Even slight deviances in the molecular or cellular states of these systems can result in debilitating disorders whose severity\, treatment course\, and overall treatment outcome vary widely from patient to patient. This level of complexity likely contributes to promising therapeutics failing within clinical trials and\, thus\, require further exploration. Thus\, the Neumann lab focuses on developing and applying multimodal imaging and profiling techniques to study complex human diseases\, such as renal cell carcinoma\, Alzheimer’s Disease\, and spina bifida. Beyond disease\, we also develop methods for spatially assessing exogenous agents\, including pharmaceuticals\, toxins\, and plastics\, within organ and whole animal models.

Julian Schnabel’s stunning debut charts Basquiat’s dizzying rise and fall with an insider’s eye for authentic details of the downtown arts demimonde as well as a fellow postmodernist’s interest in the dream-like and surreal. Jeffrey Wright’s brilliant introductory performance provides trenchant insight into the artist’s creative passions and personal demons. Cemented by David Bowie as a spot-on Andy Warhol\, Basquiat’s supporting cast is a murderers’ row of Hollywood legends and art lovers (Dennis Hopper\, Gary Oldman\, Benicio del Toro\, Parker Posey\, Christopher Walken\, Willem Dafoe) lending their talents to one of the high points of 90s independent cinema\, an intimate elegy for a once-in-a-generation artistic phenomenon.\n\nNewly restored in black & white\, made from a 4k scan from the original camera negative.

Blues and R&B are laced with punk spirit and film-noir moods to create the band’s singular “garage cabaret” sound. The Claudettes have earned worldwide acclaim with their recordings and concerts that are equal parts heart\, musicianship and theatrical flair. Force-of-nature vocalist Rachel Williams (who dominates the stage like a glam-rock rebirth of Annie Lennox and renowned pianist/songwriter Johnny Iguana join the positively heroic rhythm section of Zach Verdoorn (bass\, guitar\, vocals) and Michael Caskey (drums). Outside the Claudettes\, Iguana has toured with Junior Wells and Otis Rush\, played on many Grammy-nominated albums and recorded with Buddy Guy\, Junior Wells\, Derek Trucks\, Mick Jagger\, Keith Richards\, Johnny Winter and more. Johnny is also composer of the score for the Emmy-winning smash FX/Hulu series “The Bear.”\n\n“Chicago’s original recipe band…The Claudettes’ sonic playing field is the blues and everything after\, all tastefully and artfully blended together….Perhaps the band’s greatest super power: songwriting.”—NPR Music UID:148478-21904355@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148478 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260811T120052 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260910T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260910T230000 SUMMARY:Auditions:Cadence Dance Co.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice. At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review and receive direct feedback from a panel of Stamps faculty members. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \n\nThe works in this year’s exhibition engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\n–Sally Clegg\, Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator & Pedram Baldari\, Assistant Professor\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n
