\n• Matthew Countryman\, Afroamerican and African History\, American Culture\, History\, University of Michigan\n• Matthew Lassiter\, History\, Urban and Regional Planning\, University of Michigan\n• William D. Lopez\, Health Behavior and Health Education\, University of Michigan\n\nModerator:\n• Mrinalini Sinha\, History\, University of Michigan\n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Looking For Tomorrow Through Yesterday: What Michigan’s Flora In 1840 Can Tell Us About Our Botanical Future
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Anton Reznicek (Curator of Vascular Plants at the U-M LSA Herbarium) will deliver the annual UMBS Bennett Endowed Lecture in Plant & Fungal Ecology.\n\nIt has become routine to predict the future of our biota by starting with present day distributions and broad-brush niches derived from these occurrences. Looking to the past and basing predictions on what has actually happened would seem to be very helpful in understanding the nature of the changes and refining approaches to studying change\, but for plants we are typically hampered by lack of past floristic data. This is usually because we have little or no detailed information for floras before large scale European alteration of the landscape. Michigan\, however\, is unique in that immediately after becoming a State\, in 1837\, the State legislature\, advised by forward thinking scientists\, established the First Geological Survey of Michigan. The core idea was to produce detailed information on Michigan’s natural resources to provide a scientific foundation for the development of the State. Because at this time essentially all medicine was plant based\, a detailed inventory of the Flora\, supported by herbarium specimens\, was a major thrust of the First Survey. Collating and studying this material laid the groundwork for understanding of our past flora in unusual depth. Three segments of this knowledge will be the primary focus. First\, a review of the First Survey’s collecting activities (and those of a few other early collectors) and what we thus know about Michigan’s Flora in 1840. Second\, a review of changes that have occurred that bring us\, 180 years later\, to the composition of our present day flora. In terms of species loss\, this has been driven mostly by direct physical alteration of habitats\, either complete elimination or drastic alteration of the hydrology and microhabitat conditions\, especially in southern Michigan. Finally\, knowing the operation of the past drivers of change\, what can we infer about the changes we can expect in the\nfuture?

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Marielle Kraft - Ark Family Room Series
DESCRIPTION:This Delaware-based songwriter and former schoolteacher has opened for Jon McLaughlin\, Ava Max\, and Betty Who. She gave a TEDx talk about the importance of honesty in the songwriting process\, and she walks the walk—Narrative Now said that \"Marielle knows who she is\, and that comes across so strongly in her music.\" Self-taught\, the Rhode Island native began playing guitar at 16 and soon writing songs that strike chords with listeners everywhere. Her gift for storytelling is evident through her use of salient detail\, raw emotion\, and poignant word choice to describe moments \"exactly as they feel.\" Since leaving her full-time teaching career to pursue a life committed to creating music\, Marielle Kraft shows promise to follow artists like Julia Michaels and Maggie Rogers as she makes a growing impact in the indie pop scene.
