The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

Her films are brilliant\, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters\, typically women\, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.\n\nSavoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director\, producer\, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Structured around ecological issues\, the exhibition presents photography\, video\, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials\, disasters\, consumption\, loss\, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728372@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190430T125119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190512T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190512T131500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Join a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

The characters in his songs face many challenges—alcoholism\, car wrecks\, racism\, drug addiction\, a mother’s abandonment—but they persevere. Much like Sam himself. In 1986 Sam got in the middle of someone else’s war. When a terrorist bomb exploded in the his train compartment\, he went from being a young\, healthy\, tourist enjoying Peru with friends to a broken man surrounded by death and dying. Given his injuries\, he too should have died. But through a series of miracles and coincidences he survived. With the top of his left hand gone\, it seemed that his formerly skillful hands had been transformed into blocks of wood\, but eventually those hands learned how to play an upside-down guitar. He needed to tell his story. Songs started to come from that upside-down guitar. Before he knew it\, there were CDs\, tours around the world\, an interview with Terry Gross\, and awards in Rolling Stone. A Sam Baker show is a celebration. Some songs tell of everyday people who survive life’s daily challenges\; others are stories of growing up in a small Texas prairie town. All his shows are an acknowledgment and appreciation of the pure joy that comes with people gathering to listen to live music. Sam’s fans travel to see him\, often driving hours to experience the powerful performance. After the show\, they tell Sam their stories. At the end of the day\, all go in peace.

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

In Alzheimer’s Disease specifically\, levels of microtubule associated protein tau and amyloid-beta1-42 in cerebrospinal fluid are becoming reliable pathological indicators. The current gold standard for detecting these biomarkers is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay\, and while this method has a limit of detection on the order of pg mL-1\, it lacks the ability to provide information about aggregation extent and structure on a per-protein basis. From a disease standpoint\, neurological pathologies are often extremely complex in their biological manifestation\, and precise mechanisms for many of these diseases are still being discovered and revised. A thorough understanding of in situ structure and properties of neurological disease-related proteins would likely help clarify some of these complicated mechanisms. Resistive-pulse methods may be useful in this effort\, as they can determine specific biomarker concentrations and can also unveil multiple physical qualities of single proteins or protein aggregates in an aqueous sample. The latter capability is critical and could allow for both earlier diagnoses and a stronger mechanistic understanding of neurological disease progression.\n\nThe work presented in this dissertation\, therefore\, represents broad efforts toward developing a nanopore-based system able to characterize amyloids and protein complexes related to neurodegenerative disease. These efforts range from upstream fabrication and characterization of nanopores in synthetic substrates to downstream techniques for optimizing the accuracy and efficiency of analyses on resistive pulses. Single proteins rotating and translating while tethered to the surface of a nanopore provide rich information during transit through the pore that makes it possible to determine their ellipsoidal shape\, volume\, dipole moment\, charge\, and rotational diffusion coefficient in a time frame of just a few hundred microseconds. This five-dimensional protein fingerprint\, however\, requires chemical modification of each protein and is thus not ideal for studying protein dynamics or transient protein complexes\, both of which are relevant when characterizing amyloids. Transitioning to low-noise nanopore substrates and high-bandwidth recordings enables label-free identification and quantification of unperturbed\, natively-folded proteins and protein complexes in solution – no chemical tags\, tethers\, or fluorescent labels are needed. Such a transition is nontrivial\; proteins passing uninhibited through the strong electric field inside of a nanopore rotate and translocate rapidly\, posing a challenge to time-resolve their various orientations adequately while circumventing adhesion to nanopore walls. Furthermore\, during their translocation through the nanopore\, untethered\, native proteins diffuse laterally\, generating asymmetric disturbances of the electric field and larger-than-expected resistive pulse magnitudes. Known as off-axis effects\, these latter phenomena add a noise-like element to the electrical recordings. We evaluate\, both computationally and experimentally\, the influence of such label-free complications on resulting parameter estimates\, and place these results in the context of developing future iterations of nanopore-based protein sensors.\n\nIn light of the spectacular recent success of nanopore-based nucleic acid sequencing\, it is likely that the next frontier for nanopore-based analysis is the characterization of single proteins and\, in particular\, the characterization of protein aggregates such as amyloids. The experiments and results presented here enable future particle-by-particle analysis of amyloids with nanopores to rapidly reconstruct their heterogeneity in size and shape\, both of which are correlated with the neurotoxicity of amyloid samples and are being investigated as biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease.\n\nCo-Chairs: Michael Mayer and David Sept UID:63458-15710552@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63458 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,Dissertation,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190528T063006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190513T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190513T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Recent Grads!

Ideally\, mobile devices can be used to provide treatment/support whenever needed and to adapt treatment to the context of the user. Just-in-time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) are composed of decision rules that map a user’s context (e.g.\, user's behaviors\, location\, current time\, social activity\, stress and urges to smoke) to a treatment that is delivered to the user via the mobile device in near real-time. Advancements in mobile health engineering and technology (e.g.\, passive stress sensing) continue to bring us closer to being able to provide interventions in this way. However\, a number of important gaps in data science must be addressed before mobile devices can be used to deliver on the promise of JITAIs. First\, there is a need for experimental designs to collect data that can be used to assess the effectiveness of the sequence of treatments delivered by a mobile device on health outcomes in order to support the development of JITAIs. Second\, there is a need for data-driven methods to inform the construction of efficacious JITAIs. In the vast majority of currently deployed JITAIs\, the decision rules underpinning JITAIs are formulated using domain expertise and clinical experience\, with very limited use of data evidence.\n\nIn this dissertation\, we make several contributions by tackling the above mentioned data science barriers to effective JITAI development in mobile health. First\, we propose a micro-randomized trial (MRT) design and develop the primary analysis for assessing the proximal causal effect of treatments. In addition\, we develop stratified micro-randomized trials for the setting where there is a time-varying\, discrete variable and the primary analysis focuses on how the effectiveness of interventions changes with this variable. We also develop a novel algorithm to design randomization scheme for this setting when there is an average constraint on the number of times interventions that should be sent in a certain time interval. Second\, we develop a semi-parametric model to estimate the long-term average of health outcomes that would accrue should a given JITAI be followed. We derive asymptotic theory for the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. Third\, we develop an online learning algorithm that continuously learns and improves the JITAI as the data is collected from the user. The proposed algorithm introduces a proxy of future outcomes based on a dosage variable to capture the delayed effect of sending the interventions due to the treatment burden.

In underground experiments such as LZ we search for DM directly using lowest possible energy thresholds\, at the LHC we seek to produce dark matter at the very highest energies\, and using telescopes we look for telltale signatures in the cosmos. All these detection methods probe different parts of the possible parameters space with complementary strengths. I will present current DM searches\, their connection and how an interdisciplinary program bridging different experimental frontiers can achieve optimal sensitivity. Finally\, I will highlight recent theoretical and experimental developments and the near term discovery prospects in upcoming experiments.

Ballard is an author and award-winning Professor of Economics at Michigan State University. He has been a consultant to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\, the U.S. Department of Agriculture\, and numerous other government agencies and research institutions\, both in the United States and abroad. He has received a number of National Science Foundation grants and outstanding teaching awards.\n\nIncome inequality in the United States decreased dramatically between 1928 and 1944. This “Great Convergence” was driven primarily by changes in public policies. Many of these relatively egalitarian policies were reduced or reversed in the 1970s and 1980s. Largely as a result of these policy reversals\, income inequality has increased dramatically during the “Great Divergence” of the last 40 years. Professor Ballard will discuss the economics and politics behind these changes.\n\nThis is the ninth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2018-19. A total of ten lectures will be presented covering a variety of topics. The next lecture will be June 11\, 2019. The topic will be: The Constitution at the Border: When Immigration Policy and Constitutional Norms Clash.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake.

The balance of these effects leads to a transversely confined\, high intensity structure called a filament that can persist for long distances. The self-focusing effect is counterbalanced by ionization of the air\, and the resulting plasma channel has many interesting and poorly understood properties. One of these is the ability of the plasma to generate and radiate short pulses of microwaves.\nMicrowave frequencies lie in the range of 1-300 GHz. Radiation of this type from plasmas generated by laser filamentation has not been studied closely before. The nanosecond timescale of the current density variation which causes the observed emission is much slower than that of known charged particle motions in the plasma. The experiments described in the dissertation make substantial progress toward explaining the microwave generation mechanism. They show that large scale longitudinal changes in the current density on the order of the plasma size are reflected in the frequency spectrum of the radiation.\nThe frequency range of the short-duration microwave pulses is large enough that it was necessary to develop a new measurement technique in order to characterize their frequency spectrum. It relies on absolute calibration of a microwave receiver over many adjacent frequency bands\, so that measurements made in each band can be presented as a continuous spectrum. It is then applied to several laser produced plasmas in atmosphere over a frequency range of 2-70 GHz.\nThe dependence of the microwave radiation on the electron-neutral collision rate is investigated by changing the air pressure. Its dependence on the average electron energy is examined by comparing the radiation resulting from air plasmas generated at different laser wavelengths in the mid-infrared versus the near-infrared. The plasma due to a laser pulse composed the fundamental wavelength and its second harmonic is shown to enhance or suppress the microwave radiation depending on the relative phase of the laser harmonics. Finally\, the microwave field strength can be optimized by iteratively changing the transverse laser intensity profile in the focal region using a deformable mirror whose shape is controlled with a genetic algorithm.\nThe sensitivity of the microwave radiation to the conditions of the laser-plasma interaction indicates that it might be employed as new non- perturbing diagnostic for filament plasmas. This has been a longstanding challenge in the field\, because plasmas resulting from filamentation are relatively diffuse\, cold\, and typically have submillimeter diameters. Determination of the low electron densities and temperatures by conventional means is typically intractable. The microwave measurements may contribute a solution that would enable a deeper understanding of the evolution of the filament plasma.

A major challenge to progress in our field is the striking cellular and structural heterogeneity of the tissues in our bodies\, which can be hierarchical\, graded\, and heterogeneous over multiple length and time scales. Prof. Harley’s research program is developing approaches to pattern biomaterials at the structural and biomolecular levels to replicate these heterogeneities in order to instruct desired cell behaviors. These efforts seek to provide new insight regarding the degree of biomaterial complexity required to investigate processes related to development\, disease\, and regeneration. I will describe a collagen biomaterial under development to address barriers preventing regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues such as orthopedic insertions and craniomaxillofacial bones. Here we are using bioinspired design motifs to create composite biomaterials able to improve cell bioactivity and mechanical competence in order to address mechanistic and translational challenges. I will subsequently describe development of a gelatin hydrogel system as well as microfluidic forming techniques to create libraries of optically-translucent hydrogels containing overlapping patterns of cell\, matrix\, and biomolecule cues. We are using this platform to explore the coordinated impact of structural\, biomolecular\, and metabolic cues on niche-mediated regulation of hematopoietic stem cell fate as well as invasion and therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma\, the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. I will highlight work that employs these platforms to regulate processes such as self-renewal vs. quiescence\; signaling and remodeling of artificial perivascular environments\; as well as invasion and therapeutic resistance.\n\nBrendan Harley\, Sc.D. \nDept. of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering\nCarl R.

These networks share the same set of labeled nodes corresponding to a fixed atlas of the brain\, while each subject’s network has their own edge weights. This thesis focuses on developing statistical tools for analyzing samples of weighted networks with applications to neuroimaging. \n\nWe first propose a method for modeling such brain networks via linear mixed effects models\, which takes advantage of the community structure\, or functional regions\, known to be present in the brain. The model allows for comparing two populations\, such as patients and healthy controls\, globally\, at functional systems level\, and at individual edge level\, with systems-level inference in particular allowing for a biologically meaningful interpretation. We incorporate correlation between edge weights into the model by allowing for a general variance structure\, and show this leads to much more accurate inference. A thorough study comparing schizophrenics to healthy controls illustrates the full potential of our methods\, and obtains results consistent with the medical literature on schizophrenia. \n\nWhile we focus on networks as the main object of analysis\, auxillary information about subjects is frequently available. The subject’s age is a particularly important covariance\, since studying how the brain changes over time can lead to insights about brain development in children and adolescents and the effects of aging for older subjects. A typical neuroimaging study\, however\, is cross-sectional rather than longitudinal\, meaning we measure subjects of many different ages\, but only once. We developed two methods for analyzing such samples of multiple\, time-stamped networks. One is a parametric approach utilizing a linear mixed effects model with age included as a covariate\; the other one is a nonparametric method which can be viewed as a network version of principal component analysis\, where we look for components that explain age-related trends and vary smoothly with age. Both approaches take network community structure into account and allow for concise and interpretable representation of the data by obtaining developmental curves for functional regions of the brain that vary smoothly with age. We apply the methods to fMRI data of subjects who are 8 to 22 years old\, and extract developmental curves consistent with the current understanding of brain maturation in neuroscience.\n\nClustering is of special interest in neuroimaging studies of mental illness\, because psychiatrists believe that many psychiatric conditions present in multiple distinct and not yet identified subtypes. Clustering brain connectivity networks of patients with a certain disorder can lead to discovering these subtypes\, and ideally identifying the differences in connectivity patterns that distinguish between subtypes. Clustering with a large number of features is challenging in itself\, and the network nature of the observations presents additional difficulties. Our goal is to develop a clustering method that respects the network nature of the data\, allows for feature selection\, and scales well to high dimensions. One general method for clustering and feature selection in high dimensions is sparse K-means\, which performs feature selection by minimizing the K-means objective function plus a lasso penalty. Here we develop network-aware sparse K-means\, using a network-induced penalty for simultaneously clustering weighted networks and performing feature selection. We also develop a Gaussian mixture model version of the algorithm\, particularly useful when features are highly correlated\, which is the case in neuroimaging. We illustrate the method on simulated networks and an fMRI dataset of youth.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Wang’s projects are usually located in China\, but while visiting southeast Michigan he was struck by the similarities between the effects of inequitable real estate development on local communities in Detroit\, Highland Park\, and his native Beijing. His large-scale photograph\, set in an abandoned factory building in Highland Park and featuring more than seventy volunteers\, collapses two moments in history to present a vivid reminder of the human consequences of the ruthless pursuit of profit and the power of collective action. The exhibition includes works created in collaboration with area residents that give voice to their concerns and their hopes for transformation and renewal.\n \nThis project\, which bridges between Detroit\, Michigan\, and Beijing\, China\, resonates with UMMA's mission to engage in conversation about local and global issues. UMMA is pleased to present this art project in which the participation of UM faculty members\, students\, and Detroit's community members has been critical.\n \n Watch the Chinese Contemporary Art: Curation\, Collection\, and Connection Symposium here.\n\nLead support for Wang Qingsong/Detroit/Beijing is provided by the E.

The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W.

The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

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

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.

Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Wang’s projects are usually located in China\, but while visiting southeast Michigan he was struck by the similarities between the effects of inequitable real estate development on local communities in Detroit\, Highland Park\, and his native Beijing. His large-scale photograph\, set in an abandoned factory building in Highland Park and featuring more than seventy volunteers\, collapses two moments in history to present a vivid reminder of the human consequences of the ruthless pursuit of profit and the power of collective action. The exhibition includes works created in collaboration with area residents that give voice to their concerns and their hopes for transformation and renewal.\n \nThis project\, which bridges between Detroit\, Michigan\, and Beijing\, China\, resonates with UMMA's mission to engage in conversation about local and global issues. UMMA is pleased to present this art project in which the participation of UM faculty members\, students\, and Detroit's community members has been critical.\n \n Watch the Chinese Contemporary Art: Curation\, Collection\, and Connection Symposium here.\n\nLead support for Wang Qingsong/Detroit/Beijing is provided by the E.

This Landau quantization is generally absent in insulators. Here we report a notable exception in an insulator — ytterbium dodecaboride (YbB12). The resistivity of YbB12exhibits distinct quantum oscillations despite having a much larger magnitude than in metals [1]. This unconventional oscillation is shown to arise from the insulating bulk\, even though the temperature dependence of the oscillation amplitude follows the conventional Fermi liquid theory of metals. The large effective masses indicate the presence of a Fermi surface consisting of strongly correlated electrons. Quantum oscillations are also observed in the magnetization of YbB12 [1]. Our result reveals a mysterious dual nature of the ground state in YbB12: it is both a charge insulator and a strongly correlated metal.\n\n[1] Z. xiang et al.\, Science 362\, 65 (2018).

It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

During a 23-year career with the Clements\, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps\, head of research and publications\, associate director\, and acting director.

This valedictory exhibit in the Clements’s soaring Avenir Foundation Reading Room dwells on seven areas of commitment and illustrates the concepts with some of the Library's most evocative and handsome holdings.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.

Wang’s projects are usually located in China\, but while visiting southeast Michigan he was struck by the similarities between the effects of inequitable real estate development on local communities in Detroit\, Highland Park\, and his native Beijing. His large-scale photograph\, set in an abandoned factory building in Highland Park and featuring more than seventy volunteers\, collapses two moments in history to present a vivid reminder of the human consequences of the ruthless pursuit of profit and the power of collective action. The exhibition includes works created in collaboration with area residents that give voice to their concerns and their hopes for transformation and renewal.\n \nThis project\, which bridges between Detroit\, Michigan\, and Beijing\, China\, resonates with UMMA's mission to engage in conversation about local and global issues. UMMA is pleased to present this art project in which the participation of UM faculty members\, students\, and Detroit's community members has been critical.\n \n Watch the Chinese Contemporary Art: Curation\, Collection\, and Connection Symposium here.\n\nLead support for Wang Qingsong/Detroit/Beijing is provided by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan\, the University of Michigan Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Herbert W. and  Susan L.

Our goal remains to keep scientists well-informed about important developments within and also beyond their own fields of research\, and to encourage collaborative thinking. This talk will discuss how the staff at Science engages the research community all over the world to determine which papers to publish\, and also how we envision maintaining and enhancing our value to the community in the rapidly evolving publication landscape. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJake Yeston (Science) UID:63182-15587256@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63182 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190614T140151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190517T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190517T140000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

Sodano\, Chair \nProfessor Daniel J. Inman \nAssociate Professor Veera Sundararaghavan\nAssistant Professor John Huron\n\nEvent Information:\nFriday\, May 17th 3:00 PM\nGeneral Motors Conference Hall\, Lurie Engineering Center\n\nPiezoelectric materials are currently among the most promising building blocks for sensing\, actuation and energy harvesting systems. However\, these materials are limited in many applications due to their lack of machinability as well as their inability to conform to curved surfaces. One method to mitigate this issue is through additive manufacturing (direct printing) of piezoelectric nanocomposites\, where piezoelectric nanomaterials are embedded in a polymer matrix. With the advent of additive manufacturing it is now possible to realize 3D print nanocomposites with tailored microstructure. \nA primary objective of this study is to develop and experimentally validate micromechanical and finite element models that allow the study of the electroelastic properties of a 3D printed nanocomposite containing piezoelectric inclusions. Furthermore\, the dependence of these properties on geometrical features such as aspect ratio and active phase alignment are investigated. This dissertation presents a novel approach for harvesting ambient mechanical energy at extreme environments. Many miniature electronic sensors and actuators in aerospace applications risk breakdown due to their operation in extreme temperature conditions\, as cooling and protecting them prove to be challenging due to space and weight limitations. Therefore\, as a second objective of this investigation\, a flexible energy harvester capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (< 250 °C) is developed using a 3D printing approach that can provide useful electrical energy from ambient vibrations. The research presented in this dissertation can provide a robust tool for the analysis and design of two phase piezoelectric nanocomposite energy harvesters able to operate under a spectrum of conditions ranging from ambient to extreme temperatures.
