Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies UID:116532-21837299@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240115T111145 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamps School of Art and Design Staff Exhibition DESCRIPTION:January 26-April 12\, 9 am - 5 pm or by appointment\ncontact: serrag@med.umich.edu UID:116536-21837458@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116536 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connections Gallery located on concourse level CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240209T105543 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Time DESCRIPTION:Artist Enrico Riley is best known for paintings that investigate violence and hope in cultural traditions in African American culture. His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed. The paintings allow me to observe myself looking. I am acutely aware of time. Maybe they are an invitation to speculate.\" UID:116414-21836781@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Black History Month,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817722@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833418@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621201@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240221T063138 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240206T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BOEM's Ask a Marine Biologist/Environmental Scientist/Physical Scientist DESCRIPTION:Are you intrigued by the mysteries of the ocean or passionate about protecting the environment?

At the same time\, agroecosystems are a nexus of human-wildlife interactions\, with surprisingly little known about the reciprocal impacts among rodents and agriculture. Notably lacking is information on seasonal variation in crop resource use and individual variation. For my dissertation\, Schlis-Elias will use a combination of classic bulk tissue and cutting-edge compound-specific stable isotope analyses to address several understudied aspects of rodent trophic structure\, resource use\, and energy flow in Southeast Michigan agroecosystems.

Under discussion will be the key historiographical issues of what we can rely on in the book and what we cannot\; of the aspects of the Northern Wei realm that it does speak of and the aspects that it does not. Key to these issues is better understanding of the roles of the literate Chinese who composed Wei shu\, and their relationship with the alien lords they served. For the first century at least of Northern Wei\, these men were largely strangers in a strange land.\n \n Scott Pearce took his PhD at Princeton\, under the direction of Denis Twitchett\, and now teaches at Western Washington University\, in the state of Washington. His research focuses on the political\, military and social history of the Northern Dynasties\, including Northern Wei and its sixth-century successor states. In addition to a Cambridge History of China chapter\, he has published a book on \"Northern Wei (386-534): A New Form of Empire in East Asia\,\" which came out from Oxford in 2023. This was an effort to produce a full history of that dynasty\, stretching back into its Inner Asian origins. He is now at work on a successor volume on the later Northern Dynasties\, in part through time recently spent as a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton\, and at NYU’s Institute for Study of the Ancient World\, in New York City.\n \nAttend in person or via Zoom.

VQAs have an established theoretical potential\, but their ability to effectively solve problems arising from practical applications\, and whether this utility can be wholly replicated by quantum-inspired classical algorithms\, remains an active area of interest. We present a novel application of both the Variational Quantum Linear Solver (VQLS) and the Variational Neural Linear Solver (VNLS)—an existing VQA for solving systems of linear equations\, and its quantum-inspired fully classical counterpart—as the key component within a larger minimum map Newton solver for a complementarity-based rigid body contact model. Using each algorithm\, we demonstrate that this solver accurately depicts the dynamics of the model system’s rigid spherical bodies as they collide. These results indicate that quantum and quantum-inspired linear algebra algorithms may provide a satisfactory alternative to standard linear algebra solvers for modeling certain physical systems.

A reception will immediately follow the talk.\n\nThe research area of metamaterials has captured the imagination of scientists and engineers for over two decades by allowing unprecedented control of electromagnetic fields. Extreme field manipulation has been made possible by the wide range of material properties that can be attained through fine structuring and texturing. Research in metamaterials has resulted in devices which overcome the diffraction limit and even render objects invisible. Metasurfaces\, surfaces whose intricate patterns dictate their electromagnetic properties\, have led to low-profile optical devices and ultra-thin antennas. Unlike conventional field-shaping devices (e.g.\, lenses in prescription eye glasses or magnifying glasses) that require thickness to manipulate electromagnetic waves through interference\, metasurfaces manipulate electromagnetic waves across negligible thicknesses through surface interactions. In this talk\, I will describe my journey in this area of research\, from its very start 25 years ago to the present day. I will explain what metamaterials/metasurfaces are and how circuit analogies can be used to design them. I will discuss the promise they hold and how their field-transforming properties are forcing a complete rethinking of electromagnetic and optical design.\n\nBio\n\nAnthony Grbic is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His research spans electromagnetics\, microwave engineering\, circuits and optics. He has made pioneering contributions to the theory and development of electromagnetic metamaterials and metasurfaces: finely textured electromagnetic structures/surfaces that offer unprecedented wavefront control. His work has included several research firsts in the development of metamaterials and metasurfaces\, including the first practical implementation of a metamaterial superlens that overcomes the resolution limitations of conventional lenses.\nProf. Grbic is the Senior Associate Chair of ECE. He is a Fellow of the IEEE\, and is currently an IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (2022-2025). He served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters and as Vice Chair of Chapter IV of the IEEE Southeastern Michigan section. For his contributions to research\, teaching and service at the University of Michigan\, he has received several awards including the Rackham Henry Russel Award\, the Ernest and Bettine Kuh Distinguished Faculty Scholar Award\, the University of Michigan Faculty Recognition Award\, and the CoE David E. Liddle Research Excellence Award. His external recognitions include a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists\, an AFOSR YIP Award\, NSF Faculty Career Award\, IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Outstanding Young Engineer Award\, and a Booker Fellowship from the United States National Committee of the International Union of Radio Science\nAnthony Grbic received the B.A.Sc.\, M.A.Sc.\, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto\, Canada\, in 1998\, 2000\, and 2005\, respectively. Since 2006\, he has been a faculty member in the Department of EECS.

I will begin with a brief overview of the key issues in quantum materials and the unique ability of Raman to address them. I will then focus on our recent discovery of a new quasi-particle\, the Axial Higgs Mode via Quantum interference. Here\, we studied a material where the electrons self-organize into a crystal lattice distinct from the material in which they live. This charge density wave has a collective mode\, similar to the optical phonon in standard materials. By carefully monitoring the Raman response for different symmetries\, we revealed quantum interference in the Raman process resulting from the magnetic moment of the Higgs mode of this charge density wave. This demonstrates the power of Raman to reveal the vector properties of a low energy mode and heralds the discovery of the first unconventional charge density wave and multi-component symmetry-breaking transition. Time permitting\, I will discuss our efforts to use quantum materials in biosensing to help prevent the next pandemic.

In this challenging regime\, even standard doubly-robust estimators can be inconsistent. I describe novel approaches which enjoy consistency guarantees for low-dimensional target parameters even though standard approaches fail. For some target parameters\, these guarantees can also be used for inference. Finally\, I will provide my perspective on the broader implications of this work for designing methods which are less sensitive to biases from high-dimensional prediction models.

Suppose f is \"a bit linear\" -- say\, f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) for 1% of pairs (x\,y). What can you say about f? Must it be closely related to an actually linear function? If so\, how closely?\n\nThis question turns out to be equivalent to asking for good quantitative bounds in the Freiman--Ruzsa theorem\, a foundational result in additive combinatorics. Marton gave a formulation\, equivalent to the statement above\, which she conjectured should have polynomial bounds. I will outline a recent proof of this conjecture.\n\nJoint work with Timothy Gowers\, Ben Green and Terence Tao.
