This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

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. Cox.\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.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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 last year of King's life marked a distinctive period in his career as he allied himself with a broad array of initiatives linking civil rights with antiwar\, labor\, and antipoverty campaigns. This panel will consider the legacy of that year\, stretching from the social justice movements of the late 1960s to causes today such as Black Lives Matter\, immigrant rights\, and attempts to reverse the growing gap of socioeconomic inequality.\n\nFeaturing:\nRuth Feldstein\, Rutgers University-Newark\nMonica Muñoz Martinez\, Brown University\nBrenda Tindal\, Detroit Historical Society\n\nRuth Feldstein is professor of history and American studies at Rutgers University-Newark.

Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297759@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171207T181528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180115T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Carillon Composition Workshop DESCRIPTION:What do you want played from U-M’s bell towers?

This movie tells the story of three African-American women mathematicians and engineers (Katherine Johnson\, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan) who would play a pivotal role towards the successful mission of John Glenn’s spacecraft orbit around the Earth and the NASA missions to the moon.\n\nFor this talk\, we give a brief review of the space race going on at the time between the United States of America and the former Soviet Union. We will discuss the lives and contributions that NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and the NASA engineers Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan made to the space race. In particular\, their work as concerns John Glenn’s orbit around the Earth in 1962 and to the moon missions. Also\, we will talk about the experiences of being a mathematical consultant for this film. (This talk was designed and originally to be presented by Professor Rudy Horne\, who passed away in December 2017. Professor Washington kindly agreed to present in his stead.)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Lecture- Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America DESCRIPTION:Please join Michigan Law as we commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a lecture by Professor James Forman of Yale Law School. Professor Forman will discuss his new book\, Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America\, which explores how decisions made by black leaders\, often with the best of intentions\, contributed to disproportionately incarcerating black and brown people. \n\nThis lecture is free and open to the public. \n\nJames Forman Jr. is one of the nation’s leading authorities on race\, education\, and the criminal justice system\, and a tireless advocate for young people who others have written off. Professor Forman attended Yale Law School\, and after he graduated\, worked as a law clerk for Judge William Norris of the 9 th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. After clerking\, he took a job at the Public Defender Service in Washington\, D.C.\, where for six years he represented juveniles and adults in felony and misdemeanor cases. \n\nProfessor Forman loved being a public defender\, but he quickly became frustrated with the lack of education and job training opportunities for his clients. So in 1997\, along with David Domenici\, he started the Maya Angelou Public Charter School\, an alternative school for dropouts and youth who had previously been arrested. The Maya Angelou school has been open for almost twenty years\, and in that time has helped hundreds of vulnerable young people find a second chance\, begin to believe in themselves\, graduate\, get jobs\, and attend college. \n\nAt Yale Law School\, where has taught since 2011\, Professor Forman teaches Constitutional Law and a course called Race\, Class\, and Punishment. Last year he took his teaching behind prison walls\, offering a seminar called Inside-Out Prison Exchange: Issues in Criminal Justice\, which brought together\, in the same classroom\, 10 Yale Law students and 10 men incarcerated in a CT prison.

Audre Lorde - the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 documents an untold chapter of Lorde’s life: her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change. The film explores the importance of Lorde’s legacy\, as she encouraged Afro-Germans—who\, at that time\, had no name or space for themselves—to make themselves visible within a culture that until then had kept them isolated and silent. \n\nThe film chronicles Lorde’s empowerment of Afro-German women to write and to publish\, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways. Previously unreleased archive material as well as present-day interviews explore the lasting influence of Lorde’s ideas on Germany and the impact of her work and personality. For the first time\, Dagmar Schultz’s personal archival video- and audio-recordings reveal a significant part of the private Audre Lorde as well as her agenda—to rouse Afro-Germans to recognize each other. \n\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, \nplease contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis.

This work includes theoretical and numerical developments\, as well as experimental validations.\n\nOn the theoretical front\, aero elastic equations of motions are derived to model a VFA as well as sensor measurements. Two state estimation and reconstruction algorithms are explored\, extracting structural deformation from noisy measurements.\n\nNext\, model predictive control (MPC) is applied to maneuver load alleviation of a representative VFA. Numerical studies are performed and MPC demonstrates both control and state constraints are successfully enforced.\n\nOn the experimental front\, two aero elastic testbed vehicles (ATV-6B and RRV-6B) are constructed. On ATV-6B\, an extensive set of sensors measuring structural\, flight dynamic\, and aerodynamic information is integrated on-board. A new stereo-vision measurement system mounted on the body center tracks high brightness LEDs markers embedded on the wing surface.\n\nFinally\, flight tests are conducted using the RRV-6B to collect aero elastic data. \nSystem identification was applied to the experimental data to obtain VFA characteristics. Finally\, using this identified plant\, a yaw stabilization autopilot was designed and flight tested\, demonstrating significant improvements in handling qualities.\n\nPublications\n\nPang\, Z.

DESCRIPTION:Arts at Michigan is looking for enthusiastic\, outgoing\, and friendly students who are living in a Residence Hall or living community (fraternity or sorority house\, co-op\, etc.) and have an interest in the arts that they want to share! Arts Ambassadors are unpaid volunteers who serve within their living communities as a resource for arts opportunities on campus. As an Arts Ambassador you'll help promote arts events and activities\, learn about local arts organizations\, meet local artists\, and have a small programming budget to organize things like film screenings\, craft nights\, gallery walks\, etc. for your living community! You'll attend monthly meetings and collaborate with other Arts Ambassadors to get the U-M community engaged in the arts! The application deadline for Winter 2018 is January 20.

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. Cox.\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.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Thermodynamics is a remarkably successful theoretical framework\, with wide ranging applications across the natural sciences. Unfortunately\, thermodynamics is limited to equilibrium or near-equilibrium situations\, whereas most of the natural world\, especially life\, operates very far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Without a robust nonequilibrium thermodynamics\, we cannot address a whole host of pressing research questions regarding the energetic requirements to operate outside of equilibrium\, like the energetic cost to form a pattern\, replicate an organism\, or sense an environment\, to name a few. Cutting-edge research in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics is beginning to shed light on these questions. In this talk\, I will present two such recent predictions. The first is a novel linear-response-like bound that quantifies how dissipation shapes fluctuations far from equilibrium. Besides its intrinsic allure as a universal relation\, I will discuss how it can be used to probe the energetic efficiency of molecular motors\, offer energetic constraints on chemical clocks\, and bound the dissipation in complex materials\, both biological and synthetic\, allowing us to gain insight into the fundamental energetic requirements to operate out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The second is an extended second law of thermodynamics with information that quantifies the precise energetic costs to process information\, which I will apply to the energetic requirements of sensory adaptation in E. coli.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297760@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

Inter/Nationalism: Decolonizing Native America and Palestine DESCRIPTION:“The age of transnational humanities has arrived.” According to Steven Salaita\, the seemingly disparate fields of Palestinian Studies and American Indian studies have more in common than one may think. In Inter/Nationalism\, Salaita argues that American Indian and Indigenous studies must be more central to the scholarship and activism focusing on Palestine.\n\nSalaita offers a fascinating inside account of the Boycott\, Divestment\, and Sanctions (BDS) movement—which\, among other things\, aims to end Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land. In doing so\, he emphasizes BDS’s significant potential as an organizing entity as well as its importance in the creation of intellectual and political communities that put Natives and other colonized peoples such as Palestinians into conversation. His discussion includes readings of a wide range of Native poetry that invokes Palestine as a theme or symbol\; the speeches of U.S. President Andrew Jackson and early Zionist thinker Ze’ev Jabotinsky\; and the discourses of “shared values” between the United States and Israel.\n\nInter/Nationalism seeks to lay conceptual ground between American Indian and Indigenous studies and Palestinian studies through concepts of settler colonialism\, indigeneity\, and state violence. By establishing Palestine as an indigenous nation under colonial occupation\, this book draws crucial connections between the scholarship and activism of Indigenous America and Palestine.\n\nSteven Salaita is a former professor\, now a political writer. He is the author of several books\, including Uncivil Rites: Palestine and the Limits of Academic Freedom and Israel’s Dead Soul.\n\nCosponsors: Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Conflict and Peace Initiative\, Department of American Culture\, Department of Near Eastern Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, International Institute\, Islamic Studies Program.

The development of nano FETs by various nanowires (NWs)\, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are still hindered by surface defects and difficulty in controlled synthesis of semiconducting CNTs\, respectively.\n\nApparently\, beyond the box approaches should be explored to overcome the above mentioned limitations. Here we discuss about creation of transistors and electronic switches without semiconductors. Furthermore\, these devices are based on quantum tunneling\, potentially bypass most if not all the above mentioned limitation. Specifically\, we will discuss about room temperature tunneling FETs by metallic quantum dots functionalized boron nitride nanotubes (QDs-BNNTs) [1]. These QDs-BNNTs can also be designed for use in flexible electronics [2]. Finally\, graphene-BNNTs heterojunctions are also created to convert metallic graphene into digital switches [3]. All these results are made possible after the success in controlled synthesis of high-quality BNNTs by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) [4-6].\n\nThis work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy\, the Office of Basic Energy Sciences (DOE-BES Grants DEFG0206ER46294\, and DESC0012762).

Answering this question has long been fraught with difficulty\, as the association of Judaism with money has been closely intertwined with negative stereotypes of Jews and anti-Semitism. More broadly\, money is often viewed as antithetical to religious values\, which are held up as bulwarks against the pursuit of material gain. In this talk\, we’ll go back to the classical Jewish sources\, including the Mishnah and Talmud (in English translation) – texts from the ancient world that form the foundations of Jewish thought and law to this day. We will examine how the ancient rabbis conceptualized money and wealth\, and learn how archaeological finds from Israel can help us better understand the formulation of rabbinic thought. We will also discuss how the classical rabbis’ view and attitudes have been re-interpreted over time\, and how going back to the original sources can give us innovative ideas and insights into the role of money in Jewish law.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

Pulling Apart or Hanging Together: Separatism and Nationalism in Catalonia\, Scotland\, and Northern Italy DESCRIPTION:Western Europe\, the birthplace of the modern nation-state\, is now home to several polities facing threats to their political and territorial integrity. The demands of subnational challengers run the gamut from greater political and/or fiscal autonomy within established states to formal separation and political sovereignty. These challengers have employed a variety of strategies in pursuit of those demands\, including drafting legislation\, organizing mass protests\, and holding referenda. This panel brings together experts on intra-state conflict in Italy\, Spain\, and the United Kingdom. The panelists will explore the sources of grievances by regional actors in the Northern League\, Catalonia\, and Scotland\; examine the nature of their goals and strategies\; and discuss the response of central state actors to these challenges to the status quo. \n \nDario Gaggio\, History \nKali Israel\, History \nFrank Casa\, Romance Languages and Literatures \nModerator: Geneviève Zubrzycki\, Sociology\; Director\, Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia and Center for European Studies UID:47766-11012471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47766 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Democracy,European,History,International,Politics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180110T140937 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T210000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Engineering IA Teaching Orientation DESCRIPTION:New engineering undergraduate instructional aides (IAs) are REQUIRED to attend a teaching orientation.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell.

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. Cox.\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.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

The first line shows artists who challenge and confront intense socio-political situations of China\; they confront global forces with individualistic artistry. The second line shows artists who attempt to construct their own artistic niches and global expressions of peace and other humanist concerns. This talk introduces these parallel lines of engagements\, illustrating the ways Chinese artists discuss their art works since 1980s. \n\nZHANG Fang\, writer and art critic/historian\, is Hughes Scholar (2016-2017) at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Zhang has published quite extensively in foreign and Chinese journals introducing the China syndrome which are compounded by multi-faced social\, political\, economic and cultural diaspora. \n\n*Image: Follow Me\, 120x300cm\, laser print\, 2003\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48726-11297751@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48726 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Food,Free,Talk LOCATION:Michigan League - Koessler Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180105T122420 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminars | The strong CP problem and UV instantons DESCRIPTION:The absence of sizeable CP violation in the strong sector is a long standing puzzle. A class of solutions to this problem rely on a global U(1) symmetry that is anomalous with QCD. These solutions lead to robust low-energy predictions\, for example a massless up quark or a light axion. I will present simple extensions to such solutions which can dramatically change these low-energy predictions. In our models\, contributions from small instantons play a significant role in affecting the low-energy physics while preserving the solution to the strong CP problem.

As a consequence\, people may become more vigilant towards deviant behavior to protect themselves against such contamination. Indeed\, prior work shows that when the threat of pathogens is imminent\, people often protect themselves from contamination by avoiding others who may go against social norms. However\, other theories suggest that social norms may be stricter in contexts with greater threat in order to enable social coordination to deal with the threat. Although these two theories predict greater threat will be associated with stricter norms\, they suggest different mechanisms for how individuals may deal with the threat. Specifically\, the first would suggest avoidance of others\, while the second would entail social coordination. Importantly\, both these adaptive mechanisms may be at play\, but may be used to a different extent based on individual differences in relational orientations and perceptions of vulnerability to disease. Here\, we tested two distinct neural components: (i) detection of norm-violating behaviors (captured by an N400 event-related potential component) and (ii) increased vigilance (indexed by alpha suppression). 58 American undergraduates received a pathogen threat or control prime and then were asked to judge how violating a series of behaviors (e.g.\, crying) were in various settings (e.g.\, funeral or class lecture) that were pre-tested to be normal or norm violations respectively. Norm-violating (vs. normal) behaviors elicited a stronger negative deflection of electro-cortical response around 400ms post-stimulus (called the N400). This component indicates that norm violations were seen as more incongruent than normal behaviors. Supporting our hypothesis\, the N400 base to peak amplitude was significantly greater for norm violating versus normal behaviors in the pathogen threat (versus control) condition. Moreover\, Alpha-band (8-10.5Hz) power was suppressed (indicating greater vigilance) for the norm-violating (vs. normal) conditions\, indicating participants were more vigilant of norm violations than normal behaviors. Interestingly\, in the pathogen threat condition\, this vigilance effect became less pronounced for people high in interdependent self-construal\, fear of negative evaluation\, need to belong\, and germ aversion. Curiously\, the N400 for norm-violating (vs normal) behaviors was uninfluenced by these variables. Our data suggest that pathogen threats induce heightened vigilance to deviant behaviors\, although this is primarily driven by those low on perceptions of disease vulnerability and need to belong. Our data demonstrate two important neural signatures (N400 and alpha band suppression) that may constitute a crucial part of the behavioral immune system against pathogen contamination. Future work should test how those high in perceptions of vulnerability to disease and need to belong may cope with threat since they are not more vigilant to norm violations.

Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

To go faster and farther\, deep space mis-sions of the future will require increasingly larger total changes in the spacecraft velocity – ΔV. The largest ΔV provided by any onboard propulsion system in deep space is 11 km/s by the ion propulsion system on NASA’s Dawn mission. This is 3 to 4 times higher than the ΔV by any onboard chemical propulsion system. Solar EP has now been used on six missions beyond Earth orbit: Deep Space 1\, SMART-1\, Hayabusa 1\, LISA Pathfinder\, Hayabusa 2\, and Dawn\; and on hundreds of commercial communication satellites. The next uses of EP will be NASA’s mission to the metal world (16) Psyche and ESA’s BebiColombo mission to Mercury. This activity is driven by the inescapable reality of the rocket equation. Yet EP has just scratched the surface of what it can do. This talk will discuss how advanced EP technologies will impact an impressive range of future space activities including: rapid transportation throughout the solar system\; human missions beyond low-Earth orbit\; planetary defense\; asteroid mining\; gravitational wave experiments\; and even interstellar precursor missions.\n\nJohn Brophy received a B.S. in Mechanical Engr. from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1978\, and M.S.

Dr. Sheklian will work through two case studies\, what we call “comparative analysis of embedded cultural concepts.” First\, he will develop Armenian Miaphysite Christology as a semiotic mode\, emphasizing reflection on Jesus Christ as “the Word” and drawing connections to exegetical practices within the Armenian Christian tradition. Secondly\, he will compare the Armenian concepts of derutyun (“dominion”) and ishkhanutyun (“authority”) to ideas about sovereignty and the sovereign state. Through these examples\, the lecture will present and develop the possibility for deploying concepts internal to the Armenian textual tradition themselves as part of a robust social theory and mode of theorizing the (Armenian) present. \n \nChristopher Sheklian studies secularism\, minority rights\, contemporary urban politics\, and the connections between theology and social theory. His work deploys theological categories and liturgical practice in order to explore modes of belonging and forms of attachment available to religious minority populations in urban centers. He received his PhD from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago in 2017. In his dissertation\, \"Theology and the Community: The Armenian Minority\, Tradition\, and Secularism in Turkey\,\" he argues that a liturgical subject immersed in the music and temporality of the Armenian Church can be attuned to the city of Istanbul in a way that highlights both the possibilities and limits for minority inclusion in Turkey today.\n\nSponsors: Armenian Studies Program and Department of Anthropology.\n\nImage: Ruins of Sis | Credit: Christopher Sheklian UID:46691-10581047@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46691 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Armenia,Culture,Interdisciplinary,Religious Studies LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171122T141935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cross Campus Transfer to LSA Information Sessions DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about transferring to LSA from another University of Michigan school or college?

Today\, AI permeates multiple industries\, from self-driving vehicles and entertainment choices to cancer-detection and criminal justice. Moreover\, in the last few years\, it has had substantial impacts in molecular chemistry\, particle physics\, and more recently astronomy. AI\, and it’s sub-fields\, like machine learning\, are more than likely here to stay. But\, what are these algorithms really doing\, and are they ethically implemented? \n\nWe'll discuss these topics\, as well as the theory of deep learning\, and its application to modern astronomical surveys\, which are providing data sets that are unprecedented in size\, precision\, and complexity. Recent work with convolutional neural networks and strong gravitational lensing intimate the long-term potential for deep learning and its application to larger challenges in cosmology. However\, AI is not without its own shortcomings. We'll discuss the barriers to deep learning having its highest impact on science.\n\n UID:48332-11222703@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48332 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180112T152539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Proposal Writing Workshop DESCRIPTION:Don't let an unpolished proposal hold you back from a research experience!

Religion\, Ethics\, and Climate Change DESCRIPTION:Pope Francis is a lonely voice in pushing for action on climate change\; why are other religious leaders so slow to respond to this ethical challenge? This talk will look at two ways that religions interact with science: either a totalizing view (\"religion has all the answers\") or a contingent view (\"religious answers may be revised\"). How do these views interact with the problem of climate change? The speaker will suggest that climate change is more than a challenge to energy policy\, it also undercuts the way that many people regard religion. \n\nJonathan Brockopp\, associate professor of history and religion at Penn State University\, specializes in the literary remains of early Islamic cultures\, including the Qur’an\, hadith\, legal and theological texts. In his most upcoming book\, \"Muhammad’s Heirs: the Rise of Muslim Scholarly Communities\,\" he focuses on the question of how early Islamic scholars construct their notion of religious authority. Professor Brockopp is the convener for the Penn State Society for the Study of Religion and the director of the Rock Ethics Institute Initiative in Religion and Ethics.\n\nThis lecture will be live-streamed from Michigan State University.

When asked about its unfortunately lesser success compared to that of the Seventh symphony\, the composer said “that is because it is so much better.” Unexpected turns\, exciting modulations\, and an incredibly creative instrumentation make this symphony the most experimental and exciting works he wrote in a purely classical style. The concert will close with Richard Strauss’s suite from his popular opera Rosenkavalier. This work follows the contour of the story\, highlighting some of the best moments including Viennese waltzes and love duets\, all amplified by Strauss’s magnificent orchestration. \n\nPROGRAM: Beethoven- Symphony No. 8\; Strauss- Rosenkavalier Suite UID:47721-11004674@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47721 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180117T180021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T220000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Mswing Open Swing DESCRIPTION:We play mostly current music\, but its a mix of everything you could potentially swing dance.
