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.

The relativistic plasma generated by intense laser pulses can generate many different forms of radiation. This radiation\, including X-rays\, has been studied intensively due to the numerous potential applications of these sources. For example\, for Homeland Security\, radiation sources are already utilized to detect dangerous materials and hidden items that threaten civil safety. Neutrons and THz radiation have been studied as candidates for next generation screening\, which may complement typical X-ray techniques. This thesis contains three experimental studies of high-power laser-plasma interactions as sources of radiation for Homeland Security applications\, especially at kilohertz repetition-rates using few-millijoule pulses.\nFirst\, a neutron generation experiment was conducted using a high repetition-rate laser system (1⁄2 kHz) at the University of Michigan. A heavy water (D2O) stream was\nirradiated by 40 fs pulses\, each containing a few millijoules of energy. Acceleration of deuterons (to E < 1 MeV) was achieved through plasma sheath acceleration. Ensuing DD\nnuclear fusion reactions\, in turn\, generated neutron fluxes of up to 105 s−1. In order to understand the neutron source characteristics\, deuteron spectra were measured with CR39 detectors and compared to particle-in-cell (PIC) relativistic plasma dynamics simulations. The neutron source characteristics were analyzed using various neutron detection techniques\, including Time-of-Flight measurements\, bubble detectors\, and neutron-capture gamma-ray measurements.\nSecond\, THz generation from laser filamentation in air was investigated. For security applications\, THz can complement X-ray scanning\, because THz can detect non- metallic materials and dangerous chemicals while not ionizing the sample. Even though there have been extensive studies on THz generation from laser filamentation processes\, the exact generation mechanisms are yet to be determined. In the thesis\, optimization of THz radiation using an adaptive optic with active feedback was demonstrated. Using the genetic algorithm\, the THz radiation was improved six-fold without the need for detailed knowledge of the mechanisms. In particular\, the use of a high repetition-rate laser system accelerated the optimization of the THz signal. Another strength of this optimization system is that it can enhance certain THz generation mechanisms depending on the experimental circumstances.\nLastly\, using a nanosecond pulsed high-power laser system (10 Hz)\, a long-range detection technique was developed detection of special nuclear materials. Although direct detection of radiation from nuclear materials can be defeated by radiation shielding\, leakage of radiation-ionized gases can provide an alternative indicator of the existence of nuclear materials. For instance\, in the presence of ionizing radiation\, the ratio of ionized nitrogen to neutral nitrogen would be higher than in no-source air-plasma conditions. By inducing an optical breakdown (plasma) near a sample’s position\, the ionization levels of the surrounding air were analyzed. To enhance the detection efficiency\, an adaptive-optic feedback system was introduced with this ratio as a figure-of-merit. This resulted in a 50 % enhancement in the spectral ratio of the nitrogen lines. In addition\, aerosol-initiated plasma spectra were distinguished from the original air-breakdown plasma\, as a step toward practical deployment.

Brower\, M.D.\, a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan (UM)\, is board-certified in both general and addiction psychiatry. He started the UM Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship Program in 1997\, which continues to train subspecialty physicians. He also co-founded UM Addiction Treatment Services (UMATS) and served as its first Executive Director from 2006-2016. He is a Fellow of both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Society of Addiction Medicine.\n\nThis lecture will define what is meant by addiction and substance use disorders as well as older\, out-of-vogue terms such as substance abuse and chemical dependency. Different models of addiction will be compared and contrasted such as the moral\, brain disease\, learning\, and self-medication models\, including their views of addiction causes and treatment.\n\nThis is the first of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction. The next lecture will be April 26. The title is Opioids in America: The Role of Surgery.

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 talk will analyze different kinds of complicity with racial violence and will defend a view of shared responsibility that goes beyond the bystander model. Working toward community responses that are both reparative and preventive\, I argue for a kind of political mobilization and resistance against racial violence that I term epistemic activism\, which consists in contestatory practices that disrupt complicity with damaging social imaginaries and with the distortions in social perception that hide patterns of racial violence and perpetuate the vulnerabilities of racial minorities. Epistemic activism will be discussed by analyzing photo activism and the activist practices of organizations such as the NAACP and of social movements such as Black Lives Matter.

However\, extremely low molar absorption coefficients of free Ln3+ require their sensitization by the “antenna effect” via appropriate chromophoric ligands in order to obtain a sufficient emission intensity. Therefore\, the design of highly luminescent Ln3+ compounds requires an optimization of the sensitization processes as well as the minimization of non-radiative deactivation mechanisms through overtones of high-energy vibrations\, charge-transfer states and back energy transfer. Moreover\, if Ln3+ coordination compounds are thought to be used in a specific application\, additional requirements such as water solubility\, biocompatibility\, low toxicity\, high thermodynamic stability and/or kinetic inertness for biological applications\, have to be taken into account. \nIn this presentation\, we will show the way from the design and synthesis to the use of highly luminescent lanthanide(III) coordination compounds emitting in the visible and the NIR ranges for biological applications. Particular attention will be given to the detailed analysis of photophysical properties in view of their possible rationalization. Ln3+-based small molecular complexes (polyaminocarboxylates\, metallacrowns)\, macromolecules (dendrimers)\, coordination polymers and nanomaterials will be discussed.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSvetlana Eliseeva (Centre Moleculaire Biophysique in Orleans\, France) UID:47220-10824750@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47220 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180416T095236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180419T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180419T173000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Minor in Writing ePortfolio Showcase DESCRIPTION:Students from Sweetland's Minor in Writing Gateway and Capstone classes present their e-portfolios.

She was celebrated\, yet adrift. Stranded\, even. What she felt at 22 was not what she felt at 12\, and the music Sierra Hull was writing and playing at home was different from the music she was making on stages. \"In some way\, I was needing to run from the thing that everybody thought I was being\,\" she says now\, at 24. Now\, after consulting with Krauss and with Béla Fleck (who says\, \" She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved\")\, she returns with the album \"Weighted Mind.\" Fleck served as producer\, and the album\, with 11 of its 12 songs written or co-written by Sierra\, is nothing like what we thought it would be. It is nothing like what we’ve heard before\, from anyone. It is singular and emphatic\, harmonious and dissonant. It is the realization of promise\, and the affirmation of individuality. Alison Krauss\, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history\, says of Sierra\, \"I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries.

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.

Complete conference information is available here: https://zainichistudies2018.wixsite.com/symposium\n\nTwo Days of Powerful Conversations\n\nThe symposium\, “The Poetics of Passing: Interrogating Self-Fashioning as the Other in Zainichi Cultural Production\,” seeks to illuminate “zainichi” as a locus for theorizing the notion of passing. Since Koreans and Japanese represent different ethnic groups that cannot be differentiated racially\, rethinking received notions of passing through an in-depth study of zainichi literary and visual narratives can help us further theorize hegemonic discourses on passing\, as well as the consequences\, effects\, means\, and strategies of passing (or not passing).\n\nThis two-day symposium will consist of four panels with 12 presenters\, 4 moderators\, and 8 discussants (detailed program here) together with an open discussion forum each day.\n\nCome join us!

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.

So it seems that moral philosophers ought to be in the business of providing arguments for moral and ethical convictions. But I have elsewhere argued that we should not expect to be able to provide arguments of the kind that philosophers paradigmatically make for our most central\, important or fundamental normative convictions. To put that another way\, we cannot reason to our fundamental moral or ethical commitments. However\, as I have also argued\, this should not lead us to conclude that we could not have reasons for such commitments. In this paper I attempt to make some progress towards a positive characterization of what it means to have reasons for an attitude that we cannot reason to by considering how we ideally come to adopt or acquire our normative convictions. I will argue that\, while we cannot be argued into fundamental normative commitments\, we can be educated into them. Moreover\, what distinguishes such an education from mere conditioning is sensitivity to the reasons or rational grounds for the commitments.

This group will not require preparation prior to the meetings. The format of the reading group will be a slow but deep dive into the Investigations by reading aloud and then discussing the book\, section by section. We hope to make it through 5 to 10 sections each meeting. After the discussion on a section dries up\, we’ll move to the next section until the hour and a half of the meeting is over. This design is meant to accommodate busy schedules\, and it also should be amenable to varying degrees of familiarity with the Investigations and Wittgenstein’s other work.\n\nOur first meeting will be next Friday (February 2) from 1:30-3:00pm. Location: Angell Hall 3184. All interested faculty\, staff\, and graduate students are welcome to attend. RSVP to Bryan Kim-Butler (bkimbutl@umich.edu) and Ben Mangrum (bmangrum@umich.edu). If you can’t make it for the first meeting but are interested\, please let us know and we’ll add you to the mailing list.\n\nWe'll bring photocopies of the sections likely to be read and discussed each meeting. However\, you’re also welcome to bring your own copy of the Investigations.

This talk will introduce first modelling approaches for coupled aeroelasticity and flight dynamics of very flexible aircraft. A medium-fidelity approach for nonlinear simulation and analysis\, based on geometrically-nonlinear beams and unsteady vortex-lattice aerodynamics\, will be introduced and exemplified in the study of the dynamics of solar-powered aircraft. Aerodynamic load control will be then demonstrated in two prototypical examples: first\, the response of a flexible vehicle in wake-vortex encounter will be investigated using a feedforward strategy for fast response\; second\, high improvements in the maneuverability of a very flexible flying wing will be demonstrated using predictive control with model updating. The latter is built on an original methodology for a nonlinear model reduction in structural dynamics\, which will be finally discussed.\n \nAbout the speaker... \n\nRafael Palacios is Reader in Aeronautics at Imperial College London. He is Aeronautical Engineer from Universidad Politécnica\, Madrid (1998)\, and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan (2005)\, which he attended first with a Fulbright and later with an FXB Fellowship. His PhD received the AIAA Foundation Orville and Wilbur Wright Graduate Award. His research is on computational methods in aeroservoelasticity and fluid-structure interactions\, with applications to nonlinear aeroelastic design and control of large offshore wind turbines and air vehicles. This work has been funded by the UK Research Council\, European Commission\, AFOSR\, QinetiQ and Airbus. Rafael is associate editor of Progress in Aerospace Sciences\, the Journal of Fluids and Structures\, and the Journal of Aircraft\, a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society\, and a member of the AIAA Structural Dynamics Technical Committee.

The field of Childhood Studies of the last decade has concentrated on modern childhood(s) and youth\, and has questioned the meanings that adults and governmental bodies attribute to children. For example\, universal characteristics\, such as “innocence\,” “incompetence\,” and “vulnerability\,” defining children and youth have been examined and challenged by scholars from a variety of fields\, who insist that “childhood”\, like ethnicity\, gender\, and class\, is a constructed social category. Pushing methodological boundaries to explore political\, historical\, cultural\, economic\, and social formations\, structures and contexts across time and place\, scholars have begun to consider children and youth as agents in their political and social environment rather than passive members of society. \n \n This workshop will initiate an inter-disciplinary conversation about Armenian childhood\, children\, and youth. The goal is to consider new perspectives\, methodologies\, and cross-disciplinary frameworks that will put Armenian Studies in conversation with Childhood Studies. We aim to bring together theoretical and methodological approaches along with empirical studies across disciplines that use childhood as a category of analysis and/or concentrate on children’s agencies and experiences in Armenian history\, politics\, society\, economy\, and culture. We see both childhood and youth as fluid categories and concepts that are subject to flexible interpretations and definitions.\n\nPhoto caption: Miss Harnack with a group of (Armenian) orphans\nCredit: Der Christliche Orient (Vol.15\, 1914) UID:47789-11012557@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47789 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Armenia,Humanities,Research LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 455 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180418T105513 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180420T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180420T170000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Picasso in Context DESCRIPTION:Many of our most well-known artists\, such as Picasso\, Matisse\, Modigliani in France\, and Klee and Kirschner in Germany\, drew inspiration from the art and artifacts of Africa. \n\nCome join us for a 2-session exploration of the arts of Africa – the first a slideshow/lecture\, the second\, a trip to the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art (UMMA) to view and discuss their wonderful Africa collection.

The group formed quickly and ended dramatically\, with multiple purges\, suspicion of FBI involvement\, and numerous interpersonal conflicts—most of which they wrote about in their newspaper. Now\, 50 years later\, they’re talking—and the IRB-exempt study has turned more problematic with legal and ethical complications of authorship and representation. In this presentation\, I offer some insights about the politics of voicing\, focusing in particular on the process of attempting to ethically and respectfully listen to and represent other’s stories.

A year later\, realizing that the influx of capital to the city was not contributing to an inclusive revival but to the profit of those already “fluent in the language of privilege\,” Tunde left the restaurant and moved to New Orleans. He now travels around the country holding dinners\, using food as a medium to have conversations about race\, equity\, and cultural values. Recently\, the Nigerian-born chef and writer has received national press for Saartj\, his lunch counter in New Orleans where white patrons were asked to pay $30 per plate and people of color were charged $12 per plate as a way to call attention to racial wealth disparity. Participants of color could “opt-in” to receive the profit redistribution. In Ann Arbor\, Tunde will host two private dinners for local residents and advocates concerned with equity and race\, and will offer food truck conversations for four nights.\n\nAt the Ann Arbor District Library\, artist and Stamps School Professor Rebekah Modrak (whose works\, such as Rethink Shinola\, critically intervene in consumption) will moderate a conversation with Tunde about his work as a chef\, his decision to use food as provocation\, the possibility of transforming consumptive acts through dinners and pop-up restaurants\, discriminatory development\, racial wealth disparity\, and the importance of self-determination in affecting the outcomes of your life and community.  \n\nTunde’s talk is co-sponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library\, The Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning\, and Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

This band as been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played.

The field of Childhood Studies of the last decade has concentrated on modern childhood(s) and youth\, and has questioned the meanings that adults and governmental bodies attribute to children. For example\, universal characteristics\, such as “innocence\,” “incompetence\,” and “vulnerability\,” defining children and youth have been examined and challenged by scholars from a variety of fields\, who insist that “childhood”\, like ethnicity\, gender\, and class\, is a constructed social category. Pushing methodological boundaries to explore political\, historical\, cultural\, economic\, and social formations\, structures and contexts across time and place\, scholars have begun to consider children and youth as agents in their political and social environment rather than passive members of society. \n \n This workshop will initiate an inter-disciplinary conversation about Armenian childhood\, children\, and youth. The goal is to consider new perspectives\, methodologies\, and cross-disciplinary frameworks that will put Armenian Studies in conversation with Childhood Studies. We aim to bring together theoretical and methodological approaches along with empirical studies across disciplines that use childhood as a category of analysis and/or concentrate on children’s agencies and experiences in Armenian history\, politics\, society\, economy\, and culture. We see both childhood and youth as fluid categories and concepts that are subject to flexible interpretations and definitions.\n\nPhoto caption: Miss Harnack with a group of (Armenian) orphans\nCredit: Der Christliche Orient (Vol.15\, 1914) UID:47789-11012558@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47789 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Armenia,Humanities,Research LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 455 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180411T131344 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180421T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180421T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. 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.

Complete conference information is available here: https://zainichistudies2018.wixsite.com/symposium\n\nTwo Days of Powerful Conversations\n\nThe symposium\, “The Poetics of Passing: Interrogating Self-Fashioning as the Other in Zainichi Cultural Production\,” seeks to illuminate “zainichi” as a locus for theorizing the notion of passing. Since Koreans and Japanese represent different ethnic groups that cannot be differentiated racially\, rethinking received notions of passing through an in-depth study of zainichi literary and visual narratives can help us further theorize hegemonic discourses on passing\, as well as the consequences\, effects\, means\, and strategies of passing (or not passing).\n\nThis two-day symposium will consist of four panels with 12 presenters\, 4 moderators\, and 8 discussants (detailed program here) together with an open discussion forum each day.\n\nCome join us!

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.

Within eight national forums and an initial 5-episode podcast series\, The Glimmerglass Festival will talk with industry professionals\, scholars\, students and patrons to further explore how an arts organization tackles social responsibility. Funding for BREAKING GLASS is provided by the Mellon Foundation and the Opera America Innovation Grant.\n\nIn this panel\, the U-M Gershwin Initiative hosts two creative teams from The Glimmerglass Festival opera company. Glimmerglass seeks to inspire conversations about race in opera. This means talking about issues that are bubbling beneath the surface of making art in the late 2000-teens. Pulling from contemporary writers and thinkers\, such as Michael Eric Dyson and Ta-Nehisi Coates among others\, we will explore whether white privilege or the traditionally white European institutional model dictate the means by which the African American\, or further\, the refugee cultural experience are theatrically absorbed. Additionally\, we explore the idea that an artist’s life work is predicated on an ‘elite system’ where the arts & sciences had the opportunity to flourish as a result of a system of oppression. These conversations will occur in a safe space\, but we want to expose the African American and refugee experiences and how the Euro-centric institution is changing to embrace a new social responsibility. Panelists will include Jeanine Tesori (composer of Blue)\, Tazewell Thompson (librettist and director of Blue)\, and Matthew Morrison (NYU)\, and U-M Professor Naomi André\, along with SMTD student performers coached by Professor Kathy Kelly.\n\nPaige Hernandez\, Stomping Grounds director and librettist\nPaige Hernandez is a multidisciplinary artist who is critically-acclaimed as a performer\, director\, choreographer and playwright.

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.

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.

John says\, “I wrote the title track ‘True In Time’ with Pete Kennedy. When Carrie Fisher and her mom\, Debbie Reynolds\, died within a day of each other I quoted lines from Paul Simon’s ‘Mother & Child Reunion’ song on Facebook—‘Oh I would not give you false hope on this strange and mournful day. But a mother and child reunion is only a motion away.’ Pete responded\, ‘Maybe all songs come true in time.’ Later he wrote\, ‘True in time sounds like a song’ and we proceeded to write the song long distance via the Internet.” Another special element is a pair of lost songs\, “Blues with A Rising Sun” and “Red Eye & Roses” both recovered by fan recordings that John felt found a place with his more recent compositions. The album was recorded “old school” with the musicians all playing together in one place\, and it's a lively\, immediate listening experience certain to find a treasured spot in the collection of long time fans. Fast Folk Music Cooperative co-founder Cliff Eberhardt\, who has shared many stages with John Gorka\, is special guest.

In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org UID:46372-12376522@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Education,Information and Technology,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180422T180020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180423T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180423T230000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Team Race National Qualifier DESCRIPTION:Qualifier for Team Race Nationals.

Her paper ducks are inspired by Korean wedding ducks – known for fertility and mating for life – and are built without an armature\; the hollow bodies are woven like baskets.
