Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal, glass and stone. In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear, molten glass, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

Most members of Paradigm art quilt group are professional artists based in southeast Michigan who create work, teach and lecture. Although most of their artwork is textile based, members use many different techniques. The theme of this exhibit is Inspired, and the art quilts on display incorporate elements of assemblage, collage and painting. The exhibit showcases the round robin approach that guided the creation of the work: the first artist made something which inspired the work of the second artist, which inspired the work of the third artist, and so on. A brief statement about the inspiration is included with each piece.

Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings, Mystery Train, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

she was here, once (January 29, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875148@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 8:00am

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

The lap, worn around the waist, is the uniform of the African dancer. At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors, textures, and patterns. Whine, Werk, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.

The installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired, in part, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s "Flying Circus" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.

About David Opdyke:
David Opdyke is a draughtsman, sculptor, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady, NY in 1969, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive, decaying factories, an empty interstate loop, and unemployment were downtown; new streets, expensive homes, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.

For 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations, his artwork explores globalization, consumerism, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (January 29, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53718 53718-13452798@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 11:00am

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.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

“Controlling Electrochemistry using Electrolyte Design”

ABSTRACT
To accelerate the electrification of transport, batteries based on a lithium metal anode and an oxygen/sulfur-based cathode with high energy densities have elicited great interest. However, electrolyte selection and degradation has limited the maximal energy that can be extracted, and reduced cycle life. In this talk, I will discuss my work on developing small molecule and polymer-based composite electrolytes that can decouple instability from ionic transport. I show novel ionic transport processes within these electrolyte architectures, and their ability to control electrochemical reactions at both the negative and positive electrode surfaces. Firstly, a gel polymer electrolyte is designed to control the oxygen reduction pathway in a lithium-air battery, and secondly, a small molecule electrolyte mixture is designed to reduce the overpotentials required for lithium metal deposition and stripping. Using the electrolyte to control electrochemical reactions provides an additional knob for the design of high energy density systems.


SHORT BIO
Chibueze Amanchukwu is a TomKat Center Postdoctoral Fellow in Sustainable Energy at Stanford University. His expertise involves the study of ionic transport processes in electrolytes for energy storage applications.

Brain Extracellular Matrix: Not Just Fluffy Filler

Neurons and glia don’t just float in empty space; like all other organs, the brain contains a complex meshwork of sugars and proteins known as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Understanding how brain ECM contributes to neural functioning, disease states and animal behaviours is a growing field of research, and one that holds a great deal of therapeutic potential. This talk will briefly cover the history of brain ECM work, explain how brain ECM can contribute to cognitive and anxiety-like behaviours, and give insight into this relatively understudied but important biological substrate.

The "Tārīkh-i Ḥamīdī of Mullah Mūsa Sayrāmī" (1836-1917) is celebrated as a monument of Uyghur literature and the preeminent Muslim history of nineteenth-century Xinjiang (East Turkestan). Sayrāmī's work is also layered, polyvocal text, and one that best recontextualization and rereading through different analytical approaches. This talk will explore the Tārīkh-i Ḥamīdī both in terms of its interaction with other Muslim and Chinese sources and as a colonial, transcultural text that advances insightful observations of Chinese power and new theories about its workings.

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

Meredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence, RI, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social, environmental, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

Organized By: Judaic Studies

This lecture will reassess Converso-Sephardi identities, especially in early modern Portugal. Stuczynski will explore the archeology of the term "men of the nation," as the Portuguese New Christians or Conversos were named, by searching its chronological appearance, function, and semantic field. He will also discuss the extant lists of Converso "pardon tax payers" and those who tried to prove their non-inclusion in these lists through dispensations in order to be dissociated from the "men of the nation" group. This lecture will analyze these sources in a way that attempts to change the way we perceive Converso identity. Instead of depicting it in passive terms of imposed and/or inherited ethnicity, or in loose terms of Converso memory, an analysis of the lists of tax pardon payers and documents of pardon dispensations implies an engaging construction of Converso identities Stuczynski calls: "negotiations of belonging."

AAOSA-OSUM Seminar: All-Fiber-Integrated Super-Continuum Sources with High Power in the Visible and Infrared Wavelengths from 0.47 to 12 𝜇m (January 29, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60438 60438-14886068@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building
Organized By: The Optics Society at the University of Michigan (OSUM)

All-fiber integrated super-continuum (SC) sources are described based on a platform architecture that can operate in the visible, near-infrared, short-wave infrared, mid-wave infrared and long-wave infrared, with demonstrated SC wavelengths ranging from 0.47 to 12 microns. Modulation instability initiated SC generation leads to a simple SC source with no moving parts and that uses off-the-shelf components from the mature telecommunications and fiber optics industry. The resulting light sources are basically a cascade of fibers pumped by fiber-pigtailed laser diodes and some drive and control electronics; thus, the SC sources have the potential to be cost-effective, compact and reliable. Starting from fused silica fibers, the SC spectrum can be extended to shorter or longer wavelengths by cascading fibers with appropriate dispersion and/or transparency. As one example, we demonstrate a long-wave infrared SC source that generates a continuous spectrum from 1.57 to 12 microns using a fiber cascade comprising fused silica fiber followed by ZBLAN fluoride fiber followed by sulfide fiber and, finally, a high-numerical-aperture selenide fiber. The time-averaged output power is 417 mW at 33% duty cycle, and we observe a near-diffraction-limit, single spatial-mode beam across the entire spectral range. A prototype is described that is based on a three-layer architecture with a form factor of 16.7”x10”x5.7” and that plugs into a standard wall plug. This SC prototype has been used in a number of field tests as the active illuminator for stand-off FTIR system over distances of 5 to 25m, thus enabling identification of targets or samples based on their chemical signature.

Many solitaries populate Charlotte Smith’s poems: perhaps the most famous are the hermits in her poem Beachy Head. In this talk, I follow Smith’s solitaries through the lonely landscapes of her poetry—along riverbanks, into caves, and finally into the sea—tracing how she repeatedly uses the image of the “shell” as a conceit for the poet’s lyre, in order to theorize lyric. Although Smith seems to emphasize solitude as singularity, I show how she makes supposedly singular voices multiple. Allusion, quotation, and self-quotation abound, constituting a playful, echoic poetics, in which the same lines are sometimes voiced by different characters, echoing across the distance between different texts. Her vision of loneliness questions the assumption that singular minds are constrained by singular bodies. Challenging our understanding of Romantic loneliness, Smith presents a model for how Romantic poets were lonely together.

Amelia Worsley is an Assistant Professor of English at Amherst College. Her current book project, Lonely Poets and their Publics: Being Alone Together in British Romantic Poetry, focuses on Mary Robinson, Charlotte Smith, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Robert Southey, and various abolition poets. She has also written articles about loneliness in Shakespeare, Milton, and D.W. Winnicott.

Stochastic Quantum Chemistry (SQC) is a new paradigm we developed for electronic structure and dynamics, which rewrites traditional quantum chemistry as stochastic averages, avoiding the steep power law scaling of traditional methods. As an example I will discuss Stochastic GW (SGW). The GW technique is known to achieve high accuracy, with only a 0.1-0.3 eV experiment-theory deviation for affinities and ionization energies. SGW reproduces the results of traditional deterministic GW for small systems, but also handles very large systems; as an example, we easily calculated affinities, charging energies, and photoelectron spectroscopy for Si clusters and Si and P platelets with up to 11000 valence electrons, for clusters with 40 thiophene molecules, and for periodic systems with very large supercells. These systems are significantly bigger than any calculable in existing approaches, so that SGW makes a quantum jump in the ability to calculate accurate electronic affinities and potential energies for large molecules. We will specifically discuss recent improvements in the algorithm and implementation which makes SGW superior to traditional techniques already for tetracene, and reduces experiment-theory deviations to ~0.1eV.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
Many of us want to work in organizations that enable us to draw on our unique perspectives to contribute and become our best work selves. Yet, sometimes our differences can make us feel uncomfortable, which can challenge our ability to engage with one another in healthy and productive ways. In this presentation, Creary will share a tool that she has developed from her research on multiple identities and helping at work that is designed to help people build more effective relationships across difference at work. The audience will have the opportunity to use the tool in real-time to create their own positive paths for making one particular work relationship across difference more effective.

About Creary:
Stephanie J. Creary, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Management at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. She is also an affiliated faculty member of Wharton People Analytics and a Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously, she was on the faculty of Cornell University. Prior to completing her PhD degree at the Boston College School of Management, she was a research associate at Harvard Business School and The Conference Board in NYC.

Creary’s research investigates how multiple identities, perspectives, and experiences are engaged and used in organizations to cultivate positive identities, improve the quality of relationships across difference, and promote change that is positive for organizations. She studies these dynamics in a variety of situations and organizational contexts including the development and implementation of corporate diversity and inclusion initiatives, career progression across demographic groups, socialization practices, and health care delivery.

She has published her research in leading management journals, co-authored several HBS case studies on leadership and diversity, written executive action reports on human capital for management audiences, and has won several research and teaching awards.

Host:
Jane Dutton, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations; Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Business Administration and Psychology

Sponsors:
The Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning, Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Kesselman, the founder of Aligned Investing Global, will discuss the current era of multi-sector solutions and whether it is here to stay. She also will talk about the power players behind this seismic shift from silos and mistrust to the current climate of collaboration. Kesselman will recount the development of the Millennium Development Goals, how they influenced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – a universal call to action by the United Nations to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity – and how businesses should respond.

POSTPONED: The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents Lecture: Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez, "PRACTICE or Holding Space for ______." (January 29, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59381 59381-14912638@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Due to severe winter weather, the University of Michigan has declared an emergency reduction in operations beginning 12:00 am Wednesday, January 30 and extending through 7:00 am Friday, February 1. All classes and events are cancelled for this period. As such, the Thursday, January 31 Penny Stamps Speaker Series Talk with Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez has been postponed. Additional details will be posted as they are available.

Amanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations, paintings, video, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar, and in the process, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors grantee, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.

Andres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line), a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Hernandez is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Initiative, and exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, IL. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is an Associate Professor.

Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal, glass and stone. In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear, molten glass, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings, Mystery Train, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.

The installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired, in part, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s "Flying Circus" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.

About David Opdyke:
David Opdyke is a draughtsman, sculptor, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady, NY in 1969, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive, decaying factories, an empty interstate loop, and unemployment were downtown; new streets, expensive homes, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.

For 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations, his artwork explores globalization, consumerism, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (January 30, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452851@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 11:00am

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity
Paul Rand was a giant of American design, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy, interest in modernist aesthetics, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters, book covers, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.

A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work
The story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs. Nagatani presents a narrative of Ryoichi’s archaeological work, supported by images of excavation sites, unearthed artifacts, and Ryoichi’s own journal pages. According to the photographs, Ryoichi discovered evidence of an automobile culture buried at sites across several continents: Stonehenge, the Grand Canyon, and a necropolis in China. This provocative and playful series compels viewers to reflect on how photographs and institutions, such as museums, shape our knowledge of the past and present.

HET Brown Bag Seminars | Testing Models of Dark Matter and Modifications to Gravity using Local Milky Way Observables (January 30, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60479 60479-14899147@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Randall Laboratory
Organized By: HET Brown Bag Series

Galactic rotation curves are often considered the first robust evidence for the existence of dark matter. However, even in the presence of a dark matter halo, other galactic-scale observations, such as the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation and the Radial Acceleration Relation, remain challenging to explain. This has motivated various models of dark matter as well as long-distance, infrared (IR) modifications to gravity as an alternative to the dark matter hypothesis. We present a framework to test a general class of such models using local Milky Way observables, including the vertical acceleration field, the rotation curve, the baryonic surface density, and the stellar disk profile. In this talk I will focus on models that predict scalar amplifications of gravity, i.e., models that increase the magnitude but do not change the direction of the gravitational acceleration. MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) as well as superfluid dark matter are examples. We find that models of this type are in tension with observations of the Milky Way scale radius and bulge mass and that cold non-interacting dark matter provides a better fit to the data. We conclude that models that result in a MOND-like force struggle to simultaneously explain both the rotational velocity and vertical motion of nearby stars in the Milky Way. A future publication will extend this analysis to include other models such as Strongly Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM).

How did fighting men, high and low, cope with the reality of uncertainty, especially unpredictable human relations in the age of violence (14-16c)? By defining war beyond the battlefield to a more dynamic “war system,” we can see how the human anatomy’s most vital liquid, blood, became implicated in reorganizing the social and military landscape of the late medieval archipelago. The evolving practice of “keppan,” or “blood seal,” applied near or on one’s signature at the end of a document, promoted a sense of order for the warriors. The practice of keppan spread alongside the discourse of disembowelment, as did the gendered meaning that blood was acquiring.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Minority Serving Institutions have and continue to play an integral role in granting access, building knowledge, and empowering change that impacts both individuals and society. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, whose legacy we commemorate as a critical figure in the advancement of civil rights and social justice, is an alumnus of Morehouse College—an MSI. Implicit in Dr. King’s push for righteousness, peace, and justice was an immense desire to transform how a nation and ultimately the world engaged with one another. It is in this spirit that we frame this forum and engagement with Minority Serving Institutions—from transactional to transformational/transformative change. Featured speakers will provide a broad overview of the MSI landscape, share their experiences with developing relationships with MSIs, and share information on how to do an institutional self-assessment before seeking to partner with MSIs. This session will serve as the first in a series of forums that foster discussion on the socio-historical and contemporary state of MSIs, insights from U-M units with relationships with MSIs, and practical information and resources for engaging MSIs.
Pre-registration is required at https://myumi.ch/JgPe8.
Due to the expectedly low temperatures, Towards Transformative Change: Institutional Self-assessment and Relationship Building Between U-M and MSIs, scheduled for January 30 will be rescheduled for another date.

Organized By: University Library

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

Meredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence, RI, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social, environmental, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

Abstract: There is need for stand-alone systems for screening plants and seeds at production sites. I will discuss devel-opment of high throughput X-ray phase contrast plant imaging and screening using LWFA-based X-ray sources (30 keV-80 keV). This effort is an initiative led by the Global Institute for Food Security at the U of Saskatchewan to establish the correlation between the phenotypic expression of a plant and its adaptation to biotic and abiotic environmental stress. Intense hard X-ray beams (5-50 µJ/shot at 40 keV) are generated by maintaining the laser beam ultra-relativistic self-guiding over long gas jet (cm). I will describe experiments with our new laser facility (up to 7 J in 18 fs at 2.5Hz) and discuss empirical scaling laws correlating the X-ray photon number to the laser and gas jet parameters. High throughput X-ray phase contrast imaging and 3D tomography were realized with average X-ray power (40 keV) of 10 µW-50 µW. We demonstrated seeing very small transparent objects embedded in inhomogeneous and anisotropic thick environment (including soil). Our scaling indicates that with a 1 PW laser a 40 keV X-ray beam with a 1 mJ per shot can be produced and that 1 Gray/shot dose could be achieved in a bio-system.

About the Speaker: Jean Claude Kieffer is Professor at INRS since 1990 and fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He was Director of the INRS-EMT Center 2006 to 2011, and was the Canada Research Chair (Tier I) in ultrafast photonics from 2002 to 2016. He established in 2002 the Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) facility in Varennes (Qc), a Canadian National infrastructure. He is currently a member of the board of the Canadian Synchrotron and Science & Technology senior advisor for laser and optics for the President (M. Alain Rousset) of the Aquitaine Region Council (France). He is Vice President of the board of the Aquitaine technology transfer platform Alphanov (France). His research interests include plasma physics, ultrafast lasers, high intensity laser-matter interaction, particle acceleration and ultrafast x-ray sources and their societal applications. He manages the 600 TW short pulse laser (10J, 18fs) facility at INRS in Varennes. He is exploring the propagation of intense lasers in air for i) energy and wave guiding for homeland security and ii) remote environmental monitoring. He is also developing intense X-ray sources for Global Food Security.

2018-19 Tanner Lecture on Human Values: Concepts and Persons (January 30, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47518 47518-10940127@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Philosophy

***THIS EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE GRADUATE HOTEL TERRACE BALLROOM. IT WILL STILL OCCUR FROM 4PM TO 6PM.***

The 2018-2019 Tanner Lecture at the University of Michigan will be given by prominent anthropology professor Michael Lambek. This year's Tanner Lecture will discuss the consideration of conceptual error and its application towards both philosophy and anthropology. In addition, Lambek will reflect on the duality of metapersons—how they are simultaneously concepts and persons—and common category mistakes such as the simplification of concepts.

This event is free and open to the public.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Robert A. Coleman, PhD (Asst. Prof., Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology in the Gruss-Lipper Biophotonics Center at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine) will present the following abstract: Years of biochemical experiments have led to the identification of the eukaryotic transcription machinery and a static view of gene regulation. However, mechanisms controlling the dynamics of transcriptional regulation inside a crowded nucleus remains poorly understood. Recent advances in single molecule imaging have begun to shine light on these mechanisms, providing an unprecedented dynamic view of transcriptional regulation in live cells. We and others have found that transcription factors form dynamic hubs of activity in select nuclear compartments. I will discuss how formation of these hubs and recognition of genomic targets is regulated by interactions between transcription factors and the histone tails of chromatin. Transcription factors cycle on and off of their chromatin targets within these hubs on the order of seconds that likely reflect dynamic rates of chromatin remodeling, RNA Polymerase II convoy formation and transcriptional output of a gene. These findings are put into context describing how expression of the p21 cell cycle arrest gene is dynamically regulated by the tumor suppressor p53 protein and chromatin remodelers.

Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal, glass and stone. In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear, molten glass, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

The theme of this exhibit is Inspired, and the art quilts on display incorporate elements of assemblage, collage and painting. The exhibit showcases the round robin approach that guided the creation of the work: the first artist made something which inspired the work of the second artist, which inspired the work of the third artist, and so on. A brief statement about the inspiration is included with each piece.

Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings, Mystery Train, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

The lap, worn around the waist, is the uniform of the African dancer. At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors, textures, and patterns. Whine, Werk, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.

The installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired, in part, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s "Flying Circus" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.

About David Opdyke:
David Opdyke is a draughtsman, sculptor, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady, NY in 1969, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive, decaying factories, an empty interstate loop, and unemployment were downtown; new streets, expensive homes, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.

For 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations, his artwork explores globalization, consumerism, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

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.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity
Paul Rand was a giant of American design, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy, interest in modernist aesthetics, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters, book covers, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.

Nagatani presents a narrative of Ryoichi’s archaeological work, supported by images of excavation sites, unearthed artifacts, and Ryoichi’s own journal pages. According to the photographs, Ryoichi discovered evidence of an automobile culture buried at sites across several continents: Stonehenge, the Grand Canyon, and a necropolis in China. This provocative and playful series compels viewers to reflect on how photographs and institutions, such as museums, shape our knowledge of the past and present.

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

Meredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence, RI, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social, environmental, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

In March of 2018, The New York Times Book Review featured 15 novels by women that their critics see as “opening new realms to us, whose books suggest and embody unexplored possibilities in form, feeling and knowledge.” They say these books set the agenda for the 21st century. So the question for this class is: what does that agenda look like?
Before the first meeting I will send the NYT article to new participants so they can read the short reviews of each novel. Sharon Quiroz will indicate the six books we will read in Session I. At the first meeting of Session II, we will select the next set, to continue with our research question. We’ll read approximately 150 pages a week, so we can cover most novels in two to three weeks. We’ll have discussion, small group analysis in class, occasional lectures on style, structure, etc.
This study group for those 50 and over will meet for 90 minutes on Thursdays from January 31 through April 18.
Instructor Sharon Quiroz has a PhD. in English, has published poetry and short stories, and is currently working on her second novel while she tries to sell the first one.

Title: "New Perspectives in the Dynamics of African Easterly Waves"

Abstract: African Easterly waves are the main synoptic scale disturbances of the North African monsoon. They are also the primary precursors to tropical cyclones in the Atlantic. Many aspects of their origin, evolution and storm track structure are still poorly understood. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the basic properties of these disturbances and present some recent results from our group pertaining to their instability and coupling to precipitating convection.

"Solar System History via Near-Earth Asteroids (...and NASA's OSIRIS-REx Space Mission)"

We report on the current status and scientific results of NASA's OSIRIS-REx sample return mission that is visiting the B-type near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu. The spacecraft launched in September 2016, arrived at Bennu in December 2018 and will survey and study the asteroid until attempting to collect a sample in the summer of 2020 and return it to Earth in 2023. What will be learned from studying and sampling one near-Earth Asteroid?

Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) are transients that have escaped the Main Asteroid Belt and spend a paltry 10 Myr on planet-crossing orbits before hitting the Sun, a planet or getting ejected from the Solar System. All of the various taxonomic types of asteroids are represented amongst NEAs, but due to their chaotic orbits it is not possible to precisely retrace their history and determine where in the Main Asteroid Belt they came from. Furthermore, km-sized NEAs, are unlikely to have survived Solar System history intact and are expected to be reaccumulated remnants from a larger disrupted asteroid - they are often referred to as "rubble piles". In sum, any given small NEA comes from an unknown place and has an unknown parent asteroid and history. However, with Bennu, ultimately, returned samples from Bennu should clarify its history and evolution, and in the meantime its geology can reveal much of its history and shed light on its history in the Main Asteroid Belt.

Traumatic injuries and diseases of the motor system affect millions of people worldwide. In Europe alone, approximately 3 million people are affected by the consequences of spinal cord injury, stroke and multiple sclerosis, for a total estimated healthcare cost of 45 billion euros per year. Treatments for these conditions are needed to ease both their growing economic and societal impact. Recent advances in neurotechnologies and brain machine interfaces have prompted promising results in laboratory settings. However, none of these approaches translated into actual clinical solutions to motor paralysis. Specifically, the scarce knowledge on the mechanisms of neural control of movement hinder the design of effective neurotechnologies thus limiting their usability for people with severe disabilities. Here I show how I developed a computational and technological framework to understand how damaged neural circuits can adapt to use electrical stimulation inputs for correcting aberrant motor behaviors I then show how I used this knowledge to design and test novel neurotechnologies enhancing motor recovery after paralysis.

My translation of Hindi Dalit writer, Omprakash Valmiki’s autobiography, Joothan, was published by Samya in 2003. Columbia University Press bought the American rights for the book and appointed an editor to edit my translation. My talk will look at some of the changes the American editor made to my translation. As I discovered, by comparing the Indian and American version, the changes are multiple, and, from my perspective, diminish the beauty and the power of this major Dalit text. Comparing the two versions also brings out the sad fact that certain cultural contexts require an open mind that does not rush to judgment when challenged to move out of its ‘comfort zone.’

Chair's Distinguished Lecture Series - Programmable metamaterials for redirecting stress waves on the fly (January 31, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60541 60541-14908097@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 31, 2019 4:00pm

Osama R. Bilal, ETH Postdoctoral Fellow, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

Mechanical metamaterials are material systems with tailored, architected geometry, designed to retain static and dynamic properties that do not exist or rare in nature. This class of materials usually features a structural pattern that repeats spatially (i.e., unit cell). Most of the metamaterials properties are inscribed in the unit cell’s frequency dispersion spectrum, ranging form its stiffness at zero frequency to its wave attenuation capacity at finite frequencies. These metamaterials are well suited to provide new materials-based advances (through geometry rather than chemical composition) to both structural and acoustical engineering of aerospace vehicles and structures. These advances, for example, can range from sound and vibration insulation to flow control. A major challenge in metamaterials design is to engineer unit cells that have the ability to change their mechanical properties in a predetermined manner, within practical time frames. As a demonstration of principle, we harness geometric and magnetic nonlinearities to tune the metamaterials’ dispersion characteristics. We program our nonlinear metamaterial to redirect stress waves, on the fly, in a reversible and element-wise fashion.

POSTPONED: The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents Lecture: Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez, "PRACTICE or Holding Space for ______." (January 31, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59381 59381-14737050@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 31, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Due to severe winter weather, the University of Michigan has declared an emergency reduction in operations beginning 12:00 am Wednesday, January 30 and extending through 7:00 am Friday, February 1. All classes and events are cancelled for this period. As such, the Thursday, January 31 Penny Stamps Speaker Series Talk with Amanda Williams and Andres L. Hernandez has been postponed. Additional details will be posted as they are available.

Amanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations, paintings, video, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar, and in the process, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors grantee, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.

Andres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line), a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Hernandez is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Initiative, and exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, IL. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is an Associate Professor.

Oriol Sans, conductor

The University Philharmonia Orchestra will perform one of Tchaikovsky’s most beloved works: his Sixth Symphony. Premiered only one week before the composer’s death, the “Pathetique” symphony is memorable for its deeply melancholic musical expression and famed as one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. The first half of the concert will include the “March” and “Scherzo” from The Love for Three Oranges, two excerpts from Prokofiev's satirical opera of the same title, along with a truly innovative work from Mozart, impressively composed within days during his time in Linz: his spirited and exuberant Symphony 36.

PROGRAM: Prokofiev- “March” and “Scherzo” from The Love for Three Oranges; Mozart- Symphony No. 36 "Linz"; Tchaikovsky- Symphony No. 6 "Pathetique"

Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal, glass and stone. In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear, molten glass, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

The exhibit showcases the round robin approach that guided the creation of the work: the first artist made something which inspired the work of the second artist, which inspired the work of the third artist, and so on. A brief statement about the inspiration is included with each piece.

Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings, Mystery Train, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

The Yankee Air Museum dedicates itself to educating individuals about the history of US military aviation. Located at the historic Willow Run Airport, just east of Ann Arbor, where over 8,600 B-24 Liberator Bomber aircraft were produced during World War II, the Yankee Air Museum seeks to keep the history of the ‘Arsenal of Democracy’ alive. The Willow Run Bomber Plant is home to ‘Rosie the Riveter,’ the iconic symbol of the thousands of women who poured into industrial factories to help the war effort during WWII. This exhibition features unique artifacts from the US home-front, the Willow Run Bomber Plant, and local WWII aviators from Ann Arbor.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

The lap, worn around the waist, is the uniform of the African dancer. At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors, textures, and patterns. Whine, Werk, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (February 1, 2019 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960771@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 1, 2019 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.

The installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired, in part, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s "Flying Circus" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.

About David Opdyke:
David Opdyke is a draughtsman, sculptor, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady, NY in 1969, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive, decaying factories, an empty interstate loop, and unemployment were downtown; new streets, expensive homes, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.

For 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations, his artwork explores globalization, consumerism, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (February 1, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452957@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 1, 2019 11:00am

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.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

Envisioning Possible Publics: Valuing Place & Creating Space in Writing Partnerships
Drawing on concepts from her book Public Pedagogy in Composition Studies, Professor Holmes will talk about the importance of public places and spaces in the teaching and learning of composition. She discusses public pedagogy through recent examples in her own teaching, explores how digital and mobile media enhance student engagement, and examines how recent "student success" movements might intersect with or undermine public pedagogy.

Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A then a workshop, facilitated by Professor Holmes, on identifying our publics and developing ideas for engaging with them in our pedagogy. You are welcome to come for as much or as little as the event as you can make it to!

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity
Paul Rand was a giant of American design, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy, interest in modernist aesthetics, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters, book covers, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.
