The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat\, the clothes we wear\, our homes\, our cars\, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers\, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist\, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

Byrd's main medium is acrylic on foamboard\, and his process involves observation of the world and the people in it. His paintings depict his ideal world and how its inhabitants should treat each other. Byrd is known as the Artist of Happiness and the overall theme of his paintings is love and acceptance.

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

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about.

In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

These images contributed to and reflected shifting ideas about the interrelationship between clothing and identity. It was in this period that \"fashion\" became the core concept defining clothing choice for Europeans. As a dedicated fashion press emerged by 1800\, so did expectations about fashion: trends now dictated the pace at which clothing should be updated.\n\nBut the early nineteenth century also witnessed a rise in interest in clothing that did not change\, and which became subsumed in the category of \"costume.\" The period's prolific illustrated press documented traditional costumes worn in rural regions of Europe or far-flung parts of the world. Such images contributed to perceived divisions between those who participated in fashion and those who did not. In so doing\, these images complemented contemporary beliefs that progress and modernity were inherently metropolitan\, Western phenomena. The exhibition traces these contrasting ideas about clothing as fashion and as costume (as well as hybrids of the two) across visual representations ranging from fashion plates to caricatures\, and from journals associated with clothing production\, to encyclopedic volumes on historic dress and world costume.\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Isabelle Gillet and Courtney Wilder\, graduate students in the History of Art department.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694189@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190805T093306 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190818T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190818T123000 SUMMARY:Other:Wonderful World of Whales Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

Perhaps as a result of his childhood experiences\, he has explored themes of memory\, death\, and mourning in a variety of media—film\, paint\, photography\, and found objects. His evocative\, often ephemeral installations archive and memorialize anonymous individual loss. Monument to the Lycée Chases is part of a series of works Boltanski began in 1987\, inspired by a found photograph of the 1931 graduating class from a private Jewish high school in Vienna\, Austria. His re-photographed images are mere silhouettes or intimations of corporal presences that together comprise a moving meditation on loss and endurance.  \n\n UID:63399-15669547@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63399 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Film,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190919T115110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190818T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190818T143000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer.

These images contributed to and reflected shifting ideas about the interrelationship between clothing and identity. It was in this period that \"fashion\" became the core concept defining clothing choice for Europeans. As a dedicated fashion press emerged by 1800\, so did expectations about fashion: trends now dictated the pace at which clothing should be updated.\n\nBut the early nineteenth century also witnessed a rise in interest in clothing that did not change\, and which became subsumed in the category of \"costume.\" The period's prolific illustrated press documented traditional costumes worn in rural regions of Europe or far-flung parts of the world. Such images contributed to perceived divisions between those who participated in fashion and those who did not. In so doing\, these images complemented contemporary beliefs that progress and modernity were inherently metropolitan\, Western phenomena. The exhibition traces these contrasting ideas about clothing as fashion and as costume (as well as hybrids of the two) across visual representations ranging from fashion plates to caricatures\, and from journals associated with clothing production\, to encyclopedic volumes on historic dress and world costume.\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Isabelle Gillet and Courtney Wilder\, graduate students in the History of Art department.

Their abundance as a function of cluster mass is sensitive to both the expansion history and the history of structure formation in the Universe. Various cluster observables such as X-ray luminosity\, temperature and Sunyaev- Zel’dovich (SZ) effect have been shown to scale with cluster mass\, therefore\, can be used as a proxy of total cluster mass.\n\nWe use Magneticum simulation setup to explore the cosmology dependence of galaxy cluster scaling relations which otherwise cannot be tested by observations. We run the same simulation set-up in fifteen different cosmological environments. Our simple\, cosmology dependent mass-observable scaling relation parametrisation can be used to forecast the degeneracies between the amplitude of the scaling relation and the cosmological parameters as well as to explore the combination of potential probes to break these degeneracies.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884039@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694190@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190502T104928 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190820T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190820T130000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Divide and Clothe: Illustrating Fashion in Nineteenth-Century Europe DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores a dramatic surge in images of clothing that appeared in European books\, journals\, and prints from the 1780s through the 1870s. These images contributed to and reflected shifting ideas about the interrelationship between clothing and identity. It was in this period that \"fashion\" became the core concept defining clothing choice for Europeans. As a dedicated fashion press emerged by 1800\, so did expectations about fashion: trends now dictated the pace at which clothing should be updated.\n\nBut the early nineteenth century also witnessed a rise in interest in clothing that did not change\, and which became subsumed in the category of \"costume.\" The period's prolific illustrated press documented traditional costumes worn in rural regions of Europe or far-flung parts of the world. Such images contributed to perceived divisions between those who participated in fashion and those who did not. In so doing\, these images complemented contemporary beliefs that progress and modernity were inherently metropolitan\, Western phenomena. The exhibition traces these contrasting ideas about clothing as fashion and as costume (as well as hybrids of the two) across visual representations ranging from fashion plates to caricatures\, and from journals associated with clothing production\, to encyclopedic volumes on historic dress and world costume.\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Isabelle Gillet and Courtney Wilder\, graduate students in the History of Art department.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat\, the clothes we wear\, our homes\, our cars\, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers\, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884040@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694191@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190429T094530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190821T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190821T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS) DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

These images contributed to and reflected shifting ideas about the interrelationship between clothing and identity. It was in this period that \"fashion\" became the core concept defining clothing choice for Europeans. As a dedicated fashion press emerged by 1800\, so did expectations about fashion: trends now dictated the pace at which clothing should be updated.\n\nBut the early nineteenth century also witnessed a rise in interest in clothing that did not change\, and which became subsumed in the category of \"costume.\" The period's prolific illustrated press documented traditional costumes worn in rural regions of Europe or far-flung parts of the world. Such images contributed to perceived divisions between those who participated in fashion and those who did not. In so doing\, these images complemented contemporary beliefs that progress and modernity were inherently metropolitan\, Western phenomena. The exhibition traces these contrasting ideas about clothing as fashion and as costume (as well as hybrids of the two) across visual representations ranging from fashion plates to caricatures\, and from journals associated with clothing production\, to encyclopedic volumes on historic dress and world costume.\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Isabelle Gillet and Courtney Wilder\, graduate students in the History of Art department.

Moreover\, state-of-the-art nonlinear aeroelastic frameworks lack complete propeller modeling\, just using simple concentrated forces to model its thrust.\n\nThis work aims to fill this gap by incorporating propeller aerodynamics and inertial effects into an aeroelastic framework. For that\, the University of Michigan’s Nonlinear Aeroelastic Simulation Toolbox (UM/NAST) is enhanced with an Unsteady Vortex Lattice for the lifting surfaces and a Lifting Line coupled with Viscous Vortex Particle (LL/VVP) method to model the propeller aerodynamics. In addition\, inertia effects associated with the rigid rotating blades are modeled. Verification tests demonstrate the accuracy of each new component added to the enhanced framework.\n\nUsing the new developments\, investigations of propeller effects on the aeroelastic response and stability of a representative High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) aircraft were performed. The results demonstrate that the presence of propellers can influence the aeroelastic response and stability of a VFA. Therefore\, the additional propeller effects (besides just the incorporation of thrust) should not be neglected in aeroelastic simulations.\n\nDissertation Committee:\n\nChair: Prof. Carlos S.

You would have the kit picked up at the Ann Arbor railway station\, delivered to your site\, and assembled yourself\, or with the help of local craftspeople. \n\nThis was the ultimate do-it-yourself project. There were roughly 200 of these homes built in the Ann Arbor area. The kit home industry was centered in Bay City\, MI\, with over a half million kit homes assembled around the country.\n\nCome to this fascinating presentation to learn the history of kit homes\, and see a virtual tour of local properties. \n\nOur presenters are Andy and Wendy Mutch\, owners of a 1926 Sears kit home in Novi\, Michigan. Their hobby is the researching and the documenting of kit house homes.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Louttit DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Final Oral Examination\n\nCameron M. Louttit\n\nIn Vitro Platforms for the Study and Manipulation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps\n\nThough only recently discovered\, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have rapidly attracted scientific and clinical interest as a potent weapon in the arsenal of innate immunity. These structures\, fibers of decondensed nuclear material on which neutrophils localize their vast antimicrobial and proinflammatory stores\, are released into sites of inflammation or injury with the presumed aim of constraining and clearing bacteria. It has also been shown\, however\, that NETs cause substantial harm\, contributing to the pathogeneses of autoimmune diseases\, cancers\, and thrombotic disorders as well as inciting non-specific inflammation and collateral host damage. Thus\, NETs as currently understood represent a paradox in which protection seems to be outweighed by detriment. In this light\, fundamental questions have arisen surrounding the identity\, function\, and utility of NETs in vivo. This work describes two novel platforms rationally designed to assist in understanding and contextualizing this paradox.\n\nIn the first approach\, aimed at better understanding NET identity\, a reductionist in vitro assay framework was iteratively developed to study NETs from the bottom up\, beginning first with their DNA-histone fibrous substructure. Precise control of DNA-histone complexation yielded a robust\, reproducible\, and scalable structure that stood in stark contrast to low-yield and heterogeneous NET preparations. These structures\, termed DNA-histone mesostructures (DHMs)\, mirrored both NET morphology and\, to an extent\, function. In doing so\, DHMs provided a novel assay platform which elucidated the significant role of the isolated NET backbone in common NET-associated phenomena\, such as bacterial trapping and immune activation. In addition\, it permitted the confirmation and quantification of the role of the peptide LL-37 in altering NET degradation behavior. Beyond these structural studies\, DHMs also yielded novel cell-based assays\, including efforts to characterize the interaction between NET components and the immune system. Such studies elucidated the key role of DNA-histone synergism in NET-mediated immunostimulation\, particularly amplified by the structural inclusion of non-methylated DNA. Additionally\, they highlighted the importance of cell-structure proximity and contact in immune cell uptake and activation.\n\nIn the second approach\, aimed at addressing the perceived pathophysiological imbalance mediated by NETs\, a nanoparticulate platform was leveraged to modify cell-derived NETs in vitro with the aim of ultimately modifying them in situ. The chosen nanoparticles\, hollow nanocapsules composed of polysaccharide\, were internalized into neutrophils but avoided immediate NET induction\; instead\, they primed neutrophils for enhanced NET production only after classical stimulation. Importantly\, the NETs produced by nanocapsule-loaded neutrophils were interwoven with these particles\, thereby indicating significant promise for future therapeutic modification of these structures.\n\nThough distinct in motivation and design\, these two platforms demonstrate novel approaches to understanding NETs and have revealed substantial insights about both NET identity and utility as described in this work. For both\, the simultaneous youth and breadth of the NET field provide a profoundly large and diverse application base. Further studies leveraging both NET-mimicking in vitro assay platforms and NET-binding nanoparticles will therefore continue to assist in the determination of both foundational and therapeutic NET biology.\n\nDate: Thursday\, August 22\, 2019\nTime: 10:00 AM\nLocation: General Motors Conference Room\, Lurie Engineering Center\nChair: Dr. James Moon UID:65528-16611701@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65528 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,biomedical engineering,Biosciences,bme,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Science LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884041@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694192@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190813T113817 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190822T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190822T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Application of Big Data in Medicine - Experience in China DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nDuring the last few years\, substantial enthusiasm has emerged towards the application of big data in medicine in China\, in the expectation of resolving many existing challenges by combining powerful data resources with novel technologies.

These images contributed to and reflected shifting ideas about the interrelationship between clothing and identity. It was in this period that \"fashion\" became the core concept defining clothing choice for Europeans. As a dedicated fashion press emerged by 1800\, so did expectations about fashion: trends now dictated the pace at which clothing should be updated.\n\nBut the early nineteenth century also witnessed a rise in interest in clothing that did not change\, and which became subsumed in the category of \"costume.\" The period's prolific illustrated press documented traditional costumes worn in rural regions of Europe or far-flung parts of the world. Such images contributed to perceived divisions between those who participated in fashion and those who did not. In so doing\, these images complemented contemporary beliefs that progress and modernity were inherently metropolitan\, Western phenomena. The exhibition traces these contrasting ideas about clothing as fashion and as costume (as well as hybrids of the two) across visual representations ranging from fashion plates to caricatures\, and from journals associated with clothing production\, to encyclopedic volumes on historic dress and world costume.\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Isabelle Gillet and Courtney Wilder\, graduate students in the History of Art department.

Their usefulness comes from the fact that their entire spectrum can be controlled by just adjusting the time between pulses and the pulse-to-pulse phase slip of their electric field. This means that\, using relatively simple control schemes\, frequency combs enable the most precise measurements of time and frequency possible\, among a plethora of other applications. Typically\, however\, these light sources are roughly the size of a kitchen table and require the high stability of a lab environment to maintain the controllability of their output. Miniaturized combs exist\, in the form of microscopic ring resonators\, but these light sources are not very tunable\, typically require large and powerful pump lasers to operate\, and are expensive to manufacture. These drawbacks are all showstoppers when it comes to allowing frequency comb enabled precision measurement and spectroscopy to leave the lab. We have demonstrated a new\, extremely cheap\, simple\, and low power laser diode-based frequency comb which is roughly the size of a grain of rice. This laser can be battery powered\, and its spectrum is highly controllable\, making it an ideal light source to allow advanced precision measurement and spectroscopy to leave the lab. In my talk\, I will give a brief overview of frequency comb-based measurements\, demonstrate the stability and tunability of our new sources\, and outline their prospect for future ground- and space-based applications.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

Wright\, a life-long Ann Arborite\, and his wife Kathleen Wright\, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005\, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design\, architecture and illustration\, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children\, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat\, the clothes we wear\, our homes\, our cars\, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers\, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist\, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

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. This exhibition explores 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\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059322@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190603T092105 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190823T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190823T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Things I Like Most About the Clements Library DESCRIPTION:The Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. During a 23-year career with the Clements\, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps\, head of research and publications\, associate director\, and acting director. Daily contact with the collections has inspired reflections on some of the things that the Clements does very well\, driving his exhibit themes around active collecting\, conservation\, solving mysteries\, and more. \n\nDunnigan’s selections include poignant manuscripts\, striking visual imagery and cartography\, and some of his favorite materials from the collections\, drawing especially from his expertise in the mapping of the Great Lakes. This valedictory exhibit in the Clements’s soaring Avenir Foundation Reading Room dwells on seven areas of commitment and illustrates the concepts with some of the Library's most evocative and handsome holdings.

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

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884042@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694193@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190805T095630 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190823T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190823T121500 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far away objects.\n\nNew planetarium shows and live Star Talks will take visitors beyond space to explore the oceans' reefs\, Earth’s geology\, weather\, and more\, all with surround sound and in new\, comfortable seats!

These images contributed to and reflected shifting ideas about the interrelationship between clothing and identity. It was in this period that \"fashion\" became the core concept defining clothing choice for Europeans. As a dedicated fashion press emerged by 1800\, so did expectations about fashion: trends now dictated the pace at which clothing should be updated.\n\nBut the early nineteenth century also witnessed a rise in interest in clothing that did not change\, and which became subsumed in the category of \"costume.\" The period's prolific illustrated press documented traditional costumes worn in rural regions of Europe or far-flung parts of the world. Such images contributed to perceived divisions between those who participated in fashion and those who did not. In so doing\, these images complemented contemporary beliefs that progress and modernity were inherently metropolitan\, Western phenomena. The exhibition traces these contrasting ideas about clothing as fashion and as costume (as well as hybrids of the two) across visual representations ranging from fashion plates to caricatures\, and from journals associated with clothing production\, to encyclopedic volumes on historic dress and world costume.\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Isabelle Gillet and Courtney Wilder\, graduate students in the History of Art department.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Sometimes we care about what that perspective recommends and\, as a result\, we abandon the belief we've been doubting. Other times we don't: we recognize that a perspective in which a certain belief is set aside recommends abandoning it\, but we go on believing it anyway. Why is this? In this paper\, I'll consider and then reject some proposals concerning when to defer to the perspective of doubt. I'll argue that ultimately the question of whether to defer to doubt on any given occasion can’t be answered through rational deliberation.\n\nFull schedule available at event website\n\nSATURDAY\, 8/24\n10:30am–11:30am | Joseph Moore (Princeton)\, \"Rules to Live Well By\"\n12:00pm–1:00pm | Samuel Fullhart (Princeton)\, \"Collective Action\, Prediction\, and Deliberation\"\n2:30pm–3:30pm | Elise Woodard (Michigan) and Calum McNamara (Michigan)\, \"Probabilistic Reasons\"\n4:00pm–6:00pm | Keynote Address by Miriam Schoenfield (MIT)\, \"Deferring to Doubt\"\n\nSUNDAY\, 8/25\n10:30am–11:30am | Megan Wicks (Princeton)\, \"Thoughts on Abuse\"\n12:00pm–1:00pm | Emma Hardy (Michigan)\, \"Ameliorative Moves in the Free Will Debate\"\n3:00pm–4:00pm | Rebecca Harrison (Michigan)\, \"Railton on Responding to Reasons\"\n4:30pm–5:30pm | Brendan Mooney (Michigan)\, \"Normative Implications of Metanormative Theory\" UID:63629-15822801@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63629 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190801T105111 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190824T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190824T111500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Little Star That Could DESCRIPTION:This is a story about Little Star\, an average yellow star in search of planets of his own to protect and warm.

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