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:10376-1174010@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

The high temperatures required to create crystalline silicon devices\, however\, has limited the application of crystalline silicon to sensing systems that work in a small and mechanically rigid form factor. The development of inorganic and organic thin film electronics has launched a second revolution in electronics\, granting the ability to process electronically active materials at low temperatures. This has allowed for two exciting opportunities: the ability to build electronic devices on the same size scale as the systems they interact with\, and the ability to integrate electronic materials on a range of substrates including electronically active and flexible materials. Our group has been working on the hybrid integration of organic semiconductors and SLS laser-recrystallized silicon with active substrates to implement sensing\, display\, and mechanical actuation functionalities. In this presentation\, I'll show how thin film electronics and the hybrid integration enabled by new semiconductor systems and process options allows for active and spatially localized control of systems that are typically used in a single element format. Using this capability we have demonstrated the electronic implementation of all five senses as well a new approaches to mechanical actuation in polymer materials and driving LEDs in display engines. In particular\, I'll show how thin film transistors can be integrated with other active materials to build monolithically integrated microphones and pressure sensors\, flexible sheet scanners\, mass-based chemical sensors\, high power light engines\, and segmented polymer actuators. It is our hope that these devices will form some of the building blocks for future electronic systems and interface paradigms with application in a range of technological and healthcare areas.

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.

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.

Like Tyrannosaurus rex\, sabre-toothed cats\, and similar apex predators\, they first became known from a famous deposit - the Cambrian Burgess Shale. Aside from their iconic status\, anomalocaridids also play an important role in our understanding of Earth history and evolution because they are keystone organisms. They are keystones because our interpretations of their biology and ecology\, based on the morphology of fossils\, anchor our understanding of how entire marine ecosystems functioned. Yet new finite element modeling\, taphonomic\, and mineralogic analyses of these extinct creatures seems to contradict the longstanding interpretation of the biology and ecology of these animals\, suggesting rather that they may have been small\, that their mouths were soft\, that they could not close their mouth\, and that they could not have possibly eaten trilobites. Similarly\, analyses of malformed or \"bitten\" trilobites interpreted to be prey suggests that they could not have been deformed by the mouth or appendages of any known anomalocaridid. Analysis of putative anomalocaridid coprolites from the same deposits suggests that coprolites were produced by other animals or inorganic processes. Based on this new work\, it is unclear if these iconic predators were really just small worm-suckers or whether they were early plankton combers. Regardless\, this new data could substantially change the way we interpret the complexity of ancient ecosystems\, the evolution of large arthropods and their kin\, and biogeochemical feedback loops in organic-rich muddy settings.

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:10401-1174071@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:20121020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121020T170000 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.

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:10376-1174011@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:10076-1175108@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:20121020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121020T170000 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:10076-1175109@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:20121021T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121021T170000 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:10376-1174013@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:10076-1175110@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:20121022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121022T170000 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.

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.

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.

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:10076-1175111@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:20121023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121023T170000 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.

The use of ethnic statistics has been seen as a significant departure from the state’s customary refusal to record any other information about the nationality of individuals except for citizenship. The controversy cuts across the traditional left-right political cleavages in France\, and its intensity is linked to powerful assumptions about the political foundations of the French nation. Few participants in this debate have considered the issue from a European perspective. This talk demonstrates that the current debate is linked to an enduring discussion among statisticians going back to the nineteenth century about the possibility of using quantification to objectively treat questions of nationality.\n\nMorgane Labbé is assistant professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. Her research examines the history of the population sciences and population policy in central and eastern Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries\, with a particular focus on the links between population questions\, nationalism\, social welfare\, and forms of bureaucratic government. She is now finishing a book on the emergence of nationalities statistics in this region\, a work that explores the interplay between quantification\, political claims\, and diplomatic expertise.\n\n UID:9347-1139855@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/9347 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:morgane labbé LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121018T095829 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121023T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121023T170000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Drop-in Tuesdays DESCRIPTION:Join us this semester for special drop-in classes. \n\nAll exercise classes meet in 3275 CCRB from 4–5pm and are only $3 at the door/no registration required. \n\nYou must be a registered UM student or have a Rec Sports membership to participate\n UID:10977-1175831@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10977 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:ex,health and wellness,umove fitness,yoga LOCATION:Central Campus Recreation Building (Bell Pool) - 3275 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120918T215934 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121023T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121023T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Matthew Countryman Lecture\, “Of Little Rocks and Levittowns: The Northern Racial Landscape and and the Origins of 1960s Student Activism” DESCRIPTION:WHEN: 4:00-5:30\n\nWHERE: Tisch Hall - 1014\n\nThis lecture is part of a thematic series of events leading up to the October 31-November 2\, 2012 conference\, \"A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement in Its Time and Ours.\" It is free and open to the public.

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:10376-1174015@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.

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:10076-1175112@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:20121024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121024T170000 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.

How then\, can a work with over two-hundred different choreographies and one-hundred commercial recordings be a lost ballet? The reality is that all ballets are\, in some form\, lost ballets\, a byproduct of the ephemeral nature of the medium\, where the dance exists in the moment it is performed and ceases to exist upon its conclusion\, or upon the passing of its creator. When we hear a musical excerpt from The Nutcracker\, Le Sacre\, Swan Lake\, or any score composed for dance and identify it as a ballet\, we are referring to only one-half of an intended whole. Dances are often lost in the collective memories of both dancers and audiences\, whereas the contents of the musical score can be experienced repeatedly and in many cases\, on-demand. As we imagine the physical ballet through the aural experience of a musical score\, we should consider the ballet as lost since it can only be recalled in our imagination. Using Le Sacre du Printemps as an example\, Matijas Mecca will discuss the challenges in preserving choreographies and performance practices in dance and will address the challenges one can face in knowing a dance.

Its prevalence and importance notwithstanding\, this form of writing has not received serious critical attention from scholars. The main purpose of this lecture is to suggest answers to the following questions: (1) What is Chinese “travel literature” and how should it be defined?\; (2) Who wrote travel literature in imperial China and why?\; (3) Is there a “canon” of Chinese travel literature? If so\, then what specific texts constitute that canon and why?\; (4) What literary qualities inform the very “best” Chinese travel writing?\; and (5): what is the role of youji in the overall development of writing about place in imperial China?\n\nFree and open to the public.

To think of ekphrasis as visual description is to trouble the difference between art and assistance. To think of visual description as ekphrasis is to encourage a visual description that is aware of its ethical responsibilities and its imaginative and persuasive force. The workshop\nwill be both critical and creative: we will look at some classic and contemporary examples of poetic ekphrasis through a disability studies lens\, and we will try our own hands at a critical ekphrastic practice.\n\nSusan Schweik is a professor of English and disability studies and associate dean of arts and humanities at U.C.

She soaked up the sounds and rhythms of one of the most musical nations on the planet\, a country where expressing yourself through song is just a part of everyday life\, a country that has music in its very DNA\, where the influence of giants like Afrobeat revolutionary Fela Kuti is never far away. Every year since her musical career took off in 2005\, Nneka has built on her successes\, stretched her muscles\, and widened her range. Her debut album\, \"Victim of Truth\,\" an inspirational mix of hot loops\, black consciousness and 21st-century soul music\, was garlanded with praise by the British media. The Sunday Times called it \"as good as 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.'\" Nneka’s music has a big splash of Bob Marley\, a measure of Nina Simone and a lick of Erykah Badu. But now there’s more of the best ingredient: Nneka herself. Her first U.S. release\, \"Concrete Jungle\,\" is a collection of songs that put the singer-songwriter at the forefront.

Thomas received his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2002\, and his intricate designs are influenced by historical furniture\, industrial plate ware\, and classic Arts & Crafts and folk art iconography. Sarah is largely self-taught as a potter and spent a year living in Japan\, visiting studio potters throughout the country. She throws all of the pottery on the wheel\, finishing and assembling each piece when partially dry. A palette of luminous glazes highlight the hand-carved designs and crisp lines\, giving each piece a polished\, radiant finish. \n\n1500 E.

Each artist approaches this in their own unique way\, and their work highlights the variety and beauty of this little known branch of origami.

Huang travels extensively between the US and China and currently teaches at Nanjing University in Jiangsu Province. Recently\, he completed several monumental\, museum commissioned sculptures in China. This exhibition is a reminiscence of Huang’s work done while in Ann Arbor. Although his interests spread from representational to expressionist\, Huang is rooted in a traditional ground. His figure paintings and landscapes reflect his masterful approach to traditional realism.\n\n1500 E.

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:10376-1174016@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 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:10076-1175113@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:20121011T091243 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T130000 SUMMARY:Other:Psychology Career Fair DESCRIPTION:http://www.lsa.umich.edu/psych/events/events.asp?id=3718 UID:10836-1175244@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10836 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:psychology,the career center LOCATION:East Hall - Psych Atrium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T170000 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.

Understanding the enormity of these events\, from the immediate moment through the protracted reflections\, debates\, and reconstruction since March 11\, and evaluating the potential fundamental restructuring of the Tohoku region and Japanese society as a whole\, presents major challenges to foreign scholars and observers. How has digital information available in real time – unlike Haiti\, Banda Aceh\, or New Orleans – altered the experience of and response to disaster? How do we interpret the local and national responses\, apprehend the deep-seated cultural and social practices in play\, and understand how these literal and figurative tectonic shifts impact how we see Japan and our work?\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nTed Bestor is the Director of the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies and a Professor of Social Anthropology at Harvard University. As a specialist on contemporary Japanese society and culture\, focusing much of his research on Tokyo\, he has written widely on urban culture and history\, pop culture\, markets and economic organization\, food culture\, and the fishing industry.

Participants will form a line behind Papalia and keep their eyes closed for the duration of the walking tour\, an element that requires an exchange of trust. This is not a simulation exercise: there is no sense that participants enter into an experience of blind space. Rather\, the trip culminates in a group discussion about the experience. As participants traverse familiar landscapes nonvisually\, they become aware of their sensory perceptions and the many ways in which one can experience and explore space.\n\nIn the second half of this event\, the workshop team will encourage participants to give non-visual tours of exhibits in UMMA: one person with eyes closed is led by one with eyes open\, who describes the art works the couple encounters. What new museum experiences emerge in these forms of engagement with public space\, disability’s difference\, translation\, and the poetics of art?\n\nCarmen Papalia is an MFA student in Social Practice at Portland State University. He is editor of Memewar magazine. Selections of his work can be found in Sub-terrain\, The Capilano Courier\, The Liar\, and in Memewar.

This “Universal Tradeoff Hypothesis” suggests a surprisingly tight linkage among evolutionary\, population and ecosystem processes. It also suggests that the loss of biodiversity\, whether from species extinctions\, community simplification\, or loss of genetic variation within populations\, can have serious implications for global environmental sustainability.

The abolition of the indentured labor system\, which had been put in place in the aftermath of Atlantic slavery to substitute emancipated African slaves with indentured Indians on colonial plantations overseas\, provides a challenge for existing global historical frameworks that tend to privilege space over time. This talk makes the case for a return to the “temporal\,” through an exploration of the concept of an “interregnum\,” to understand the much-neglected movement for the abolition of indenture or what following the abolition of Atlantic slavery has been called the “second abolition.” UID:10054-1172203@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10054 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:history LOCATION:Tisch Hall - 1014 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121002T145644 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T200000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:STIET Seminar: Research Workshop DESCRIPTION:The STIET Research Workshop features STIET Ph.D. students\, former students\, and faculty presenting ongoing research.

Sullivan earned his doctoral degree in Landscape Architecture at the University of Michigan\, and is a professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\n\nThe U-M Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies is organizing the Rackham Centennial Alumni Lectures as part of its 100th anniversary celebration in 2012. The Rackham Centennial Alumni Lectures showcase the intellectual legacy of the university’s graduate community.\n\nAbstract: Rising Above the Tide\n\nThese are incredibly demanding times for those of us working on the environment. Although the intellectual challenges we face are enormous and the consequences profound\, the resources necessary to meet these challenges are too often scant. How can we be effective under such conditions? How\, with shrinking resources and increasing demands on our time and attention\, can we produce scholarship that contributes to positive change? In this talk I’ll suggest two ways forward\, drawing on recent theoretical and experimental work on healthy environments and on my teaching experiences. First\, I’ll address strategies for increasing the chances that our minds are clear and our spirits ready to handle the tasks at hand. Second\, I’ll propose we apply our energies to strategic\, high-impact activities that directly impact those spheres in which we seek to make a difference.\n\nMore: http://www.snre.umich.edu/news/08-16-2012/la_alumnus_sullivan_returns_to_give_rackham_centennial_lecture\n\nMore about the Rackham Centennial Lecture: http://www.rackham.umich.edu/centennial/ UID:10949-1175807@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10949 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:environment,landscape architecture,rackham centennial lecture LOCATION:Dana Natural Resources Building - Room 1040 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121002T145848 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121025T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rackham Centennial Alumni Lecture: Lou Rosenfeld DESCRIPTION:School of Information alumnus Lou Rosenfeld (MILS ’90) will represent his alma mater with a presentation on \"Beyond User Research\" as part of the Rackham Centennial Alumni Lecture Series.\n\nRosenfeld is regarded as one of the founding figures of information architecture\, which is the design and organization of websites\, intranets\, online communities\, and software to support usability. With fellow U-M alumnus Peter Morville\, he authored the seminal text on the subject\, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web (aka \"The Polar Bear book\")\, in 1998.\n\nAs user research becomes firmly established in organizations around the world\, \"it's tempting to congratulate ourselves and retreat to our shiny new labs\,” says Rosenfeld. “But our work is nowhere near complete.” He contends that as currently practiced\, user research remains narrow in focus\, often limited to the methods and tools that reflect one’s own educational biases\, and approaches that fit within people’s comfort zones.\n\nRosenfeld examines how other research practices\, such as web analytics\, business analytics\, and market research\, provide powerful ways of learning about users' wants and needs. “More importantly\, they're often complementary with what we do\,” he said. “When we synthesize the methods that tell us what is going on\, combined with methods that tell us why\, only then does user research unveil true insight.”\n\nRosenfeld is principal of Louis Rosenfeld LLC\, an information architecture consultancy. He founded Rosenfeld Media\, a user experience publishing house\, in late 2005.\n\nThe Centennial Lectures showcase the diversity and quality of the intellectual legacy of the University’s graduates. Over 60 graduate programs will host a Centennial Lecture delivered by graduate alumni in October 2012.
