The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Even as a full range of vernacular forms developed and thrived in premodern East Asia\, literary Sinitic works continued to flourish: stimulating and in turn being stimulated by vernacular works. But whereas such texts moved relatively unproblematically across the region\, the sound associated with such texts varied widely. This talk explores the implications of aural variation for a literary form in which the sound of words is especially privileged: poetry\, focusing on Sinitic poetry from Japan’s nineteenth century.\n\nMatthew Fraleigh is Associate Professor of East Asian Literature and Culture at Brandeis University. His research concerns the literature of early modern Japan\, especially kanshibun (Sinitic poetry and prose). He is the author of Plucking Chrysanthemums: Narushima Ryūhoku and Sinitic Literary Traditions in Modern Japan (Harvard\, 2016).

This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act\, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

Johnson\, Ph.D.\, University of Arizona DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nCopper is broadly toxic to bacteria. This fact has been exploited since antiquity to store food and prevent spoilage. Currently\, copper is being used in tools and surfaces in hospitals because of its ability to significantly reduce bacterial spread and nosocomial infections compared to stainless steel. Our bodies also use copper\, via innate immune cells\, to kill pathogenic bacteria. Underscoring the necessity to purge intracellular copper\, bacteria have evolved copper export systems\, which are highly conserved. How copper is toxic to bacteria and how they try to adapt represent fundamental gaps in knowledge that my laboratory is trying to address. Elucidating these pathways and their mechanisms will reveal new targets and strategies to combat pathogens. We have previously shown that disrupting copper export significantly attenuates bacterial virulence during multiple modes of infection\, suggesting that bacterial systems used to overcome copper stress\, such as the copper export system\, are viable therapeutic targets. We also have performed a microarray that highlights S. pneumoniae changes in gene expression under copper stress\, which provided valuable insight on how S. pneumoniae adapts to copper stress and the systems targeted by copper. From this data\, we have shown that one mechanism of copper toxicity in S. pneumoniae is disrupting nucleotide synthesis\, thus preventing DNA replication. I will discuss these findings and an additional novel pathway used to overcome copper stress that is regulated in a copper dependent manner.\n\nSpeaker:\nMichael D.L. Johnson received his bachelor's degree in music from Duke University. He then obtained a Ph.D. in biochemistry and biophysics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, where he studied the effects of calcium on bacterial motility and attachment under the mentorship of Matthew Redinbo. For his postdoctoral training\, Johnson went to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to work with Jason Rosch on metal homeostasis of Streptococcus pneumoniae and\, subsequently\, with Douglas Green on the mechanisms of LC3-associated phagocytosis. Michael Johnson joined the faculty of the University of Arizona in 2016\, where he studies how metals affect a variety of bacterial processes.\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Reception to follow.\n\nAbout the event:\n\nOver 50% of people in state prisons have been convicted of violent crimes\, and in recent decades the rate at which people are being incarcerated for violent crimes has been increasing even as actual crime rates have been falling. Clearly any robust solution to the problem of mass incarceration in the United States must include a better way to handle violent offenses.\n\nDanielle Sered will speak about her experience directing Common Justice\, a program of the Vera Institute of Justice that develops and advances solutions to violence that transform the lives of those harmed and foster racial equity without relying on incarceration. It is the first alternative-to-incarceration and victim-service program in the United States that focuses on violent felonies in adult courts. The evidence shows that both violence and mass incarceration can be reduced at the same time.\n\nUnder Danielle Sered’s leadership Common Justice received the Award for Innovation in Victim Services from Attorney General Holder and the federal Office for Victims of Crime in 2012. Before planning the launch of Common\nJustice\, Danielle served as the deputy director of Vera’s Adolescent Reentry Initiative\, a program for young men returning from incarceration on Rikers Island. Prior to joining Vera\, she worked at the Center for Court Innovation's\nHarlem Community Justice Center\, where she led its programs for court-involved and recently incarcerated youth. Danielle teaches about restorative justice at CUNY and was a Rhodes Scholar.

To Gladwell\, the growth cool hunting signaled the reversal of longstanding rules about cultural influence: rather than trickle down from above\, “cool” bubbled up from below. Only through tapping into these new tastemakers—found on inner city basketball courts and skate parks\, in places like East L.A. and the South Bronx—could companies ever hope to keep pace with youthful demographics and stay ahead of the competition.\n\nThis talk explores the rise and fall of cool hunting between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s. Rather than see cool hunting as a marketing fad\, I argue that it is part of a longer history of corporate attempts to forecast\, anticipate\, and marketize the cultural future. Taking advantage of contemporary technological\, intellectual\, and cultural developments\, cool hunting harnessed “cool” to make the terrain of youth culture more legible and trackable. Cool hunting likewise revealed a growing consensus—shared among marketers\, academics\, and cultural critics alike—that “subcultures\,” broadly understood\, were profitable target markets and icons of inspirational resistance. My talk will unravel the tensions\, assumptions\, and implications inherent within cool hunting\, and consider what broader lessons it may teach about influence\, taste\, and cultural prediction.

Vampire bat-transmitted rabies creates a loss of an estimated $30M/yr in livestock mortality across the Americas. Typical control measures\, such as the culling of bats or livestock immunization have proven ineffective\, and sometimes counterproductive in halting rabies transmission. Bat culling is accomplished via a topical poison in gel form\, which is spread through contact and grooming in the colony. With the success of the oral-rabies vaccine in North American raccoons and European foxes\, a raccoon pox vectored rabies vaccine has been specifically developed for bats. To address the feasibility of such a vaccine\, we field-tested a biomarker\, thus simulating vaccine deployment\, in four vampire bat colonies near Lima\, Peru. Because understanding the within-colony contact network is vital for a successful vaccine\, we also completed mark/recapture experiments with UV powder. Finally\, we developed a novel model to simulate vaccine transmission within a colony. I will discuss these findings and yet unresolved issues towards implementing a successful rabies vaccine.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/Xj-UH5n0-sQ UID:42292-9593397@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42292 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171006T123849 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171012T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171012T183000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Policy simulation exercise on the diplomacy surrounding North Korea. DESCRIPTION:This exercise simulates Six-Party Talks on the North Korean nuclear crisis. After an introduction\, students break into groups of six. Each plays the part of lead negotiator for one of the parties to the talks—China\, Japan\, South Korea\, North Korea\, Russia and the United States. At the end\, the whole group reconvenes for a debriefing. The exercise helps participants learn about key issues on the Korean Peninsula and the challenges of crafting a diplomatic solution.\n \nThis simulation was developed by the Korea Economic Institute\, a Washington-based think tank promoting dialogue and understanding between the Republic of Korea and the United States on economic\, political\, and security relations. The exercise has been used in leading policy schools and universities around the country. KEI communications director Jenna Gibson will lead the simulation at the Ford School.\n \nThis policy simulation exercise is open to Ford School Students only.

A Kelsey Museum project begun there in 2013 aimed to investigate the wider area for remains of an ancient settlement whose existence was hinted at in the original excavator’s field notebooks.

The world has looked on in shock and horror as riot police beat up peaceful protesters and forcibly repressed a vote on an independence referendum in Catalonia\, Spain.\n\nMadrid’s barbaric crackdown was not a legal action\, but an act of terror against innocent people aimed at whipping an entire region of Spain into line. The crackdown\, coming after weeks of threats and police operations launched by Madrid in Catalonia\, is a political indictment not only of the ruling Partido Popular\, but of the entire Spanish ruling elite and all of Spain’s main NATO allies.\n\nWhile the IYSSE condemns the police crackdown in Catalonia\, we also oppose the Catalan nationalists parties who seek to build a new capitalist state in Catalonia. The division of the Spanish working class by parties with a long record of supporting war and imposing austerity\, offers workers nothing. On the contrary such a move would separate Catalan workers from their greatest ally against Madrid’s onslaught: the entire Spanish and European working class.\n\nIn opposition to the 21st century madhouse of the European Union\, the working class must advance its own strategy: the development of a working class counter-offensive\, mobilizing workers across national borders in a common struggle for socialism.\n\nJoin the IYSSE for a critical analysis of the events in Spain\, the question of separatism\, the global crisis of capitalism\, and the way forward for the international working class.

These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696886@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171013T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171013T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit\, the themes of 1967—housing segregation\, media bias\, student activism\, and police violence—resonated here as well. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15\, 2017\, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection. These materials place the rebellion in the context of 1960s activism against racism and inequality in Detroit and Ann Arbor\, and illustrate the significance and range of press coverage.

Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560434@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593351@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170925T091522 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171013T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171013T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:2017 Fall UM ASCE/EESA Civil and Environmental Engineering Career Fair DESCRIPTION:The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)\, along with the Environmental Engineering Student Association (EESA)\, are hosting the annual Civil and Environmental Engineering Career Fair.

Immigrants have negotiated inconsistent and discriminatory definitions of authorized and unauthorized belonging and targeted restrictions on citizenship since the nation’s founding. This symposium brings together scholars who will illuminate the historical experiences of Asian American\, Latinx\, African American\, Muslim\, Jewish\, gendered\, and sexualized immigrants from the late-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.\n\nLibby Garland is Associate Professor of History at Kingsborough College\, The City University of New York\, where she teaches immigration history and urban history. She earned her PhD at the University of Michigan. Garland is the author of After They Closed the Gates: Jewish Illegal Immigration to the United States\, 1921-1965 (University of Chicago Press\, 2014)\, winner of both the American Jewish Historical Society’s Saul Viener book prize and the American Historical Association’s Dorothy Rosenberg prize in 2015.\n\nKunal Parker is a professor and Dean's Distinguished Scholar with a PhD in history from Princeton University\, a JD from Harvard Law School\, and a BA from Harvard University. He recently completed Making Foreigners: Immigration and Citizenship Law in America (Cambridge University Press\, 2015). His first book\, Common Law\, History\, and Democracy in America\, 1790-1900: Legal Thought Before Modernism\, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2011. Professor Parker's teaching areas and interests include American legal history\, estates and trusts\, immigration and nationality law\, and property.\n\nAnna Pegler-Gordon became interested in US immigration policy when she was photographed for her immigration papers in 1990. Her first book\, In Sight of Ellis Island: Photography and the Development of US Immigration Policy\, began as a dissertation in the University of Michigan Department of American Culture. In Sight of America won the Immigration and Ethnic History Society Theodore Saloutos Book Award (2009) and an essay drawn from this research was included in Best American History Essays (2008). Pegler-Gordon is currently completing work on a second book project\, tentatively titled From East to East: Asian Migration and the Hidden History of Ellis Island. Pegler-Gordon is an associate professor at Michigan State University\, teaching in the James Madison College and the Asian Pacific American Studies program. She recently stepped down as director of MSU’s APA Studies program and has started as director of a graduate fellowship program focused on interdisciplinary inquiry and teaching.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Under the mentorship of Dr. Rado Pisot and co-mentorship of Dr. Voyko Kavcic\, he specialized in the field of neurophysiology and in the course of his doctoral dissertation examined the effect of cognitive training during bed rest in elderly on their cognitive functioning\, mobility control and brain electrocortical activity. During the course of his doctoral studies\, Dr. Marusic was actively involved in the work of the research group of Dr. Romain Meeusen at the Department of human physiology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium\, EU). \n\nAbstract: In addition to physical training\, different forms of mental training have been shown to positively influence motor performance and motor learning also in the older age. This talk will introduce different forms of mental training such as (computerized) cognitive training\, motor imagery\, and movement observation. Recent studies have demonstrated that cognitive training alone can lead to improved mobility performance in different populations (e.g. healthy elderly or patients with Parkinson’s disease) due to a close link between enhanced cognition and motor control. To illustrate this close link\, the talk will present the current behavioral adaptations in gait control as well as neural adaptations of the brain assessed by existing neuroimaging technology (multichannel EEG\, fMRI). The potential usage of cognition-based approaches in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities will also be presented with an emphasis on the development of modern prosthesis that are controlled by psychophysiological measures.

Temperature\, Labor Productivity\, and Adaptation to Climate Change in the United States DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis study explores the labor-related production impacts of temperature stress both for its own interest and to understand the role of adaptation in responding to climate change. Focusing on non-agricultural output\, we find that hot temperature exerts a significant causal impact on local labor product. Highly exposed industries such as construction and transportation exhibit substantially larger impacts\, and places that experience more extreme heat exposure in expectation (e.g. Houston) experience lower impacts per hot day than cooler regions (e.g. Boston). A year with 10 additional 90F days would reduce output per capita in highly exposed sectors by -3.5% in counties in the coldest quintile and -1.3%\, roughly a third\, in the warmest quintile. County-level air-conditioning penetration explains a large proportion of these differences\, though we cannot rule out other factors correlated with AC uptake. Failure to account for long-run adaptation to heat stress could result in over-estimating labor-related climate damages in 2040 by at least 23%\, possibly 50% or more. While these estimates suggest workers and firms can adapt to heat stress in the long-run\, they also imply realistic limits\, at least given current technologies.

Accent discrimination resulting from negative attitudes linked to stereotypes of social groups is well-recognized in sociolinguistic research (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016\; Gluszek & Dovidio\, 2010). More recently\, researchers have begun to assess how perceptual fluency\, or the effortfulness that listeners feel in understanding accented speech\, affects attitudes towards speakers. Disfluent perception\, the experience associated with effortful information processing\, leads to negative emotions and attitudes toward that information (Alter\, 2013\; Alter & Oppenheimer\, 2009)\, and disfluent perception of an unfamiliar accent leads to negative evaluations of the speaker (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016). Yet listeners have a robust ability to adapt to and understand highly variable speech patterns\, as shown by improvements in comprehension of non-native speech with listening experience (Baese-Berk\, Bradlow\, & Wright\, 2013\; Bradlow & Bent\, 2008\; Sidaras\, Alexander\, & Nygaard\, 2009). Thus\, to the extent that negative attitudes are the result of difficult comprehension\, attitudes should improve with adaptation.\n\nTo test this hypothesis\, participants' pupil dilation (a physiological measure of cognitive effort)\, self-reported ease of comprehension\, and attitude ratings were measured over the course of a listening experiment. Pilot data show that pupil dilation decreases with experience with a non-native accent\, indicating decreased listening effort. Over the same period\, ratings of the speaker on warmth traits (e.g.\, \"kind\"\, \"friendly\") improved significantly. However\, self-reported ease of understanding did not change. These results provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that attitudes improve as a result of easier comprehension\, even though participants' do no report being aware of this improvement in comprehension.

He is the \nauthor of Revolutionizing Repertoires: The Rise of Populist Mobilization in Peru (University of Chicago Press) and has published various articles on Latin American politics in academic journals. After receiving his Ph.D. in sociology from UCLA\, he spent three years as a junior fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows. He is currently an assistant professor at the University of Michigan. \n\nRecent political events in the U.S. and Europe have brought renewed \nattention to the problem of populism. But what exactly are we talking about when we talk about populism? And what do we know about its social and political causes and consequences? This lecture provides some provisional answers to these difficult questions by considering various moments in the political history of Latin America—a region that has long been susceptible to populist mobilization and claims-making. \n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

I identify at least two extant species of workspace prevalent in the literature\, and I suggest an unattested formulation. I consider how differing instantiations of the workspace interact with other derivational apparatus such as Minimal Search and the Extension Condition. I also explore how the properties of the workspace may have empirical consequences for phenomena such as Merge-over-Move/Move-over-Merge effects. Other empirical domains which have the potential to be connected to properties of the workspace are also discussed.

Her award-winning book\, MIGRA! A History of the US Border Patrol (University of California Press\, 2010)\, explored the making and meaning of the US Border Patrol in the US-Mexico borderlands\, arguing that the century-long surge of US immigration law enforcement in the US-Mexico borderlands is a story of race in America. Her most recently published book\, City of Inmates: Conquest and the Rise of Human Caging in Los Angeles (University of North Carolina Press\, 2017)\, is an unsettling tale that spans two centuries to unearth the long rise of incarceration as a social institution bent toward disappearing targeted populations from land\, life\, and society in the United States. She is also the project lead for Million Dollar Hoods\, a digital mapping project that documents how much is spent on incarceration in Los Angeles.\n\nEithne Luibhéid is a professor of gender and women’s studies at the University of Arizona. She served as the director of the Institute for LGBT Studies from 2007-2011. Her research focuses on the connections among queer lives\, state immigration controls\, and justice struggles. Luibhéid is the author of Pregnant on Arrival: Making the ‘Illegal’ Immigrant (University of Minnesota Press\, 2013) and Entry Denied: Controlling Sexuality at the Border (University of Minnesota Press\, 2002). Luibhéid’s current book manuscript\, “Why Don’t They Just Get in Line? Immigration\, Deportability\, and Queer Intimacies\,” explores how deportability is being extended and resisted through intimate ties between LGBT undocumented migrants and US citizens.\n\nLara Putnam is UCIS Research Professor and chair of the Department of History at the University of Pittsburgh.

The sine qua non of this view is its claim about the origin of chronometricity but this is often overshadowed by the reductive ontological claim that follows in the special case of special relativity (SR). As a result\, its status as a viable interpretation of general relativity (GR) is often overlooked. In GR\, this interpretation relies on the existence of two contingent\, unexplained\, seemingly conspiratorial facts---miracles\, if you will. In this paper\, I argue\, based on recent work by Schuller and collaborators\, that the dynamical approach\, in fact\, requires only one miracle. Based on this\, I argue that it provides an explanatorily superior interpretation to orthodox geometrical approaches.

However\, earthquakes present us with some of the most challenging questions in mechanics. By better understanding the nucleation and propagation dynamics of earthquakes\, we may make progress towards minimizing their negative impact. Insights from mechanics may help in the development of better seismic hazard models as well as in the construction of more efficient earthquake early warning systems. In this presentation\, I will give a brief overview of the multiscale nature of the earthquake mechanics problem and discuss some recent research efforts in my group to establish dynamic rupture models with high resolution fault zone physics\, \nAs a starting point I will review evidence for fault zone complexity at different scales. I will introduce a thermodynamically consistent viscoplasticity theory\, based on the shear transformation zone approach\, that enables prediction of fault gouge rheology under a wide range of pressure and slip rate. By implementing this theory in a continuum mechanics framework\, it is possible to model and resolve complex localization patterns observed in sheared fault zones as well as emergence of stick slip instabilities due to transitions in rate sensitivity. I will further show predictions of the theory for response of gouge to acoustic vibrations and implications for seismic triggering as well as slow slip generation.\nNext\, I will show that anisotropic damage features and material heterogeneities in fault zones\, including small scale branches\, fault-parallel joints\, and soft inclusions\, may play a significant role in modulating rupture dynamics which may be missed if standard plasticity models or bulk homogenization techniques are implemented. I will give two examples. First\, I will show that a fault parallel soft inclusion may trigger supershear rupture transition under circumstances not possible in homogeneous materials. Second\, I will show that small scale fault branches slow down rupture on main fault\, reduce peak slip rate and lead to emergence of complex wave field in the bulk and enhancement of high frequency radiation due to destructive and constructive interferences.\nI will close by describing some numerical challenges in modeling these complex systems and our progress in addressing them. I will briefly introduce a new hybrid numerical scheme that combines finite difference and spectral boundary integral methods for exact near field truncation of the wave field and efficient scale domain decomposition. By integrating the different mechanistic features of the problem\, from multiphysics modeling of fault zone to multiscale representation of geometric and material complexities\, we hope to establish a unique approach to the earthquake problem that will provide new opportunities in interpreting seismic observations and creating more accurate seismic hazard models.

While their movement was subsumed by the colonial state under the overall rubric of ‘slave trafficking’\, I argue that the category of ‘trafficking’—then as now—glossed over a number of trajectories for women’s mobility\, not all coercive or limiting. The larger project that this paper is a part of looks at the legal and social category of ‘marriage’ as a regulatory regime that continues to have repercussions for citizenship and mobility across borders in the region. In contemporary times\, women cross borders— notably from Sindh and Bengal—to marry in Kutch\, now a district in the western Indian state of Gujarat that shares a border with Pakistan’s Sindh province. These marriages can be expressions of aspirational mobility\, or a creative use of borders to negotiate citizenship rights in the aftermaths of partitioned territories. While some of these marriages are recognized legally and socially\, others are designated as ‘trafficking.’ The paper asks: when is women’s mobility across borders sanctioned as ‘marriage’ and when is it criminalized as ‘trafficking’? What categories are used by the state and popular discourse in their evaluation of licit and illicit sexuality? How have these changed over time in a single region? Central to the nineteenth century state’s understanding of marriage and trafficking was their understanding of the legally free and un-free person. While slaves were legally seen as un-free\, the state took it upon itself to liberate them\, thereby criminalizing those who purchased\, sold or otherwise transported them within British jurisdictions. On the other hand\, this paper will argue that women and their presumed ‘traffickers’ took recourse to multiple legal discourses in circulation across the Indian Ocean region. These proposed a range of ways in which those designated as ‘trafficked’ could move along the continuum of bondage and freedom. Judgements and legal opinions from shari‘a courts in locations as diverse as Yemen\, Muscat and Bombay were invoked to present alternatives to the marriage-or-trafficking paradigm of the state. In the debates over slavery and its abolition\, the colonial state of the mid- to late nineteenth century\, in its jurisdictions over western India\, the Persian Gulf and East Africa\, encountered legal and social elaborations of the family\, marriage and co-habitation that push us to interrogate these anthropological categories in the present. Finally\, the richly textured testimonies of these mobile women\, add a refreshingly gendered dimension to existing work on Indian Ocean migration. \n \nFarhana Ibrahim is Associate Professor of Sociology and Social Anthropology at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences\, Indian Institute of Technology\, Delhi. Her research interests include the study of borders\, migration and ethnographic perspectives on the state. Her book\, Settlers\, Saints\, and Sovereigns: An Ethnography of State Formation in Western India (Routledge 2009) was an ethnographic study of mobility and place making by Muslim pastoralists along the Kutch-Sindh border in the light of resurgent Hindu nationalist discourses in Gujarat in the early 2000s. Her current book project looks at issues of gender\, citizenship\, surveillance and security in cross border migration in Kutch.

While creaky phonation has been discussed both in the linguistic literature and in the popular press\, it is unclear how accurately naïve listeners can detect creaky voice\, and what factors facilitate or hinder its identification. Three possibilities are considered: (1) listeners’ identification of creak in American English may be modulated by acoustic properties of speakers’ voices not related to their gender\, (2) listeners may be biased to attribute creaky phonation to women even when it is also present in male speakers\, or (3) they may identify creak equally among all speakers. In this study\, American listeners are presented with two experiments containing stimuli from both high- and low-pitched male and female speakers. Other manipulations include whether or not the utterance is a full sentence\, and whether the utterance is completely modal\, completely creaky\, or partially creaky (final 40-50% of the utterance). A robust finding is that listeners are least accurate on partial creak\, suggesting that creaky phonation is least salient when it serves as an utterance-final marker. There are no strong effects of gender aside from a weak tendency to identify creak more often for females than males in the whole creak condition in one experiment. In contrast\, when no creak is present\, listeners false alarm on the low-pitched males. Overall results indicate that rates of identifying creak in male and female speakers are relatively similar\, but prosodic properties and acoustic characteristics such as F0 interact with how well listeners can recognize creaky vs. modal speech.

We install small “handles” into determined allosteric sites of the target protein that modulate its activity without affecting endogenous interactions and function. To modulate protein activity with light or a ligand\, we utilize small naturally occurring LOV2 for light and artificially designed uniRapR for ligand\, correspondingly. Upon irradiation or without the ligand\, LOV2 or UniRapR are unstructured\; without light or with the ligand\, these domains are structured. Through allostery the structural order/disorder is coupled to the active site of the protein rendering it active/inactive. Hence\, by light or a ligand we can access the activity of the protein through “invisible” handles installed at a distance from the active site. We demonstrate the utility of the chemogenetic and optogenetic approaches to protein regulation in a number of applications relevant to cellular motility.

Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593352@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170530T090453 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171014T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171014T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Association for Political Theory Conference DESCRIPTION:To be held at the Michigan League UID:29065-2958452@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29065 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:conference,Politics LOCATION:Michigan League CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170510T144424 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171014T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171014T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.
