SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Landscapes Imagined: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Veedell creates atmospheric landscape paintings in oil on canvas\, capturing the fleeting moments of light in nature. The root of her work is an emotional reaction to the environment\, implying landscapes not necessarily seen but felt. Veedell lives and works in San Francisco\, and she is inspired by her global travels to places as far away as India and as near as Napa Valley\, California. Travel is an important component of her work as it allows her to observe and compare gradients of color\, light and atmosphere in different geographic locations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Portals: Fiber Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Creative Seasons is a small yet vibrant group of non-traditional quilters from Southeast Michigan that meets monthly. The group’s purpose is to share knowledge\, techniques and work collaboratively on projects and exhibits as decided by the group. The definition of a portal is a door\, means of entrance\, gateway\, approach or architectural composition surrounding an opening. The group chose to interpret this theme with a broad variety of art quilts incorporating hand-dyed and painted fabrics as well as a variety of surface embellishments.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drug Discovery Lecture Series: \"Antibiotic Discovery for Tuberculosis: Returning to a “Golden Target”\, RNA Polymerase\"
DESCRIPTION:Tuberculosis is one of the most important world health problems\, responsible for 9.6 million new cases\, 1.2 million TB-associated deaths (400\,000 of those among HIV-positive people) in 2014 (WHO).  Increases in the occurrence of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) have become an increasingly problematic health crisis.  Clearly there is a critical unmet need for the development of novel antibiotics against M. tuberculosis (MTB) to overcome resistance to current therapeutics.  However\, only one new drug (bedaquiline) with a novel target\, the mycobacterial ATP synthase\, has been approved for the treatment of tuberculosis in the last ~45 years.  The lack of success in inhibiting novel targets suggests that the reinvestigation of targets of previously effective drugs (i.e.\, “Golden Targets”) is a worthy approach.  \n\nThe MTB RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a proven and attractive target because it is essential for bacterial survival\, and there is low similarity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNAPs.  The rifamycins (RIFs) are very potent inhibitors of MTB RNAP\; however\, these agents suffer from resistance (RIFR) via mutation of the target RNAP and drug-drug interactions that result from RIF activation of the human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) (particularly problematic in TB/HIV co-infection).  \n\nDr. Garcia is conducting a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive program that involves high-throughput screening (HTS)\, X-ray crystal structure determinations of inhibitor•RNAP complexes\, structure-based analogue synthesis\, in vitro RNAP inhibition evaluation\, microbiological assessments against M. tuberculosis\, and studies to minimize hPXR activation towards uncovering novel agents to address current MTB treatment limitations.  The first set of RIF analogues exhibit enhanced activity against RIFR RNAP\, reduced hPXR activation for one compound\, and binding to RNAP in the designed mode as shown by our X-ray crystal structures.  A second approach to novel small molecule inhibitors involves development of an efficient in vitro RNAP assay\, which has been scaled  for HTS.  The seminar will focus on this latter campaign and subsequent follow-up studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition. Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n    \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n    \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n    \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n    \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\; Women's Studies Department\; Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.
