SUMMARY:Exhibition:the small details
DESCRIPTION:Artists Amy Sacksteder and Brenda Singletary are both visual storytellers\, exploring their relationships to place and time through the contemplation of objects and raw materials within the context and the process of painting. Although disparate in their methods and aesthetic choices\, there is a surprising connection in their deep commitment to the particulars\, in all the small details more than “the big picture”…the idiosyncrasies and incidentals that give meaning\, resonance\, and renewal to their own visual languages\, and artistic practices ongoing. Visit our website to learn more: https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/gallery/current-exhibitions/the-small-details.html.\n\n*the small details* was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities Gallery High Stakes Art Initiative. This two-person exhibition opportunity intends to offer support and further exposure specifically for regional contemporary artists.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Methods of Survey Sampling - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Methods of Survey Sampling\n\nOpen for registration!\n\nJune 6 - July 29\, 2022\n10:00am-12:30pm EST\nT/Th\n\nA fundamental feature of many sample surveys is a probability sample of subjects. Probability sampling requires rigorous application of mathematical principles to the selection process. Methods of Survey Sampling is a moderately advanced course in applied statistics\, with an emphasis on the practical problems of sample design\, which provides students with an understanding of principles and practice in skills required to select subjects and analyze sample data. Topics covered include stratified\, clustered\, systematic\, and multi-stage sample designs\, unequal probabilities and probabilities proportional to size\, area probability sampling\, ratio means\, sampling errors\, frame problems\, cost factors\, and practical designs and procedures. Emphasis is on practical considerations rather than on theoretical derivations\, although understanding of principles requires review of statistical results for sample surveys. The course includes an exercise that integrates the different techniques into a comprehensive sample design.\n\nWhy take this course? \n- To understand the basic ideas\, concepts and principles of probability sampling from an applied perspective\n- To be able to identify and appropriately apply sampling techniques to survey design problems\n- To be able to compute the sample size for a variety of sample designs\n- To understand and be able to assess the impact of the sample design on survey estimates\n- To learn how to design and select a probability sample involving complex sampling techniques in a survey project\, and receive expert feedback on a sampling report\n\nCourse Hours: 3\n\nInstructors: Raphael Nishimura\, Sunghee Lee\n\nPrerequisite: Two graduate-level courses in statistical methods.\n\nAll 2022 courses will be offered in an alternative remote format.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mother Cyborg: Crafting Our Digital Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist\, musician\, and educator Mother Cyborg (Diana J. Nucera) debuts a series of quilts that references our relationship to digital technologies\, data-mining and security in the age of the Internet. Using bright colors\, geometric shapes and patterns\, Crafting our Digital Legacy  opens up analogue and tactile spaces that invite audiences to reflect upon our collective relationship with internet technologies\, identity\, legacy\, and the future. Mother Cyborg draws from over 15 years experience as a community organizer in Detroit\, MI where individuals gained access and agency to (re-)build their neighborhoods\, and run their own Internet service providers. In this exhibition\, Nucera expands her artist self through fiber works where she addresses critical issues of surveillance\, data collection\, the redaction of love to likes\, and the complexity of identity within it all. \nMother Cyborg states\, “This work aims to return a sense of wonder and magic to all of us\, and rekindle the awe we may have first felt when using a geolocating star map\, or being able to video call a person across borders. Crafting our Digital Legacy  looks at the way in which art can unpack how living at the whim of invisible wifi connections\, engaging ‘power cycling’ (turning on and off) computers and phones to ‘fix’ them\, modern experiences of technology run the gamut from resigned faith to proselytizing zealotry. In our weariness of the state of technology\, we fail to notice that the ‘same’ data\, taken from all of us\, has the power to rewrite and mutate the prior century’s worst inequalities into a blueprint for the future. These psychedelic quilts mesmerize while spotlighting surveillance tactics embedded within society bringing into focus the information and questions we should be asking of the future.”\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ruth Weisberg: Of Memory\, Time & Place
DESCRIPTION:“One thing that is very clear to me is that my life and my work are very intertwined. For me the creation of my art\, be it painting\, drawing or printmaking\, integrates my life experiences\, my beliefs and my heritage. I hope that my viewers will also bring their own lenses created by their identity\, their family history and their experiences.” \n- Ruth Weisberg\nRuth Weisberg: Of Memory\, Time &amp\; Place brings together over 25 works that span six decades of the artist’s practice as a painter and printmaker. It features iconic works from Weisberg’s artistic career - Waterborne (1973)\, A Year Passes (1985) and Questioning Veronese (2011) - where she explored the interconnectedness and continuity of successive generations. Anchored in themes of personal and familial memory\; ancestral knowledge embedded in her Jewish heritage\, and admiration for Western art history\, her unframed canvases\, and works on paper create liminal spaces that collapse the time and space\, where family\, friends from the present and past share space with great painters and Holocaust survivors and those who perished. The Shtetl\, A Journey and Memorial\, a limited- edition artist book that she wrote and illustrated comprising 9 intaglio prints in 1971\, lies at the heart of the exhibition. In it she paid homage to the small Jewish towns in Poland (where her ancestors are from) before the Holocaust. This significant work was a touchstone for her artistic and professional career as it propelled her move from Michigan to Los Angeles in 1969.\n \nBorn and raised in Chicago\, Weisberg moved to Ann Arbor to pursue her higher studies\, she completed her B.Ed (1964)\, after spending three years in Perugia\, Italy where she earned a Laurea di Belle Arti in 1962\, and MFA (1965). Since her arrival in Los Angeles\, Weisberg has been a formidable influence and mentor to decades of artists as an artist\, Professor of Fine Arts and former Dean at the University of Southern California Roski School of Art and Design. Weisberg was the Director of the USC Initiative for Israeli Arts and Humanities\, and the founder of the Jewish Artists Initiative of Southern California. Her first major survey in Los Angeles was in 1979 at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. She and Judy Chicago were the first two artists exhibited at The Women’s Building\, Los Angeles. Their solo exhibitions inaugurated that venue. Weisberg has had more than 80 solo exhibitions and nearly 200 group exhibitions internationally\, including a major exhibition at the Norton Simon Museum\, Pasadena and a retrospective\, at the Skirball Museum\, Los Angeles as well as a solo exhibition at the Huntington in San Marino. She is the recipient of many prestigious awards\, some notable ones are the Printmaker Emeritus Award from the Southern Graphic Council International in 2015 and the Foundation for Jewish Culture’s 50th Anniversary Cultural Achievement Award in 2011. She has been the recipient of the Art Leadership Award\, National Council of Art Administrators and the Women’s Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award\, 2009. Ruth Weisberg is represented by Jack Rutberg Fine Arts\, Los Angeles.\n \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Physics Graduate Summer Symposium (PGSS) | Measuring the Chiroptical Response of Single Molecules in the Near Field of Plasmonic Nanoparticles
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in 335 West Hall or on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95412705230 (Passcode: 055118)\n\nThe chirality of biomolecules is a good indicator of their structure and function. Fluorescence-detected circular dichroism remains a primary detection scheme for chirality due to its sensitivity. However\, since most biomolecules have a low dissymmetry factor in the visible range (~103)\, single-molecule detection of chirality is challenging even for fluorescent molecules. To achieve single-molecule fluorescence-detected circular dichroism\, we are leveraging plasmonic nanoparticle substrates\, which focus incident plane waves into locally varying near fields\, to enhance the dissymmetry factor. By varying the substrate design and the incident polarization of the plane wave\, we are optimizing the electric field density and optical chirality to enhance the differential fluorescence intensity of proximal chiral biomolecules. Because the electromagnetic landscape varies on the nanometer scale\, the differential signal will be most enhanced within a sub-diffraction-limited area on the sample. We use single-molecule super-resolution microscopy to access these hotspots experimentally. I will present the chiroptical interactions of single pairs of cyanine dyes (aligned into J-aggregates by a double-stranded backbone to form right-handed fluorescent biomolecules) with chiral and achiral gold nanoparticles. In this talk\, I will discuss the design of the experimental setup and use full-field simulations to determine the electromagnetic near field produced by varying the incident polarization at the substrate.
