SUMMARY:Performance:Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Ruhl's EURYDICE\, a contemporary adaptation of a renowned Greek myth\, tells the story of Eurydice\, a young woman hopelessly in love with her husband Orpheus\, who is proclaimed to be the greatest musician of all time. When a mysterious stranger attempts to seduce Eurydice\, she is led down a terrifying and confusing rabbit hole to the Underworld\; she's dead\, leaving Orpheus behind. While Eurydice embraces a reunion with her Father in the Underworld\, Orpheus becomes determined to bring his wife and one true love back from the Underworld. The task he faces presents more challenges than he could expect\, and Eurydice begins to wonder if returning to the real world is what she wants.

SUMMARY:Performance:Faculty Theatre Performance: Malcolm Tulip *CANCELED*
DESCRIPTION:*These performances have been canceled*\n\nWritten and performed by Malcolm Tulip\nSound design and performance by Cy Tulip\nVideo design by Jeromy Hopgood\nSet design by Vincent Mountain\nCostume design by Christianne Myers\n\nIn 2017 Prof. Malcolm Tulip came across a book of anagrammatic poetry by the German Surrealist artist Unica Zürn (1916-1970) and a journey into her writings\, art works\, and life followed. As he became hypnotized by the vivid life force of her work memories\, real and imagined\, from his own life were released. Encouraged by Zürn’s creative strategies as well as playwright Charles L. Mee’s intuitive text/image assemblage approach\, Tulip brings together seemingly disparate fragments of text and imagery to conjure a new hybrid autobiography. Texts from multiple and contrary sources live side by side. The friction between apparent non-sequiturs fire the imagination\; more closely resembling our brain activity with collisions of past\, present\, tangible\, and subconscious events that constantly fight to be seen and heard. \n\nMade possible with the generous support of the U-M Office of Research\, the Center for World Performance Studies\, SMTD\, the Department of Theatre & Drama\, and Trinosophes\, Detroit.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nThe modern renaissance of folk music began when John Gorka won the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk award in 1984\, and it grew to maturity when he released his debut album\, \"I Know\,\" three years later. Here was a singer-songwriter with a striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life\, with the songwriting chops to take on and see into nearly every type of song—from personal pieces about love and sadness\, to bemused observations about daily life\, political thinking-aloud\, and sheer unmitigated whimsy. Three and a half decades later\, John still calls himself an aspiring folksinger\, and his music has just kept getting deeper and better over his 15 critically acclaimed albums. John isn't on the road as much as he used to be\, so don't miss this chance to catch a folk classic.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Football & Pets: Paper Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit of Steve Wirtz’ sculptures features a selection of his Dynamic Football series and animal works. The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1                                                                       \n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists
DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WiAn: White Garden With White Noise
DESCRIPTION:October 5 - November 2\, 2019\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 4\, 6-8 pm\nCenter Galleries at the College for Creative Studies\, Detroit\n\nWiAn: White Garden With White Noise is co-presented by Center Galleries and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice
DESCRIPTION:In September 2019\, the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Walter Oltmann
DESCRIPTION:Infant Skull II\, a woven “tapestry” made out of very fine aluminum wire\, only reveals its shape when seen from afar. Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/

SUMMARY:Other:Saturday Sampler Tour | Newberry Hall and the Tiffany Window
DESCRIPTION:\"I've always wondered what was in this building\" is a common refrain from visitors to the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. Completed in 1891\, Newberry Hall is one of the oldest buildings on the University of Michigan campus. Join us on a guided walk through this Richardsonian Romanesque building and learn about its architecture and fascinating history.\n\nThe highlight of the tour is an up-close view of the glorious Tiffany stained-glass window in the Kelsey Museum library. Julia Truettner\, U-M preservationist and building historian\, describes the window as follows:\n\n\"The Fox memorial window utilizes many kinds of glass\, including roundels and chunks or nuggets\, as well as plated layers\, to produce a range of colors from rich claret and deep sapphire to greens\, golds\, and lighter shades of pinks\, yellows\, and blues. The abstract design incorporates not only geometric forms but also floral and vegetable motifs\, such as the green pods around the perimeter and the petal-like forms at the bottom\, which embrace the panels naming the honorees. These forms\, plus the medallion at the top with its floral images surrounded by roundels\, hint at Tiffany's coming mastery of landscape\, figural\, and ecclesiastical designs.\"\n\nSpace on the tour is limited to 30 participants. Please register by emailing cperson@umich.edu.\n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please call the Kelsey at 734-764-9304 at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jay Ungar & Molly Mason
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark.\nPeople all over the world think of the haunting \"Ashokan Farewell\,\" from the Ken Burns PBS series The Civil War\, as an American folk song. But it's actually the creation of fiddler Jay Ungar and guitarist Molly Mason\, musical partners since the 1970s and a marital duo since 1991. And \"Ashokan Farewell\" is just a small part of what they do. Listen to their timeless renditions of hard-driving Appalachian\, Cajun and Celtic fiddle tunes\, stirring Civil War classics\, sassy songs from the golden age of swing and country\, stunning waltzes\, and deeply moving original compositions—and you'll find a pair of musicians who put on a great show and have a lifelong love for the music they make. Says Geoffrey Himes of Amazon.com: \"Jay Ungar . . . is almost without peer as a composer of fiddle tunes. [He is] blessed with that rare knack for making his melodies move in ways that stir the listener's longings.\" Jay and Molly come to Michigan with a new release\, the score for the Western film \"The Divide.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Oil on Water: Painting on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1                                                                       \n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists
DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice
DESCRIPTION:In September 2019\, the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Walter Oltmann
DESCRIPTION:Infant Skull II\, a woven “tapestry” made out of very fine aluminum wire\, only reveals its shape when seen from afar. Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/

SUMMARY:Performance:Kelly Willis & Bruce Robinson
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark \nBruce Robinson and Kelly Willis\, both superb songwriters and treasures of the Texas alternative country scene\, joined forces personally when they married in 1996. They're parents of four children\, including a pair of twins. Bruce and Kelly have made classic albums separately\, and each one has put songs atop the country charts for others (including Bruce's heart-rending \"Travelin' Soldier\" for The Dixie Chicks). From time to time they join forces\, and their new collaboration\, \"Beautiful Lie\,\" has been earning raves. The music they make together has a strong traditionalist tint that evokes classic country dance halls and some of the great duets in country history\, duets like Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris who understood each other's every move. We haven't heard either Bruce or Kelly at The Ark for a while\, so this is a rare\, not-to-miss treat.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Football & Pets: Paper Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit of Steve Wirtz’ sculptures features a selection of his Dynamic Football series and animal works. The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Oil on Water: Painting on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics/IO & Public Finance Seminar: Targeting In-Kind Transfers Through Market Design: A Revealed Preference Analysis of Public Housing Allocation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nPublic housing benefits are rationed through waitlists. This paper argues that the range of allocation policies used across U.S. cities involves a trade-off between two policy objectives: maximizing welfare gains for tenants\, and targeting the most economically disadvantaged applicants. Using waitlist data from Cambridge\, MA\, I develop and estimate a model of public housing preferences in a setting where heterogeneous apartments are rationed through waiting time. Counterfactual simulations show that the preferred mechanism depends on social preferences for redistribution. However\, many cities use systems that would be suboptimal in Cambridge for any value of redistribution.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibition: Blood Underwater
DESCRIPTION:Water\, as a natural resource\, has been weaponized or made treacherous against people seeking safety and security. Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists
DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Indo-Pacific Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:This opportunity is open to Ford School students\, who will receive a separate sign up email. A light lunch will be served. \n\nMonday\, October 28: Indo-Pacific Diplomacy:What to Look for at the November 4 East Asia Summit in Bangkok\n\nThe South China Sea. The Korean Peninsula. Trade tensions. Myanmar’s Rakhine State and the plight of displaced persons from the Rohingya community. These are among the many diplomatic issues expected to be discussed by the 18 leaders from around the Indo-Pacific Region participating in the East Asia Summit (EAS) to be held in Thailand on November 4. Retired U.S. Ambassador Daniel Shields\, whose 33-year Foreign Service career in Southeast Asia\, China\, Japan\, and Washington included deep involvement in the 2013 EAS in Brunei and the 2017 EAS in the Philippines\, will share personal insights\, as an experienced diplomatic practitioner no longer speaking for the U.S. government\, on what to expect from the 2019 EAS.\n\nMonday\, November 4: After the Bangkok East Asia Summit: Prospects for Diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific\n\nJust as the East Asia Summit (EAS) in Bangkok concludes on November 4\, Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will offer his personal views\, not U.S. government policy positions\, on what just happened diplomatically in Bangkok and what lies ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific Region in 2020. One of the unique things about the EAS system is the importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) chair/host country. Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will look at the transition from Thai chairmanship in 2019 to Vietnamese chairmanship in 2020. He will analyze what that might mean with regard to the South China Sea\, trade uncertainties and other challenges that lie ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific in 2020.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nAmbassador (Ret.) Daniel Shields consults\, teaches courses and conducts simulations relating to diplomacy and U.S.-Asia relations. From 2015-18\, while on detail from the U.S. State Department as the Diplomatic Advisor to the Commandant at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle\, Pennsylvania\, he helped educate future strategic leaders on how to integrate the diplomatic\, informational\, military and economic (DIME) instruments of power to achieve national security objectives. He served as the U.S. Ambassador to Brunei from 2011-14\, handling sensitive South China Sea-related issues in connection with Brunei’s hosting in 2013 of the various Summits involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Ambassador (Ret.) Shields led two other U.S. diplomatic Missions in Southeast Asia as Chargé d’Affaires (at times when no Ambassador was in place.) In response to an urgent request from the State Department\, he temporarily left the Army War College for six months in 2017 to serve as the Chargé at the U.S. Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta\, traveling to Manila to support participation by the President and Cabinet Secretaries in the ASEAN-related Summits. His other Chargé duty was for 15 months\, mainly in 2009\, when he led Embassy Singapore in supporting then-President Obama’s participation in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings.\n\nHis early to mid-career assignments were mainly in Japan and China\, including as Political Minister Counselor at Embassy Beijing from 2004-07. He speaks Japanese and Chinese. His first tour in the Foreign Service was as a Vice Consul at Embassy Manila from 1985-87\, where he witnessed firsthand and reported on the People Power demonstrations and the fall of the Marcos regime.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Complexity and shrouded attributes in incentive schemes: The case of the ratchet effect
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis paper shows that the impact of workplace incentive schemes can depend on the complexity of the scheme\, and also the cognitive ability of the worker population\, because these matter for whether certain features of the scheme are shrouded attributes. Specifically\, the findings indicate that complexity and bounded rationality can cause workers to overlook a dynamic aspect of workplace incentive contracts that would otherwise create perverse incentives to reduce effort\, the so-called ratchet effect. The findings are based on a combination of large-scale\, long-term field experiments within a warehouse\, online experiments conducted with the same worker population\, and online experiments conducted with workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk. The field experiments find only a weak ratchet effect. The online experiments build the case that for many workers\, particularly those with lower cognitive ability\, ratchet effects may be weak because in the relatively complex scheme\, the dynamic aspect of incentives is a shrouded attribute. Making the scheme simpler causes the ratchet effect to emerge. The evidence suggests that there may be an optimal degree of complexity that allows firms to harness static incentives while avoiding perverse dynamic incentives. A systematic analysis of what types of changes to the contract make the ratchet effect stronger or weaker provides findings with implications for incentive design as well as shedding light on the nature of complexity in general.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On the Peripheries of the Subaltern: Intersectional Identities and Internalized -isms
DESCRIPTION:Grounded in theoretical frameworks of “otherness\,” such as Spivak’s “subaltern” and Canagarajah’s “periphery\,” this workshop will explore the intersection of multiple identities which are simultaneously held by every individual.\nAfter participants engage in an exploration of these intersectional identities\, they will then analyze how biases—like colorism\, sexism\, ableism\, homophobia\, and xenophobia—can still be internalized within communities which are also marginalized.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff\, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/xm919.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:“Everybody Lies”
DESCRIPTION:Author Seth Stephens-Davidowitz\, a former Google data scientist\, lecturer at the Wharton Business School\, and NY Times opinion writer\, draws this conclusion in the title book. He analyzed data derived from bits of information left on Google\, social media\, dating\, and even porn sites\, that reveal people’s personal truths. \n\nHe maintains that Internet searches done in private and social media postings reveal what folks really think and that people lie to friends\, lovers\, surveys – even themselves. The author covers inner feelings on topics such as prejudice\, hate\, sex\, abortion\, how we fill our time\, our Facebook friends\, our communities\, and many other subjects. He then covers what Big Data does well\, does poorly\, and what it should and shouldn’t be used for. \n\nThis study group for those 50 and over  will read and discuss this book. The first session will cover the Foreward and Introduction (p. xi - 24).\n\nInstructor Gerry Lapidus has lead over 50 OLLI book discussion groups on topics such as social science\, politics\, and religion.\n\nThis study group will meet for two hours on Mondays from November 4 through December 16.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. South-South Relations in the Era of Far-Right Populism: The Syrian Refugee Crisis on Brazilian Television
DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n\nBrazil’s Arab and Arab-descended community\, numbering an estimated 7-10 million\, or 3.5-5% of the population\, has been quite visible in national life\, especially when compared to its counterpart in the United States\, which numbers 2.5-3.5 million\, or a mere 1% of the population. Since the early twentieth century\, the turco stereotype has been widespread in Brazilian literature and popular culture\, but in the immediate aftermath of 9/11\, television melodrama O Clone (The Clone) captured the nation’s attention with its depiction of Islam and Muslim immigrants in Brazil. Less than two decades later\, in April 2019\, and a few months after the election of a populist\, far-right president\, a new Brazilian telenovela focusing on Arabs debuted. Orfãos da terra (Orphans of the Earth) depicts the plight of mostly Syrian\, but also African and Haitian\, refugees fleeing civil wars and natural disasters to Brazil. This presentation will analyze the representation of the latest wave of Arab arrivals and compare it to earlier representations in the context of current cultural politics in Brazil. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nWaïl S. Hassan is Professor of Comparative Literature and English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the President of the American Comparative Literature Association. A specialist in modern Arabic literature and intellectual history\, he is the author of Tayeb Salih: Ideology and the Craft of Fiction (2003) and Immigrant Narratives: Orientalism and Cultural Translation in Arab American and Arab British Literature (2011). He has translated Abdelfattah Kilito’s Thou Shalt Not Speak My Language from Arabic into English (2008) and Alberto Mussa’s Lughz al-qāf from Portuguese into Arabic (2015)\; co-edited Approaches to Teaching the Works of Naguib Mahfouz (2012)\; and edited The Oxford Handbook of the Arab Novelistic Traditions (2017). He is currently working on two books\, one on the institution of Arabic literature in the U.S.\, and another on Arab literary and cultural relations with Brazil. \n\n-----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Documentary Screening “The Jewish Underground”
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1980s\, a network of right-wing settlers plotted to blow up the Dome of the Rock\, the oldest existing Islamic monument situated on the most volatile site in the Middle East\, the Temple Mount. Arrested in 1984 by the Israeli secret service Shin Bet\, the conspirators were found to be responsible for several other attacks against Palestinians\, including a series of car bomb attacks against West Bank mayors and schemes to blow-up civilian buses at rush-hour. Shai Gal’s documentary recounts the events surrounding their case and reveals the ties between the convicted plotters and leaders of the current Israeli government. Join us for a viewing and stay for a conversation with the documentary’s filmmaker\, Shai Gal\, and U-M’s director of screenwriting program\, Jim Burnstein.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Community Collaboration: A Locally Driven Approach to Estuarine Management
DESCRIPTION:How do you modernize coastal land use planning in a way that balances responsible economic development\, social interests\, and the protection of natural resources? This is a common question for many coastal states including Oregon\, where the management of the state's estuaries and surrounding shorelands is currently based on the economic and social drivers of the 1970s\, when local land use plans were developed.\n\nA diverse group of local stakeholders is collaborating to tackle this question for one Oregon estuary by: 1) compiling existing data to show current conditions and land uses within the estuary\; 2) gathering stakeholder input\, and land use and planning recommendations\, from a diverse collection of interest groups\; and 3) developing management options and detailed road maps for officials to use to update their land use plans.\n\nThis webinar will highlight the collaborative stakeholder engagement process that is driving this integrated assessment\, and provide a snapshot of the products and recommendations developed through this process.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Annual Bernard W. Agranoff Lectureship in Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:This annual lectureship features a pre-eminent neuroscientist and honors Bernard W. Agranoff\, a leader in biochemistry and an internationally recognized expert in the neurosciences. Dr. Agranoff is a graduate of the University of Michigan who returned as a faculty member in 1960. He served as the Director of Mental Health Research Institute (now known as the Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute) from 1985 to 1995 and was the Neuroscience Laboratory Building Director from 1983-2002. His scientific career helped establish that long-term memory formation requires de novo protein synthesis and also enhanced our understanding of the processes involved in nerve regeneration. The Lectureship builds upon a career dedicated to promoting excellence in research\, education\, and mental health care and is an enduring legacy to those seeking to improve our understanding of the brain and apply that knowledge to help those with brain disorders. \n\nDr. Richard Huganir is the 2019 Agranoff Lecturer. Dr. Huganir is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and Psychological and Brain Sciences and Director of the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His career has focused on synapses in the brain. His research has shown that the regulation of receptor function is a major mechanism for the regulation of neuronal excitability and connectivity in the brain and is critical for many higher brain processes\, including learning and memory\, and is a major determinant of behavior. Moreover\, dysregulation of these mechanisms underlies many neurological and psychiatric diseases including Alzheimer’s\, ALS\, schizophrenia\, autism\, intellectual disability\, PTSD as well as in chronic pain and drug addiction. Dr. Huganir is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the National Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Donia Human Rights Center Digital Artwork Presentation. \"Other People's Words\"
DESCRIPTION:Amira Hanafi works with language as a material\, assembling polyvocal archives connected to particular histories\, from which she then draws to make digital and print publications\, performances\, and installations. The artist will present her digital works 'We are fragmented' and 'A dictionary of the revolution\,' reflecting on some of the questions and complications that arise when assembling text from other people's voices.\n\n'We are fragmented' was made in response to research conducted in five countries by the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York. Researchers spoke with human rights defenders around issues of security and wellbeing. The artist was given access to a collection of fragmented transcriptions of these interviews and commissioned to make a work about them. At the time of making this work\, she was also completing the long-term project ‘A dictionary of the revolution\,’ an experiment in polyvocal story-telling of the 2011 uprising in Egypt and its aftermath. For the project\, she had collected over 200 hours of recorded conversation and woven transcriptions of this speech into 125 entries in ‘A dictionary’. Both works present new formats for reading through research\, based in intuition\, emotion\, and connection.\n\nBorn 1979 in the US\, Amira Hanafi has lived and worked in Cairo since 2010. Her work has been exhibited internationally\, most recently at Dokk1 Library in Aarhus\, Sodų 4 in Vilnius\, Studio XX in Montréal\, Flux Factory in New York\, and at the Lisbon Consortium in Portugal. Her texts have appeared in Ibraaz\, Matrix\, Makhzin\, Fence\, American Letters & Commentary\, and Index on Censorship\, among other publications. She is the author of the books Forgery and Minced English\, a number of limited edition artist’s books\, and several works of electronic literature\, including ‘A dictionary of the revolution\,’ which won the Public Library Prize for Electronic Literature 2019\, the New Media Writing Prize 2018\, and the Artraker Award for Changing the Narrative 2017. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2008) and a Bachelor of Political Science from Rutgers College (2000). \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu\, we'd be happy to help.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Exoplanet Systems as Laboratories for Planet Formation
DESCRIPTION:With knowledge of thousands of exoplanet systems from the NASA Kepler Mission\, we are closer than ever to understanding how planets form.  Patterns in exoplanet populations\, compositions\, and planetary system architectures are already revealing the most common outcomes of planet formation.  I will discuss how I use exoplanet systems as laboratories to test theories of planet formation.  My work ranges from characterizing broad patterns across many planetary systems to studying individual systems through their transits\, transit timing variations\, and radial velocities.  In the next ten years\, we will measure exoplanet multiplicities\, orbital periods\, masses\, radii\, eccentricities\, inclinations\, obliquities\, dynamical interactions\, atmospheric compositions\, and host star properties using a combination of ground-based and space telescopes.  These detailed observations of our exoplanet laboratories will allow us to place the solar system in its galactic context.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Working Things Out: Design-STS Transitions from Technical Formalization to Critical Imagination.
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the notion that the fields of design and science and technology studies (STS) offer distinct but mutually enriching traditions of research and practice\, and that at their nexus we may discover opportunities for critical and creative engagements with both technologies and the built environment. Drawing from the author’s recent efforts\, including media archaeological\, data-ethnographic\, historiographic\, and pedagogical explorations\, the talk will articulate ways to mobilize STS themes and methods towards questions of design — broadly understood to encompass a diversity of conceptual and practical approaches to the production of artificial environments. It will show what we may gain by\, on the one hand\, creating the conditions for technologies to be formulated inquisitively to interrogate or renegotiate sociotechnical relations and\, on the other\, cultivating an interpretive attitude construing digital environments and human-machine entanglements as new and exciting sites of sociotechnical inquiry in the processes of designing and making. The picture that emerges is one of design as both a crucial phenomenon by which to understand and a sociotechnical ecology by which to thoughtfully re-imagine\, intervene\, and explore.\n\nBio: Daniel Cardoso Llach is an architecture and design scholar working on social and historical aspects of automation in design\, the politics of representation and participation in software\, and new methods for visualizing design as a socio-technical phenomenon. His book Builders of the Vision: Software and the Imagination of Design (Routledge\, 2015) uses STS methods and themes to show how postwar era research on computer-aided design (CAD) and numerically controlled manufacturing shaped a technological imaginary of design shaping present-day architectural ideas and labors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The New Testament and Other Books: Mapping Christian Literature in Late Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:As leading Christians sought to define the New Testament in the fourth and later centuries\, they fashioned Christians as people\, not of a book\, the Bible\, but of multiple books. The purportedly closed list of New Testament books generated new categories of Christian literature\, such as “apocrypha” and “ecclesiastical writers\,” which still shape how we understand the literary legacy of pre-modern Christians.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor of the building.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Transformismo masculino: Drag King Performance in Post-Socialist Cuba
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I consider the work transformismo masculino (drag king performance) is doing during a time of social and economic transformation in post-socialist Cuba. Over the past ten years\, Cuba has witnessed the growth of a private economic sector dependent on tourism and the unfolding of a so-called “sexual revolution” aimed at combating homophobia and transphobia. Both of these reform movements have been criticized\, however\, for the lack of material gains experienced by women and Afrodescendants on the island. In response\, some independent projects have emerged that draw on histories of Afrofeminist and antiracist critique in Cuba to elaborate an Afroqueer social vision for the future. I examine the performances of Havana’s transformistas masculinas (drag kings) in this context to discuss how they critique normative masculinity\, create space for Black lesbian women\, and promote dignity for ordinary Cubans. This work\, along with the broader Afroqueer movement of which it is a part\, resonates with related artist-activism throughout the hemisphere that imagines social possibilities that go beyond the well-documented alliances between neoliberalism and LGBT rights.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 813 Seminar: Michael Krautmann\, MSE
DESCRIPTION:Proven medicines and technologies already exist to address many of the world's biggest health challenges. But these products are only effective when they can be reliably delivered to the patients who need them\, and in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)\, health product supply chains are not as efficient or reliable as they need to be. Patients and providers often lack access to quality\, affordable medicines\, and health outcomes suffer as a result.\n \nGovernments\, businesses\, multilateral agencies\, and nonprofits are all play a critical role in LMIC health supply chains\, but each have their own unique perspectives\, processes\, and goals. Improving supply chain performance in this context requires a systems thinking approach\, one that combines traditional logistics management and optimization techniques with a more holistic understanding of how to incentivize and align the actions of diverse organizations. \n \nIn this session we will explore the William Davidson Institute's work in improving LMIC health supply chain performance\, and will highlight lessons and experiences that are applicable in any complex health system environment.\n\nMichael Krautmann joined the William Davidson Institute's Healthcare Initiative in 2015. His research and consulting work focuses on modeling\, investment decisionmaking\, and strategy development to improve the operational efficiency and service levels of public health supply chains. While at WDI Michael has helped develop several Excel tools and white papers that inform key elements of the supply chain design and strategy development process. He has also conducted strategic evaluations of ongoing supply chain programs in several countries\, helping client organizations improve their approach for providing technical assistance and delivering health products. \n \nMichael holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan.  Prior to joining WDI\, he worked for Lean Care Solutions\, a healthcare technology startup that uses predictive analytics to help hospitals improve patient scheduling and postoperative care. He also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zambia\, where he helped evaluate clinic-level supply chain practices for a United States Agency for International Development-funded health project.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Brahman: Xenology in Amīr Khusrow’s Alexandrine Mirror
DESCRIPTION:The Persianate Studies Workshop is pleased to welcome Dr. Prashant Keshavmurthy\, who will be workshopping a paper titled “The Brahman: Xenology in Amīr Khusrow’s Alexandrine Mirror” on Monday\, November 4\, 5:00-7:00 PM in room 1022 South Thayer Building.\n\nKeshavmurthy's paper is part of a section of two or three chapters of a book he is writing on kinds of alterity in pre-modern Persian literature. The book explicates the logics of five key modes of alterity through encounters with which Persianate selfhood defined itself over the first millennium of Persian literature. Attending to these figures of foreignness lets us infer claims for the self through what the self expels\, fears\, desires\, deems ugly or appropriates. Conceived in five interlocking sections on the foreigner\, strange sexual practices\, the anthropology of barbarism\, linguistic barbarism and diasporic identity\, this book explores literary articulations of Persianate selfhood in multiple genres by putting into question modern studies that characterize pre-modern Persian literature in terms of confident humanist self-knowledge. \n\nKeshavmurthy is an Associate Professor of Persian Studies in McGill University’s Institute of Islamic Studies. He is the author of Persian Authorship and Canonicity in Late Mughal Delhi: Building an Ark (Routledge\, 2016)\, a monograph on the relations between poetics\, mysticism and politics in the works of the Persian poet ‘Abd al-Qādir Bidel (d.1720) and his circle. He teaches courses on Persian literature\, pre-modern Persianate literary theory\, and selfhood and autobiography in Islamic societies. He is currently making a verse translation into English of Amir Khusrow’s (d.1325)\, Persian romance\, Eight Paradises\, a translation into English prose of Daryoush Ashouri's widely acclaimed Nietzschean interpretation of Hāfiẓ\, ‘Irfān va rindi dar shi‘r-i Hāfiẓ (Tehran: Nashr-i markaz\, 2011) as well as working on a study of figures of foreignness in a millennium of pre-modern Persian literature. \n\nPlease email Shahla Farghadani (sfarghad@umich.edu) to receive a copy of the chapter in advance. Light refreshments will be served.\n\nThis workshop is co-sponsored by Middle East Studies and Comparative Literature. \n\nFor more information see: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/iranian-studies/blog/1029

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture in Music Education: Frank Michael Diaz\, Indiana University Jacobs School of Music
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness is the process of bringing a present-centered\, intentional\, and non-judgmental state of awareness to everyday experience. Emerging research suggests that practicing mindfulness may result in a number of beneficial outcomes for musicians\, including improved focus\, psychological resilience\, and pro-social feelings and behaviors. But what do we truly know about mindfulness and its potential to transform our life and work? How can we separate the hype from the reality\, and how might mindfulness fit into our already busy lives? In this talk\, Diaz will discuss the promises and perils of mindfulness from his perspective as teacher\, scholar\, and practitioner of this ancient practice. \n\nDiaz is associate professor of Music Education at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and an active scholar and teacher in the field of contemplative science. He is also affiliate faculty for IU’s Cognitive Science program and co-director of the Music and Mind Lab at Indiana. Diaz is the founder and director of the Institute for Mindfulness-Based Wellness and Pedagogy\, where he collaborates with an international group of artists\, educators\, and scholars on disseminating research and best practices on the art of mindful living\, teaching\, and performance. Along with his work on mindfulness\, Diaz maintains an active schedule as a performer\, conductor\, adjudicator\, and clinician. His work on mindfulness has been published in top-tier music education and music psychology journals\, and has been featured on NPR\, The Huffington Post\, and other local and national media outlets.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/
