His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community?

The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176728@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121116T150255 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130228T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130228T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) In contrast to most Japanese novels\, Haruki Murakami’s \"1Q84\" came out in a number of European languages before it appeared in English in fall 2011. This talk analyzes how the process of translation was affected by the absence of a “hegemonic” English version and discusses whether European versions are in fact more “faithful” to the original. It examines the original techniques Murakami used in his last novel and how they were reflected (or lost) in different translations. It also discusses the unprecedented degree of communication and collaboration between European translators during the translation process.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Anna Zielinska-Elliott is a translator of modern Japanese literature into Polish. She has translated Mishima Yukio\, Yoshimoto Banana\, and most of the work of Murakami Haruki. Educated in Poland and Japan\, she holds a PhD in Japanese literature from the University of Warsaw. She teaches Japanese language\, literature\, and translation at Boston University.

Seminar Series: Batya Friedman DESCRIPTION:Tools and technologies are fundamental to the human condition. They do no less than create and structure the conditions in which we live\, express ourselves\, enact society\, and experience what it means to be human. Yet\, with our limited view\, it is not at all obvious how to design tools and technology so that they are more likely to support the actions\, relationships\, institutions\, and experiences that we care about.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Batya Friedman will explore the question of how to design information and computing technology to be sensitive to human values and concerns. She will draw from over two decades of design work and theory development\, touching on issues of medical device security\, privacy in publics\, and international justice.\n\nDr. Friedman pioneered value sensitive design (VSD)\, an approach to account for human values in the design of information systems. First developed in human-computer interaction\, VSD has since been used in information management\, human-robotic interaction\, computer security\, civil engineering\, applied philosophy\, and land use and transportation.\n\nA reception will follow the talk.

Models with a nitrogen cycle generally predict that a large fraction of the sink will disappear by midcentury because of nitrogen limitation. The models all include some form of Liebig’s Law of the Minimum for nitrogen. All models currently predict that water limited systems will see large and sustained sinks because water use efficiency is increased by elevated CO2. However\, FACE experiments and other recent evidence implies that the opposite is true: CO2 fertilization sinks are observed to persist despite N-limitation and the benefits of enhanced water use efficiency have not been observed. We developed a mechanistic version of forest simulation models with competition for light\, water and nutrients that can be analyzed mathematically. We used it to compute the most competitive strategies of allocation to foliage\, stem wood and fine roots as a function of soils and climate. When fertilized by CO2\, these most competitive strategies predict the results of FACE experiments and the opposite of previous global models: sustained CO2 sinks in the face of N-limitation and the absence of sinks in water –limited systems. I explain the cause of these results\, the mechanism behind them and how one would test them in the field.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176729@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130222T003720 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130301T111000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Drop in And Draw: Fridays in the Gallery DESCRIPTION:This drop-in gallery class offers an opportunity to be more than a spectator at the Museum.

This deformation history\, together with the history of exhumation revealed by thermochronologic studies\, suggest that plateau-like conditions were established in central Tibet by 45 Ma. Initial subduction of 'Greater Indian' lithosphere- the lithosphere that was previously positioned between India and Asia but has since been consumed beneath Tibet- ignited a magmatic flare-up in southern Tibet. Beginning at ~46 Ma\, magmatism swept >400 km north of the Indus-Yarlung suture (IYS)\, and may record northward underthrusting of Greater India during Eo-Oligocene time. Subsequent rollback of Greater India during Oligo-Miocene time can explain an observed\, southward return sweep in magmatism and localized extension along the IYS (and South Tibetan Detachment) at this time. Renewed northward underthrusting of Greater India lithosphere initiated at ~16 Ma and led to the initiation of E-W extension and eventual cessation of volcanism in southern Tibet. Epsilon Hf values of zircon in igneous rocks attributed to underthrusting and rollback of Greater India show systematic temporal sweeps to more evolved and juvenile signatures\, respectively\, adding support to the tectonic interpretations. The proposed scenario shows that more than half of the >3000 km of convergence between India and Asia since initial collision could have been accommodated by northward subduction of Greater Indian lithosphere. This result is consistent with paleomagnetic studies and kinematic restorations of Cenozoic deformation in Asia\, but is at odds with estimates of shortening ( UID:11410-1176868@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11410 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:subduction,tibet LOCATION:1100 North University Building - 1528 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130226T163847 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130301T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130301T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Fun Friday Night at the Museum DESCRIPTION:Experience the Museum at night – we’ll be open until 9 pm!

Superficially a story of a peasant’s revenge\, the play interweaves darkness\, nightmare\, fear and mystery in the style of expressionist theatre. The protagonist’s feelings of guilt and eventual suicide relate to the rivalry for exclusive affection between a possessive old mother and a beautiful but jealous wife\, as well as the primitive passions\, sexual deprivation and defiant courage of life in this remote environment. The film was shot in 1981 but was banned from the public audience until 1988. As soon as it was released\, it won China’s film award ”˜Hundred Flowers Award’ and when it was taken to the Venice Film Festival\, it was ranked as the ”˜Best Recommended Film’. The one-hour-forty-five-minute film was directed by Ling Zi\, a female stage/film director\, stared by Yang Zaibao (Qiu Hu) and Liu Xiaoqing (Jinzi). Liu won the 1988 Best Actress Prize for acting the role.

Though its long shadows and dark corners make this country queen'\;s realm feel intimate\, her sovereign domain stretches as far as the imagination.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176730@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130302T000009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130302T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Second Dissertation Recital: Ellen Breakfield Glick\, clarinet DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Widor - Introduction et rondo\, op. 72\; Messiaen - Quatuor pour la fin du temps UID:12611-1181670@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12611 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION:Earl V.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176731@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130221T074403 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130303T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different? DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176732@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130227T082122 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130304T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130304T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Recent Acquisitions: Building on the Clements Collections DESCRIPTION:The Clements Library never stops adding to its collections of primary source material.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\".

A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176733@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130220T092436 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130305T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130305T130000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Department of Biological Chemistry Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:description UID:12615-1181674@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12615 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biological chemistry LOCATION:Medical Science Unit II - North Lecture Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130228T100848 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130305T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130305T130000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Winter Break Drop-in Schedule DESCRIPTION:Looking for something special to do during winter break?

Formed in 1989 by a group of five musicians who came together to record an album of local music which was released as \"The Boys of Sligo.\" Inspired by the project\, they decided to develop this informal gathering (which gathered weekly to play sessions in local pubs) into a working band under the name Dervish\, which was chosen as it related to any group of spiritual people who become enraptured by music. They've shared stages with the likes of James Brown\, Buena Vista Social Club\, Oasis\, Sting\, REM\, and Beck\, and by now they're guaranteed sellouts at the biggest halls and folk festivals in Ireland. Yet they don't tour too terribly often in North America! This is pure Irish music at its best–not to be missed.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176734@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130116T113915 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130306T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130306T150000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Camera Club in the Digital Age–OLLI Study Group (50+) DESCRIPTION:Are you shooting\, printing and e-mailing photos?
