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:10076-1175128@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:20121109T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121109T170000 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.

To date\, Publius has served over 6 million interactive ballots to individual Michigan voters. The patented technology has been folded into the State of Michigan’s website. Through a combination of equal parts zeal\, craftiness\, stupidity\, and resolve\, Vince Keenan has accidentally become what some people call a social entrepreneur. Join him\, fresh off the 2012 voter education trail\, as he discusses what went right (and wrong) while putting together this year’s version of the most comprehensive and popular voter guide in Michigan. \n\nKeenan also shares the ups and downs of social entrepreneurship\, crafting application and user interface design under the gun with partners who don’t believe users matter\, trying to be a media darling to get your point across\, and the technology of civic engagement in Detroit.\n\nKeenan is a Detroiter\, engaged citizen\, and the director of Publius.org\, a non-partisan organization founded in 1996 to promoting civic participation and voter education. He holds a degree in philosophy from the University of Michigan and\, as he puts it\, \"attended (UMSI) as a precocious undergrad tolerated by a handful of generous professors.\" He returned to UMSI while he was the senior computer systems specialist for the U-M department of human genetics during the era of the completion of the human genome project’s mapping of the genome.\n\nIn 2008\, Keenan authored the federal best practices for building voter information websites. He also sits on the board of the D:hive\, a talent attraction and retention clearinghouse for Detroit’s emerging entrepreneurship class.

Further\, those that travel into the lower mantle seem to thicken with depth. There are extensive laboratory analogue and numerical modeling studies that explore the roles of various factors\, such as slab buoyancy\, mantle rheology\, slab strength\, trench motion\, and slab dip\, in controlling the geometrical evolution of subducting slabs. One aspect that is less explored is the role of thermodynamic properties\, such as density\, thermal diffusivity\, thermal expansivity\, and heat capacity\, of the mantle minerals. The spatial variations in these properties associated with pressure\, temperature\, and phase changes influence mantle convection and slab evolution\, but in many of the earlier studies of slab evolution these properties are assumed uniform. In this study\, we develop a numerical geodynamic model that incorporates the thermodynamically self-consistent properties of the mantle minerals and investigate the influence of the properties on the slab evolution. Our results show that incorporation of the effects of thermodynamic properties can lead to a notably different slab behavior in geodynamic models and is important to simulating and understanding the slab evolution.

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:10076-1175129@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:20121110T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121110T170000 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.

After a certain period of time\, the individual may become stricken with a feeling that he has to do something about his situation\, but often\, the person himself or his family are unable to seize any opportunity to go out\, the feeling of resignation grows\, and their condition deteriorates. As years go by\, the individual gradually loses the will to go outside on his own initiative. Only a third party can break through this odd stagnation in the family. By visiting the individual repeatedly\, a third party unravels their locked emotions. Eventually\, a will to improve the situation will return.\" -Sadatsugu Kudo\, NPO Youth Support Center\n\nEvent sponsored by CJS and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars Program.

The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast–dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition–from the storytelling to the bagpipes. This will be a special Enter the Haggis show–they band is working on a new album\, based entirely on the headlines of one issue of a Toronto newspaper.

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. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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:10076-1175130@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:20121111T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121111T170000 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.

He will explore plans for the redesign and rebuilding of Christchurch\, New Zealand's second-laregest urban area.\n\nIn September 2010\, a powerful magnitude 7.1-magnitude earthquake rocked Christchurch\, New Zealand’s second largest city (population 377\,000). Since then\, there have been more than 12\,500 aftershocks. The February 2011 aftershock of magnitude 6.3\, which struck on a weekday at 12.51 p.m.\, caused 185 deaths. In all\, $30 billion of damage occurred to buildings\, property\, residences and infrastructure.\n\nIn the Central Business District where 50\,000 people worked\, about 70 percent of the commercial buildings were damaged beyond repair and have been or will be demolished. In response\, the New Zealand government established the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) to develop a Recovery Plan and to lead\, promote and facilitate redevelopment. The resulting Recovery Plan included a spatial Blueprint Plan that covers 1\,500 acres within the heart of the city.\n\nDon Miskell\, who is managing director of the multidisciplinary firm Boffa Miskell\, was engaged by the New Zealand government to lead an international consortium of architects\, urban planners\, urban designers\, landscape architects\, engineers\, economists\, cultural advisors\, traffic engineers\, investment bankers and business advisors to develop the spatial Blueprint Plan in the space of 100 days. At the completion of the 100 days\, Miskeel was seconded into CERA as General Manager - Planning and Design.\n\nIn his presentation\, Miskell outlines the 100-Day Blueprint process\, its guiding principles\, the challenges\, the environmental outcomes\, the urban design controls and the lessons learned. He will also describe what is happening now as the community seeks innovative ways to rebuild within the Blueprint framework.

We will discuss the conflicts between the Shah and Prime Minister Mossadeq\, later Ayatollah Khomeini\, and the overthrow of the Shah in 1979.

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:10076-1175131@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:20121112T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121112T170000 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.

In the words of USA Today: \"Miles sings of stark\, desolate loneliness\, and the instruments accompanying her echo in the expanse of the solitude.\" And consider this testimony from The Ark's own Dave Siglin: \"As director of The Ark acoustic music club in Ann Arbor for forty years from 1968 to 2008\, I presented literally thousands of performers\, including many wonderful singer-songwriters whose music I now cherish. Of all of these\, I find myself listening to the music of Lynn Miles more than that of any other performer who played the club. Her melodies are stunning\, and I think many of her lyrics are absolute poetry capable of standing alone. If you love good music and you're never really listened to her\, you owe it to yourself to do so soon. The point of my writing this is that I can easily say Lynn Miles ranks as my favorite singer-songwriter to have ever played The Ark during my tenure over the last forty years. Flat out my favorite. (This obviously does not include Iggy Pop who played there before I arrived.)\" UID:9458-1140119@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/9458 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:contemporary songwriters,country/rockabilly,lynn miles,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 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:10076-1175132@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:20121113T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121113T170000 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:10076-1175133@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:20121114T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121114T170000 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 royal hunt clashed with acceptable models of Confucian statecraft and identity\, scholarly traditions that were reputedly strong under the Koryo and Choson dynasties. Debates over hunting will be discussed through the life of King Chungnyol (r. 1274–1308) and the responses of such Confucian officials as Yi Sunghyu (1224–1300). King Chungnyol challenged Confucian norms in other ways when\, based on Northeast Asian uxorilocal marriage practices\, he returned to Korea with a Mongol wife and lifestyle. Yi and others pushed back against such “barbaric” practices\, in efforts to reify Confucian norms that emphasized Sinic-style bureaucracy and governance.\n\nGeorge Kallander is Assistant Professor of History at the Maxwell School\, Syracuse University\, where he teaches courses on Korea and East Asia. His first book\, Salvation through Dissent: Tonghak Heterodoxy and Early Modern Korea (UCLA\, Philosophy and Religion Series\, UHP\, February 2013)\, explores the Tonghak religion\, and includes annotated translations of numerous Tonghak primary sources. His second project\, entitled Korea in East Asia and the World (Rowman and Littlefield\, forthcoming)\, examines a period of Korean history characterized by new interactions from religious to material exchanges. Dr. Kallander has held fellowships at the Academy of Korean Studies\, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute (Columbia University)\, and a research Fulbright in Seoul\, Korea. He earned a Ph.D from Columbia University in 2006 under the guidance of Professor Emeritus Gari Ledyard.

This talk by Dr. Prita Meier\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign art historian and co-curator of the UMMA exhibition African Art and the Shape of Time (on view August 18\, 2012-February 3\, 2013)\, will consider why concepts of time and time-consciousness have received little attention in African art scholarship\, and will discuss the role of African artworks as “objects of time.” In doing so\, Dr. Meier will invite audiences to explore how a focus on the temporal side of things can engender new ways of experiencing African art and visual culture more generally.\n\nPrita Meier (PhD\, Harvard University) is Assistant Professor of African Art at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

DESCRIPTION:Physicists have developed the Standard Model to successfully explain the behavior of elementary particles and how they interact with each other to form protons\, nuclei\, atoms\, molecules\, wine\, beer\, people\, stars and all we see. The Standard Model has long predicted the Higgs Boson\, an elementary particle that must exist for the Standard Model to be correct\, and would be very unstable and difficult to detect. This past summer\, teams at the Large Hadron Collider finally found evidence consistent with its presence. What’s it all about? What’s the evidence? What does it mean? What are the next steps?

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.

Is he a boundary crosser\, who links isolated worlds\, opens new horizons\, and expands the realm of freedom\, or a warden\, who keeps us locked up in what has been called “the prison house of language?” Leo Strauss argued that translation\, being impossible\, should be reduced to mechanical transcription\, lest the translator’s fancy distort the coded esoteric messages of the great philosophical texts. I will show that Strauss was wrong\, using examples drawn from Tocqueville\, Proust\, Camus\, and others. And I will insist that knowledge\, being “local” in Geertz’s sense before it can aspire to be universal\, depends for its universality on the itinerant translator\, whose membership in more than one local community gives him privileged access to the secret life of language\, to the meaning that is only loosely linked to the words of a text and depends largely on its music.\n\nArthur Goldhammer is translator\, and senior affiliate at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. Goldhammer is currently working on a book about democracy in America since Tocqueville and translating books by Pierre Rosanvallon and Lucien Jaume. He has translated more than 110 books from the French. His new translation of Tocqueville's Ancien Régime and the Revolution appeared in 2011.

Yet pollinators are threatened by global environmental changes such as increasing human land use and climate change. My work integrates approaches from pollination biology\, landscape ecology\, and biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research to investigate how pollinators and the ecosystem services they provide can be maintained in human-dominated ecosystems. Dr. Winfree focuses on agricultural systems\, because they both drive global biodiversity loss\, and rely on the ecosystem services pollinators provide.

Living at the same time In these both parallel and different worlds\, Miao Xiaochun's creation presents more and more the duality of real and virtual not likely to be separated from each other. In a world wholly generated on a computer\, a ray of light flashed across a transcendental cosmos with more profound realistic significance.\n在今天这个科技高速发展的时代，似乎无人可以游离于虚拟世界之外而存在，正如我们无法脱离现实世界而生存。同时生活在这两个平行却不同的世界里，缪晓春的艺术创作越来越呈现出真实与虚幻难相分离的双重性。在一个完全由电脑生成的虚拟世界里，超验的精神时空闪现了更加深远的现实意义的光亮。\n\nPlease join us for a reception outside Forum Hall immediately after the lecture.\n\nThis event is made possible thanks to the Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College\, Traverse City.

His works have been exhibited and published worldwide. Running the Numbers looks at contemporary western culture through statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: two million plastic bottles (five minutes of bottle consumption in the US)\, 106\,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of our can consumption) and so on. Finding meaning in these mass phenomena can sometimes be difficult because the phenomena themselves are often invisible\, spread across the earth in millions of separate places. Jordan condenses these phenomena in his work\, causing uncomfortable feelings that\, for Jordan “can become part of what connects us\, serving as fuel for courageous individual and collective action as citizens of a new kind of global community.” In conjunction with a UM campus-wide exhibition of Jordan’s work. \n\nWith support from the UM Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise\, Graham Sustainability Institute\, College of Engineering\, School of Natural Resources and Environment\, Institute for Humanities\, Life Sciences Institute\, Arts Engine\, Program in the Environment\, and Chelsea River Gallery.\n UID:10854-1175259@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10854 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Michigan Theater, 603 East Liberty Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120925T152711 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121115T171000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121115T183000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speakers Series DESCRIPTION:September 27 - Documentalist Jennifer Karady has received acclaim for her large-scale staged portraits telling Soldiers’ Stories from Iraq and Afghanistan.
