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.

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. 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. 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:10076-1175144@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:20121125T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121125T170000 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. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Over four decades of mostly original songs exploring folk\, blues\, and jazz idioms\, she has created a repertory full of the stuff of life itself.

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:10076-1175145@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:20121126T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121126T170000 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:10076-1175146@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:20121127T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121127T170000 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 every case\, a socially stratified populace lived under a ruling party\, each with their own reactive strategies. This talk will explore the different literary modes with which both elites and non-elites in Mesopotamia and the Roman Empire expressed their approval towards or displeasure with the king (as in the case of the former) or the emperor (the case with the latter). Through a comparative and diachronic study\, I show that elite and non-elite interests in both cultures intertwine more than is usually recognized\, even in extreme cases with elite encouragement of non-elite concerns. Ultimately it was this mutual dialogue that dictated extant narratives about royal power in the Ancient World. More significantly\, textual references to authoritative regimes in both cultures reveal a consistent and continuous discourse towards power relationships that spanned many centuries.\n UID:10435-1174120@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10435 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:history,multicultural,roman empire LOCATION:202 S.

Dan Bern's songs are direct\, often very amusing\, and always on target musically. He's got a strong surrealistic streak\, a major strand of Dylan's influence\, and a great storyteller's eye.

Each artist approaches this in their own unique way\, and their work highlights the variety and beauty of this little known branch of origami. The artists hail from around the US\, and were selected for their expertise and artistry in folding these beautiful patterns. The show was curated by Beth Johnson and includes work by Malachi Brown\, Tom Crain\, Rebecca Harris\, Beth Johnson\, Chad Killeen and Ben Parker.\n\n1500 E.

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:10076-1175147@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:20121128T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121128T170000 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. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Collectivization in Romania affected twelve million of the country’s sixteen million inhabitants. This talk presents a snapshot of various effects of collectivization on everyday life\, exploring the transformation of social organization and hierarchies of social relations that resulted from this process. Especially significant were changes in gender roles and generational expectations. The bureaucratization of work transformed daily practice\, along with the personhood ideals associated with it. And the Party’s institutionalization brought the political center directly into village life\, thereby shaping the politicization of the rural world.\n\nGail Kligman is professor of sociology and director of the Center for European and Eurasian Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She completed her PhD at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and previously taught at the University of Chicago\, the University of Texas at Austin\, and Georgetown University. Her expertise spans the domains of women's studies\, anthropology\, and cultural studies. She has received a number of distinguished grants to support her research\, and her books have received some of the highest accolades in their respective fields. This talk is drawn from her most recent publication\, Peasants Under Siege: The Collectivization of Romanian Agriculture\, 1949-1962 (co-authored with Katherine Verdery). The book has received the following recognitions: 2012 Association for Slavic\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) Barbara Jelavich and Davis Center Book Prizes\, as well as Honorable Mention for the Wayne S. Vucinich Book Prize\; 2012 Association for Women in Slavic Studies (AWSS) Heldt Prize\; and 2012 American Sociological Association (ASA) Honorable Mentions in Political Sociology Section Best Book and Barrington Moore Best Book in Comparative-Historical Sociology.

There has been a good deal of talk lately to the effect that Miranda is dead or dying -- or might as well be dead.

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:10076-1175148@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:20121129T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121129T170000 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.

During that time\, Japanese baseball has developed such a unique character that at times it hardly resembles the American version from which it came. Brad Lefton has been covering baseball in both countries as a journalist since graduating from the University of Michigan in ’92 with an MA in Japanese Studies. From no reporters in the locker room to year round practice and more\, join him as he leads a discussion on many of the surprising differences and how they help to explain Japanese culture.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Brad Lefton has been communicating to Japanese and American audiences for two decades as a bilingual journalist specializing in baseball. He has worked on countless documentaries and other programs for networks such Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) and ESPN and has contributed to publications such as New York Times\, Seattle Times\, and Asahi Shimbun. After earning an MA in Japanese Studies from U-M\, Lefton worked for NHK in Tokyo. 1995 was a defining year for both Japan-U.S. relations in baseball and his career\; Hideo Nomo pitched for the Dodgers and Bobby Valentine managed the Chiba Lotte Marines. Lefton followed both events. He co-authored a book with Valentine\, Senbon Nokku wo Koete\, before returning to St. Louis from where he continues covering baseball in both countries.

They have already demonstrated significant improvements in electronic and optoelectronic device performance. These non fossil fuel-based photonic and electronic Biopolymer materials\, derived from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biowaste and silk\, are abundant\, inexpensive and green materials that will not deplete our natural resources or harm the environment. They have the potential to compete with\, or maybe someday even replace\, fossil fuel-based plastics for applications ranging from eyeglasses to the higher technology applications light emitting diodes\, transistors and solar cells. Preliminary in-house research in this area started around 1999 and since then low optical losses of < 0.5dB/cm over a broad wavelength have been achieved\, electrical conductivities 3-10 orders of magnitude higher than other polymer materials have also been achieved and they are tunable. Their microwave losses are also lower than other polymers\, making them very attractive for high speed electro-optic devices. Used as cladding layers in nonlinear polymer-based electro optic modulators a significant reduction in the overall optical insertion loss of these devices has been achieved\, dropping from 15 dB to 10dB\, or a 3X improvement. The first all-DNA electro-optic modulator\, with significantly lower losses than current polymer EO modulators has also been demonstrated and has the potential for operating at significantly lower power. Using another DNA-based Biopolymer for an electron-blocking layer in an organic light emitting diode (OLED)\, the first red\, blue and green Bio-Organic LEDs were demonstrated that were as much as 30X brighter and operated at 10X higher efficiency and 3X longer lifetimes compared with OLED’s without the Biopolymer electron-blocking layer. Using a DNA-based Biopolymer for the gate dielectric layer in an organic field effect transistor (OFET)\, the first Bio-Organic FET was demonstrated that operated at nearly an order of magnitude lower gate voltage compared with OFETs using the commonly used dielectric polymers for the gate dielectric. Using Biopolymers as host materials\, a significant increase the photoluminescence of fluorescent materials by as much as 100 times has been achieved\, when compared with other commonly used polymer hosts. This suggests significantly increased device efficiencies\, higher outputs\, lower operating powers and longer lifetimes. The first organic thin film transistor (OTFT) using a conductive polymer doped Biopolymer for the semiconductor region (Bio-Organic TFT) has been demonstrated with a competitive carrier mobility of other organic semiconductor devices but at 10X lower cost. This new Biotronics technology shows great promise for a number of both photonic and electronic applications\, with demonstrated increase in device performance. This opens up a whole new field for bioengineering\, in addition to the current genomic sequencing and clinical diagnosis and treatment applications. Where silicon is today’s fundamental building block for inorganic electronics and photonics\, Biopolymers hold promise to become tomorrow’s fundamental building block for organic photonics and electronics.

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:10076-1175149@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:20121130T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121130T170000 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. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

This river\, which flows about 6 miles from Taipei to the northern port city of Tamsui\, has captured the imagination of creative artists for decades. Paintings\, songs\, and other creative works from the first half of the twentieth century cast the river in idyllic settings. These images stand in stark contrast to the Tamsui as it has existed since the mid twentieth century. As Taiwan's \"economic miracle\" took precedence over environmental concerns\, the Tamsui turned into a toxic\, open sewer. The river's serious pollution became the subject of films\, theatrical pieces\, and numerous popular songs beginning in the early 1980s. Guy draws on the theories and concerns of literary ecocriticism in referencing representative works.

Mohler Prize Lecture DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Astronomy Department will present the 2012/2013 Mohler Prize to Andrew Fabian of the Institute of Astronomy on Friday\, November 30 at 7 PM in 1201 Chemistry Bldg. Dr. Fabian will then present a public lecture:\n\n\"Feedback from Active Black Holes: How a central black hole can control a galaxy\"\n\nAll large galaxies appear to have a central black hole with a mass about 0.1% that of the host galaxy. Evidence is growing that the black hole may be the prime mover here\, despite the radius of the galaxy being a billion times larger than the radius of the black hole. The key point is the enormous quantity of energy produced by matter accreting onto the black hole. At times this makes the galaxy nucleus active and cause energy to be fed back into the galaxy to push and heat its gas clouds. How these processes operate and how the energy interacts with the gas will be discussed and illustrated with images from the radio through X-ray wavebands.\n\nDr. Andrew Fabian is a Royal Society Research Professor at the Institute of Astronomy\, Cambridge. He has served as President of the Royal Astronomical Society and is Vice Master of Darwin College\, Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society\, has been awarded an Order of the British Empire\, won the Rossi Prize in 2001\, and the Dannie Heineman Prize in 2008. His research interests include black holes\, clusters of galaxies\, and X-ray astronomy.\n\nOrren C Mohler was chairman of the Department of Astronomy and director of the observatories from 1962 - 1970. The Mohler Prize was established in 1986\, to recognize outstanding research in astronomy and astrophysics.

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:10076-1175150@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:20121201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121201T170000 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.
