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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696942@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

But what does it mean to be in-between? This workshop will examine the liminality—both as a theme and as a quality—in and of Armenian literature.\n\nRather than locating Armenia as a distinct interstice between otherwise ontologically stable powers\, places\, and ways of being\, this workshop seeks to grapple with how liminality in Armenian literature might unsettle binary divisions of many kinds--between self and other\, center and periphery\, urban and rural\, modern and premodern\, native and foreign\, and even Armenian and “Odar.” How has liminality—geographic\, literary\, linguistic\, temporal—shaped Armenian cultural production? How might we read it? And how might it shape the ways in which we approach Armenian literature as our object of study?\n\nPhoto caption: Church of the Holy Redeemer- Ani/Kars | Photo credit: Gokhan Toka\, Nov. 2011 UID:42103-9550247@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42103 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Literature LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 455 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170911T104401 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sacred Plants - Holiday Conservatory Exhibit at Matthaei DESCRIPTION:Focusing on plants in the conservatory collection at Matthaei Botanical Gardens\,Sacred Plants explores how these plants figure in myth\, lore\, and ritual for cultures around the world.

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

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

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

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Lui is a Policy Fellow at UC Riverside.\n\nLui's passion for politics started in the 70s\, when he debated California's controversial Proposition 13 on bus rides to school. His interest turned into a job at the age of 19: campaign manager for San Francisco College Board incumbent Alan Wong. After the election\, Lui returned to college. His plan was to write on policy and the affairs of state\, subscribing to the Washington Post when it had to be mailed to the west coast.\n\nIn the 1990s\, Lui reported for news radio KALX during a unique time in California politics. Two of his first stories as a journalist were Dianne Feinstein's first successful U.S. Senate campaign and the Rodney King verdict and riots.\n\nLater in the 2000s\, Lui reported from Asia during an increasingly heated political climate. Two Muslim countries in Southeast Asia transformed: Indonesia's Sukarno family was defeated after rule spanning over half a century\; and Malaysia's prime minister\, after almost a quarter of a century handed over power.

Those changes have created new challenges\, but also profound opportunities\, for museums at a time when environments and associated biodiversity are being rapidly reshaped. What role will museums play in understanding these changes?\n**This is a brown bag lunch event UID:47235-10824775@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47235 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lecture,Museum - Herbarium,Museum - Zoology LOCATION:Research Museums Center - 1006 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170919T193449 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Museum Studies Program - Museums at Noon DESCRIPTION:The presenter will share his experience designing the concept of a digital exhibit at the Institute of History of Nicaragua and Central America and how this project feeds into larger conversations about the contributions of digital technologies to the museum mission.

Professor Robert Najarian DESCRIPTION:Robert Najarian is an actor\, instructor\, fight director\, and author hailing from the East Coast. As a performer\, Najarian has been seen in more than 40 productions in cities such as New York\, Chicago\, Washington\, and Boston with such companies as The American Repertory Theatre\, Washington National Opera\, and NYC’s Punchdrunk\, where he was an original cast member of the critically acclaimed show Sleep No More. The class will be an extension of previous mod labs starting with a brief overview of partnering concepts leading into group dynamics focusing on ocular focus and kinesthetic response.\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

Prolonged periods of time are spent mostly seated behind the desk. This prolonged sitting is associated with significantly increased risks of morbidity and mortality. There is increasing awareness of the occupational health dangers of prolonged sitting and the need for interventions is being recognized. One approach to reduce sitting time is by performing deskwork while standing behind height-adjustable sit-stand desks. In this presentation I will review the literature on the health risks of sitting and the health benefits of standing. In addition\, I will present some preliminary data from our own standing studies. \n\nBio: Martijn Muller is a Research Assistant Professor in Radiology at the University of Michigan. His interest areas include neuroimaging of motor control\, falls and fall prevention\, cognition\, aging and Parkinson disease\, depression\, and biomechanics.

The studio class serves as a playground in which the performers find their own voices and create portmanteau pieces at the end of the semester. The styles might usually be referred to as Performance Art or Live Art. In the first half of the semester the students are led through weekly exercises or mini projects\, creating small pieces driven by prompts from Professor Tulip. In the second half the students form small companies each of which are responsible for a 15 minute (and 22 seconds) performance window. There are no restrictions beyond no damage to the building\, its fixtures and fittings or to other performers and the audience. Two of this year's pieces are in performance studios\, the other two are in non-performance spaces.\n\n\"Behind Closed Doors\"\nBasement –various rooms\nNyah Pierson  (T&D)\nWilson Plonk\, (MT)\nJ D Benison (LSA)\nEmily Goodrich (BTA/PAME)\nHull\,Jonathan   (T&D)\n\n\"Bread\"\nStudio 2\nAmanda Kuo (T&D)\nMason Reeves (MT)\nClaire Zimmeth (Interarts)\nSpencer Haney  (PAT)\nGian Perez  (T&D)\n \n\"Office Hours\"\nD&P Classroom\nFee Christoph (Interarts)\nCamille Johnson (Interarts)\nLuby Lu (PhD Candidate Mathematics)\n \n\"Why Not\"\nActing for the Camera Studio\nShaunie Lewis  (T&D)\nGian Perez  (T&D) UID:47247-10827548@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47247 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,North campus,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171204T114915 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171208T150000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE285 Undergraduate Seminar: Beam Me Down\, Scotty: JPL’s First Spaceborne Optical Comm Experiment DESCRIPTION:Bogdan Oaida (BSAE ‘08)\, Jet Propulsion Laboratory\n\nAt a place where one-of-a-kind spacecraft is the name of the game\, OPALS has amassed a lengthy list of firsts given its small size and scope. From its implementation as a Phaeton project to its unconventional thermal design to numerous launch delays\, OPALS has sometimes defied and other times defined a new class of JPL projects. Launched in April 2014 on the third SpaceX ISS resupply mission\, OPALS operated aboard the Station for nearly 3 years\, during which it transmits JPL’s first data stream via an optical link from space to ground\, downlinked to one US and three international optical ground stations\, and characterized the local vibration environment. \n\nTold from the “hindsight is 20-20” perspective\, the talk will discuss what made OPALS a success while also taking a look at a number of the mistakes that have led to cost overruns and numerous postponements. Also covered will be the interface with the ISS\, the experience with SpaceX\, and results from operations.\n \nAbout the speaker\n\nBogdan Oaida was the OPALS Project Systems Engineer from the time the project was conceived in 2009\, through the prime mission and extended operations until OPALS was deorbited on SpaceX CRS 10 in March of 2017. He was the longest-tenured team member. He received a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering in 2007 and M.Eng in Space Engineering in 2008\, both from The University of Michigan. Bogdan has also worked on a number of Earth-sensing mission concepts and proposals. Since 2014 he has been a Payload Systems Engineer for the Europa Clipper Mission where he serves as the technical interface between the Clipper Project and two of the instrument teams\, the Mapping Imaging Spectrometer for Europa (MISE) and the SUrface Dust Analyzer (SUDA).

Lifelong sclerostin deficiency or loss of function\, such as that observed in patients with Sclerosteosis or Van Buchem disease\, is associated with patterns of excessive bone growth\, resulting in cranial compression and facial palsy associated with nerve impingement. The cranial effects of pharmacologic sclerostin inhibition during periods of rapid growth and development have not yet been described. However\, the effect of morphological changes due to SclAb has significant implications in determining the efficacy of utilizing SclAb for a treatment.\n\nTo determine whether SclAb induces morphologic changes in the cranium that could reflect patterns associated with lifelong sclerostin deficiency\, dimensional and volumetric measurements in the skulls of growing OI mice treated with SclAb were obtained through micro-computed tomography. Results indicate that SclAb demonstrates site-specific action in the crania. Anticipated gains in calvarial thickness were observed\, while treatment-induced narrowing of cranial foramen was found at some sites\, but not others. Despite this\, no overt phenotypic changes in animal behavior\, or symptoms associated with nerve compression were noted in this high-dose\, long-duration experiment. These findings suggest that differences in foramen function of the sites measured here may dictate local susceptibility to SclAb-induced narrowing.

In general\, a single partonic operator already matches onto several nonrelativistic operators at leading order in chiral counting. Thus\, keeping only one operator at the time in the nonrelativistic effective theory does not properly describe the scattering in direct detection. Moreover\, the matching of the axial--axial partonic level operator\, as well as the matching of the operators coupling DM to the QCD anomaly term\, naively include momentum suppressed terms. However\, these are still of leading chiral order due to pion poles and can be numerically important. I will illustrate the impact of these effects with several examples. Finally\, I will comment about the importance of renormalization group running in direct dark matter detection.

There is a moral ought\, there is a prudential ought\, etc. Furthermore\, it is natural to think that each ought is such that one ought to do the best thing one could do\, where the sense of best at issue varies with the kind of ought it is. Thus\, it is natural to think: morally\, a person ought to do the morally best thing she could do\; and prudentially\, a person ought to do the prudentially best thing she could do. One might also express these thoughts by saying: morality recommends that one do the morally best thing one could do\; and prudence recommends that one do the prudentially best thing one could do.\n\nThese natural thoughts suggest the further thought that the moral ought and the prudential ought often conflict\, and thus that often\, morally\, one ought to do something although\, prudentially\, one ought to refrain from doing it. \n\nWhile these thoughts are natural\, and they express a commonly-held view\, I will argue that these thoughts are wrong. My modest aim is to show that there is an alternative view to the view I describe above. My more ambitious aim is to show that my alternative view is correct. Once the two views are contrasted\, I think it will be clear that although the commonly-held view is indeed common\, it is not supported by or warranted by ordinary moral thinking or ordinarily-recognized moral phenomena\, and we do better at capturing moral reality – and normative reality more broadly – by jettisoning the common view in favor of the alternative view I outline. \n\nThe alternative view denies all the natural thoughts above. It holds that there is no distinctively moral ought\, though there are some ought facts that are distinctively moral. Similarly\, there is no distinctively prudential ought\, though there are some ought facts that are distinctively prudential. Finally\, the alternative view holds that distinctively moral ought claims never conflict with distinctively prudential ought claims: it is never the case that\, morally\, one ought to do something\, while prudentially\, one ought to refrain.

The main result of the paper is that the optimal information acquisition strategy is a two-threshold policy and\, consequently\, the equilibrium contract specifies two possible wages for the Agent.

Prof. Veera Sundararaghavan\n\nIn this dissertation\, we develop numerical and analytical models to primarily predict microstructural effects on fatigue crack growth and subsequent long crack growth behavior. In the macro-scale\, the new contribution is a variational multiscale cohesive method (VMCM) to determine the fatigue crack growth rates in the long crack growth regime. The calibration of the macro-scale VMCM cohesive parameters\, which represent the crack tip mechanics\, is addressed with the development of a linear elastic fracture mechanics-based irreversible cohesive model. In the micro-scale\, we develop a VMCM approach that incorporates local microstucture and predicts the microstructurally short crack growth paths through slip planes that are in multiple grains and across grain boundaries. To calibrate the cohesive parameters\, a dislocation theory-based cohesive model is employed that efficiently predicts the microstructurally short fatigue crack growth rates through multiple grains. The last chapter extends a three-dimensional microstructurally short fatigue crack growth model in order to better understand the sub-surface crack interactions with multiple grain boundaries. This method is utilized to model two cases of microstructurally short fatigue crack-grain boundary interactions in magnesium WE43 alloy. Thus\, the tools developed in this dissertation aid in improving our understanding of the multiscale fatigue response.\n\n\nPublications\n\nJournals \n\nPanwar\, S. and V. Sundararaghavan.

These missions have become\nincreasingly intertwined with issues of US and international politics\, including: environmental\nawareness and custodianship\, cultural heritage and ownership\, and the increasingly complex\nuses and potentials of technology and information science.\nAs archaeology at the University of Michigan moves into its third century of existence\, this wide-\nranging conference offers the opportunity to reflect on the past achievements as well as the\nshortcomings of archaeological museums at the University of Michigan along with the research\ncurrently being undertaken by our students and faculty both within the museums themselves\nand out in the field. Finally\, contributions concerning possible visions of the future of\narchaeological museums\, whether dealing with technology\, display\, or the objects and spaces\nthemselves\, offers a glimpse into what the next century of archaeology at Michigan may look\nlike.\nGraduate students from any field that interacts with archaeological materials and museums are\ninvited to give 10-15 minute papers\, while undergraduates are invited to present posters based\non their current projects.  Suggested topics include\, but are not limited to:\n The future role of archaeological museums\n Archaeological museums and local communities\n The present and future of technology and archaeology\n Connections between current fieldwork and museums\n The analysis and preservation of current archaeological collections\n Archaeological museums and the academic environment\n The history of Michigan archaeology\n The future of archaeological display\n Ethical concerns in the present and future of archaeological museums\nPlease submit a 300-word abstract for your paper or poster to cawofmichigan@umich.edu\nby xxxxxxxx.

In doing so\, they forged a “hybridity of identity.” Most notable of these is Lou Harrison\, a true “American Musical Maverick\,” who would have turned 100 this year. Featuring a large cross-section of Harrison's works\, the Percussion Ensemble will also focus on both “canonic” and “newer” composers\, almost all of whom have looked beyond their own homelands toward rhythms and techniques from foreign lands\, including the other Americas\, the Middle East\, Asia\, and Africa\, which they then married to their own ‘new’ traditions. There is a strong element of ‘tradition and innovation’ throughout the works.

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696943@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171209T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171209T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

Most of these need to be replaced every couple of months\, weeks\, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in\, out\, and around the cell\, and into new cells? How do cells know when to divide and when to stop?

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

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

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work.

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

A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696944@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171210T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171210T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M.

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

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Please include date and title of program in the subject line of your email.\n\nJoin UMMA’s Assistant Curator of Western Art\, Lehti Mairike Keelmann for an exploration into the drawing practices of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (France\, 1869-1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (United States\, 1923-2015). While both artists are known for their emblematic and impactful use of color\, Matisse and Kelly recognized the importance of harnessing line to capture the world around them and considered drawing to be foundational to their work. This talk invites viewers to engage with the draftsmanship of these two artists\, and in the spirit of Kelly who curated the exhibition\, to immerse oneself into the act of seeing one artist through the eyes of another. When explored in dialogue\, Matisse’s spirited\, lyrical line and Kelly’s controlled\, assertive line take on new meaning.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. \n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

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

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

The extent to which the characteristics and experiences of adolescence and the transition to adulthood make a difference on adult health and well-being\, over and above the effects of childhood\, is more assumed than empirically known. Because of continuities and discontinuities across the life course\, some experiences and periods in life are more consequential than others\; to advance our science and provide convincing evidence for social policy we need to know the long-term consequential characteristics and experiences of adolescence and the transition to adulthood. To this end\, I present findings and conceptualizations regarding substance use across adolescence and adulthood to illustrate issues of continuity and discontinuity\, heterogeneity in the course\, risk factors\, and consequences of substance use\, and the power of developmental transitions on the course of health and well-being.\n \nBio: John Schulenberg is Professor\, Department of Psychology\, and Research Professor\, Institute for Social Research\, University of Michigan. He has published widely on several topics concerning adolescence and the transition to adulthood. As PI of the NIDA-funded U.S. national Monitoring the Future Follow-up Study on the epidemiology and etiology of substance use from adolescence through adulthood\, he brings a developmental perspective to the understanding of individual and contextual risk factors\, course\, co-morbidity\, consequences\, and historical variation of substance use. Over the years\, he has collaborated on several international interdisciplinary projects involving long-term studies to address key questions about life course pathways and connections. His work has been funded by NIAAA\, NICHD\, NIDA\, NIMH\, NSF\, RWJF\, Spencer\, and WT Grant. For these and other institutes and foundations\, he has served on numerous advisory and review committees\, including chairing the NIH Psychosocial Development and Risk Prevention Study Section. He was a member of the Institute of Medicine/National Research Council’s consensus committee on Health and Well-Being during the Transition to Adulthood that recently published Investing in the health and well-being of young adults. He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and Past President of the Society for Research on Adolescence. John coached youth community and travel baseball teams for 14 years.

I will describe the scientific context in which DUNE sits\, talk about several aspects of technology development for DUNE including work toward efficient detection of scintillation photons in large-volume LArTPC's\, and summarize the status and outlook for DUNE.\n UID:47067-10782623@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47067 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170830T141011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171211T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171211T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Dissonant Infrastructures: Tensions between Science and Public Health Embedded in Sickle Cell Disease in Salvador\, Bahia\, Brazil DESCRIPTION:Epistemic authority for knowledge production about sickle cell disease (SCD) in Brazil lay mostly at the feet of elite scientists associated with established institutions. These gatekeepers often focus on the biological and medical processes that take place within the body. SCD activists embedded in the public health infrastructure in Salvador\, discursively deem the interest from scientists to be based in a paradigm that treats the person living with SCD as a commodity to clinical science. What occurs when social infrastructures that “emphasize the durability and permanence of social systems within which biomedical knowledge production and labor occur\,” (Dent\, 2016) are at odds with each other? What takes place when the social milieu of place erodes these infrastructures? This presentation will explore the ways in which activists in the municipal public health department for Salvador circumvent modes of elite knowledge production and reconfigure how SCD is defined by situating the discourse from “inside the body” to “outside” and from biological to cultural.

Underlying the prediction problem is the fact that disease processes\, and the human hosts in which they occur\, represent complex dynamical systems comprised of large numbers of components that interact in non-linear ways over time. A key insight from complexity science is that accurate long-term prediction in such systems is usually not feasible\, but short-term predictions can be successful if multi-parameter\, highly time-resolved data can be collected and integrated using computational methods. Complex science indicates that prediction of disease needs to be done on an ongoing basis\, in near \"real-time\"\, because complex dynamical processes tend to proceed non-linearly. There are \"windows of opportunity\" when signal begins to exceed background noise and the disease process is early enough for intervention to be successful. Please join Dr. Choi as she discusses how she and her collaborators\, including Dr. Wiens (Computer Science/Machine Learning)\, Dr. Tewari (Medical Oncology)\, Dr. Kurabayashi (Mechanical Engineering)\, and Dr. Li (Computational Biology) are using the blood and marrow transplantation setting as an ideal model system to prototype such an approach for disease prediction that is consistent with the highly complex nature of human disease. \n\nSung Won Choi MD MS trained as a pediatric resident at New York University and later as a fellow in pediatric hematology-oncology at the University of Michigan. Through an NIH K23 award\, Sung received additional training in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis through the University of Michigan School of Public Health. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics\, and in 2017\, she was named the inaugural Edith S. Briskin / Shirley K Schlafer Research Professor of Pediatrics. Sung specializes in the field of blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) and is recognized for her work in translating the use of histone deacetylase inhibition in BMT patients for prevention of a devastating complication known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). She enjoys translational research initiatives that include the use of novel\, non-steroidal therapeutics both in the prevention and treatment of GVHD. Her research efforts focus on: 1) providing an improved understanding of clinical BMT through translation of experimental studies 2) exploring clinical outcomes in BMT patients alongside laboratory correlates\; and 3) leveraging novel tools\, such as information technology\, to support patient- and caregiver-centered care in her clinical and translational research efforts in BMT.\n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu UID:47332-10868994@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47332 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1123 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170830T145042 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171211T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171211T180000 SUMMARY:Presentation:PitE Information Session DESCRIPTION:PitE will be holding an information session for any students who are currently undeclared.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.
