Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US\; the Autumn\, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics\, including subtlety\, austerity and naturalness\, to her art practice in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm\, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water\; languid clouds drifting in azure skies\; mood indigo\; cobalt glass\; cerulean blue eyes\; sapphire cornflowers\; poignant music\, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature\, yet found in the largest things such as sea\, lake and sky\, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires\, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

The exhibit focuses on seven classic stories: Aladdin\, Alice in Wonderland\, Cinderella\, Hansel and Gretel\, the Little Mermaid\, Little Red Riding Hood\, and Peter Pan. Drawing on the rich collection of children’s literature in the Special Collections Research Center\, the books range from late nineteenth century editions to contemporary pop-up books. By showcasing different takes on each story\, the exhibit explores the variation in how these tales are told and illustrated.

For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

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.

Labeling such data is expensive and impractical\, making unsupervised learning an increasingly important field. Big data collections often have rich latent structure that statistical modeler is challenged to uncover. Bayesian hierarchical modeling is a particularly suitable approach for complex latent patterns. Graphical model formalism has been prominent in developing various procedures for inference in Bayesian models\, however the corresponding computational limits often fall behind the demands of the modern data sizes. In this thesis we develop new approaches for scalable approximate Bayesian inference. In particular\, our approaches are driven by the analysis of latent geometric structures induced by the models. \n Our specific contributions include the following. We develop full geometric recipe of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic model. Next\, we study several approaches for exploiting the latent geometry to first arrive at a fast weighted clustering procedure augmented with geometric corrections for topic inference\, and then a nonparametric approach based on the analysis of the concentration of mass and angular geometry of the topic simplex\, a convex polytope constructed by taking the convex hull of vertices representing the latent topics. Estimates produced by our methods are shown to be statistically consistent under some conditions. Finally\, we develop a series of models for temporal dynamics of the latent geometric structures where inference can be performed in online and distributed fashion. All our algorithms are evaluated with extensive experiments on simulated and real datasets\, culminating at a method several orders of magnitude faster than existing state-ofthe-art topic modeling approaches\, as demonstrated by experiments working with several million documents in a dozen minutes.

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.

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.

Depression in particular is a commonly occurring mental disorder. Research shows that comorbidity of smoking and depression are subject to feedback effects\, as depression is known to predict future smoking\, while smoking also predicts future depression. To date\, there has been little evidence on the health gains associated with interrupting this dynamic through interventions that target patients with depression. If implemented\, cessation treatment for smokers with depression could lead to even greater improvements to population health. However the population benefit of integrating cessation treatment into mental health care has not yet been estimated. I develop the first joint model of smoking and depression co-morbidity in the US\, projecting future patterns of smoking and depression through 2050.This model can analyze the independent and synergistic effects of intervention strategies on smoking\, depression\, and mortality outcomes.

In this talk\, I will describe our work on children’s acquisition of fractions as a case study in educational neuroscience. I will argue for a cognitive primitives account of fractions learning that integrates previously disparate findings from multiple disciplines. We propose that fractions knowledge builds on a “ratio processing system” (RPS) that allows us to perceive non-symbolic ratios—such as the relative length of two lines—even prior to formal fractions instruction. I will describe recent results from our cross-sequential study of children’s acquisition of fractions. We are longitudinally tracking two cohorts of children: 2nd graders (minimal fractions instruction)\, and 5th graders (extensive fractions instruction) for four years using a combination of standardized assessments\, cognitive measures and brain imaging. We have previously shown that adults’ non-symbolic RPS sensitivity correlates with formal math skills\, and find similar patterns in 5th\, but not 2nd graders. We have also shown that children as young as 2nd grade can accurately compare fractions and nonsymbolic ratios\, providing behavioral evidence for the RPS as young as age 8. In adults\, this same task leads to increased activation in shared regions of parietal cortex for symbolic fractions and nonsymbolic ratios. In 2nd graders\, consistent with the RPS account\, neural specialization is limited to non-symbolic ratios\, while in 5th graders\, emerging specializations for symbolic fractions partially overlap with non-symbolic RPS processing. These results demonstrate the value of a cross-disciplinary approach rather than focusing on one discipline in isolation. For example\, our results suggest that fractions instruction should attempt to more directly tap into nonsymbolic ratio understanding\, and screening for math learning difficulties should include RPS measures.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nAccording to the linguistic-savings hypothesis (Chen\, 2013)\, languages that grammatically associate the future and the present foster future-oriented behavior in terms of savings and other economic outcomes. Our study investigates this hypothesis between French and German speaking pupils in a bilingual region of Switzerland\, explicitly differentiating between the impact of language on exponential discounting and present bias. We find that French speakers are significantly more impatient than German speakers in the short run. In the long run\, however\, differences are less pronounced. Our evidence therefore suggests that language affects the degree of hyperbolic discounting and leads to less future oriented behavior mostly through increasing present-biasedness.

These reactions can be carried out at the metallic surface sites of heterogeneous electrocatalysts or via redox mediation at molecular electrocatalysts. Molecular catalysts yield readily to synthetic alteration of their redox properties and secondary coordination sphere\, permitting systematic tuning of their activity and selectivity. Similar control is difficult to achieve with heterogeneous electrocatalysts because they typically exhibit a distribution of active site geometries and local electronic structures\, which are recalcitrant to molecular-level synthetic modification. However\, metallic heterogeneous electrocatalysts benefit from a continuum of electronic states which distribute the redox burden of a multi-electron transformation\, enabling more efficient catalysis. We have developed a simple synthetic strategy for conjugating well-defined molecular catalyst active sites with the extended states of graphitic solids. Electrochemical and spectroscopic data indicate that these graphite-conjugated catalysts do not behave like their molecular analogs\, but rather as metallic active sites with molecular definition\, providing a unique bridge between the traditionally disparate fields of molecular and heterogeneous electrocatalysis.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nYogesh Surendranath (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) UID:49170-11386598@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49170 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180416T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Photon Search in Positron Annihilation at Cornell DESCRIPTION:Dark matter remains a tantalizing puzzle for particle physics and cosmology\, with profound implications for understanding the essential nature and evolution of our universe. Its average mass density in the universe is known with considerable and ever-improving precision\, yet extensive searches based on conventional explanations such as weakly interacting massive particles continue to yield null results. Newer alternative theories raise the possibility of low mass dark matter\, and in so doing open the possibility for discovery in unexplored parameter space\, using low-energy\, high-intensity experiments. The so-called “dark photon” is a plausible candidate\, capable of being produced in electromagnetic interactions such as electron-positron annihilation. \n\nWe have proposed the design and construction of a 6 GeV positron beam for fixed target experiments. It will become the highest intensity source of high energy positrons anywhere in the world\, providing a unique tool for research in particle- and nuclear-physics. Beam characteristics are optimized for dark matter search experiments that require positrons with high total beam delivery and limited instantaneous beam current. The facility will build on the capabilities of the existing synchrotron injector at Cornell University\, augmenting it with beam instrumentation to enable a slow spill of positrons by a resonant extraction mechanism. \n\nI will describe the dynamics of slow extraction of a high energy positron beam from the Cornell synchrotron\, and the experiment to search for a dark photon in electron-positron annihilation. \n UID:51832-12262915@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51832 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T082044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder.

The World at Home DESCRIPTION:The International Institute (II) recognizes that we live in a global world and understands the need to provide students with a truly international education. The II advocates this mission\, in part\, through its Experiential Learning Fund-designed to support faculty who wish to incorporate a hands-on international experience into an ongoing course\, group internship\, or academic program. From Tokyo to Kraków to Mexico City\, international experiences are paramount not only in preparing students to become active and informed global citizens but also in providing the training that enhances students' long-term career prospects. \n\nThis collaborative exhibition celebrates the impactful\, international experiences of the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\, made possible through the Experiential Learning Fund. We believe international engagement not only serves the students and faculty who participate\, but also the greater university community.

For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

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.

They often contain direct or disguised wishes and/or fears. In this class we will discuss typical dreams: the recurring dream\; the remembered dream of the past\; the “I’m not prepared” dream (e.g. taking the final exam\, but haven’t read the text).\n\nThe instructor will discuss dreams of some patients and invite class members (including himself) to bring their own.

Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

In traditional classification-based MVPA\, each class or label is modeled as having a unique spatial brain activity. Multi-Label classification is an emerging machine learning paradigm that can detect multiple classes\, that are not necessarily mutually exclusive\, in a single instance.\n\nFor this study\, we extend a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm\, a popular MVPA approach\, to a multi-label algorithm that can detect both left and right hand tapping tasks simultaneously. Participants performed four tasks in a blocked experiment design: rest\, right hand tapping\, left hand tapping\, and both hands tapping. We compare two training models with our multi-label data. One considers both hands tapping as a new class. The other considers both hands tapping as a positive instance of right and left hand tapping. Furthermore\, we investigate the effects of SVM parameters on our algorithm’s performance. Our results demonstrates the feasibility of using a multi-label paradigm for motor task fMRI data. We discuss the capabilities and limitations of our approach and the potential to generalize to other fMRI task-based applications. \n\nChair: Scott Peltier UID:51953-12321831@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51953 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180323T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exchanges: How We Got Here DESCRIPTION:Exchanges: How We Got Here\, the 2018 Stamps Senior Show\, features work in a range of media by graduating BA\, BFA\, and Interarts students at U-M’s Penny W.

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.

These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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.

With a specific focus on prepubertal girls\, there is only one option to preserve fertility and ovarian endocrine function after cancer treatment: ovarian tissue cryopreservation prior to treatment followed by autotransplantation when the patient is disease free and is ready to undergo puberty or have children. Unfortunately\, ovarian tissue in patients with blood borne cancers\, such as leukemia\, may carry cancer cells and present risks of cancer cell transfer. In response\, we have developed a hydrogel-based immune-isolating capsule that protects an allogeneic encapsulated ovarian tissue from immune cells\, allows diffusion of nutrients\, and promotes tissue survival and function. In this study\, we investigated whether the immune-isolating autograft-compatible capsule can prevent cancer cells present with the encapsulated ovarian tissue from escaping the capsule and invading the host tissues\, possibly causing cancer relapse. The tested conditions included two levels of encapsulated cancer cells in designs that varied hydrogel shell thickness\, core composition strength\, and multi-layered construction. These hydrogels were imaged to monitor cancer cell growth and migration through the capsule\, and tests for cell viability were conducted to confirm sufficient diffusivity of each design. Additionally\, follicle growth expansion with co-encapsulated cancer cells was measured to demonstrate functionality of the device as a suitable environment for tissue survival. By adding an extra layer to the outside of the original hydrogel\, the double shelled design was found to be successful in containing cancer cells for up to 34 days without compromising the influx of nutrients necessary for survival. With finding a hydrogel design that successfully retains cancerous cells and facilitates follicle growth\, the prospect of utilizing immune-isolating hydrogels as a fertility preservation option for childhood cancer survivors is increasingly promising. \n\nChair: Ariella Shikanov UID:51952-12321830@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51952 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Gerstacker Building - 1117 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191209T094000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

Over 30 million US adults suffer from osteoarthritis and for those whose condition is localized in the TMJ\, tissue engineering studies and treatment are limited. With a better understanding of the crosstalk between cell microenvironment and BMP signaling\, design of cartilage regeneration strategies for injured/diseased craniofacial joints can be improved. To investigate this interaction\, we studied the chondrogenesis of NCCs with constitutively active BMPR1a receptors in a novel biosynthetic stem cell niche with tunable stiffness and pre-chondrocyte ECM ligand presentation. To reveal how a controlled variation of the microenvironment affects BMP-mediated chondrogenesis\, we encapsulated NCCs in 7kPa and 30kPa PEG hydrogels to determine the effect of microenvironmental stiffness chondrogenesis of NCCs mediated by the BMPR1a receptor.\n \nChair: Rhima Coleman\, Ph.D. UID:51951-12321829@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51951 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

DESCRIPTION: Understanding nanoscale protein dynamics at interfaces is crucial for topics ranging from disease inception and drug delivery to separations science. Recent efforts by our group and others have shown the promise of applying single molecule methods to link mechanistic detail about protein adsorptions to macroscale observables. When we study one molecule at a time\, we eliminate ensemble averaging\, thereby accessing any underlying complexity. However\, we must develop new methods to increase information content in the resulting low density and low signal-to-noise data and to improve space and time resolution. \n\nI will highlight recent advances in super-resolution microscopy for quantifying the physics and chemistry that occur between target proteins and stationary phase supports during chromatographic separations. My discussion will concentrate on the newfound ability of super-resolved single protein spectroscopy to inform theoretical parameters via quantification of adsorption-desorption dynamics\, protein unfolding\, and nano-confined transport. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChristy Landes (Rice University) UID:48445-11235884@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48445 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180129T111524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Pioneer Americanists DESCRIPTION:Join J.

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.

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.

These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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.

This additional design freedom provided by tow-steered composites have the potential to increase their structural performance relative to their conventional uniaxial fiber counterparts. One area of interest for application of these composites is in the design of flexible wing structures.\n\nHigh-fidelity aerostructural solvers have been proven effective for accurately capturing the trade-offs between relevant design disciplines for such aircraft. By complementing these solvers with gradient-based numerical optimization\, the maximum benefits offered by tow-steered structures can be quantified.\n\nIn this thesis\, several optimization studies are conducted to compare the performance of conventional and tow-steered composite wings. When minimizing the fuel burn of a Boeing-777-type aircraft\, tow steering is found to offer up to 2.3% in fuel savings relative to an optimized conventional composite wing. The trade-off between structural weight and fuel burn performance is then explored through a Pareto front study. In this study\, it is found that when wing planform is free to vary\, tow-steering offers improvements of up to 1.5% and 1.6% in aircraft fuel burn and structural weight\, respectively\, depending on the design objective.\n\n\nDissertation Committee Names:\nChair: Prof. Joaquim R.

At a point in their career where most artists would be looking to strategically position themselves for even greater commercial success\, they instead turned to artistic expression in service of the muse. In chaotic times when honesty is in short supply and ulterior motives seem to always be at play\, The Wood Brothers put faith in themselves and ultimately their audience by writing and recording a collection of songs that is honest and pure. As they sing on the album’s title track: \"Rather die hungry / than feasting on lies / Give me one drop of truth / I cannot deny.\" It’s the freest album we’ve done\, the most independent album we’ve done\, and was the most fun we’ve ever had making a record\,\" says brother Oliver Wood. Indeed the album dives headfirst into a deep wellspring of sounds\, styles and influences. Whereas their previous outings have often followed a conceptual and sonic through-line\, here the long-standing trio featuring brothers Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix treat each song as if it were its own short film. The plaintive\, country-folk of the album’s opening track “River Takes The Town” gives way to the The Band-esque Americana soul of “Happiness Jones.” The wistful ballad “Strange As It Seems” floats on a cloud of stream of consciousness\, standing in stark contrast to “Sky High”—a Saturday night barnburner built upon stinging slide guitar funk. “Seasick Emotions” is rife with turmoil\, yet “Sparking Wine” is jaunty and carefree. The end result is undeniably The Wood Brothers’ most dynamic recording to date.

Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.
