SUMMARY:Exhibition:By Means of a Pencil
DESCRIPTION:October 9 – November 5\, 2025\nOpening Reception October 9\, 5:00-8:00 pm\nClosing Reception: November 2\, 2:00-5:00 pm\n\nThe U-M Duderstadt Center Gallery presents By Means of a Pencil a solo exhibition by artist and Stamps School of Art & Design LEO Lecturer I Nathan Byrne.\n\nBy Means of a Pencil brings together a body of work centered around the quirky and enigmatic Swiss author Robert Walser. In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s  mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able  to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Functional and phenological consequences of host-microbe feedbacks in the pitcher plant mosquito
DESCRIPTION:Description: The purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) harbors aquatic communities in its water-filled pitchers long used as a model system in community ecology. One inhabitant\, the pitcher plant mosquito (Wyeomyia smithii)\, is an obligate symbiont of pitcher plants\, developing exclusively inside. By studying the top-down and bottom-up interactions between mosquitoes and aquatic bacterial communities I explore feedbacks between a host organism and its environmentally-acquired microbiota. These cross-trophic interactions have consequences for host fitness and broader ecosystem function. Additionally\, I study host-microbe interactions in the context of mosquito diapause (a hibernation-like state)\, where I explore microbiome-mediated coordination of host seasonal metabolism.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | New Discovery of Datong Music Society (1919-ca.1958) “Ancient Musical Instruments” Collection in Munich: Towards Modeling an Invention of “Heritage” in Chinese Musical Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/79r92.\n\nDatong Music Society\, the most progressive native music group in Republican Shanghai and pioneer of modern Chinese music orchestra\, produced many musical instruments during its heyday. Most were lost. A recent discovery (2023) of a set of its “ancient musical instruments” donated to the Deutsches Museum\, Munich in 1925 has prompted new inquiries of the subtle relation between musical revivalism and reformism. This lecture probes Datong’s negotiation between historical allusion and experimental modification\, theorizing its ancient music program as an invention of “heritage” that reveals the meaning and problematics of music in early Chinese modernity.\n   \n   Joys HY Cheung (Ph.D. in Musicology/Ethnomusicology\, University of Michigan\; MM in Ethnomusicology\, University of Texas) is an associate professor at the Graduate Institute of Ethnomusicology\, National Taiwan Normal University. Her research has focused on the field of “music” in Chinese modernity emerging from interwar Shanghai\, including issues of translated modernity\, networks\, the sublime\, qin listening\, historiography\, and heritage negotiations. Her recent publications include \"The Art Song of East Asia and Australia\, 1900-1950\" (co-edited with Alison Tokita\, Routledge\, 2023)\, and “Making Chinese Instrumental Relics in Pre-UNESCO Modernity: Datong Music Society’s ‘Heritage’ Project” (Journal of Music Research 音樂研究\, Taipei). Her article “Riding the Wind with Mozart’s ‘Jupiter’ Symphony: The Kantian and Daoist Sublimes in Chinese Musical Modernity” (Music & Letters\, UK\, 2015) received the Rulan Chao Pian Publication Prize in 2016. With her recent discovery of a set of Chinese musical instruments donated by the Datong Music Society to Deutsches Museum in Munich\, Germany in 1925\, she has initiated a collaborative exhibit and research project between her institution and the Deutsches Museum. She was a scholar-in-residence at the Deutsches Museum\, May to July 2025.
