She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754463@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190124T151050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190129T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190129T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Chibueze Amanchukwu DESCRIPTION:Stanford University\n“Controlling Electrochemistry using Electrolyte Design”\n\nABSTRACT\nTo accelerate the electrification of transport\, batteries based on a lithium metal anode and an oxygen/sulfur-based cathode with high energy densities have elicited great interest. However\, electrolyte selection and degradation has limited the maximal energy that can be extracted\, and reduced cycle life. In this talk\, I will discuss my work on developing small molecule and polymer-based composite electrolytes that can decouple instability from ionic transport. I show novel ionic transport processes within these electrolyte architectures\, and their ability to control electrochemical reactions at both the negative and positive electrode surfaces. Firstly\, a gel polymer electrolyte is designed to control the oxygen reduction pathway in a lithium-air battery\, and secondly\, a small molecule electrolyte mixture is designed to reduce the overpotentials required for lithium metal deposition and stripping. Using the electrolyte to control electrochemical reactions provides an additional knob for the design of high energy density systems. \n\n\nSHORT BIO\nChibueze Amanchukwu is a TomKat Center Postdoctoral Fellow in Sustainable Energy at Stanford University. His expertise involves the study of ionic transport processes in electrolytes for energy storage applications. Under the supervision of professor Zhenan Bao at Stanford and in collaboration with professor Yi Cui\, his work has focused on understanding ionic transport processes in small molecule electrolytes and controlling lithium metal deposition and stripping. During his PhD with professor Paula Hammond at MIT and collaboration with professor Yang Shao-Horn\, he studied degradation processes and ionic transport in polymer electrolytes for lithium-air batteries. He is broadly interested in electrolytes and electrochemistry.

Stuczynski will explore the archeology of the term \"men of the nation\,\" as the Portuguese New Christians or Conversos were named\, by searching its chronological appearance\, function\, and semantic field. He will also discuss the extant lists of Converso \"pardon tax payers\" and those who tried to prove their non-inclusion in these lists through dispensations in order to be dissociated from the \"men of the nation\" group. This lecture will analyze these sources in a way that attempts to change the way we perceive Converso identity. Instead of depicting it in passive terms of imposed and/or inherited ethnicity\, or in loose terms of Converso memory\, an analysis of the lists of tax pardon payers and documents of pardon dispensations implies an engaging construction of Converso identities Stuczynski calls: \"negotiations of belonging.\"\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Modulation instability initiated SC generation leads to a simple SC source with no moving parts and that uses off-the-shelf components from the mature telecommunications and fiber optics industry. The resulting light sources are basically a cascade of fibers pumped by fiber-pigtailed laser diodes and some drive and control electronics\; thus\, the SC sources have the potential to be cost-effective\, compact and reliable. Starting from fused silica fibers\, the SC spectrum can be extended to shorter or longer wavelengths by cascading fibers with appropriate dispersion and/or transparency. As one example\, we demonstrate a long-wave infrared SC source that generates a continuous spectrum from 1.57 to 12 microns using a fiber cascade comprising fused silica fiber followed by ZBLAN fluoride fiber followed by sulfide fiber and\, finally\, a high-numerical-aperture selenide fiber. The time-averaged output power is 417 mW at 33% duty cycle\, and we observe a near-diffraction-limit\, single spatial-mode beam across the entire spectral range. A prototype is described that is based on a three-layer architecture with a form factor of 16.7”x10”x5.7” and that plugs into a standard wall plug. This SC prototype has been used in a number of field tests as the active illuminator for stand-off FTIR system over distances of 5 to 25m\, thus enabling identification of targets or samples based on their chemical signature.

In this talk\, I follow Smith’s solitaries through the lonely landscapes of her poetry—along riverbanks\, into caves\, and finally into the sea—tracing how she repeatedly uses the image of the “shell” as a conceit for the poet’s lyre\, in order to theorize lyric. Although Smith seems to emphasize solitude as singularity\, I show how she makes supposedly singular voices multiple. Allusion\, quotation\, and self-quotation abound\, constituting a playful\, echoic poetics\, in which the same lines are sometimes voiced by different characters\, echoing across the distance between different texts. Her vision of loneliness questions the assumption that singular minds are constrained by singular bodies. Challenging our understanding of Romantic loneliness\, Smith presents a model for how Romantic poets were lonely together. \n\nAmelia Worsley is an Assistant Professor of English at Amherst College. Her current book project\, Lonely Poets and their Publics: Being Alone Together in British Romantic Poetry\, focuses on Mary Robinson\, Charlotte Smith\, Samuel Taylor Coleridge\, William Wordsworth\, Robert Southey\, and various abolition poets. She has also written articles about loneliness in Shakespeare\, Milton\, and D.W. Winnicott.

As an example I will discuss Stochastic GW (SGW). The GW technique is known to achieve high accuracy\, with only a 0.1-0.3 eV experiment-theory deviation for affinities and ionization energies. SGW reproduces the results of traditional deterministic GW for small systems\, but also handles very large systems\; as an example\, we easily calculated affinities\, charging energies\, and photoelectron spectroscopy for Si clusters and Si and P platelets with up to 11000 valence electrons\, for clusters with 40 thiophene molecules\, and for periodic systems with very large supercells. These systems are significantly bigger than any calculable in existing approaches\, so that SGW makes a quantum jump in the ability to calculate accurate electronic affinities and potential energies for large molecules. We will specifically discuss recent improvements in the algorithm and implementation which makes SGW superior to traditional techniques already for tetracene\, and reduces experiment-theory deviations to ~0.1eV.\n UID:60135-14840442@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60135 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190124T093800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190129T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professorship Lecture Series - Reflections of a Gene Hunter: The Value of Mouse Genetics in an era of Genomic Medicine DESCRIPTION:Sally A.

Yet\, sometimes our differences can make us feel uncomfortable\, which can challenge our ability to engage with one another in healthy and productive ways. In this presentation\, Creary will share a tool that she has developed from her research on multiple identities and helping at work that is designed to help people build more effective relationships across difference at work. The audience will have the opportunity to use the tool in real-time to create their own positive paths for making one particular work relationship across difference more effective. \n\nAbout Creary:\nStephanie J. Creary\, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Management at The Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania. She is also an affiliated faculty member of Wharton People Analytics and a Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously\, she was on the faculty of Cornell University. Prior to completing her PhD degree at the Boston College School of Management\, she was a research associate at Harvard Business School and The Conference Board in NYC. \n\nCreary’s research investigates how multiple identities\, perspectives\, and experiences are engaged and used in organizations to cultivate positive identities\, improve the quality of relationships across difference\, and promote change that is positive for organizations. She studies these dynamics in a variety of situations and organizational contexts including the development and implementation of corporate diversity and inclusion initiatives\, career progression across demographic groups\, socialization practices\, and health care delivery. \n\nShe has published her research in leading management journals\, co-authored several HBS case studies on leadership and diversity\, written executive action reports on human capital for management audiences\, and has won several research and teaching awards.\n\nHost:\nJane Dutton\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; Robert L.

Additional details will be posted as they are available.\n\nAmanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race\, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations\, paintings\, video\, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar\, and in the process\, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely\, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale\, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago\, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow\, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters &\; Sculptors grantee\, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow\, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.\n\nAndres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist\, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit\, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow\, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art\, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line)\, a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Hernandez is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective\, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Initiative\, and exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago\, IL. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, where he is an Associate Professor.

Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754464@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190130T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190130T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511094@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190130T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190130T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

However\, even in the presence of a dark matter halo\, other galactic-scale observations\, such as the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation and the Radial Acceleration Relation\, remain challenging to explain. This has motivated various models of dark matter as well as long-distance\, infrared (IR) modifications to gravity as an alternative to the dark matter hypothesis. We present a framework to test a general class of such models using local Milky Way observables\, including the vertical acceleration field\, the rotation curve\, the baryonic surface density\, and the stellar disk profile. In this talk I will focus on models that predict scalar amplifications of gravity\, i.e.\, models that increase the magnitude but do not change the direction of the gravitational acceleration. MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) as well as superfluid dark matter are examples. We find that models of this type are in tension with observations of the Milky Way scale radius and bulge mass and that cold non-interacting dark matter provides a better fit to the data. We conclude that models that result in a MOND-like force struggle to simultaneously explain both the rotational velocity and vertical motion of nearby stars in the Milky Way. A future publication will extend this analysis to include other models such as Strongly Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM).

Blood Runs Through It: The Indeterminate World of Loyalty in Japan's Warrior Society DESCRIPTION:How did fighting men\, high and low\, cope with the reality of uncertainty\, especially unpredictable human relations in the age of violence (14-16c)? By defining war beyond the battlefield to a more dynamic “war system\,” we can see how the human anatomy’s most vital liquid\, blood\, became implicated in reorganizing the social and military landscape of the late medieval archipelago. The evolving practice of “keppan\,” or “blood seal\,” applied near or on one’s signature at the end of a document\, promoted a sense of order for the warriors. The practice of keppan spread alongside the discourse of disembowelment\, as did the gendered meaning that blood was acquiring.

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King\, whose legacy we commemorate as a critical figure in the advancement of civil rights and social justice\, is an alumnus of Morehouse College—an MSI. Implicit in Dr. King’s push for righteousness\, peace\, and justice was an immense desire to transform how a nation and ultimately the world engaged with one another. It is in this spirit that we frame this forum and engagement with Minority Serving Institutions—from transactional to transformational/transformative change. Featured speakers will provide a broad overview of the MSI landscape\, share their experiences with developing relationships with MSIs\, and share information on how to do an institutional self-assessment before seeking to partner with MSIs. This session will serve as the first in a series of forums that foster discussion on the socio-historical and contemporary state of MSIs\, insights from U-M units with relationships with MSIs\, and practical information and resources for engaging MSIs.\nPre-registration is required at https://myumi.ch/JgPe8.\nDue to the expectedly low temperatures\, Towards Transformative Change: Institutional Self-assessment and Relationship Building Between U-M and MSIs\, scheduled for January 30 will be rescheduled for another date.

I will discuss devel-opment of high throughput X-ray phase contrast plant imaging and screening using LWFA-based X-ray sources (30 keV-80 keV). This effort is an initiative led by the Global Institute for Food Security at the U of Saskatchewan to establish the correlation between the phenotypic expression of a plant and its adaptation to biotic and abiotic environmental stress. Intense hard X-ray beams (5-50 µJ/shot at 40 keV) are generated by maintaining the laser beam ultra-relativistic self-guiding over long gas jet (cm). I will describe experiments with our new laser facility (up to 7 J in 18 fs at 2.5Hz) and discuss empirical scaling laws correlating the X-ray photon number to the laser and gas jet parameters. High throughput X-ray phase contrast imaging and 3D tomography were realized with average X-ray power (40 keV) of 10 µW-50 µW. We demonstrated seeing very small transparent objects embedded in inhomogeneous and anisotropic thick environment (including soil). Our scaling indicates that with a 1 PW laser a 40 keV X-ray beam with a 1 mJ per shot can be produced and that 1 Gray/shot dose could be achieved in a bio-system.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Jean Claude Kieffer is Professor at INRS since 1990 and fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He was Director of the INRS-EMT Center 2006 to 2011\, and was the Canada Research Chair (Tier I) in ultrafast photonics from 2002 to 2016. He established in 2002 the Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) facility in Varennes (Qc)\, a Canadian National infrastructure. He is currently a member of the board of the Canadian Synchrotron and Science & Technology senior advisor for laser and optics for the President (M. Alain Rousset) of the Aquitaine Region Council (France). He is Vice President of the board of the Aquitaine technology transfer platform Alphanov (France). His research interests include plasma physics\, ultrafast lasers\, high intensity laser-matter interaction\, particle acceleration and ultrafast x-ray sources and their societal applications. He manages the 600 TW short pulse laser (10J\, 18fs) facility at INRS in Varennes. He is exploring the propagation of intense lasers in air for i) energy and wave guiding for homeland security and ii) remote environmental monitoring. He is also developing intense X-ray sources for Global Food Security.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

Coleman\, PhD (Asst. Prof.\, Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology in the Gruss-Lipper Biophotonics Center at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine) will present the following abstract: Years of biochemical experiments have led to the identification of the eukaryotic transcription machinery and a static view of gene regulation. However\, mechanisms controlling the dynamics of transcriptional regulation inside a crowded nucleus remains poorly understood. Recent advances in single molecule imaging have begun to shine light on these mechanisms\, providing an unprecedented dynamic view of transcriptional regulation in live cells. We and others have found that transcription factors form dynamic hubs of activity in select nuclear compartments. I will discuss how formation of these hubs and recognition of genomic targets is regulated by interactions between transcription factors and the histone tails of chromatin. Transcription factors cycle on and off of their chromatin targets within these hubs on the order of seconds that likely reflect dynamic rates of chromatin remodeling\, RNA Polymerase II convoy formation and transcriptional output of a gene. These findings are put into context describing how expression of the p21 cell cycle arrest gene is dynamically regulated by the tumor suppressor p53 protein and chromatin remodelers.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190131T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190131T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190131T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190131T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs. Nagatani presents a narrative of Ryoichi’s archaeological work\, supported by images of excavation sites\, unearthed artifacts\, and Ryoichi’s own journal pages. According to the photographs\, Ryoichi discovered evidence of an automobile culture buried at sites across several continents: Stonehenge\, the Grand Canyon\, and a necropolis in China.

The spacecraft launched in September 2016\, arrived at Bennu in December 2018 and will survey and study the asteroid until attempting to collect a sample in the summer of 2020 and return it to Earth in 2023. What will be learned from studying and sampling one near-Earth Asteroid?\n\nNear-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) are transients that have escaped the Main Asteroid Belt and spend a paltry 10 Myr on planet-crossing orbits before hitting the Sun\, a planet or getting ejected from the Solar System. All of the various taxonomic types of asteroids are represented amongst NEAs\, but due to their chaotic orbits it is not possible to precisely retrace their history and determine where in the Main Asteroid Belt they came from. Furthermore\, km-sized NEAs\, are unlikely to have survived Solar System history intact and are expected to be reaccumulated remnants from a larger disrupted asteroid - they are often referred to as \"rubble piles\". In sum\, any given small NEA comes from an unknown place and has an unknown parent asteroid and history. However\, with Bennu\, ultimately\, returned samples from Bennu should clarify its history and evolution\, and in the meantime its geology can reveal much of its history and shed light on its history in the Main Asteroid Belt.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event\, please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

In Europe alone\, approximately 3 million people are affected by the consequences of spinal cord injury\, stroke and multiple sclerosis\, for a total estimated healthcare cost of 45 billion euros per year. Treatments for these conditions are needed to ease both their growing economic and societal impact. Recent advances in neurotechnologies and brain machine interfaces have prompted promising results in laboratory settings. However\, none of these approaches translated into actual clinical solutions to motor paralysis. Specifically\, the scarce knowledge on the mechanisms of neural control of movement hinder the design of effective neurotechnologies thus limiting their usability for people with severe disabilities. Here I show how I developed a computational and technological framework to understand how damaged neural circuits can adapt to use electrical stimulation inputs for correcting aberrant motor behaviors I then show how I used this knowledge to design and test novel neurotechnologies enhancing motor recovery after paralysis.\n\nMarco Capogrosso\, Ph.D.\, is from the Department of Neurosciences and Movement Sciences at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.

Columbia University Press bought the American rights for the book and appointed an editor to edit my translation. My talk will look at some of the changes the American editor made to my translation. As I discovered\, by comparing the Indian and American version\, the changes are multiple\, and\, from my perspective\, diminish the beauty and the power of this major Dalit text. Comparing the two versions also brings out the sad fact that certain cultural contexts require an open mind that does not rush to judgment when challenged to move out of its ‘comfort zone.’ UID:59242-14719625@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59242 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,India,Lecture,Literature LOCATION:202 S.

Bilal\, ETH Postdoctoral Fellow\, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)\n\nMechanical metamaterials are material systems with tailored\, architected geometry\, designed to retain static and dynamic properties that do not exist or rare in nature. This class of materials usually features a structural pattern that repeats spatially (i.e.\, unit cell). Most of the metamaterials properties are inscribed in the unit cell’s frequency dispersion spectrum\, ranging form its stiffness at zero frequency to its wave attenuation capacity at finite frequencies. These metamaterials are well suited to provide new materials-based advances (through geometry rather than chemical composition) to both structural and acoustical engineering of aerospace vehicles and structures. These advances\, for example\, can range from sound and vibration insulation to flow control. A major challenge in metamaterials design is to engineer unit cells that have the ability to change their mechanical properties in a predetermined manner\, within practical time frames. As a demonstration of principle\, we harness geometric and magnetic nonlinearities to tune the metamaterials’ dispersion characteristics. We program our nonlinear metamaterial to redirect stress waves\, on the fly\, in a reversible and element-wise fashion. \n \nAbout the speaker...\nOsama R. Bilal received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. He is currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Before relocating to Caltech\, he was an ETH postdoctoral fellow in the department of mechanical engineering in ETH Zurich\, Switzerland. His research interest spans the realization of advanced material and structures by design\, autonomous deployment of material systems\, topology optimization\, flow control\, and multifunctional metamaterials. Osama is the recipient of several awards\, including the ARL postdoctoral fellowship (Army)\, ETH postdoctoral fellowship (ETH)\, the Graduate Student Service Award (CU-Boulder)\, the International Student Award (CU-Boulder)\, the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award (CU-Boulder) and the Phononics 2011 Fellowship (National Science Foundation)\, among others.

Hernandez\, \"PRACTICE or Holding Space for ______.\" DESCRIPTION:Due to severe winter weather\, the University of Michigan has declared an emergency reduction in operations beginning 12:00 am Wednesday\, January 30 and extending through 7:00 am Friday\, February 1. All classes and events are cancelled for this period. As such\, the Thursday\, January 31 Penny Stamps Speaker Series Talk with Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez has been postponed. Additional details will be posted as they are available.\n\nAmanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race\, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations\, paintings\, video\, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar\, and in the process\, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely\, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale\, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago\, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow\, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters &\; Sculptors grantee\, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow\, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.\n\nAndres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist\, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit\, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow\, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art\, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line)\, a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Hernandez is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective\, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Initiative\, and exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago\, IL. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, where he is an Associate Professor.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754466@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190124T145629 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Mental Health Write-In DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Sweetland Peer Writing Center in Angell Hall (G219) for the Mental Health Write-in.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511096@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.
