Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207415@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

A major challenge to its disruption is the fact that human trafficking is a complex system interwoven with other illegal and legal networks\, both cyber and physical. Efforts to disrupt human trafficking must understand these complexities and the ways in which a disruption to one portion of the network affects other network components. As such\, industrial and systems engineering models are uniquely positioned to address the challenges facing anti-human trafficking efforts. This presentation will discuss ongoing interdisciplinary anti-human trafficking efforts focusing on prevention\, network disruption\, and survivor empowerment. Specifically\, we will discuss 1) the adaptions to current network interdiction models that are necessary for adequately representing human trafficking contexts and 2) a budget-constrained optimization model that maximizes the societal value of locating additional shelters for human trafficking survivors.\n\nBio: \nKayse Lee Maass is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and leads the Operations Research and Social Justice lab at Northeastern University. She also currently holds a research appointment with the Information and Decision Engineering Program at Mayo Clinic and is the co-founder of the Trafficking Research for Action Collaborative.

While concepts like the Anthropocene scale environmental violence up to the planetary level—treating the chemical pollutant and the human body as the same everywhere—this talk takes a non-universalizing approach to chemical violence and its relations to land and bodies. Focusing on the history of Canada's Chemical Valley and the world’s oldest running oil refinery\, this talk asks how the specificity of chemical exposures can be understood in relation to colonialism as well as Anishinabek and Haudenosaunee obligations to land on the lower Great Lakes. In so doing\, it makes the case for the need to rethink the assumptions of universalism and liberal humanism that undergird conventional environmental understandings.\n\nMichelle Murphy is professor of history and women and gender studies at the University of Toronto\, Canada Research Chair of Science and Technology Studies and Environmental Data Justice\, and Director of the Technoscience Research Unit. Her current research looks at chemical pollution and environmental data in Canada's Chemical Valley\, with a focus on the world's oldest running oil refinery which sits on the land of Aamjiwnaang First Nation. Murphy's most recent book is The Economization of Life (Duke University Press). She is Métis from Winnipeg.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

DESCRIPTION:Paul Davidson \nAssistant Research Scientist \nAerospace Engineering \nUniversity of Michigan\n\nA review of future ideas for commercial aviation points towards four kinds of aircraft designs: high aspect ratio wing (HARW)\, blended body\, Urban Air Mobility (UAM)\, and supersonic vehicles. From a structural perspective\, these aircraft designs necessitate the use of advanced composites and manufacturing methods. Robotic systems like Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) technology for laying down composite material\, offers one such manufacturing method\, to address the future aviation needs. Even with advancements made in AFP technology\, there are issues still plaguing composite manufacturing\, namely imperfections. Imperfections refer to deviation from design intent and have ramifications on the performance of the structure. The identification of imperfections and subsequent rework/reject decision consumes about 20% of the total production time and is inconsistent. These inconsistencies in inspection and manufacturing are indirectly accounted for in a design\, by increasing safety factors\, thereby increasing the weight and cost of a structure.\nIn this talk\, an overview of the challenges posed in the manufacturing of composite structures\, as well as a framework to study the effect of manufacturing imperfections on material performance\, will be presented. An experimental-computational framework that utilizes a small number of controlled defect coupon tests to develop a validated high-fidelity finite element model will be described. The framework utilizes Kriging regression\, Support Vector Classification\, and analysis using the Monte Carlo method to determine the risk of defects on the composites. To conclude\, I will outline current research problems and opportunities for cross-collaboration between researchers in the areas of structures\, materials\, NDI\, robotics\, and data sciences.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Davidson is an Assistant Research Scientist in Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He received his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Michigan. From May 2016 to August 2018 he was a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the Composite Structures Lab of the Aero& Astro Department at the University of Washington\, Seattle. From May 2013 to October 2015 he worked in the Composite Design and Analysis Lab of General Electric’s Global Research Center. He is also a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Materials Technical Committee\, and the vice-chair of Durability and Damage Tolerance (DaDT) Division of American Society of Composites (ASC). His primary research interests include composite mechanics\, specifically on the damage\, failure and fatigue of composite materials\, advanced manufacturing methods\, multi-scale analysis\, low velocity and high velocity impact damage\, and micro-mechanics.

This response is dependent on both the surface topography and the electrochemical activity of the substrate. Consequently\, using an array of operational modes\, a wide variety of substrates and experimental systems can be characterized. The strength of SECM lies in its ability to quantify material flux from a surface with a high spatial and temporal resolution. It has been used in a variety of applications fields. \nWe will first describe the fundamentals of SECM\, including the required instrumentation and the principles of the most frequently used operational modes. Following this basic understanding of SECM principles\, we then move towards a comprehensive summary of the critical parameters for any SECM experiment. More specifically\, we will discuss in detail redox mediators\, probes\, and solvent systems that are used in SECM experiments. Finally\, we will discuss our recent applications of SECM with an emphasis on our work in the last five years related to material characterisation\, corrosion and batteries. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJanine Mauzeroll (McGill University) UID:64849-16462988@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64849 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T181712 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T180000 SUMMARY:Other:Witness Lab Simulation: Community High School Mock Trial DESCRIPTION:This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation.

Shaw Lecture DESCRIPTION:The 2020 Shaw Lecture has been postponed until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.\n\nExploring her identity as an immigrant Muslim woman on the front lines of civil rights and liberties in Michigan\, Rana Elmir will examine the well-organized Islamophobia industry and the relentless attacks on Muslim women who face unique challenges borne of both a presumption of guilt\, as well as the additional presumption of victimhood. Muslim women’s status as both villains and victims not only drives discrimination\, harassment and hate crimes\, but promotes cynical policy proposals designed to “save” Muslim women that are actually rooted in anti-Muslim bias. \n\nRana Elmir is the deputy director of the ACLU of Michigan and has devoted her career to storytelling\, action and activism. As part of the senior management team\, she works in conjunction with the ACLU’s legal\, legislative and development departments to increase understanding and appreciation of the Bill of Rights. Rana lectures often on anti-Muslim bias\, the importance of storytelling\, free speech and the intersection of race\, faith\, and gender. The Washington Post has published two op-eds written by Rana: “Stop asking me to condemn terrorists just because I’m Muslim” and “How Muslim women bear the brunt of Islamophobia.” Prior to her role as deputy director\, Rana held the position of communications director for the ACLU of Michigan. Rana is a graduate of Wayne State University’s Journalism School and the Journalism Institute for Minorities.\n\nThe Vivian R. Shaw Lecture is presented biennially by the Women's Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Established in 1997 by Ellen S.

This talk is illustrated by rarely-seen images of cartoon cooks contemporary with the plays\, juxtaposed with modern parallels from cookie jars to South Park’s Chef to Betye Saar’s “Liberation of Aunt Jemima\".\n\nContent warning: this talk will include discussion and display of images related to modern slavery and anti-black racism.\n\nLocation: Rackham Amphitheater (4th floor)\nNB: There are two spots for wheelchair users in the middle of the Amphitheater\, using the North Entrance.\n\nMarch 19th\, 5:30pm\nFree and open to the public\nReception to follow UID:73236-18181848@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73236 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,Lecture LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200311T181706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T183000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Zell Visiting Writers Series: Jenny Zhang\, Fiction Reading DESCRIPTION:Jenny Zhang’s story collection\, Sour Heart (Lenny\, 2017)\, centers on immigrants who have traded their endangered lives as artists in China and Taiwan for the constant struggle of life at the poverty line in 1990s New York City. It examines the many ways that family and history can weigh us down and also lift us up. From the young woman coming to terms with her grandmother’s role in the Cultural Revolution to the daughter struggling to understand where her family ends and she begins\, to the girl discovering the power of her body to inspire and destroy\, these seven stories illuminate the complex and messy inner lives of girls struggling to define themselves.\n \nZhang is also the author of the poetry collection Dear Jenny\, We Are All Find.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

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

These questions have philosophical bite and political stakes. Indeed\, they always have. But recent work in a range of disciplines asks us to go deeper. What if “we humans” are more fiction than fact? If we can’t assume the stability of the human across time and place\, what happens to debates about human nature? Humanistic approaches including actor-network theory\, posthuman criticism\, and multispecies ethnographies challenge the idea of an autonomous human nature\, while scientific studies of organ development\, neuroendocrinology\, and the microbiome are revealing how much nature there is inside of us. Human Conditions explores these questions through a braided history of the human and environmental sciences.\n\nAll events take place in 1014 Tisch Hall unless otherwise noted.

Communities denied of the “right to have rights” are engaged in fights to reclaim their lands\, their place in the world\, and often their very right to exist. Yet this fight implicates us all as we resist crisscrossing vectors of injustice from our different relations to precarity and (dis)placement. Drawing upon activist research in solidarity with communities fighting labels of “illegal immigrant” and state-sponsored crisis of citizenship in Assam (Northeast India)\, this talk will grapple with multiple dimensions of structural violence\, from its colonial underpinnings to ongoing peoples’ resistance against it. Anchored in decolonial\, women of Color\, and transnational feminist perspectives\, this participatory action research project documents social suffering in disenfranchised communities and explores creative and culturally meaningful pathways for decolonial resistance. Centering defiant voices of these communities-in-struggle\, the talk will illustrate the need to rethink dominant conceptualizations of citizenship\, migration\, and belonging\; in doing so\, troubling hegemonic ideas of “inclusion” tethered to nation state membership as well as illuminating possibilities for alternative collective imaginaries.

For low-dimensional systems\, models can be fitted to time series data using Monte Carlo particle filter methods. As dimension increases\, for example when analyzing epidemics among a collection of spatially coupled populations\, particle filter methods rapidly degenerate. We show that many independent Monte Carlo calculations\, each of which does not attempt to solve the filtering problem\, can be combined to give a global filtering solution with favorable theoretical scaling properties under a weak coupling condition. The independent Monte Carlo calculations are called islands\, and the operation carried out on each island is called adapted simulation\, so the complete algorithm is called an adapted simulation island filter. We demonstrate this methodology and some related algorithms on a model for measles transmission within and between cities. The COVID-19 situation will also be discussed.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed and is accessible at \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/252293050 \nProblems?

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Maintaining users' loyalty and motivating them to be actively involved in monetization activities are some of the most critical challenges for UGC platforms' sustainable development. To deal with these challenges\, our research aims to investigate user engagement behaviors and the underlying mechanisms behind these behaviors in two different contexts\, an asynchronous UGC platform and a synchronous live streaming service. By collaborating with a large online community (Qiubai) and a popular live streaming platform (Remix) in China\, we combine a unique panel data analysis method on detailed user-level activity data with large-scale field experiments. Specifically\, we investigate the possibility of using nudges and digital badges to encourage user engagement in UGC platforms by examining the impact of extrinsic factors of UI on user behaviors. We capture and simulate the dynamics of user engagement state using a Hidden Markov model and Monte Carlo Layered Bayesian model and fit the data of users' engagement behavior under the social network structure using the Fixed Effect Poisson model. In our live streaming context\, we use variance analysis and linear panel data regression methods to analyze users' paying (tipping) behavior through manipulating audience size\, tipping amount and develop a panel vector autoregression (PVAR) model to examine the role of emotion in interactive and dynamic social settings. Our findings can help UGC communities better understand user engagement behaviors\, and thus provide theoretical and managerial implications for effective UGC marketing strategies to enhance users' loyalty and stimulate their active online engagement.\n\nBio:\nDr. Xingyu (Celine) Chen received her Ph.D. degree in Systems and Engineering Management from Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\, in 2013.

At UM\, in addition to each unit’s intellectual and disciplinary agendas\, our Tribal engagements profoundly influence other core functions of the university: from undergraduate recruitment to donor and foundation relationships. Based on more than 15 years of relationship-building\, Michener has developed UM Matthaei-Nichols as a key partner in broadening and refocusing plant- and environmental justice-centered research relationships with Michigan’s Tribal partners. The ways forward include deepening engagement with the research divisions at RMC. By mutual agreement with Tribal partners\, little of this work has been discussed in public venues until recently. Today’s talk will focus on specific Tribally-engaged research activities at the Matthaei-Nichols\, their immediate objectives\, and the anticipated impacts for all partners.

Adults with ADHD experience poorer resistance to external task-irrelevant distraction (Forster and Lavie\, 2016) as well as to internal task-irrelevant distraction\, or mind-wandering (Franklin et al.\, 2017). Past work in the lab has determined a visual search task that displays robust performance differences between adults with and without ADHD due to singleton distractors. In the work I will discuss\, I have employed both eye-tracking and mind-wandering methods during this visual search task to evaluate how external and internal distraction affect task performance in adults with and without ADHD.\n\nLauren Grant\n\nTitle:\nOutliers Among Us: How to Identify and Deal with Extreme Data Points in ECoG\n\nAbstract:\nOutliers in experimental data can result in false positives (Type I errors) or false negatives (Type II errors) that dramatically change a researcher’s conclusions. Given the adverse effects of publishing such distorted conclusions (e.g.\, contributing to the replication crisis)\, many researchers try to identify and remove outliers before conducting their main statistical analyses. However\, there are a large number of outlier removal methods in the literature\, and it remains unclear which ones are most effective. Along these lines\, my recent work with reaction time (RT) data suggests that employing Sn – a robust estimator of scale – minimizes both Type I and Type II errors in subsequent data analyses\, relative to several alternative methods. However\, it is unclear whether Sn outperforms competing outlier removal methods for other data types. To test this hypothesis\, I conducted a series of simulations in the context of a typical ECoG experiment. Interestingly\, the median absolute deviation (MAD) – rather than Sn – was a highly effective method for dealing with extreme data points. Such findings reveal that there is no “one shoe fits all” solution to the problem of removing outliers. Rather\, the most effective method varies with the nature of the data itself.

RSVP requested online at: cew.umich.edu/events/cew-inspire-workshop-launching-your-ship\n\nIn this workshop\, Woods will share experiences in creatively tackling problems and experiencing the joys of coalition building. Participants will be encouraged to think about how they approach situations where the ship they are in seems to be stuck in a port and is not going anyplace. Stuck in racism? Stuck in sexism? Stuck in certain social classes? What do you need to make your ship sail? Will a new captain do it? Or\, should you be the “Captain of your own fate?” Do you need a new destination? Are you bored with the direction you have been going? Are you going in circles? Do you need new perspectives\, new shipmates? Have you outgrown the mundane\, xenophobic habits of those in your circle? How can you develop healthy habits to move your life and community forward? Short\, interactive activities will assist each participant in using the ship metaphor to move forward in their life.\n\nWendy Ann Woods served the citizens of Ann Arbor from 2001 to 2007 as City Councilwoman.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

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

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

The film's topic relates to another ongoing and contentious negotiation between the two governments\, concerning compensation for the enslaved Korean women forced to serve as “comfort women” for Japanese soldiers during World War II. The subject of the film\, human rights activist\, Kim Bok Dong\, died in January 2019\, at the age of 93\, after a 27-year-battle to get Japan to acknowledge its wartime actions. Although exact numbers are hard to document\, it’s estimated that as many as 200\,000 Korean women were forced into sexual servitude during the war\, an enslavement that resulted in physical and psychological trauma. Many women died. Kim\, who grew up in what she once described as a “tight knit family\,” said she was taken away by the Japanese military at the age of 14\, ostensibly to work in a factory. Instead\, she said that she was forced to become a sex slave.” –JOAN MACDONALD\, Forbes\n\nCheck out IndieWire’s full review here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanmacdonald/2019/08/13/my-name-is-kim-bok-dong-shares-story-of-korean-activist-who-asked-japan-to-apologize/#12ef248927cf\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. On this tour\, explore the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

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

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207418@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.
