Animal Friends: Ceramic Sculpture (October 19, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53529 53529-13398963@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 8:00am
Location: University Hospitals
Organized By: Gifts of Art

Marcia Polenberg loves animals, each with its own unique personality, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness, surprise, mischief, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times, building up a rich, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics, paint, graphite and pastel.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

Organized By: Gifts of Art

This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists, Lorraine Kolasa, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler, Roger Smith, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature, such as tree branches, ice patterns, twisted vines, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

American Portuguese Studies Association 11th International Conference (October 19, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56413 56413-13896810@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 9:00am
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

In recent years, scholars and pundits have begun talking about a “democratic recession.” For the first time since the early 2000s, the rate of democratic expansion worldwide has slowed and even receded. Some of the reasons suggested for this recession have been a disillusionment with the prevailing democratic models that, for all their benefits, often limit popular participation. The banner of participatory democracy has been hoisted by social movements, by scholars from different disciplines and has also made an appearance in cultural production. This conference proposes to look into what role culture plays in broaching possible crises of the democratic model, how culture participates in the discussion of current democratic models in the cultural and linguistic spheres, and how culture can strengthen and/or expand democracy. The concept of democracy is understood here as a broad umbrella theme that implies different paradigms of belonging and social inclusion and applies to various disciplines.

Keynote speakers will include: Alexandra Lucas Coelho (Portuguese writer), Luiz Ruffato (Brazilian writer), Sidney Chalhoub (Brazilian historian, Harvard University), and Kalaf Epalanga (Angolan-Portuguese writer and musician)

Exhibition | Urban Biographies, Ancient and Modern (October 19, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 52176-12520840@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 9:00am
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Lead Curator: Christopher Ratté
Co-Curators: Lisa Nevett, Nicola Terrenato, and Kathy Velikov

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations.

Excerpted from her artist statement:
My large‐scale works on paper, rendered in ink, colored pencil, gouache and graphite, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and, in this way, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.

I use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active, forceful agent, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity; hopefully, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.

When making art for public spaces, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture, ecosystem, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice, in turn, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Please join the Language and Rhetorical Studies Group for a dissertation chapter workshop with Alan Ke, a PhD candidate in Linguistics.

Chapter Description

The overall goal of this thesis is to advance our understanding of how humans comprehend language in real-time, developing and testing a new model of how mental representation of linguistic knowledge interacts with the memory system in sentence processing. To achieve this overall goal, I investigate an important theory that models the interaction between memory and sentence processing, known as cue-based memory retrieval theory, which assumes that a comprehender uses information as retrieval cues to identify meaningful language chunks with matching features in declarative memory. In this chapter, I review two main challenges of the cue-based retrieval theory, and briefly discuss the way this thesis addresses them. The last section of the chapter reviews the reason why such challenges are raised in the previous studies, as well as the solutions that have been previously proposed to address these challenges, and why these solutions are not satisfactory.

About Us
Language and Rhetorical Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is an interdisciplinary graduate student organization that focuses on the intersection of language and rhetoric.

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.

More than ever in the era of globalization, ideas traverse geographic, generational, and cultural boundaries, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa, Europe, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery, colonization, migration, racism, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings, photographs, sculpture, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai, Omar Victor Diop, Wangechi Mutu, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.

Lead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Michigan Office of Research, African Studies Center, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination; re-writing the canonical accounts of history; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.

At a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists, designers, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art, design, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.

Abstract:
Industrial big data are widely available through connected cyber-physical systems, distributed sensing and the Internet of Things, which provide unprecedented opportunities for real time information sharing and integrative decision making for smart manufacturing. Meanwhile, it also brings data analysis challenges due to massive high dimensional data with spatial and temporal heterogeneity and complex functional dependencies. This talk will first present the research opportunities and challenges of data analytics for smart manufacturing. Examples of ongoing research on methodological developments and their applications will be discussed with the emphasis on information integration for data driven optimal decision making. Specifically, it includes (1) integrating computer simulation model calibration using limited physical tests with optimal robust design; (2) integrating warranty data analysis with the design of accelerated life testing for improving reliability prediction and customer satisfaction; (3) integrative analysis of process sensing signals and product quality measurements for optimal decision-making in monitoring, inferring, and controlling manufacturing processes. The related data analytics methods will be discussed, including high-order tensor data analysis for multistream functional data/images, multiscale data transforms for data dimension reduction of nonstationary waveform signals, a regularized hierarchical variable selection method for combing the two steps of sensor selection and the signal features extraction together, employing the transfer learning technique for knowledge sharing among the similar processes, SPC supervised predictive control for defects prevention, etc. Some discussions will also be given on how the developed methodologies have been applied in automotive, metal forming and semiconductor manufacturing to show the essential need for multidisciplinary integration efforts.

In October 1947, just two years after the end of World War II, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. The subsequent article, “Michigan Homecoming,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend, many of which were not published in the original article, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article, these photographs of fervent fans, strolling couples, alumni making their annual pilgrimage, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.

These photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation, Media, Market (October 19, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53907 53907-13478725@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

In this talk, Dr Giang Nguyen-Thu will discuss her forthcoming book Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation, Media, Market by Routledge (2018). Since the country’s economic reform in 1986, Vietnamese television has experienced a tremendous shift from a purely propagandist tool of the Party-State into an all-pervasive medium of popular culture. The dynamics of Vietnamese television, however, is completely neglected in the field of international television studies, shadowed by the Western assumption of Vietnam being an oppressed land without media freedom. In her book, Dr Giang Nguyen-Thu seeks to challenge such reductionist assumption to reveal the effects of popular television in recreating the sense of national belonging in Vietnam. This book explores how various genres of popular television, including television dramas, talk shows and reality shows, alter the way Vietnamese people make sense of and organize their post-Reform lives, and how these new genres enable a new condition of cultural oppression as well as political engagement in the name of the nation. In sharp contrast to the previous image of Vietnam as a war-torn land, post-Reform Vietnamese television conjures into being a new sense of national connectedness based on an implicit refusal of the socialist past, hopes on peace and marketization, and anxieties of the globalized future.

Dr. Giang Nguyen-Thu is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication, Annenberg School of Communication, University of Pennsylvania. She also serves as an on-leave lecturer at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. She had her doctoral degree at the University of Queensland (2016) in the field of media and cultural studies. Her book Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation, Media, Market is to be published by Routledge in 2018. She is now interested in the emotional politics of social media in Vietnam. Her current research investigates how Vietnamese mothers use Facebook to navigate in an emerging economy of precarity caused by the widespread panic related to environment and food toxicity. Similar to her works on Vietnamese television, this research is informed by Giang’s interest in cultural globalization as situated mediation processes between global logics and local concerns, whose effects much excess the way the Western world often imagines of the Vietnamese media environment.

A fundamental problem in network data analysis is to test whether a network contains statistically significant communities. We study this problem in the stochastic block model context by testing H0: Erdos-Renyi model vs. H1: stochastic block model. This problem serves as the foundation for many other problems including the testing-based methods for determining the number of communities and community detection. Results will be presented for both ordinary graphs as well as hypergraphs where each edge contains more than two vertices. A comprehensive study is conducted for a wide spectrum of edge (or hyperedge) density scenarios. In particular, the joint impact of signal-to-noise ratio and the number of communities on the asymptotic results is unveiled. The proposed testing procedures are examined by both simulated and real-world network datasets. The talk is based on joint work with Mingao Yuan, Ruiqi Liu, and Zuofeng Shang.

Dance Modern Lab Master Class Series: Red Stowall (October 19, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52506 52506-12842451@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Erika ‘Red’ Stowall is an award-winning artist in dance and choreography residing in Detroit, MI. She is a recipient of the Kresge Artist Fellowship, Applebaum’s Emerging Art Award as well as Fulbright Hays GPA Study Abroad grant, awarded through University of Detroit Mercy. Stowall uses her classic training in modern, jazz, and ballet, combined with her background in West African dance as the foundation of her work. Her work is based on her life in Detroit, representation of black stories, and advocating for black women voices. Stowall sees her art as a calling and is passionate about creating performance pieces that invite conversation on safe space for women of color, restoration, and positive narrative/images of black communities. Stowall is the founder and current artistic director of Big Red Wall Dance Company.

Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist, discussing their career; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

This event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

WCED Lecture. Populism and the Erosion of Democracy (October 19, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54102 54102-13528400@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

Populist parties and politicians are surging in both developed and new democracies, prompting much analytical and popular concern. Their rise is largely due to the failure of mainstream political parties to articulate and respond to popular concerns about immigration, changing labor markets, and perceived cultural threats. This talk explains how populists benefited from the shortcomings of mainstream parties, how they gained power in several countries, and the consequences of their governance for the formal and informal institutions of liberal democracy.

Anna Grzymala-Busse is the Michelle and Kevin Douglas Professor of International Studies in the Department of Political Science at Stanford University. Her research interests include political parties, state development and transformation, informal political institutions, religion and politics, and post-communist politics. She is the author of Redeeming the Communist Past, Rebuilding Leviathan, and Nations Under God.

Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) Workshop. Queer Liminality: Gender and Sexuality in Raafat Hattab’s "Ho(u)ria" (October 19, 2018 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56118 56118-13832588@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 12:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Dr. Sascha Crasnow is lecturer of Islamic art in the Residential College at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in art history, theory, and criticism from the University of California San Diego in 2018. Her current book manuscript, "After the Intifadas: Art in the Age of Disillusionment," examines shifts in contemporary art production in the post-Second Intifada period among Palestinian artists living and making work within historic Palestine. This project, which is based on her dissertation research, has been solicited by Duke University Press.

Workshop Topic:
For LGBTQ individuals in Palestine, issues of gender and sexuality are inherently intertwined with their positions as individuals living under occupation. This is perhaps most notably visible through the eliding of Israel’s human rights abuses against Palestinians by Brand Israel (the primary pro-Israel propaganda project) through a portrayal of Israel as the singular gay-friendly, culturally progressive Middle Eastern country—a practice that has been termed “pinkwashing.” For Palestinians living within the state of Israel who identify as queer, they may feel caught between two societies into which they do not fit: Israeli society, where they are an outcast because of their Palestinianness, and Palestinian society, where they are an outcast because of their gender expression or sexuality. This leaves some individuals in a state of twofold liminality. In this paper, I utilize this notion of liminality as relates to the trans* experience discussed by Diane Dentice and Michelle Dietert to examine Ho(u)ria (2010), a video work by genderqueer Palestinian artist Raafat Hattab. Haatab’s video alternates between three scenes: a mermaid (Hattab) on the beach, Hattab’s aunt telling the story of her family’s expulsion from their homes during the Nakba (Arabic for “catastrophe” referring to the formation of Israel and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians), and Hattab getting a tattoo of Arabic calligraphy on his chest. While on the surface appearing disparate, these three scenes all speak to the intrinsically interwoven nature of liminality, the omission of certain voices from the nationalist struggle, and the persistent fight for liberation, as embodied by the work’s title—houria, meaning mermaid, and horia, meaning freedom.

Chris Peterson Memorial Lecture: Barry Schwartz, Ph.D., Swarthmore College (October 19, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52434 52434-12714441@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 1:00pm

Organized By: Department of Psychology

Years ago, Herbert Simon suggested that the standard assumption of rational choice theory, that decision makers choose so as to maximize expected utility, is psychologically implausible, because maximization requires cognitive operations that exceed human capacity. Simon proposed, instead, that people “satisfice,” choosing “good enough” rather than the best options. The maximizing challenge is exacerbated when choice sets are large, as is the case with most of the decisions people face in modern, affluent societies. More recent work has identified individual differences in decision making, with some people aiming to maximize and others aiming to satisfice. Maximizers make better decisions than satisficers, but feel worse about them. In this talk, I will suggest that the goal of maximizing is not just a psychological mistake, but an epistemological one—that often it is not possible. I will also present new empirical work that shows that when choice sets are large, people view choices as self-expressive, making even seemingly trivial decisions (e.g., what jeans to buy) into significant ones, and that when this happens, it enhances the tendency to maximize in making these decisions. In other words, large choice sets raise the stakes of decisions, turning people into maximizers, which results in less satisfying decisions. I will finally suggest that perhaps viewing the self as “achieved” rather than as “ascribed,” or the self as “incremental” rather than as an “entity” may be a mixed psychological blessing. If there is a secret to happiness, it may be, as Aristotle said, in finding the mean between too much freedom and too little—between standards that are too high and standards that are too low. Chris Peterson taught us many invaluable lessons about happiness in his distinguished career, and I do not think he would be surprised by this one.

Exposure to Opposing Views can Increase Political Polarization: Evidence from a Large-Scale Experiment on Social Media (October 19, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54841 54841-13645308@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 1:30pm

There is mounting concern that social media sites contribute to political polarization by creating "echo chambers" that insulate people from opposing views about current events. We surveyed a large sample of Democrats and Republicans who visit Twitter at least three times each week about a range of social policy issues. One week later, we randomly assigned respondents to a treatment condition in which they were offered financial incentives to follow a Twitter bot for one month that exposed them to messages produced by elected officials, organizations, and other opinion leaders with opposing political ideologies. Respondents were re-surveyed at the end of the month to measure the effect of this treatment, and at regular intervals throughout the study period to monitor treatment compliance. We find that Republicans who followed a liberal Twitter bot became substantially more conservative post-treatment, and Democrats who followed a conservative Twitter bot became slightly more liberal post-treatment. These findings have important implications for the interdisciplinary literature on political polarization as well as the emerging field of computational social science.

A Pluralist, Pragmatist Theory of Disease

Philosophers have proposed various definitions of disease. These have
spanned the normative, the naturalistic, and the social constructivist, for
instance. I argue that disease is not a stable, univocal concept with a
correct definition that can be uncovered or even usefully stipulated.
Rather, the concept of disease shows up in deeply competing projects with
different practical and epistemic goals, and what counts as a disease
varies accordingly. There is no reason to think we have, or should have,
even roughly consistent notions of health and disease underlying these
different projects. There are a messy host of competing strategic reasons
to classify something as a disease or to resist doing so; accordingly, that
something is a disease is often a contingent, historically dependent,
context dependent, perhaps temporary fact about it. Any neater story we try
to tell will occlude some of the important purposes that categorizing
something as a disease can serve, and the complex harms and benefits that
can come with this categorization.

HET Seminars | Complexity of Vacua and Near-Vacua (October 19, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56748 56748-13994902@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: HET Seminars

In this talk I will study the computational complexity of vacua and near-vacua in field theory and string theory. From analogy to protein folding, it is natural to expect that finding stable vacua is computationally hard, in the sense of complexity theory. However, I will demonstrate that this is the case even for metastable vacua. The problem is exacerbated in string theory, since setting up the hard problem of finding string vacua requires actually computing the scalar potential in a controlled regime. Such computations involve solving instances of computationally hard problems. Cosmological implications will be discussed in light of a recently proposed measure that utilizes computational complexity.

ais un abus de tout autre importance. . . est qu'on se presse trop de les faire parler, comme si l'on avait peur qu'ils n'apprissent pas à parler d'eux-mêmes (Jean- Jacques Rousseau, Émile ou de l’Éducation, 1762)

Figuring Émile as his pupil, Rousseau’s primer on education argues against Locke’s Enlightenment missive to begin engaging children in verbal reasoning at an early age. Useless, he argues: leave them to their own devices and they will flourish linguistically, morally, and intellectually. More than three centuries later, this essay revives this argument in light of a 21st century ideology that privileges intensive reflective dialogue between caregivers and young children as the bedrock of normal neurocognitive development and children’s talk as evidence of knowledge. This ideology has taken hold in US middle-class households and developmental psychology scholarship, motivating global biopolitical governance of the speaking bodies of economically disadvantaged caregivers and infants in the first months of life. The analysis weighs the complicated entailments of elevating not just a young child’s detached reflectivity but verbal displays of such reflectivity as a biological capacity waiting to be nurtured versus Western civilization’s handmaiden to rationality, scientific progress, capitalism, and the formation of the free ethical subject.

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series presents speakers on current topics in the field of anthropology.

Smith Lecture: New Insights into the Mechanics of Glacier Beds from Time-Dependent Surface Velocity Fields (October 19, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52663 52663-12925299@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 3:30pm
Location: 1100 North University Building
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

The mechanical properties of the ice-bed interface govern the dynamic sensitivity of glaciers to changes in climate and oceanic forcing. Recent observations have underscored the importance of understanding the mechanics of glacier beds by showing that the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing ice mass at increasing rates due to accelerating ice flow. Many glaciers exhibiting significant acceleration are flowing rapidly due to slip at the ice-bed interface, but the relationship between the rate of slip and the drag force at the bed remains unclear. This knowledge gap inhibits our ability to make reliable projections of eustatic sea-level rise and has persisted because of a lack of observations. This talk will focus on how recent observations can be leveraged to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanical properties of glacier beds. I will begin by describing a new method for deriving time-dependent, three-dimensional surface velocity fields from remote sensing data, and then presenting first-of-their-kind results from a natural experiment in which the flow of a major ice stream (Rutford Ice Stream) in West Antarctica responds periodically to forcing from ocean tides. These data allow us to observe and quantify the rate of propagation and decay of stress perturbations. After discussing the data, I will present a physical model that relates the observed spatiotemporal variations in surface velocity to the mechanics of the bed. These results provide fresh insight into the mechanics of a prototypical Antarctic outlet glacier. I will conclude the talk by discussing how the approach may form a potential strategy for using the growing volume of time-dependent remote sensing data to help improve projections of future glacier states.

Organic molecules contain a variety of chemical bonds. Organic synthesis involves the cleavage of a chemical bond and the formation of a new chemical bond. However, not all of the chemical bonds in organic molecules have been used in organic synthesis. Thus, organic synthesis is heavily dependent on the reactivity of chemical bonds. If so-called unreactive bonds were to be used directly in organic synthesis, new possibilities for developing new synthetic methodologies would arise. We have utilized, not only the activation of C-H bonds, but also the activation of unreactive single bonds, such as C-C, C-O, C-N, and C-F bonds, and the activation of C-C triple bonds and C-O double bonds, in our quest to develop new types of transformations that will lead to further diversification in the field of organic synthesis.

Our understanding of the past changes dramatically when we recognize violence as an intimate and important part of human experience that demands the historian’s attention. It is well known that the origins, sustenance and expansion of states involve the use of coercive power. This lecture looks at conflict, violence and resistance in the context of the politics of ancient India. Moving between political ideas and practice, I focus on three themes. The first is a general discussion of the relationship between the state and violence. The second extends the analysis to the social sphere, examining how theories of kingship legitimized the state’s violence against its subjects; the state’s powers to impose punishment, torture and death; and the connections between politics and sexual violence. The third part of the lecture examines the extent to which the coercive power of the state was accepted, contested or resisted by various social groups. I also ask whether the exploration of such issues that speak to our own time endows historical inquiry with a greater contemporary relevance, even urgency, or whether it threatens to destroy the objectivity that is an essential part of the historian’s craft.

Organized By: Department of Linguistics

The second event in the Department of Linguistics Fall 2018 Colloquium Series features a presentation by Jon Sprouse, Associate Professor of Linguistics, University of Connecticut.

ABSTRACT
Looking for evidence of A-movement

The evidence is almost overwhelming for a dependency in A'-constructions that can be captured with a grammatical operation like movement: there is a visible disruption in the word order of the sentence, there are several sentence processing effects associated with these disruptions, and there are abstract constraints these disruptions that vary cross-linguistically. In this talk, I'd like to ask whether we can find similar evidence for movement in A-constructions. I will spend the bulk of the time reporting three sets of studies that I have run in my own search for evidence of A-movement: a set of judgment studies on ne-cliticization in Italian and ECM in English; a set of EEG studies on uaccusatives, passives, and raising in English; and a set of hierarchical Bayesian models designed to test for the presence of UTAH during language acquisition (under the assumption that UTAH and A-movement are tightly coupled). In all three sets of studies, the results so far fail to present strong evidence for A-movement. After reviewing these results, my hope is to encourage some discussion about (i) what sorts of evidence we would expect to see if A-movement is part of the grammar, (ii) whether we might need cross-linguistic variation in the presence/absence of A-movement, and how the current evidence in the (syntactic, psycholinguistic, and neurolinguistic) literature stacks up against our expectations.

Seminar Title: “Protons to patients: evaluating the role of the chloride transporter ClC-7 in lysosomal function” (October 19, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53434 53434-13381403@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 4:00pm

Abstract: Lysosomes are essential focal points of cellular metabolism, digesting a wide range of macromolecules provided by endocytosis or autophagy. To this end, lysosomes rely on their highly acidic luminal pH to promote the function of their many enzymes, a pH generated by the action of a v-Type proton pumping ATPase. Since this transporter is electrogenic, parallel ion movements must occur to dissipate the generated membrane potential and promote bulk proton flux. I will present evidence that the Cl-/H+ antiporter, ClC-7, plays this role, moving Cl- to dissipate the lysosomal transmembrane voltage. However, the function of ClC-7 has been controversial, with conflicting reports on its contribution to lysosomal acidification. All heretofore known patients with ClC-7 functional mutations have varying degrees of the same disease, with osteopetrosis sometimes associated with lysosomal storage disease. Here, we report on two patients with a novel disease manifested as widespread lysosomal dysfunction but no bone abnormalities, who both have the same missense mutation in ClC-7. We find that fibroblasts from both patients have acidification abnormalities and that heterologously expressed human ClC-7 carrying this mutation displays a novel phenotype under electrophysiological measurements. These findings provide strong support for an important role of ClC-7 in the lysosomal acidification process and suggest opportunities for therapies for these patients.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

The series explores the differing approaches to the natural word by pagans and the early Christians from Paul and the Gospels to c AD 500. It brings out differing emphases in their respective writings and art and also asks what practical effects such different ways of seeing had.

Lecture 1: Cosmos and Landscape in Pagan and Christian Views of Creation (October 17th)
Pagan and Christian views of Creation, man’s dominance over the beasts and the vegetal world and on modern theories of a shift from a horizontal view of the relation of the natural world and the divine to a vertical view of it, endorsed by Christianity.

Not Separate from the Street: Nancy Blum and Public Art Installation (October 19, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54327 54327-13572279@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 4:30pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

The Robertson Lecture is an endowed annual event of the LSA Residential College, and is a lasting gift of the first Dean of the RC, James Robertson. The lecturer is traditionally a notable alumna/us of the RC, someone impacting their chosen field(s) in ways congruent with the philosophy of the College. The 2018 Robertson Lecture will be delivered at the Keene Theater in East Quadrangle on October 19th by Nancy Blum, class of '85, a Brooklyn-based artist who is known for her public art commissions and works on paper. In addition to graduating from the RC with majors in Psychology and Women’s Studies, she received an MSW from the U-M School of Social work and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her current work is installed primarily out of the gallery, not separated from the street but integrated into it, with a particular interest in sites of transit in cities and within hospital settings. Her recent commissions include medicinal wildflower windows at the San Francisco General Hospital acute care unit; large, graceful birds in flights of migration/immigration integrated into three light-rail stations in Minneapolis/St. Paul; and over-sized yellow flower sculptures sprouting from a rainwater filtration green space at a bus loop outside Philadelphia.

In her Robertson lecture, Nancy will share anecdotes about these and other works, and take us behind the scenes of her in-progress installation at an MTA train station in NYC. She'll explore how her multiple interests take root in public art, and she'll give us a sense for how she forged her own path as an artist - a journey, she says, that began at the Residential College, notably thanks to mentoring from her ceramics professor, Susan Crowell.

Following the Lecture, please join us for a reception for the artist at the RC Art Gallery, located on the first floor of East Quadrangle. Refreshments will be served. An exhibit of Nancy's drawings will be on display at the same gallery through November 9th, (M-F 10am-5pm, free admission).

Join us for the opening reception for the exhibit described below. Refreshments will be served, and Nancy will be on site to enjoy conversation with you.

RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations.

Excerpted from her artist statement:
My large‐scale works on paper, rendered in ink, colored pencil, gouache and graphite, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and, in this way, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.

I use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active, forceful agent, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity; hopefully, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.

The year 2018 marks the 15th anniversary of Great Lake Swimmers. Over seven albums, multiple EPs, live broadcasts, and reissues, the Toronto-based project led by singer-songwriter Tony Dekker has established itself as a beloved indie folk act in their native Canada and beyond. The CBC has called them "a national treasure," and their music has taken them around the world, sharing a sound that is at once familiar and distinct, using the tools of folk music as the starting point to delve deeper. Great Lake Swimmers have twice been nominated for Juno Awards, and they have shared stages with Robert Plant, Feist, and Calexico, and have appeared as headliners for many of Canada’s major folk festivals. They come to Michigan with a new release, "The Waves."

Native Harrow will open.

Marcia Polenberg loves animals, each with its own unique personality, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness, surprise, mischief, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times, building up a rich, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics, paint, graphite and pastel.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists, Lorraine Kolasa, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler, Roger Smith, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature, such as tree branches, ice patterns, twisted vines, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

In recent years, scholars and pundits have begun talking about a “democratic recession.” For the first time since the early 2000s, the rate of democratic expansion worldwide has slowed and even receded. Some of the reasons suggested for this recession have been a disillusionment with the prevailing democratic models that, for all their benefits, often limit popular participation. The banner of participatory democracy has been hoisted by social movements, by scholars from different disciplines and has also made an appearance in cultural production. This conference proposes to look into what role culture plays in broaching possible crises of the democratic model, how culture participates in the discussion of current democratic models in the cultural and linguistic spheres, and how culture can strengthen and/or expand democracy. The concept of democracy is understood here as a broad umbrella theme that implies different paradigms of belonging and social inclusion and applies to various disciplines.

Keynote speakers will include: Alexandra Lucas Coelho (Portuguese writer), Luiz Ruffato (Brazilian writer), Sidney Chalhoub (Brazilian historian, Harvard University), and Kalaf Epalanga (Angolan-Portuguese writer and musician)

We also celebrate the James Robert Walker Memorial Lecture on this date.

The elements we see around us are all forged in the glowing fires of stars. Nuclear energy and nuclear reactions are driving these fires, and the only way to ever understand how they work is by producing the relevant nuclei here on Earth and studying their properties. For this reason, among others, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, FRIB, is currently under construction in the heart of Michigan. When built, FRIB will finally give us unique access to those nuclei that are responsible for building the whole Universe.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (October 20, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53718 53718-13452676@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 20, 2018 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.

More than ever in the era of globalization, ideas traverse geographic, generational, and cultural boundaries, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa, Europe, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery, colonization, migration, racism, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings, photographs, sculpture, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai, Omar Victor Diop, Wangechi Mutu, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.

Lead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Michigan Office of Research, African Studies Center, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire (October 20, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53348 53348-13349516@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 20, 2018 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination; re-writing the canonical accounts of history; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.

At a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists, designers, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art, design, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.

Artists: Rudolf Baranik, Stephanie Dinkins, Emory Douglas, Brendan Fernandes, Chitra Ganesh, Carole Harris, Maren Hassinger, Al Loving, Josh MacPhee, Native Art Department International, Michele Oka Doner, Yoko Ono, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Martha Rosler, Buster Simpson, Gregory Sholette, Leni Sinclair, Stephanie Syjuco, Graem Whyte, and Zafos Xagoraris.

In October 1947, just two years after the end of World War II, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. The subsequent article, “Michigan Homecoming,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend, many of which were not published in the original article, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article, these photographs of fervent fans, strolling couples, alumni making their annual pilgrimage, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.

These photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Saturday Sampler Tour | Law & Order in the Ancient World (October 20, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54234 54234-13546022@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 20, 2018 2:00pm

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."

For over 20 years we've heard those words introducing the popular "Law & Order" series on television. Do those words pertain to the ancient world? Were there written laws and organized court systems in ancient Rome and Egypt? Come to the Kelsey on Saturday, October 20th, to learn the answers to these and other questions. The stories will not be fictional and a few WILL depict an actual person or event.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Organized By: Gifts of Art

Marcia Polenberg loves animals, each with its own unique personality, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness, surprise, mischief, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times, building up a rich, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics, paint, graphite and pastel.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists, Lorraine Kolasa, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler, Roger Smith, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature, such as tree branches, ice patterns, twisted vines, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

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

Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination; re-writing the canonical accounts of history; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.

At a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists, designers, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art, design, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.

Artists: Rudolf Baranik, Stephanie Dinkins, Emory Douglas, Brendan Fernandes, Chitra Ganesh, Carole Harris, Maren Hassinger, Al Loving, Josh MacPhee, Native Art Department International, Michele Oka Doner, Yoko Ono, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Martha Rosler, Buster Simpson, Gregory Sholette, Leni Sinclair, Stephanie Syjuco, Graem Whyte, and Zafos Xagoraris.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (October 21, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53718 53718-13452730@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 21, 2018 12:00pm

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.

More than ever in the era of globalization, ideas traverse geographic, generational, and cultural boundaries, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa, Europe, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery, colonization, migration, racism, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings, photographs, sculpture, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai, Omar Victor Diop, Wangechi Mutu, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.

Lead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Michigan Office of Research, African Studies Center, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

In October 1947, just two years after the end of World War II, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. The subsequent article, “Michigan Homecoming,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend, many of which were not published in the original article, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article, these photographs of fervent fans, strolling couples, alumni making their annual pilgrimage, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.

These photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Curated by Fang Zhang (2016-2017 Hughes Scholar at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies), CIUM’s annual film series “Electric Shadow” for the fall 2018 presents the most celebrated Chinese artists’ thought-provoking films. All CIUM events are free and open to the public.

Synopsis:
The camera apathetically zooms in Mrs. Fang’s ghostly face, her mouth held open in a rigid grimace. Having suffered from Alzheimer's for eight years, Fang Xiuying is now bedridden and surrounded by her relatives and neighbors, as they accompany her through her last days. “Mrs. Fang” depicts a shockingly raw and merciless portrait of Mrs. Fang’s final days. Unarguably the best work of Director Wang Bing, “Mrs. Fang” was honored with Golden Leopard at the 2017 Locarno Festival.

About Director Wang Bing:
A graduate of Beijing Film Academy, Wang Bing is a well​-​known ​cinematographer in China, famous for his talent of chronicling the everyday lives of peasants, laborers, and drifters. ​Most of his protagonists are marginalized, abandoned, and desperate​ people​, through which Wang tries to document the raw, brutal, but earnest humanism through his camera lens. His most well-known films are The Ditch (2010), Three Sisters (2012), and West of the Tracks (2002).

Organized By: Gifts of Art

Marcia Polenberg loves animals, each with its own unique personality, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness, surprise, mischief, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times, building up a rich, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics, paint, graphite and pastel.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists, Lorraine Kolasa, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler, Roger Smith, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature, such as tree branches, ice patterns, twisted vines, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.
