Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784170@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884172@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988479@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200125T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200125T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

Main St\nFree & Open to the Public\n\nCheikh Lô is one of the great mavericks of African music. A superb singer and songwriter as well as a distinctive guitarist\, percussionist and drummer he has personalised and distilled a variety of influences from West and Central Africa\, to create a style that is uniquely his own. Incorporating Senegalese mbalax with elements of salsa\, Zairian/Congolese rhumba\, folk\, and jazz\, Lô has created an infectious\, hook-laden style of pop music. Born in 1955\, to Senegalese parents in Bobo Dioulasso\, Burkina Faso\, not far from the border with Mali\, where he grew up speaking Bambara (language of Mali)\, Wolof (language of Senegal) and French. At 21 he started singing and playing percussion with Orchestra Volta Jazz in Bobo Dioulasso\, and spent much of the 1980s working as a session musician in both Dakar\, Senegal and Paris\, France\, while also developing his own repertoire. In 1995\, Youssou N’Dour helped to produce his second solo record\, and signature sound – a semi acoustic\, Spanish-tinged take on the popular mbalax style – was an instant success in Senegal\, gaining him a dedicated local following and subsequent international success.\n\nCheikh Lô will also perform two sets at the Blue Llama Jazz Club on Saturday\, January 25 (7pm & 9pm). Visit https://www.bluellamaclub.com/event/cheikh-lo for ticket information for these performances.\n\nThis Artist Q&A is co-sponsored by Center for World Performance Studies and African Studies Center.

The film begins with the teenaged Yu Gwan-sun’s arrival at the Seodaemun Prison. Flashbacks tell us of her active participation in the organisation and execution of the March 1st Protests\, one of the earliest instances of Korean public resistance against the Japanese\, where she lost both of her parents and which resulted in the arrest of her elder brother and herself for shouting “Long Live the Korean Independence”. Once at Seodaemun\, she is kept in Cell No.8\, stuffed in with dozens other women in a room that’s barely enough for three or four people at most. Ever the free spirit\, Gwan-sun continues to proclaim that she is free as long as she has free thought and refuses to give in to the demands of the Japanese to confess\, much to the chagrin of the Japanese as well as Korean-origin soldier Nishida.” – RHYTHM ZAVERI\, Asian Movie Pulse\n\nCheck out Asian Movie Pulse’s full review here: https://asianmoviepulse.com/2019/07/film-review-a-resistance-2019-by-jo-min-ho/\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. On this tour\, explore the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors.

His practice makes use of the grid to physically and metaphorically flatten hierarchies and rank to create a new conception of the possibilities for a public square. Washington sees this public space as an ideal \"gathering place\" for activated assembly and inclusive democracy. Historically\, the public square has also been the site of spectacles and public humiliations\; today\, the internet holds out the promise of a level playing field with access for all that also includes space for extreme views and falsehoods.  Please join Mr. Washington and exhibition curator Vera Grant on opening day for a conversation about the role of art\, artists\, and the “hope of abstraction” within our current battles for the public square.\n \nLight refreshments to follow.  \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784171@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884173@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

In this informal gallery talk\, she will respond to the works of Japanese artist Mari Katayama and reflect upon her experiences and political expression as a disability activist. Mari Katayama uses her disabled body as the subject in her provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textiles. Katayama was born with two fingers on one hand and had both of her legs amputated by the age of nine\; she has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and her physicality in the context of contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art.   \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Munich\, Germany\, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury\, and her art collective Dictaphone Group\, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day\, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich. Together they produced three videos\, presented in this installation and viewed from bunk bed barracks in the gallery. \n\n“As Far As My Fingertips Take Me” An intimate\, one-to-one performance piece\, presented in conjunction with UMS.\n\nFriday\, January 24 thru Sunday\, February 2\, performances take place every 15 minutes from 4-9 pm weekdays and 12-5 pm weekends.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator.

She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

Demonstration Effects from PRC Coercion and Its Limits\" DESCRIPTION:Ja Ian Chong will host a talk at the Ford School discussing his research on how China uses economic punishment to elicit desired behavior from other states. A common claim about PRC economic statecraft is that it aims to discourage states from engaging in behavior Beijing finds undesirable by visibly punishing third parties. However\, there is limited evidence about how such third party punishment works\, particularly when states are more or less sensitive to such indirect demonstration effects. This paper seeks to address this question by examining the cases of the United Kingdom\, France\, Malaysia\, and Taiwan. We argue that states with experience of direct punishment tend to be more resistant to demonstrations of punishment toward third parties\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nJa Ian Chong is an Associate Professor of political science at the National University of Singapore. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2008 and previously taught at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His research covers the intersection of international and domestic politics\, with a focus on the externalities of major power competition\, nationalism\, regional order and security\, contentious politics\, and state formation. He works on US-China relations\, security and order in Northeast and Southeast Asia\, cross-strait relations\, and Taiwan politics.\n\nTo read more visit: https://harvard-yenching.org/scholars/chong-ja-ian UID:71816-17888057@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71816 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:China,Chinese Studies,International Affairs,International Economics,International Policy Center LOCATION:Weill Hall (Ford School) - 5240 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191212T081902 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200127T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200127T120000 SUMMARY:Other:Beinecke Scholarship Deadline DESCRIPTION:The Beinecke Scholarship offers $34\,000 for students seeking graduate study in the arts\, humanities and social sciences!

Bailey (UM)\, Katie Genadek (CU-Boulder\, US Census Bureau)\, Jason Lindo (Texas A&M\, NBER\, IZA)\, Vanessa Dalton (UM). \n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.\n\nBIOS:\n\nDr. Bailey's research focuses on issues in labor economics\, demography and health in the United States\, within the longer-run perspective of economic history. Her research has examined the implications of the diffusion of modern contraception for women's childbearing\, career decisions\, and the convergence in the gender gap. Her most recent projects focus on evaluating the shorter and longer-term effects of Great Society programs\, including a recently published book (co-edited with Sheldon Danziger) on the legacies of the War on Poverty. Bailey is an NBER Faculty Research Fellow and in 2007 was an RWJ Health Policy Research Scholar.\n\nDr. Genadek's research is focused on the relationship between work and family and policy impacts on women's labor supply and household labor. She has ongoing work in areas of couples' time spent together\, workplace flexibility\, and women's work in a historical context. She is currently analyzing the effects of the Colorado Family Planning Initiative with a team of scholars in Colorado.\n\nDr. Lindo's recent and ongoing work is especially focused on documenting the effects of changes in access to reproductive healthcare. This work includes an evaluation of the Colorado Family Planning Initiative and an evaluation of the abortion clinic closures precipitated by Texas HB-2\, which were at the center of the US Supreme Court case\, Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt.\n\nDr. Dalton's research interests include family planning and contraception\, access to care\, healthcare utilization\, and human rights. She is Associate Chair of Research in U-M's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\, the director of the Program on Women's Health Care Effectiveness Research (PWHER)\, and Co-Director of the Ryan Residency Training Program.\n\n\n\nMichigan's Population Studies Center\, established in 1961\, has a rich history as an interdisciplinary community of scholars in population research and training.

In turn\, a number of myths continue to be perpetuated by both researchers and practitioners about child and family adjustment following the birth of a baby sibling. I will describe how such theoretical limitations drive research designs and data collection on mother-child dyads and in the end\, make it nearly impossible to find data that can be analyzed to answer this mother's question to help her and other parents. I will present findings from three separate studies outlining our attempts to determine if this is a common belief among women expecting their second child\, if such beliefs are a cause for concern\, and what the outcomes are for babies if mothers are already asking this question before the infant is even born. The first study will present findings from the Family Transitions Study (FTS)\, a longitudinal investigation of 241 mothers and fathers making the transition from one child to two\, to examine how frequently mothers reported having these worries\, whether these worries covaried with other psychological and socio-contextual risks in the family\, and whether such worries expressed during pregnancy predicted mothers' feelings of attachment to the baby after the birth and the security of the infant-mother attachment at the end of the first year. The second study will present findings from a web-based analysis of over 40\,000 blog posts by mothers expecting their second child on the BabyCenter website to determine if this was a common concern discussed by women with other expectant mothers. The final study reports findings from a recent pilot program in which we asked 30 pregnant mothers if they worried about loving both children equally in an effort to replicate findings from the FTS\, and in the end\, to demonstrate how myths can be busted and science can be translated to help families across important developmental transitions.

The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is designed to measure the branching ratio of the K+ → π+vv^- with a decay-in-flight technique. NA62 took data so far in 2016-2018. Statistics collected in 2016 allowed NA62 to reach the Standard Model sensitivity for K+→π+vv^- entering the domain of 10exp(-10) single event sensitivity and showing the proof of principle of the experiment. Thanks to the statistics collected in 2017\, NA62 surpasses the present best sensitivity.

Albats\, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of the Moscow-based “New Times” and a radio host with more than 40 years experience with Soviet\, Russian and international media\, will give a lecture on the rise and fall of the Russian free press over the last 30 years. Despite perestroika and the collapse of the Berlin Wall\, censorship has since returned and the once-famous Russian TV networks have turned back into Soviet-style propaganda machines. The few independent media outlets that remain are struggling to survive in the absence of advertising and financial support\, while under pressure from the omnipotent state.\n \n Dr. Yevgenia M. Albats is a Russian investigative journalist\, political scientist\, author and radio host. Since 2007\, she has served as Political Editor and is now Editor-in-Chief and CEO of “The New Times\,” a Moscow-based\, Russian language independent political weekly. The New Times is digital-only as of June of 2017\, when Russian authorities severed its distribution and sales.\n Since 2004\, Dr. Albats has hosted “Absolute Albats\,” a talk show on “Echo Moskvy\,” the only remaining liberal radio station in Russia. Albats was an Alfred Friendly Press Fellow assigned to the “Chicago Tribune” in 1990\, and a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 1993. She graduated from Moscow State University in 1980\, and received her Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University in 2004. She has been a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) since its founding in 1996.\n Albats taught at Yale from 2003 to 2004 and was a full-time professor at the Moscow-based university The Higher School of Economics\, where she taught institutional theory of the state and bureaucracy until her courses were canceled at the request of top Kremlin officials in 2011. In 2017 Albats was chosen as an inaugural fellow at Kelly’s Writers House and Perry House at the University of Pennsylvania. Albats is the author of four books\, including one on the history of the Russian political police\, the KGB\, whose graduates are running the country today.

June and Angie Provost\, who trace their family line to the enslaved workers on Louisiana’s sugar-cane plantations\, know this story well. \n\nOn today’s episode: The Provosts spoke with Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown\, producers for “1619.”\nPart 2: The Provosts\, a family of sugar-cane farmers in Louisiana\, had worked the same land for generations. When it became harder and harder to keep hold of that land\, June Provost and his wife\, Angie\, didn’t know why — and then a phone call changed their understanding of everything. In the finale of “1619\,” we hear the rest of June and Angie’s story\, and its echoes in a past case that led to the largest civil rights settlement in American history.\n\n\nOn today’s episode: June and Angie Provost\; Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown\, producers for “1619”\; and Khalil Gibran Muhammad\, a professor of history\, race and public policy at Harvard University and the author of “The Condemnation of Blackness.”\n\n“1619” is a New York Times audio series hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones.

Millions of people filled the streets against social inequality. \n\nThis global wave of social struggle swept through the United States\, where 50\,000 autoworkers engaged in the largest auto strike in more than forty years.\n\nThe word “socialism” is gaining popularity\, especially among young people and workers. Billions are opposed to unending war\, unprecedented levels of social inequality\, the rise of fascism and authoritarianism\, environmental degradation and all the consequences of capitalism.\n\nBut does socialism mean working within the same capitalist political parties who are responsible for inequality and war\, as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claim? No. Genuine socialism means mobilizing the strength of billions of workers\, dismantling the militaries\, seizing control of the corporations and reorganizing the world economy to meet social need\, not private profit. \n\nThis meeting will review the state of world politics and outline a program and perspective for the working class to fight back.

Popular media plays on these representations. Missing from this familiar story are the everyday stories of goodness that occur in cities. This presentation draws on interviews with people who live in urban areas\, including highly under-resourced urban areas\, to explore how the human capacity for love\, forgiveness and compassion emerges in everyday life in urban America. I use these stories to explore how we are all transformed by everyday encounters with love and human goodness.\n\nBio: Jacqueline S. Mattis\, Ph.D. is Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of African American and Afri-Caribbean youth and adults\, and on the factors that are associated with positive psychological development of urban residing African Americans and Afri-Caribbeans. In particular\, she explores the factors that contribute to altruism\, compassion\, empathy\, forgiveness and optimism among urban-residing African American people.

Both editions of his book—On Listening to Holocaust Survivors: Recounting and Life History (1998) and the expanded On Listening to Holocaust Survivors: Beyond Testimony (2010)--are considered seminal texts in oral history and Holocaust studies. Along with numerous chapters and journal articles on survivors\, Dr. Greenspan wrote the chapter on survivor testimony for the Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies (2010). He has worked closely with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum since it opened in 1993. He was the museum’s sixth annual Weinmann Lecturer (2000) and co-led the annual Hess seminar for Professors of Holocaust Courses (2011). His interview methodology has been adopted by large oral history projects with genocide survivors—especially in Rwanda and Cambodia. He was the Fulbright Visiting Research Chair at the Centre of Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University in Montreal (2012). Dr. Greenspan continues to mentor\, consult\, and present his research internationally--most recently\, in Jerusalem (2016)\, Berlin (2016)\, New Delhi (2018)\, London (2018)\, Toronto (2018)\, and Montreal (2019).\n\nDr. Greenspan is also a playwright whose “Remnants” was originally produced at WUOM-FM and distributed to NPR stations in 1991. “Remnants” became a stage play that has been performed at more 300 venues worldwide.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

From this historical vantage point\, I draw on ecocritical and settler colonial frameworks to theorize the relationship between immigrant and indigenous populations in the United States as they are produced by relations to land and acts of environmental transformation. I posit environmental transformation as a core element of Japanese American incarceration\, examining the way the War Relocation Authority's agricultural projects rhetorically and materially sought to reclaim the \"frontier\" West for the U.S. (white) settler state. I examine how the stakes of the incarceration shift when it becomes not only an act of racial exclusion and war hysteria\, but also a conscious reiteration of the settler colonial frontier—a frontier which\, in the confines of an incarceration camp\, is quickly denuded of its fantasies of a free West. In turn\, I explore the ways Japanese Americans narrated their own relationship to their camp environments\, imaginatively traversing geologic time\, performing cowboy outlaw\, and confronting the Native erasures that subtend every frontier “success story.” My project’s primary intervention lies in its ecocritical approach to narratives of Japanese American incarceration\, which illuminates the ways that Japanese Americans’ imaginative encounters with their environment express alternative ways of being and belonging in a place. \n\nMy job talk will focus on an alternative orientation I term \"the outerstellar\,\" which is a neologism I borrow from poet Mitsuye Yamada's Desert Run (1988). As I define it\, the outerstellar is a horizon beyond the constellations of settler colonial power\, offering a counter formation to settler colonial paradigms by way of counter-metaphor. In contrast to a frontier ethos that equates environmental transformation with power and agricultural settlement with ownership\, I read Mitsuye Yamada's Desert Run as a display of intimate encounters with desert life that assert an alternative form of immigrant belonging\, wherein the speaker identifies as a privileged guest on Native land\, rather than its master. I argue that the metaphoric outerstellar is grounded in embodied\, material relationships to land and people\, and close by examining the ways this alternative orientation manifests (or fails to) in the contemporary narratives of the Japanese American pilgrimages to Poston and Gila River\, which are organized in partnership with the Colorado River Indian Tribes and Gila River Indian Community.

Munich\, Germany\, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury\, and her art collective Dictaphone Group\, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day\, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich. Together they produced three videos\, presented in this installation and viewed from bunk bed barracks in the gallery. \n\n“As Far As My Fingertips Take Me” An intimate\, one-to-one performance piece\, presented in conjunction with UMS.\n\nFriday\, January 24 thru Sunday\, February 2\, performances take place every 15 minutes from 4-9 pm weekdays and 12-5 pm weekends.
