Throughout his long career\, he not only helped define the field and movement but has always advocated for the people behind it. The conference's purpose is to pay tribute to his contributions while offering attendees new thinking from leading activists\, academics and government leaders. The event takes place nearly 30 years to the month since the historic Warren County landfill protest in North Carolina\, which many consider the start of the modern Environmental Justice movement.\n\nThe conference will have keynote speakers and breakout sessions\, culminating with the production later this year of a whitepaper spelling out an action plan for the movement. This is Bunyan's clearly articulated goal for the conference: a concrete work product that lives beyond the life of the conference and serves and informs the work of activists and academics in the years ahead.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173996@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

While these films deal with the realities of aging\, all are thoughtful\, engaging and ultimately ennobling. The films we will screen are “Make Way for Tomorrow” (USA\, 1937)\; “Tokyo Story” (Japan\, 1953)\; “Away from Her” (USA\, 2002)\; “Cloud Nine” (Germany\, 2009)\; “After Life” (Japanese\, 1999)\; and “Wild Strawberries” (Sweden\, 1957).

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120914T202941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121005T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121005T123000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Shodo - Japanese Calligraphy–OLLI Study Group DESCRIPTION:Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of the brush strokes.

To promote an understanding of these conflicting goals\, this lecture contextualizes transitional points in Beethoven\&##39\;s Bonn works with those of his closest mentors (Neefe\, Luchesi and Sterkel) and shows how these early approaches leave marks in some mature sonatas.

From his early days as a New Orleans transplant in the Boston folk scene\, through his wilderness years\, to his reemergence in the 1990s as one of America’s most distinctive acoustic performers\, Chris Smither continues to hone his distinctive sound. He has always traveled his own road\, eschewing sophisticated studio tricks and staying true to his musical vision. He has developed and maintained loyal friendships over the years with kindred-spirited musicians like Bonnie Raitt and the late Stephen Bruton\, while at the same time throughout his career being inspired by and inspiring to today's new generation of musicians. Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work\, gravelly voice\, and songwriting.

After moving to the US in 1998\, Fontaine became fascinated with sculpting. This self-taught artist explores funny and familiar subjects\, with close attention to details in human anatomy. Viewers will meet French\, Belgian\, British and American characters.

She grew up on a large family farm in Indiana\, went to University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana to earn a BFA in painting\, then to MSU to earn an MFA in sculpture. Now working and teaching in Ann Arbor\, Mann’s use and study of tools inspired this body of work. Used every day and sometimes taken for granted\, tools are indispensable in the making of art. These favorite tools are beautifully designed and well-thought out for their specific job.

Throughout his long career\, he not only helped define the field and movement but has always advocated for the people behind it. The conference's purpose is to pay tribute to his contributions while offering attendees new thinking from leading activists\, academics and government leaders. The event takes place nearly 30 years to the month since the historic Warren County landfill protest in North Carolina\, which many consider the start of the modern Environmental Justice movement.\n\nThe conference will have keynote speakers and breakout sessions\, culminating with the production later this year of a whitepaper spelling out an action plan for the movement. This is Bunyan's clearly articulated goal for the conference: a concrete work product that lives beyond the life of the conference and serves and informs the work of activists and academics in the years ahead.

From pilgrimage and exploration to trade and tourism\, advances in transportation have enabled new types of travel and created new places\, some existing solely for the vacationer. This exhibition highlights changes in travel including information on early pilgrimages\, exploration narratives\, the grand tour of Europe\, women travellers\, World’s Fairs\, the birth of the family vacation and specialized tourism using maps and narratives from the Library collections.\n UID:10401-1174057@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10401 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:maps,travel,university library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, Second Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121006T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121006T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173997@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175094@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121006T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121006T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121007T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121007T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173999@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175096@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121008T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121008T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1174000@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

This invitation only event is open to the press. The Legislative Collaborative is a quarterly political forum sponsored by the Michigan State University and University of Michigan Detroit Centers.\n\nThe session will provide a unique forum for select high school and college students to participate in a question and answer session with Michigan’s senior senator. Levin’s visit to the U-M Detroit Center provides student attendees with an excellent opportunity to engage in conversations regarding such topics as politics\, policy and other current events. The invited students will represent the Detroit School of the Arts\, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan.\n\nSenator Carl Levin\, a Detroit native\, attended Detroit public schools as a youth and graduated from Swarthmore College in 1956 and Harvard Law School in 1959. Levin has been Michigan’s senior Senator since 1995 and is the longest serving U.S. Senator in Michigan history. Levin was elected to his sixth term in 2008\, which ends in January 2015. TIME Magazine named Levin as one of America’s 10 best Senators in 2006. Levin comes from a political family. His brother\, Sander\, represents Michigan’s 12th District in the House of Representatives and serves as ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee. Levin’s father\, Saul\, served on the Michigan Corrections Commission. His uncle\, Theodore Levin\, was the chief judge on the U.S. District Court for Eastern Michigan.\n\nOne of Carl Levin’s top priorities has been the economic well-being of Michigan families. Levin has been a consistent advocate of American manufacturing\; the backbone of Michigan’s economy. Levin has also been one of the strongest supporters for policies that would help American manufacturers compete globally.\n\nCarl Levin is the chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He has led investigations of the 2008 financial crisis\, abusive credit card practices\, the Enron collapse\, speculation in energy and food markets\, abusive offshore tax havens and money laundering by corrupt foreign leaders. He established an investigative team on the Armed Services Committee that has probed treatment of detainees in U.S. military custody and abuses by security contractors in Afghanistan.

Professor Barr brings with him a vast knowledge of financial regulation and policy making in Washington and can give us a first-hand view of reform.\n\nProfessor Barr teaches about financial institutions\, international finance\, financial derivatives\, transnational law\, and jurisdiction and choice of law. He was on leave in 2009-10\, serving as the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions\, and was a key architect of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. \n\nThis is the second of 9 lectures in OLLI’s monthly 2nd Tuesday Distinguished Lecture Series.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175097@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121009T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121009T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music.

Rather than rehabilitate disability on the basis of social constructivist claims that disability is in the environment and not in the person (the founding insight of disability social models)\, neoliberal novels of embodiment explore disability as sites of radical human mutation wherein much of the creativity of the species lay. Here I call these surprising representational reversals of disabled peoples’ innovation: the capacities of incapacity. In anti-normative novels\, portrayals of alternative embodiments demonstrate ways in which a material engagement with disability may offer ways out of the social constructivist impasse: i.e. not only are bodies imprinted by environments\, but also that environments are imprinted by bodies as well. At the fore of this argument is the anti-normative novel’s challenge to disability rights movements as complicit in neoliberal homogenization processes at work in late Capitalism – namely\, those aspects of global fetishization that threaten to rid more radical formulations of disability of the promise they hold for fashioning alternative lives.\n\nDavid Mitchell is the 2012 Freehling Visiting Professor at the Institute for the Humanities\, University of Michigan\, and associate professor in the College of Education at Temple University. His background and interests in American Cultural Studies include: U.S. literary history\, U.S. minority cultures\, representations of people with disabilities in film\, media\, literature and art\, documentary film art\, and youth subculture movements. His publications include 3 books The Body and Physical Difference (1997)\; Narrative Prosthesis (2000)\; Cultural Locations of Disability (2006)]\, dozens of journal and review articles\, four award-winning documentary films: Vital Signs: Crip Culture Talks Back (1995)\; A World Without Bodies (2002)\; Self Preservation (2005)\; Disability Takes on the Arts (2006)\, and the five-volume Encyclopedia of Disability (2005). David has also curated two international disability film festivals and an exhibition for the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum on disability history. Currently\, he is completing work on two new book-length manuscripts\; the first\, Ablenationalism and the Geo-Politics of Disability\, analyses the developments of global disability culture under neoliberalism\, and the second\, The Capacities of Incapacity: Disability and the the Anti-Normative American Novel\, examines shifts in liberal and neoliberal portrayals of people with disabilities in the wake of U.S. Civil Rights Movements.\n\nPart of Integrating disability: multi-sensory translation\, bodies of dis/color\, and neurodiversity\, a year-long collaboration between the U-M Institute for Humanities\, National Center for Institutional Diversity\, and the University of Michigan Initiative on Disability Studies.\n UID:10428-1174114@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:literary,social justice LOCATION:202 S.

Those sources of inspiration included experimental religion\, existentialist thought\, and solidarity with Third World revolutions. The early new left advocated a realignment of American politics along left/right lines. New left activists rallied to insurgencies by outsiders\, but they also harbored ambitions to become part of a new\, reformed American political leadership. Some of their hopes achieved realization while others were dashed.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1174001@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121010T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121010T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

We have lost much of that leadership. We have the largest Exclusive Economic Zone of all nations\, and in 2010 got our first ever National Ocean Policy\, but we are still stuck in the muck. We have failed to ratify the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea\; application of Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning is sputtering\; ecosystem-based management remains elusive\; and the ocean is rarely mentioned as a source of jobs and new economic activity in the current debate. U of M Professor Emeritus\, John Kingdon wrote a defining treatment of the governmental policy-making process. We will explore its relevance to ocean policy through two case studies–managing freshwater inflow to the San Francisco Bay estuary\, and managing aquatic invasive species introductions by ships transiting the St. Lawrence Seaway. Ocean scientists seek ocean policies based on sound science\, but are limited by lack of experience in the policy arena and by the lack of appropriate institutional structures to engage them and their expertise. I will offer some observations on disruptive strategies.

These novels\, written between 1851 and 1868 by Ottoman Armenians\, have so far been ignored in Ottoman/Turkish literary historiography. In order to make a critique of historiography and to place these Armeno-Turkish novels into a historical and literary context\, he will discuss: the issue of cultural encounter between Ottoman Armenians and Muslim/Turks with special emphasis on script and historiography of the late Ottoman Empire\; an introduction to some basic features of Armeno-Turkish novels\; and a literary comparison between these three novels and early Turkish novels written by Muslim/Turks with special emphasis on the appropriation of romanticism. Cankara will also give a brief overview on some major problems and theoretical tools for students of Armeno-Turkish. \n\nManoogian Foundation Post-doctoral Fellow Murat Cankara was born in Smyrna in 1976. He studied physics and mathematics for two years. After majoring in theory and history of theatre\, Cankara received his PhD in Turkish literature from Bilkent University in 2011\, with a \ndissertation titled “Empire and Novel: Placing Armeno-Turkish Novels in Ottoman/Turkish Literary Historiography”. Cankara’s research \nfocuses on the novels written by Armenians in the Turkish language \nusing the Armenian script\, specifically those from the second half of the nineteenth century. His areas of interest are the literary culture of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century in which Armenians play a prominent role\, cultural interactions between Ottoman Armenians and Muslim/Turks\, the appropriation of Turkish by Armenians\, and \nthe historiography of Ottoman/Turkish literature.\n\nCo-sponsor: CMENAS.\n\n UID:10144-1173435@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10144 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:literary,murat cankara LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120807T140826 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121010T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121010T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Breaking the Jewish Taboo on Germany DESCRIPTION: UID:9495-1140167@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/9495 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:german,german studies,jewish studies LOCATION:202 S.

Neil’s extremely thick beard turned into a smile as he said “Nylon Rock” before laughing and turning back to his beer. In the late 1990s Neil fronted a band called Slowdive\, and after a couple of really good records they split. From there Neil formed his current band Mojave 3\, who have released four records to date. At the core of those bands was Neil and his songwriting\, and nowadays his main medium is a nylon-string guitar and a couple of shakers. Neil writes songs that are very personal to him\, and he invites everyone to take their own meanings away from his lyrics (“Go skies and thrones and wings. And poetry and things” from the song “Elevenses”). Neil Halstead is an old soul and his newest solo record is exactly who he is: welcoming\, warm\, clever and kind.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1174002@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120725T091149 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121011T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121011T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:MFarmers' Market DESCRIPTION:Central Student Government\, in partnership with University Unions\, presents U-M's own MFarmers' Market.

An enthusiastic and sought-after public speaker\, Steingraber has keynoted conferences on human health and the environment throughout the United States and Canada and has been invited to lecture at many universities\, medical schools\, and hospitals.

Yet wars have been waged at a distance throughout history\, and we need a surer sense of the historical curve through which military violence has shaped (and been shaped by) the friction of distance. But we also need a sharper calibration of war’s geography\, including changes in military logistics\, weapons systems\, and the emergence of new media to convey the theatre of war to distant audiences. Yet for all these changes the ”˜death of distance’ – and the distance of death – in today’s liquid world has been greatly exaggerated\, and there remains a stark intimacy to many killing spaces that requires careful reflection. I will then become clear that the claim registered by Thomas Friedman's \"brief history of the 21st century\" – that \"the world is flat\" - is purblind and premature\, even for the US military.

She felt only embarrassment then\, but at 15 she felt the calling. \"It was like a switch went off in my head\,\" recalls Shemekia\, \"and I wanted to sing. It became a want and a need. I had to do it.\" Shemekia's blast-furnace voice has brought plenty of comparisons to Etta James\, Tina Turner\, and other vocal greats. But really Shemekia is an independent artist --a young woman with not only a great voice but an ear for songs with insight and emotional honesty. If there's a blues song for our times\, it's her rendition of her father's composition \"Circumstances\,\" a crushing depiction of job loss and economic powerlessness.
