The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic. Her current project\, Phranc Talk: The Butch Closet\, is a multi-media memoir that spans her 40-year career. Phranc lives and works in Santa Monica\, California and Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\n*Phranc is the 2024 Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.* UID:123255-21850600@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123255 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Art,Exhibition,Feminism,Gender,Humanities,LGBT,visual arts LOCATION:Thayer Academic Building - Institute for the Humanities Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817910@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240928T063328 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Alvarez & Marsal's Consumer & Retail Group | Full Time Role Virtual Coffee Chats DESCRIPTION:Please use the SignUp Genius Link to select a time slot to chat with one of our colleagues to learn more about what Alvarez &\; Marsal's Consumer &\; Retail Group has to offer. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4DA5AA28A0FBCE9-51201221-allschoolAlvarez &\; Marsal (A&\;M) is a premier independent global professional services firm specializing in providing turnaround management\, restructuring\, performance improvement and corporate advisory services. Established five years ago\, A&\;M’s Consumer &\; Retail Group continues to experience high growth.   A&\;M’s Consumer and Retail Group combines the best of A&\;M’s bias toward action and practicality with deep industry experience from bringing together management consultants and operators. Our purpose is to translate our experience\, innovative thinking and bias for action into tangible results for our clients\, putting them on the right side of this disruption\, and positioning them for long term success. The work we do:\nGrowth Strategy &\; Implementation\nLarge Scale Transformation\nM&\;A\, Carve-out and Post-Merger Integration\nOperations\nMerchandising &\; Assortment Optimization\n UID:125970-21856362@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/125970 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240815T124411 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Craft Lecture: How to Bake an Apple Pie from Scratch: Realistic Characters in Speculative Worlds DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters24\n\nSeats are limited and are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public\, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in The Robert Hayden Conference Room\, Angell Hall #3222).

However\, writing the uncanny can be an act of resilience and survival by the oppressed. Over the years\, I’ve noticed that my writing has benefited most from mentors who balance practicality with the stars. I longed for a class that would show me how to hew closer to human experience while keeping one eye on the ineffable. This class will explore the rigorous craft behind breaking the laws of physics in fiction and creative non-fiction.* I’ll share personal meters of classification and offer methods and tips on rendering the profound mundane. Writers will leave with prompts designed to move them into new parts of their creativity\, and a reading/film/art list to continue the learning. This is the craft class I wish I had when I was in my MFA. A nuts-and-bolts practical look into structure\, time\, and the uncanny. With a seat saved for humor\, sound\, and Cher.\"\n\nMarie-Helene Bertino is the author of the novels *Beautyland*\, *Parakeet* (NYTimes Editor's Choice) and *2 a.m. at The Cat's Pajamas*\, and the short story collection *Safe as Houses*.\n\nAwards include The O.

Under a dependent multifactor model\, we develop a fully data-driven orchestrated approximate message passing algorithm for integrating information across these feature sets to achieve statistically optimal signal recovery. In practice\, these reference data sets are often queried later by new subjects that are only partially observed. Leveraging on asymptotic normality of estimates generated by our data integration method\, we further develop an asymptotically valid prediction set for the latent representation of any such query subject. We demonstrate the prowess of both the data integration and the prediction set construction algorithms on a tri-modal single-cell dataset.\n\nhttps://zmastat.github.io/ UID:124532-21853148@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124532 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240913T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621389@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
