SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Glass Cakes
DESCRIPTION:Janet Kelman’s glass cakes are a perfect fusion of her love of glass and love of baking. Each colorful slice or cupcake invites sampling while her mirror cakes are intriguing brain teasers. Kelman began her love affair with glass in 1970. While studying chemistry in college\, she watched\, fascinated\, as the glassblower in her department created scientific equipment\, inspiring her to later teach herself lampworking (glass worked over a torch) and open a hot glass studio. Kelman bakes with glass at her home studio in Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Toy Robots Past & Present
DESCRIPTION:Elaine Reed has been collecting toy robots for over 30 years. As a painter herself\, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child\, television programs like Lost in Space\, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own. Although she doesn’t own any real live robots\, some of her best friends are robots. At the University of Michigan Health System\, Reed works as a Bedside Artist for the Gifts of Art program and as an artist at the Turner Senior Resource Center. She also volunteers at 826 Michigan in Ann Arbor writing about robots.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Inaugural Digital Data in Biodiversity Research Conference
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by iDigBio\, the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology\, the University of Michigan Herbarium\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology. \n\nAbstract submission will open in early January 2017. Featured speakers include:\n\n    Beth Brainerd\, Brown University\n    Dori Contreras\, Museum of Paleontology\, University of California\, Berkeley\n    Mike Donoghue\, Yale University\n    Dan Fisher\, Museum of Paleontology\, University of Michigan\n    Lawrence Hudson\, Natural History Museum\, London\n    Maureen Kearney\, National Museum of Natural History\, Smithsonian Institution\n    Peter McCartney\, U. S. National Science Foundation\n    Stephen Smith\, University of Michigan\n    Pam Soltis\, Florida Museum of Natural History\, University of Florida\n    Adam Summers\, University of Washington\n    Mike Webster\, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology\, Cornell University\n\nTwo of the Saturday afternoon workshops will be led by U-M EEB professors Alison Davis Rabosky with grad student Pascal Title (Automated Species Range Map Construction through Aggregated Global Museum Records) and Dan Rabosky with postdoctoral fellow Jonathan Mitchell (Computational Macroevolution: Analysis and Visualization of Complex Evolutionary Dynamics on Phylogenies). \n\nThe rapid mobilization of digitized biodiversity data\, led largely in the United States by the National Science Foundation’s Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections program\, has resulted in a substantial increase in available data for research and related activities. This conference will encompass the uses of digitized data across all biodiversity disciplines\, with special emphasis on digitized specimen data and the potential for “big data” analytics in organismal biology. This conference will provide an important opportunity to explore digital data tools\, techniques\, discoveries\, and outcomes across the biodiversity sciences. \n\nOral presentations and posters will emphasize the use of digital data for biodiversity research\, inclusive of the neontological and paleontological domains. Emphases might include:\n\n    * published or publishable biodiversity research that depends on digital datasets \n\n    * systematics and the use of digital data\n\n    * ongoing research projects that derive from and use digital datasets\n\n    * gaps and deficiencies in currently available digital data that hinder effective use\,\n\n    * user critiques of digital data aggregators and providers\n\n    * integrated digitization/data use/research pipelines\n\n    * standards and practices for depositing and documenting open access digital datasets\n\n    * the role and relevance of “Big Data” in biodiversity research\n\n    * use of digitized biodiversity data within the ecological sciences\n\n    * the relative importance of digital data derived from specimens vs. observations\n\n    * managing digital biodiversity data in support of research pipelines\n\n    * analyzing and visualizing biodiversity digital data\n\nThe planning team for the conference includes: Chris Dick\, Dan Fisher\, Rich Rabeler\, Alison Davis Rabosky\, Dan Rabosky\, Adam Rountrey\, Cody Thompson\, and Priscilla Tucker from the University of Michigan\, and Gil Nelson\, Larry Page\, Pam Soltis\, and Alex Thompson from iDigBio.\n\nFor further information or to ensure that you are on the email list\, please contact Gil Nelson at iDigBio (gnelson@bio.fsu.edu).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.  Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.
