SUMMARY:Other:Global Graffiti Project: Mural painting by Greek street artist Olga Alexopoulou
DESCRIPTION:Note: Exact times Olga Alexopoulou will be painting are TBA.\n\nThis project is a partnership between the Institute for the Humanities\, Modern Greek Studies\, and History of Art. It intends to engage the campus and Ann Arbor community with national and international graffiti artists and their work\, offering a global perspective of street art and its importance as a part of public space and discourse within the public sphere.  \n\nThe Greek capital of Athens is a vibrant cultural hot spot as a result of the financial crisis. Some are calling it the New Berlin\, as the next generation of artists and designers are turning to the streets to express social messages. \n\nGreek Artists Olga Alexopoulou and Cacao Rocks will be painting murals on the building façade at Washington and North State. Alexopoulou’s graphic figurative work and Rocks' vibrant cubist influenced imagery represent the diversity of expression in the Greek street art scene.\n\nThe project also includes exhibitions\, and public lectures and discussions\, all free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the artist: Olga Alexopoulou\, [Athenian born 1980]\, graduate of the Ruskin School of Art of Oxford University. In the last years her works have been exhibited in museums like Nigbo in China and her solo show in the Ethnological Museum of Thrace\, her latest solo exhibition at the Museum of Spyros Vasiliou in Athens\, but also in galleries around the world. Olga was ‘Artist in Spotlight’ for 2014 at the International Exhibition Tio Ilar Athens and was chosen to represent Greece in the global graffiti event 'She's a Leader' by Women's Forum. She has completed the largest\, so far\, graffiti in Greece and she was invited to the award winning Street Art Österlen festival\, Sweden.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Future for Flint’s Children
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha is Director\, Pediatric Residency Program at Hurley Medical Center\, Assistant Professor Pediatrics and Human Development\, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.\n\nOne year ago\, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha held a press conference announcing the results of her research which indicated that a number of Flint children had elevated blood-lead levels which had nearly doubled since water began to be drawn from the Flint river. Since then this pediatrician has devoted much of her practice to the evaluation of the impact of this lead exposure. Interventions will include maternal and infant support\, improved pre-school and school health services as well as nutrition services. She will identify and discuss the problems that these children face and suggest some solutions to address these problems. Pre-registration highly recommended.\n\n This is the firstin the series of nine Distinguished Lectures. The next lecture in the series will be October 11\, 2016.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside
DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography and Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nUncertainty about economic conditions\, not merely average wage differentials between markets\, affects migration. Ex-ante forward\, guaranteed contracts can reduce uncertainty for migrants.  I combine aspects of the two and ask\, how does origin-market uncertainty affect out-migration under forward contracts?  I model migration under forward contracts and then turn to new\, unique microdata on roughly 250\,000 Indian indentured servants sent around the world under forward contracts. The migration decision is consistent with migrating to escape price volatility (my main measure of uncertainty). A one-standard deviation increase in price volatility increases extensive margin migration by 2% and the intensive margin by 5%.  I find compositional differences by social network (caste)\, with networks responding differently to volatility.  Lower-caste people respond more to prices\, wages\, and volatility\, and higher-caste people are more able to smooth against volatility.  This is suggestive of caste-specific insurance networks.  Finally\, volatility exerts a persistent negative effect on the return migration choice.  A one-standard deviation in volatility at the time of departure lowers return migration (within roughly 10 years) by 5%.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dream as “Being”: Du Liniang and Her Field of “Being”
DESCRIPTION:This discussion focuses on a tragic heroine Du Liniang in the novel The Peony Pavilion(1598) written by Tang Xuanzu (1550-1616). For several centuries from the Ming and to the Qing dynasty\, The Peony Pavilion moved many readers and audiences for many years\, particularly female audiences at the final scene when they learned about the tragic fate of  Du Liniang. In this presentation\, Professor Zou will delve into Du Liniang’s character\, a woman who lived under the extremely strict constraint on her living space and spiritual world\, both from ideological pressure and constraints on her body.  Professor Zou explained that Du Liniang is not a “being” because she is alienated from the real word until she enters a condition of boundless life (death) and starts to have a song of her own\, a song that signifies “being.”\n\n*Image: Du Liniang and her “being” in three zones\n\nBiography\n\nZOU Yuanjiang is Professor of Philosophy and a supervisor of doctoral degree candidates at Wuhan University. Professor Zou is the director of the Chinese Aesthetic Society\; President of the Hubei Academy of Aesthetics\; Chinese Opera Society Executive Director\; Vice President of Tang Xianzu Research Association\; and Tang Xianzu Research editor in chief. He has published more than 150 papers in leading journals and a number of monographs\, including Emotion and Dream in Tang Xianzu\, and Aesthetic System of Mei Lanfang’s Acting. He has received central government grants to lead four research projects\, and has been invited to give lectures in Leeds University\, Newcastle University\, Aberdeen University \, University of London SOAS\, Paris Diderot University\, University of Paris West Nanterre La Défense\, University of Franche-Comté\, University of Trier\, University of Bonn and Waseda University in Japan.
