SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MAS Lecture | Can Late Paleo-Indian Response to Changing Resource Availability Inform Modern Political Policy?
DESCRIPTION:Tracking consistency and change in climate data\, habitation sites\, resource availability\, and lithic datasets during the early Holocene (ca. 10\,500–8\,500 years ago) in the American Midwest and Great Basin region\, my research suggests that improved access to specific resources led to increased sedentism among Late Paleo-Indian lithic societies. When looked at through the lens of modern climate change\, these findings suggest that we can predict an increase in human mobility and a consequent escalation in conflicts over resources as modern societies adapt to socioeconomic problems brought about and exasperated by a warming planet.\n\nMichigan Archaeological Society lectures are free and open to the public. \n\nLearn more about the Michigan Archaeological Society: \nhttp://www.miarch.org/ \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T200000
SUMMARY:Performance:Langhorne Slim
DESCRIPTION:As the phenomena of instant connection and the need for constant self-improvement further implant their tendrils into our culture\, the ability to truly connect with each other and ourselves has begun to fade. As we all reach for our smartphones to gaze upon the manufactured perfection of the lives of those we admire\, we lose sight of what makes our own lives important.\n\nNashville's Langhorne Slim interlaces this theme throughout his new album. \"Everyone's searchin' for something better around every corner\, but it's already right here\,\" Langhorne says. \"We're all born whole -- through livin' we fall apart...\"\n\nThe songs on Langhorne Slim's newest album\, Lost At Last Vol. 1\, out November 10\, 2017\, challenge the idea of social rigidity: the attitude that there's a \"correct\" way for us to live and a side we should be on. He urges the world to see through the idea that by following that path and focusing only on fitting the mold\, one will have lived a good life. He re-interprets the sound of the free-spirited yet vulnerable everyman heard on 2015's The Spirit Moves and brings forth anew the call for us to abandon \"the fold\" and re-connect with ourselves and each other.\n\nLanghorne Slim is no stranger to the world of popular culture and commercial success. Lost At Last Vol. 1is his sixth full-length album\; throughout his career he has been defined by reflective songwriting and passionate delivery. Slim's last album cycle alone garnered him his third appearance on Conan O'Brien's late-night show\, as well as a feature on CBS Saturday Morning\, and the highest charting debut of his career. O'Brien\, a personal fan of Slim stated\, \"After one listen\, I became an instant\, almost obsessive fan.\" Slim has consistently toured on his own\, and has appeared on extensive worldwide runs throughout his career with artists such as The Lumineers\, The Avett Brothers\, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Josh Ritter\, The Devil Makes Three\, Sara Watkins\, and more. He's also appeared on many festival stages\, such as Bonnaroo\, Newport Folk Festival\, Outside Lands\, Lollapalooza\, and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.\n\nLost At Last Vol. 1 is a record that Langhorne wanted to do differently from the start. \"Almost immediately after recording our last record\, The Spirit Moves\,\" Slim says\, \"I felt a deep desire to make another album. One that would take a step sideways in order to take a step forward\; one that would be very personal and raw...in the making of this record\, I made a deal with myself to trust my own voice and vision more than I ever have before\, and to go willingly wherever it led.\"\n\nThe title alone reflects his need to pen a great wealth of songs\, as if the thoughts and inspiration took on a life of their own and just needed to come out. Recorded over the span of around six months in New Orleans\, Los Angeles\, and Catskill\, NY\, and clocking in at about 34 minutes\, it's a short but intense listening experience. Several songs are under two or three minutes long\, but they pack vivid imagery into concise packages in a way that shows a significant diversion from the songwriting on his previous records. Slim keeps his record-making in the family with this release\; longtime band member Malachi DeLorenzo co-produced the record along with Kenny Siegal\, and DeLorenzo also mixed several tracks in addition to playing drums on the record.\n\nSlim reflects truths that we may or may not want to admit\; in \"Life is Confusing\,\" he muses that \"life is confusing\, and people are insane.\" He stands resolute in the face of trial: .\"..you could break my heart\, but you'll never break me\,\" he sings on \"Never Break.\" He calls upon the listener during this time fraught with challenges to unplug from the trajectory our culture has deemed is \"right\" and find strength in our own vulnerability\, in our own instincts. \"We look to our phones\, drugs\, sex whatever to find ourselves when it's already right here\,\" Slim says. These songs join in the rallying call for the wild ones in us all.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with  U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ASP Workshop | Armenian Music\, Memorial Practices and the Global in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:From lullabies transmitting genocide memories and post genocide experience in Turkey (Bilal 2013\; 2006) to anamnesis\, a form of liturgical remembrance of God’s role in human life (Findikyan 2008)\, and an act of survival in exile (Kerovpyan\, 2015)\, music is constitutive to the Armenian experience worldwide. Both the shared affective participation in the resonance of melodies and rhythms and the tales and stories conveyed in sung musical texts help to create a bond of common experience and sense of belonging within and across Armenian populations spread throughout the globe. \n    \nThis workshop situates various genres of Armenian music—liturgical\, lullaby\, folk\, pop\, and contemporary—as a site from which to explore central questions for the Armenian experiences in the 21st Century. What ties together diverse Diaspora populations\, Anatolia\, and the Republic of Armenia? How is a shared Armenian experience conveyed and transmitted? Which institutions and practices sustain the Armenian community? How does music resonate with individuals while simultaneously creating both communal bonds\, tensions\, and distinctions? In what ways does music tie the past to the present and even help imagine a future? How do we contextualize the ‘traditional’ and the ‘experimental’ in contemporary Armenian music production?\n\nThe workshop will be followed by the screening of the film -  \"Singing in Exile\" (Directed by Turi Finocchiaro and Nathalie Rossetti\; 2015) at 6:30 PM\nSpace 2435\, North Quad\, 105 S State Street\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109.\n\nSaturday\, Mar 17\, 4 PM\nEvening Service and Musical Concert.\nSt. John Armenian Church\, 22001 Northwestern Hwy # 1\, Southfield\, MI 48075.\n\nParticipants:\nHakem Al-Rustom\, University of Michigan\nRoxana-Maria Aras\, University of Michigan\nMeilu Ho\, University of Michigan  \nAram Kerovpyan\, Centre for Armenian Modal Chant Studies of Paris\nAlyssa Mathias\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nJonathon McCollum\, Washington College\nChristopher Sheklian\, University of Michigan\n\nCaption: Paper · 416 ff. · 13.1 x 10 cm · Awendants\, Khizan in the Province Van · 1647. \nCredit: Utopia\, armarium codicum bibliophilorum\, Cod. 4: Armenian Hymnarium (Sharaknots) (http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/list/one/utp/0004)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Resonances of Walter Benjamin in Latin American Thought
DESCRIPTION:This event concerns the relations between the work of Walter Benjamin and critical thought in Latin America. Since the 1970s Benjamin’s work has been extremely influential for Southern Cone artists and intellectuals in particular\, and this influence took on unique characteristics during the dictatorships of the late 20 th century and the concomitant rise of neoliberalism\, when Benjamin’s idiosyncratic mix of Marxism and cultural criticism resonated with efforts to respond to the multifarious manifestations of power and ideology in the region. Willy Thayer\, Elizabeth Collingwood-Selby\, and Federico Galende (currently in residence in RLL as a visiting professor in Wi 18)\, are some of the central figures of contemporary Chilean critical thought\, and they have all been strongly influenced by Benjamin. This colloquium is an occasion to consider the intersections of Benjamin’s work and critical thought in Latin America\, including the ways in which the historical\, political\, and cultural registers that confronted Benjamin resemble or differ from those confronting contemporary Latin America.\n\nProfessors Thayer\, Collingwood-Selby and Galende will deliver papers\, followed by a discussion. This event is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Transitioning Advanced Ceramic Electrolyte into Manufacturable Solid-State Batteries
DESCRIPTION:The transportation sector is the largest user of energy\, primarily relying on the combustion of fossil fuels. Electrifying transportation\, powered by renewable energy sources\, will have a substantial impact on reducing carbon emissions. While conventional Li-ion battery technology is enabling the infusion of some electric vehicles (EVs) into the market\, their performance\, cost\, and safety are not likely to achieve targets necessary to allow for supplantation of the internal combustion engine.  Significant breakthroughs in energy storage technology are necessary to achieve the Grand Challenge to produce and store clean energy to combat climate change.  Improvement in battery performance will also benefit other industries that use batteries such as biomedicine and microelectronics.   Clearly\, there is great need unmet for better batteries.  \n\nWhile recent efforts focus on improving electrode performance in conventional liquid-based chemistries\, an alternative approach is to increase performance and safety by developing solid electrolyte technology to enable all solid-state batteries (SSB).  Currently\, however\, widespread adoption of SSB is impeded by the lack of manufacturing competence.  Opportunities to meet this manufacturing need along with a review of current manufacturing approaches of state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Ambuj Tewari\, Professor of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The origins of the field of machine learning can be traced back to a remarkable section titled “Learning Machines” in Turing’s famous “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” paper. The paper\, one of Turing’s two great papers\, was published in 1950 in the philosophy journal Mind. In the past 70 years\, the field has grown enormously. Technological progress has given us object recognition\, speech recognition\, and machine translation systems that we now take for granted. There has also been tremendous progress in understanding learning machines from the statistical\, computational and mathematical viewpoints. Yet\, what Turing wrote at the end of his 1950 paper remains true as ever: “We can only see a short distance ahead\, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.”\n\nIn this talk\, I will provide brief non-technical descriptions of a few projects\, both applied and theoretical\, that my research group is working on. I also hope to convey the message that machine learning\, like any technology\, is amoral. Whether it is put to good or bad uses in society is up to us. If learning algorithms control access to credit\, healthcare\, education\, and employment\, it becomes an ethical obligation to examine issues related to fairness\, accountability and transparency in machine learning.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nAmbuj Tewari is an associate professor in the Department of Statistics and the Department of EECS (by courtesy) at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His is also affiliated with the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS). He obtained his PhD under the supervision of Peter Bartlett at the University of California at Berkeley. His research interests lie in machine learning including statistical learning theory\, online learning\, reinforcement learning and control theory\, network analysis\, and optimization for machine learning. He collaborates with scientists to seek novel applications of machine learning in mobile health\, learning analytics\, and computational chemistry. His research has been recognized with paper awards at COLT 2005\, COLT 2011\, and AISTATS 2015. He received an NSF CAREER award in 2015 and a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2017.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundational Course Initiative (FCI) Seminar Series - Beyond Multiple Choice: Using Open-Ended Questions and Student Behavior Data to Promote Engagement and Understand Learning
DESCRIPTION:Large lecture courses often suffer from low participation. Many students are uncomfortable asking questions verbally during class. Using personal response systems\, e.g.\, i>clicker\, to ask multiple-choice (MC) questions is one technique often used to increase engagement in such courses. However\, using MC questions for formative assessment does not reveal the students’ reasoning. In this seminar\, we will discuss how allowing anonymous\, digital questions increases participation dramatically and how including justification along with a MC answer can uncover misconceptions. In the second half of the session\, we will engage in discussion about available student data for your courses and other data you’d like to be able to collect. Then\, we’ll consider what you might do with the data and how we can expand the community of instructors who are using student behavior data to inform their teaching.\n\nLearning Objectives\n1. Participants will learn what measures of student behaviors in class are available.\n2. Participants will learn what measures of student background are available and what IRB approvals are needed.\n3. Participants will learn how these data can inform instructors and create opportunities for personalized feedback.\n\nRescheduled from February 9\, 2018.\nLunch provided

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Optimal Output Modification and Robust Control using Minimum Gain and the Large Gain Theorem
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Caverly\nDoctor of philosophy\nAerospace Engineering\n\nThe input-output properties of a system to be controlled play an important role in determining control strategies that can or should be applied\, as well as the achievable closed-loop performance.  Optimal output modification is a process in which the system output is modified in such a manner that the modified system has a desired input-output property and the modified output is as similar as possible to a specified desired output.  The first part of this dissertation develops linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based optimal output modification techniques to render a system minimum phase using parallel feedforward control or strictly positive real by linearly combining sensor measurements.\n\nAll mathematical models of physical systems are uncertain.  Robust control can provide a guarantee of closed-loop stability and/or performance of a system subject to uncertainty\, and is often performed using the well-known Small Gain Theorem.  The second part of this dissertation introduces the little-known Large Gain Theorem and establishes its use for robust control.  LMI-based robust controller synthesis methods using the Large Gain Theorem are presented and tested numerically on a robust control benchmark problem to demonstrate their practicality and ability to solve robust control problems that could not previously be solved.\n\nDoctoral Committee:\n\nCo-Chair: \nAssistant Professor James R.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum-Socioeconomic status and inhibitory control: Neural and environmental mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Brief description: Inhibitory control ability in childhood is related to broad life outcomes in adulthood\, even above and beyond IQ. On average\, children from low-SES backgrounds are known to perform worse on inhibitory control tasks than their high-SES peers before beginning kindergarten. The mechanisms underlying this SES-related difference are largely unknown. This question is further complicated by the issue of defining \"SES\"\; while there is some evidence that traditional SES variables like family income or maternal education could be driving this effect\, it is also possible that more downstream effects of SES\, such as living in a disadvantaged neighborhood\, are important as well. This presentation will focus on preliminary data from the Michigan Twins Neurogenetics Study (MTwiNS) study\, which utilizes recruitment methods that oversample for neighborhood disadvantage. This presentation will explore the mechanisms underlying the relationship between SES and inhibitory control. In particular\, it will focus on an investigation of the relationships between a behavioral inhibitory control measure\, a neural inhibitory control measure\, and different SES-related variables.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Provocative Display in and around Gottfried Benn's Morgue und andere Gedichte
DESCRIPTION:*pre-reading in English available on request*\n\nU-M Germanic Languages & Literatures Winter Colloquium\n\nFriday March  16\, 2018\n\n2:00-4:00 PM\n\nRoom 3308 Modern Languages Building\n\nPeter McIsaac's essay (available on request in advance) analyses Gottfried Benn’s 1912 Morgue und andere Gedichte (Morgue and other poems) in terms of exhibition. Beyond situating the poems alongside public displays of bodies in morgues and specimens and models used in medical schools and popular anatomy exhibitions of Benn’s day\, the essay also uses concepts from Mieke Bal’s Double Exposures to illuminate how the poems themselves operate in exhibitory terms. With this approach\, the Morgue poems become comprehensible as configurations of material objects that can be visited in the mind’s eye and that stand in critical relationship to popular exhibits and urban culture around 1900.\n\nPeter McIsaac is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. His most recent publication\, \"Medical Collections and Medical Education at the University of Michigan\,” appeared in the 2017 volume Object Lessons and the Formation of Knowledge. The University of Michigan Museums\, Libraries and Collections\, 1817–2017\, eds. Kerstin Barndt and Carla Sinopoli. His article \"'Es schmeckt nach Kino': Provocative Display and Gestures of Exposure in and around Gottfried Benn’s Morgue und andere Gedichte\" is forthcoming in German Studies Review.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminars | Constraints on Interacting Massive High Spins
DESCRIPTION:There seem to be no good examples of UV complete theories that have low-lying massive higher spin states isolated by a large gap\, despite the relative ease of constructing effective field theories describing such states.  We discuss constraints from analytic dispersion relations and subluminality of eikonal scattering that may help to explain this and provide insight into the possible interactions of massive higher spins.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:International Territorial Rights: An Institutional Account
DESCRIPTION:A state’s bundle of territorial rights includes an \"international\" territorial right.  This is the presumptive right of a state to a defined territorial space that other states (and international actors) have a duty to respect.  This international dimension of territorial rights is distinct from and prior to the more local aspects of territorial rights.  For instance\, a justification of a state’s jurisdictional authority over persons within its dominion does not by itself say why the state (or the political society it represents) has any international claim to the territory within which it exercises this authority.  Recent arguments for territorial rights invoke\, variously\, the right of individuals to a location in which to maintain conditions of justice\, the right of acquisition\, and the right of self-determination.  Contra these arguments and others\, I propose instead that a state’s international territorial right is ultimately an institutional right\, a right that is defined and sanctioned by the rules\, norms and practices of the global order.  This institutional account of international territorial rights has significant implications for our understanding of global justice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: An Inspection Model of Learning in Networks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe propose a tractable model of social learning on directed networks. Before adopting a new innovation (e.g. an electric cars)\, an agent sees the adoption decisions of her neighbors\, and then chooses whether to inspect the innovation to assess its quality. We characterize the learning dynamics of the unique equilibrium via a system of ODEs\, and investigate how learning depends on the network structure. In tree networks\, all direct and indirect links contribute to an agent's learning\; moreover\, one direct link is more valuable than an infinite chain of indirect links. But not all links are beneficial: An agent's learning decreases when her neighbors also learn from her\, and when her neighbors are linked to each other.

SUMMARY:Performance:LIFE ON THE SWERVE: Once Upon a Time Called Now!
DESCRIPTION:LIFE ON THE SWERVE: Once Upon a Time Called Now! is a show based on the performance methods of RHODESSA JONES & THE MEDEA PROJECT: Theater for Incarcerated Women/HIV Circle\, which are rooted in autobiographical theater and Greek myth. Ms. Jones will be accompanied by renown musician/composer\, Idris Ackamoor\, and long - time Medea actress\, Felicia Scaggs as they present a musically informed theatrical production.  There will be a Q & A/Discussion with Rhodessa Jones and accompanying performers after the show.  The Medea Project serves incarcerated\, formerly incarcerated\, and HIV + women and community members\, empowering them to heal their lives by connecting to the larger mythical fabric of the world's great stories linking their own stories to them.  Some of the themes in the presentation relate to issues of HIV\, addiction\, prison\, loss\, and recovery.  Myth involves the invocation of deities as well as primordial entities: these stories connect our individual lives to patterns of change\, transformation\, growth\, and power.\n\nTHE MEDEA PROJECT is a production of Cultural Odyssey\, which continues to develop original productions that demonstrate their vision of “ARTS AS SOCIAL ACTIVISM”. In 1989\, on the basis of material developed while conducting classes at the San Francisco County Jail\, Rhodessa Jones created “Big Butt Girls\, Hard Headed Women”\, a performance piece based on the lives of the incarcerated women she encountered. During the work’s creation\, Jones and jail officials were made aware of issues that were specific to female inmates\, such as guilt\, depression\, and self-loathing\, which arose in response to feelings of failure in the face of community. These issues directly contribute to recidivism among female offenders. Based on this observation\, Jones founded THE MEDEA PROJECT: THEATER FOR INCARCERATED WOMEN to explore whether an arts-based approach could help reduce the numbers of women returning to jail.\n\nIn 2008\, THE MEDEA PROJECT joined forces with University of California San Francisco’s Women’s HIV Clinic to create theater that explores what it means to be living with the virus in the twenty-first century. For the past seven years\, The Medea Project: HIV Circle has performed shows all around the United States\, sharing the Truth and the stories of what it means to be female and infected or affected.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Seismic Investigation of the Magma System beneath Laguna del Maule\, Chile
DESCRIPTION:The Laguna del Maule volcanic field\, straddling the Chile-Argentina border at 36° S\, is currently the subject of a multi-disciplinary collaborative investigation supported primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation Integrated Earth Systems program and the Observatorio Volcanológico de Los Andes del Sur (OVDAS) of SERNAGEOMIN. At least 50 post-glacial (younger than 20 ka) eruptions from more than two dozen vents encircling the 25x17 km lake basin have produced rhyodacitic-to-rhyolitic lava flows and ash deposits totaling > 30 km3\, suggesting that a large\, active\, silicic magma reservoir fuels this system. Since 2007\, GPS and InSAR geodesy reveal that Laguna del Maule has been experiencing rapid uplift at 20 to 25 cm/year centered within the ring of silicic vents. Moreover\, a deformed paleo-shoreline that has been 36Cl-dated implies magma-driven surface uplift of > 60 m and that growth of this large shallow reservoir has occurred over at least the past 9\,400 years. UW-Madison\, Cornell\, and OVDAS have deployed a seismic array covering ~450 km2 that surrounds the lake basin. The array consisted of 18 broadband stations in 2015\, and was enlarged to 47 stations in 2016 (37 broadband\, 10 short-period). The full array will remain in place until late March 2018. A variety of seismic studies are planned for the seismic array data\, including body-wave tomography\, surface-wave tomography\, attenuation tomography\, teleseismic tomography\, receiver function analysis\, seismic interferometry\, and focal mechanism and moment tensor determination. The main goals are to detect the magma chamber underlying Laguna del Maule\, characterize its dimensions and properties\, and assess the state of stress of the system.\n\nI will report on results from surface-wave tomography\, and compare them to the results from other geophysical techniques. Due to the small array aperture (~30 km) and the limited frequency range of usable ambient noise\, we combined three types of data for the surface-wave tomography: standard noise correlation analysis using pairs of stations within the array\, correlation of earthquake coda at pairs of array stations\, and differential dispersion for ambient noise for pairs of array stations correlated with remote stations. Somewhat unexpectedly\, the Vs image shows evidence of a strong upper crustal low velocity anomaly along the southwest side of the lake\, which does not extend under the entire lake basin. Depending on how the boundaries of the low-Vs anomaly are defined\, we obtain estimates of ~25 to ~400 km3\, and melt percentages of 5% to 8%. The position of the anomalous body is very close to the estimated source area for the uplift measured by InSAR and GPS. A Bouguer gravity low\, interpreted to reflect the magma reservoir\, is observed in the same area. In contrast\, magnetotelluric results image a large low-resistivity zone near the north side of the lake and much smaller anomalies elsewhere.\n\nRecent fluid dynamic models of bubble migration and accumulation have shown that volatiles can provide a mechanism whereby basaltic magma recharge could catalyze the eruption of rhyolite without imparting a substantial thermal or physical signature on the erupted lavas. This leads to the idea that during the Holocene\, rhyolitic magma batches have been repeatedly extracted from a broad spatial footprint beneath the lake basin\, but the magma batches that have fed the individual eruptions were likely of relatively modest volume\, comparable to the geophysical results.

In 2015\, the Obama Administration mandated evidence-based\, non-punitive homelessness policy approaches. However\, municipal policies vary widely\, ranging from providing healthcare and housing services to criminalizing homelessness. Criminalization policies perpetuate homelessness and incur high costs. Housing and healthcare is most effective and reduces costs compared to\ncriminalization. Why do municipalities approach chronic-homelessness so differently\, despite federal action and programmatic costs? This dissertation applies a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design to understand municipal characteristics associated with disparate policy outcomes and explain the effects of intergovernmental relations and social constructions of the homeless on municipal policy decision-making.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Title:“Dynamics of Translation”
DESCRIPTION:Translation of proteins by the ribosome is intrinsically dynamic\, involving specific assembly of ribosomes on an mRNA\, elongation of the polypeptide chain through directional movement on that mRNA\, and subsequent termination and recycling of the subunits. We have developed single-molecule approaches\, combined with structural methods\, to provide a real time view of translation and its control. We will show how translation elongation is controlled by RNA structure\, nascent peptides and drugs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Winter 2018 Colloquium- Alexandra D'Arcy ~ University of Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on findings from dialect acquisition\, historical linguistics\, and variationist sociolinguistics\, this talk addresses one of the most long-standing and central questions in the study of language change: How does change advance across successive generations of speakers? Past research has engaged in post-hoc theorizing about the continuous advancement of change but it has never addressed it directly. Because children must speak differently from their parents for any change to both survive and progress\, only real time observation of the same speakers can provide answers to this question. I introduce a project that explicitly sets out to observe the onset and early progression of change in order to track the diachronic evolution of specific linguistic features\, zeroing in on the period when children begin to participate in change by shifting their language model along an apparently pre-set direction of change.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASP Film Screening | Singing in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Aram and Virginia\, an Armenian couple from the diaspora\, transmit an ancestral tradition of chant which is in danger of disappearing to a troupe of European actors. During the process of creating a new play\, the couple takes the company on a trip to Anatolia (also known as Asia Minor\, bounded by the Black Sea to the north\, South Caucasus and Iran to the east\, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Aegean Sea and Sea of Marmara to the west) where the Armenian civilization has been destroyed. Along the way\, the questioning of the actors brings to the forefront the wealth of this culture: the chant becomes a language of creation and sharing\, the breath of life. It is a journey where the sounds\, the music\, the words\, the bodies and the cries impart a memory and a future.

SUMMARY:Performance:Stephen Kellogg
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade Massachusetts songwriter Stephen Kellogg has performed more than 1\,500 concerts in more than a dozen countries\, both solo and with a band. In 2013 he gave a TEDx Talk about job satisfaction. Recently on a tour of Europe\, SK (as fans often referto him) made a detour to play the Middle East\, Africa and an aircraft carrier for the Armed Forces. Upon returning to the USA\, he started his annual lyric writing campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer. At first glance none of this has anything to do with his music\, but Stephen would argue that \"it is the whole story. The music I make is a reflection of how I spend my time and what I care deeply about.\" His Americana-tinged\, sometimes folk\, often rock\, occasionally pop stylings can make Kellogg hard to define\, and his recent four-part album \"South\, West\, North\, East\" embraces the notion of genre-splitting to the fullest. CBS Radio has called Stephen Kellogg \"the best live act you've never seen\,\" and No Depression calls him \"the best songwriter you're not listening to.\" We think it's time to change this situation. Stephen Kellogg appeared on the Saturday night bill at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Performance:ASP Workshop | Evening Service and Musical Concert
DESCRIPTION:The evening will begin in the church sanctuary with the traditional Evening Service of the Armenian Apostolic Church\, the Yeregoyan Jamerkutyun\, which serves as a preparation for both the night ahead and for the following liturgical day. It includes the variable Hampartsi Sharagan\, a cycle of hymns associated with Psalm 120 (121)\, which begins with the incipit: “I lift up mine eyes to the mountains. From there my help will come.” \n    \nBy offering an Evening Service\, the participants in the workshop will be able to experience in action the liturgical music that many of the papers and presentations address the day before. The Evening Service will be offered by the priests and deacons of the St. John Armenian Church\, with the pastor Fr. Aren Jebejian presiding\, and participation by the choir director Dn. Rubik Mailian and guest vocalist Dr. Aram Kerovpyan. \n    \nAfter the Evening Service there will be a short concert and musical description by the renowned Armenian musician\, clarinetist Hachig Kazarian. Mr. Kazarian is a Julliard-trained musician with a Masters Degree in Ethnomusicology. He led the popular band the “Hye Tones” for many years\, and has played with John Berberian and Richard Hagopian\, among others. Mr. Kazarian will perform several Armenian songs\, including a demonstration of a “folk” song with musical patterns similar to the Hamparsi Sharagan. \n    \nThe evening will conclude with a round-table discussion on the state of Armenian music and the challenges of teaching various genres of Armenian music in the Diaspora. Participants will include Dr. Aram Kerovpyan\, Dn. Rubik Mailian\, and Hachig Kazarian.\n\nCaption: Paper · 416 ff. · 13.1 x 10 cm · Awendants\, Khizan in the Province Van · 1647. \n\nCredit: Utopia\, armarium codicum bibliophilorum\, Cod. 4: Armenian Hymnarium (Sharaknots) http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/list/one/utp/0004

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.
