SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Survival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Beyond Survival\, an exhibition of works by incarcerated artists in Michigan presented by PCAP co-founder Janie Paul and the Flint Institute of the Arts. The exhibit opens May 30th and runs through September 14th. \n\nThe pieces span nearly 30 years\, many of them having been featured in our Annual Exhibition.\n\n\"Through drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures made with simple materials\, artists expose the harsh realities of incarceration while imagining life beyond prison. These works reveal a longing for home and family\, joy and beauty\, connections to nature\, flights of the imagination\, and journeys toward freedom—acts of creation made despite and in direct response to carceral conditions.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Reconstruction\, simulation\, and analysis of large-scale neuronal connectivity of the mouse brain
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nRecent advances in spatial transcriptomics and connectomics are mapping out neurons in the mouse brain with increasing precision. However\, computational models have yet to fully leverage these data. This thesis presents multiple projects that bridge this gap by integrating multimodal data to analyze\, model\, and simulate large-scale neuronal dynamics in the mouse brain.\n\nFirst\, we introduce a network-generating algorithm that reconstructs microscopic brain connectivity by combining the molecular and spatial profile of neurons with mesoscopic projection data. A GPU-powered simulation platform is then constructed to simulate a computational model\, incorporating connectivity developed in conjunction with a detailed neuronal electrophysiology model.\n\nSecondly\, we validated the model by simulating the spatiotemporal dynamics of the mouse cortex in response to sensory stimuli\, successfully reproducing realistic patterns of cortical activity. Building on this\, we then examined the emergence of macroscopic traveling waves in the mouse cortex. The model successfully generated realistic traveling waves\, and we developed computational techniques to quantify their properties in the 3-D computational domain. We discovered that realistic connectivity promotes higher and more flexible macroscopic traveling waves compared to artificially constructed local or uniform networks. The level of macroscopic waves also depends non-monotonically on the coupling strength between neurons in the network and is most prominent during slow oscillations in the delta frequency band (0.5–4 Hz)\, which is an electrophysiological hallmark of sleep. Extending this work\, we also modeled how brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) induces synaptic changes in the cortical network that modulate local sleep activity.  \n\nLastly\, with our experimental collaborators\, we developed an experimental-computational pipeline to map and analyze the most active neurons and networks in the mouse brain at different times of the day. Using activity-dependent genetic labeling\, light-sheet imaging\, machine learning segmentation\, and spatial transcriptomic matching\, we find distinct region- and layer-specific activation patterns of neurons in the mouse brain\, especially increased activity in layer 5 of the cortex during wakefulness. We also observe a dynamic shift in excitatory/inhibitory balance across the brain. We then defined a new computational method that introduces the \textit{active connectivity}\, which shows a reorganization of network hubs from subcortical to cortical regions during the wake period.\n\nTogether\, these studies contribute to the computational infrastructure that interfaces with multiscale\, multimodal data for next-level analysis\, modeling\, and simulation of the neuronal dynamics in the mouse brain.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ani Mari Goes East Tour Opening Night w/ The North Ingalls Band
DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\nAlt-Americana singer-songwriter Ani Mari’s debut solo album\, girlfriend (produced by Erik Koskinen and Real-Phonic Records\, 2023)\, explores the ambiguities of coming of age in a beautifully precarious world. Across ten warmly combative tracks\, she fights for grace and connection amidst the anxieties\, desires\, heartbreaks\, and joie de vivre of being young in America’s heartland. Tracks like “Whitefish Bay” and “The Prettiest Things” echo the forests and waters of the Upper Peninsula and the bluegrass and folk influences Ani grew up immersed in\, while title track “Girlfriend” triangulates her current temperature somewhere between Liz Phair\, Waxahachee\, and Ratboys. Comparisons\, however\, always fall short. Compelling\, humming\, and hungry\, Ani’s indie-folk songwriting is 100% her own\, and definitely not to be missed.\n\nNorth Ingalls is a seven-piece indie folk-groove sound. All members of the band hail from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and met through the School of Music. The original music of North Ingalls is a vibrant patchwork of seven unique individual sounds\, each coming together to celebrate and reflect their personal experiences. The band has gained a devoted following for its deeply honest and detailed narrative lyrics\, brought to life by their emotionally raw vocals and rich\, full-bodied sound.
