They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

Isolating Gaza: Enforced Immobility and the Production of an “Open-Air Prison” DESCRIPTION:A strip of land around 25 miles long and 7 miles across at its widest point\, access to the Gaza Strip is controlled\, and severely limited\, by Israel (from the north\, east\, and the sea to the west) and Egypt (to the south). In the past fifteen years Gaza has not only been targeted for attack\, but also victimized by enforced immobility. Through years of policies of increasing control\, closure\, and blockade\, Israel has created this vulnerability and it has then deployed immobility as a lethal weapon. This talk traces the trajectory of movement control in Gaza and considers how Gazans have lived with and against these restrictions. \n \nIlana Feldman is Professor of Anthropology\, History\, and International Affairs at George Washington University. She is the author of Governing Gaza: Bureaucracy\, Authority\, and the Work of Rule\, 1917-67 (Duke University Press\, 2008) and Police Encounters: Security and Surveillance in Gaza under Egyptian Rule (Stanford University Press\, 2015)\; and co-editor (with Miriam Ticktin) of In the Name of Humanity: The Government of Threat and Care (Duke University Press\, 2010). \n\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

They thus populate illuminated\, iron-rich (ferruginous) environments where they contribute to biogeochemical cycling of carbon\, iron and many other elements. Though rare on Earth today\, ferruginous conditions were the hallmark of the low oxygen oceans of the Precambrian eons. Photoferrotrophs likely populated these early ferruginous oceans driving primary production and supporting the Precambrian biosphere. Emerging insight from modern photoferrotrophic bacteria suggests that Precambrian photoferrotrophs could have played a pivital role in the evolution of atmospheric chemistry and life over billions of years of Earth’s early history. This seminar will present these recent advances and propose a new model for the evolution of Earth’s early atmosphere and life in the Precambrian eons.

When S is a disjoint union of smooth Jordan domains\, this can be accomplished by equidistributing the roots of P in the boundary of S according to harmonic measure. Why does this work\, and what are the actual values of these polynomials? I will discuss how answering this question involves relating the Poisson kernel (the density of harmonic measure) to contour integrals on various canonical conformal representations of S^c.
