We hope you will be able to join us for a symposium on September 20, 2019 celebrating the career and contributions of Robert L. Kahn (March 28, 1918-January 6, 2019), sponsored by the Institute for Social Research and ISR’s Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan. The event will highlight the many contributions Bob made over his distinguished career, and provide time for attendees to share their memories of him. You are invited to this day-long symposium on Friday, September 20, 2019 followed by a reception.

Dr. Robert L. Kahn relished the exchange of ideas. He enjoyed designing studies which targeted practical problems, and most of all analyzing and considering how best to apply the findings. He was a strong supporter of young people, junior scientists, women and minority scholars. He was committed to social justice and backed some of the toughest early decisions in the field.

Please join us in celebrating his career and contributions to the field of social science.

Exhibition Opening Reception: Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice (September 20, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65096 65096-16517508@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 20, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Celebrate the work of artists and designers featured in Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice. Enjoy a live DJ and refreshments.

Human 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: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice 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.

Drawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media, Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice 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.

Artists: Annabel Castro, Mahwish Chishty, Lyn Goeringer, Ryan Griffis & Sarah Ross, Kate Hollenbach, Carrie Hott, X.A. Li, Rebekah Modrak, Abhishek Narula, Joel Ong, Jon Packles, Aislinn E. Pentecost-Farren, Susan Rochester, José Carlos Teixeira, Alex Turner, and Sabato Visconti.

Short films by: Nadav Assor, Anxious to Make (Liat Berdugo + Emily Martinez), Yaminay Chaudhri, Andrew Demirjian, José Guadalupe Garza & Miriam Ruíz, and Rick Silva.


Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practiceis curated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra and presented in partnership with the New Media Caucus.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

October 5 - November 2, 2019
Opening Reception: Friday, October 4, 6-8 pm
Center Galleries at the College for Creative Studies, Detroit

WiAn: 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.

Through 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.

It 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.

Through 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. 

Visitors 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.

In 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.

JuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.

Electronics in the Brain – Literally (January 17, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71584 71584-17842691@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 17, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Gerald Ford Library
Organized By: Electrical and Computer Engineering

Abstract

Reading the human mind by electronic means used to be the domain of science fiction – and is still largely so. At the same time, technologies collectively labelled as brain-computer interfaces have moved forward, motivated by needs for assistive tools for neurologically impaired people and to advance our fundamental understanding of the brain. An applied example would be the use of electronic means to read out directly from the brain the intention to move an arm or a hand, and to decipher such signals to actuate an external robotic device. Another example is the
reading out brain signals produced when listening to or formulating speech. To access brain’s microcircuits at high space-time resolution requires implantation of electronic listening posts, call them nodes, at a number of nearby locations in a given functional area of the cortex. Which brings up the question of the day for neuroengineers: how many nodes might be required or are possible to implant, and how does one physically implement arrays of microscale electronic probes? What are the data rates involved in extracting brain signals and how to design a communication link to send the data onward for decoding by external computing platforms? What about reversing the direction of the process to use implanted probes to deliver signals directly into the brain (‘write-in’)? Through contemporary examples, this presentation will review recent accomplishments in the field from an electrical engineer’s viewpoint and discuss both the challenges and opportunities ahead to build next generations of brain-computer interfaces while explicitly exploiting many of the early 21st century advances in microelectronics, telecommunication, and high end computing.

Taking a Stand Opening Reception (January 17, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70657 70657-17613298@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 17, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Come celebrate the work of artists in the exhibition Taking a Stand, featuring work by micha cárdenas, Oliver Husain, Elizabeth LaPensée, Meryl McMaster, and Syrus Marcus Ware. Refreshments will be served. At 6:15pm there will be a special performance by Detroit-based artist Sacramento Knoxx in collaboration with Bianca Millar & White Feather Woman.

Taking a Stand is a group exhibition that brings together lively and energetic work that highlights the ways in which artists build solidarity and shape contemporary culture as active participants in our society. The works in the exhibition encompass photography, interactive drawings, augmented reality, and 3-D film installation. The collectivist impulse of the projects recast the gallery as a catalyst, a site of action and possibility for urgent and meaningful dialogue on culture and politics. The immersive and interactive installations don’t just represent social concerns from our cosmopolitan present, they delve into playful and poetic exchanges with public audiences on empathy and decoloniality to imagine just and equitable futures. Drawing on the themes of science fiction, artists in the exhibition invite audiences to time travel, blurring fact with fiction, weaving fantastical narratives and desires with ancestral knowledge, collective memories, and stories from their natural and urban environments. They acknowledge the vitality of recuperating Indigenous, migrant, and LGBTQ subjectivities and practices to better understand how to heal our damaged planet. Even though these installations are temporary and ephemeral, they foster vibrant liminal spaces for the public to explore what could be done during this time of ever-present ecological and political change. Taking a Stand is curated by Srimoyee Mitra.

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

New York based artist Abigail DeVille creates immersive works and installations designed to bring attention to these forgotten stories, such as with the sculpture she built on the site of a former African American burial ground in Harlem. With family roots spanning back at least two generations, DeVille’s work about New York City is both personal and political. Acting as an archaeologist, DeVille collects and reallocates found materials to give physical presence to unspoken stories and forgotten pasts. Her work often focuses around themes of displacement, migration, marginalization, and cultural invisibility. As an extension of her installation practice, DeVille also designs sets for theatrical productions, including the Stratford Festival and Harlem Stage. Her work is part of some of the most prestigious collections in the world and has been exhibited internationally, including the Institute of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles); The Studio Museum in Harlem (New York); the Pinchuk Art Centre (Kiev); New Museum (New York); and the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam).  An honors fellow at The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, a Creative Capital grantee, and an OBIE Award for Design recipient, DeVille is currently in residence at the American Academy in Rome. 

Co-presented with the Institute for Humanities, presenting No Space Hidden (Under Heaven), an exhibition of work by Abigail DeVille, on view at the IH Gallery April 1-May 7, 2020. There will be an exhibition reception at the IH Gallery following this event.​
