Lecture / Discussion:War and the 2016 Election: The Great Unmentionable
2016-11-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Michigan League - Hussey Room (2nd Floor)
The most important issue facing the population of the
United States and the entire world is not being discussed in the US elections: War.

The contest between Clinton and Trump has brought the degraded state of US politics to new lows. As the two candidates trade in insults and scandal-mongering, government and military officials are preparing a vast military escalation that threatens the lives of millions, if not billions of people.

Regardless of who is elected in November, the working class and youth in the US and around the world face immense dangers. The greatest danger is the gulf that exists between the
advanced state of war plans by the US military and the general level of popular consciousness.

Everything must be done to alert workers and young people to what is being planned and to build a political leadership to oppose war and the capitalist system that produces it.

SEP Presidential candidate Jerry White will speak at this meeting, hosted by the IYSSE at UM. He will speak about the threat of world war, why it is not seriously discussed in the elections, and about the urgent need to build a mass anti-war movement in the US. His party is holding a major anti-war conference in Detroit on November 5, which will also be addressed at this meeting.

2016-11-01 19:30 - 21:00 | Gerald Ford Library
Join us as author and Boston Globe columnist Michael A. Cohen talks about the compelling drama of the 1968 election. American Maelstrom presents a gripping story of powerful personalities including President Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy, George Wallace and Richard Nixon, among others.

American Maelstrom captures the full drama of this watershed election, establishing 1968 as the hinge between the decline of political liberalism, the ascendancy of conservative populism, and the rise of anti-government attitudes that continue to dominate the nation’s political discourse.

Michael A. Cohen is a regular contributor for the Boston Globe on national politics and foreign affairs. He is a fellow at the Century Foundation, a lecturer at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, and has written for dozens of news outlets, including a column for the Guardian and Foreign Policy.

Performance:Adrian Legg
2016-11-01 20:00 | Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI
Guitar gods in training, take notice. Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country, jazz, folk, rock, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing, though, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that, he's a tall tale teller of the first order, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: "Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp, in whose league he belongs, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder, whom he also occasionally resembles, Adrian Legg is an adventurer, not an archivist." He is, quite simply, one of the greatest guitarists in the world, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.

2016-11-02 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center - Gifts of Art Gallery — North Lobby, Floor 1.
Howard Bond, who studied with Ansel Adams, made the photographs in this exhibition during multiple trips to Austria with a 4”x 5” film camera, resulting in gelatin silver prints.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
2016-11-02 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center - Gifts of Art Gallery - North Lobby, Floor 1
Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Beauty Speaks: Acrylic on Canvas
2016-11-02 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center - Gifts of Art Gallery — Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1

She is inspired by lush colors and nature's beauty, and she masterfully creates inspirational lighting to emanate warmth, peacefulness and positive strength. Following in her grandfather and parents footsteps, McColgan attended the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, graduating with a BFA in '81. McColgan's works are represented in galleries throughout Michigan and are included in many private and corporate collections.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
2016-11-02 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - Gifts of Art Gallery — University Hospital Main Lobby, Floor 1
Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber, primarily quilts, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows, such as Quilt National in Athens, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
