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.

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.

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:11346-1176745@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:20121126T141508 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130317T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Introduction to Philippine Orchid Species DESCRIPTION:A discussion by Mac Rivenbark\, owner of a business specializing in Philippine orchids\, about the natural history of orchids from that country.

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.

Please register to secure your place by emailing umma-tours@umich.edu.\n\nExhibition co-curator\, Professor of Anthropology and Director of Museum Studies Carla Sinopoli will lead this in-gallery program for adults. In 1932\, “Michigan Man” Walter Norman Koelz traveled to northwest India\, leading a scientific expedition into Himalayan regions\, which included the Westernmost outpost of Tibetan culture. Among the twelve large crates Koelz shipped to Ann Arbor---containing thousands of plant and animal specimens and more than 600 objects\, including paintings\, textiles\, bronzes\, jewelry\, wooden moulds and stamps\, and bone artifacts\, preserved today at the Museum of Anthropology---were the paintings and other objects on display in Buddhist Thangkas and Treasures. This informal gallery talk will offer an opportunity to look more closely at the items in the exhibition\, placing them in the context of Koelz ambitions to create a collection of Tibetan artifacts for the University\, and the journey he undertook to reach that goal.\n\nThe exhibition Buddhist Thangkas and Treasures: The Walter Koelz Collection\, Museum of Anthropology is part of the UM Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The UM Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

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 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:11346-1176746@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:20130305T123824 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130318T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130318T133000 SUMMARY:Presentation: \"Aging with the Patients: Lessons I Have Learnt\" DESCRIPTION:Dr. Patricia Davidson\, Professor and Director of the Centre for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care\, Faculty of Health\, University of Technology Sydney\, Australia\, is a visiting professor for the Hillman Scholars Program.\n\nAn accomplished researcher\, Dr Davidson is internationally recognized for her contribution to advancing the science of nursing by improving health outcomes for patients and families affected by chronic illness\, particularly cardiovascular disease\, in a variety of care settings.

But Rocky's roots in the blues go back to the Midwest and South. About 15 years ago\, Rocky put down his electric guitar and started an odyssey into the songs\, music\, and life of Robert Johnson. Rocky Lawrence had already made a reputation for himself as a brilliant electric blues guitarist on the East Coast and in the Midwest. A student of Muddy Waters\, Hubert Sumlin\, and Johnny \"Clyde\" Copeland\, he was no stranger to the blues scene. For three years\, fifteen hours a day\, seven days a week\, Rocky learned and relearned every note\, every tuning\, every vocal inflection of Robert Johnson's fabled 29 songs. Today\, Rocky tours the country educating university students on the historical significance of the Robert Johnson songbook as it relates to the history of popular music worldwide. Using Robert Johnson as the starting point\, Rocky traces the family tree of music through its triumphant climb over the last 70 years\, and then drives the point home with an acoustic performance that truly says it all.

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.

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.

However\, many of the achievements attributed to him may not have taken place. Wallenberg was a less important figure to the Jews of Budapest than Dr. Lutz\, the Swiss diplomat. The prevailing view in the first decades after the Holocaust was that the Jews of Europe “went to death like lemmings.” The glorification of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising implies that it was more honorable to die in the streets of Warsaw than in gas chambers of Treblinka\, but survivors like Dr. Tanay\, the instructor for this class\, believe that it was more honorable to struggle to survive than to be killed in a futile effort to resist.\n UID:12779-1182205@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:history,jewish resistance,lifelong learning,olli,retirement LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Clarion Hotel & Conference Center, 2900 Jackson Ave CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130124T115358 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130319T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130319T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:El Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You About Africa DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a major retrospective of African artist El Anatsui\, who is widely knowns for monumental wall sculptures made from discarded bottle tops.

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:11346-1176747@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:20130102T124644 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130319T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130319T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCS Noon Lecture Series DESCRIPTION:A talk by Martin Powers\, Sally Michelson Davidson Professor of Chinese Arts and Cultures\, University of Michigan.

In the past three decades\, topics of interest within HCI have migrated from usability of desktop computers for office workers to complex\, societal problems including healthcare and sustainability. Forlizzi finds that current HCI approaches\, inspired by user-centered design\, are insufficient to appropriately take on these new challenges. Instead\, Forlizzi proposes that we take a service design approach and conceive of product service systems to look at problems holistically\, and to consider the implications of what we might design.\n\nJodi Forlizzi is an Associate Professor of Design and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University\, in Pittsburgh\, PA. She also leads the Human-Systems Interaction Group of the Quality of Life Technology Center\, an NSF Engineering Research Center. Jodi is an interaction designer who examines theories of experience\, emotion\, and social product use as they relate to interaction design.

Along with Kyrgyzstan and Moldova\, it is the most democratic country in the former Soviet Union outside the Baltic States. The October 2012 parliamentary elections witnessed a rare peaceful transfer of power at the ballot box. Yet Georgia resists easy definition. Europe\, Russia\, the United States\, and Georgian nationalist tendencies all compete for space in Georgian society. For 20 years the country has had a strongly pro-Western foreign policy and difficult relations with Russia\, yet opinion polls suggest that Georgians are more favorable towards Russians than Turks. Georgia has suffered by begin idealized as a beacon of democracy by outsiders with their own ideological agendas\, but much of what is described as democracy in Georgia may be better termed competition or pluralism. In this lecture Thomas de Waal will aim to unravel some of the historical and political mysteries of this intriguing country.\n\nThomas de Waal is a senior associate in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\, specializing primarily in the South Caucasus region\, as well as in the wider Black Sea region. He is an expert on the unresolved conflicts of the South Caucasus: Abkhazia\, Nagorny Karabakh\, and South Ossetia. De Waal has worked as a journalist for the BBC World Service\, the Moscow Times\, the Times of London\, and the Economist. He is the co-author (with Carlotta Gall) of the book Chechnya: Calamity in the Caucasus (NYU Press\, 1997)\, for which the authors were awarded the James Cameron Prize for Distinguished Reporting.

Using new research to explore the intimate lives of novelists\, poets\, and critics during the Cold War\, Wald reveals a radical community longing for the rebirth of the social vision of the 1930s and struggling with a loss of moral certainty as the Communist worldview was being called into question. The resulting literature\, Wald shows\, is a haunting record of fracture and struggle linked by common structures of feeling\, ones more suggestive of the \"negative dialectics\" of Theodor Adorno than the traditional social realism of the Left.\n\nAlan M. Wald is the H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor of English Literature and American Culture at the University of Michigan and is the recipient of the Mary C. Turpie Prize of the American Studies Association. The rest of his trilogy includes Exiles from a Future Time: The Forging of the Mid-Twentieth-Century Literary Left and Trinity of Passion: The Literary Left and the Antifascist Crusade.

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 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:11346-1176748@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:20130206T091807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130320T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130320T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Title IX Was Necessary\, Imperfect + Polarizing: Now What?

Remarkable abundance translated into remarkable civic contentment\, and there was hope that this unique reformist brand of socialism could\, with time\, offer a material Good Life to rival the capitalist West. But many Yugoslavs\, both inside and outside the circles of official power\, worried about the contradiction between the dictates of Marxist ideology and the population'\;s enthusiasm for consumption. The result was a heated public debate over creeping consumerist values\, with the new way of life finding fierce critics and\, surprisingly for a communist country\, many passionate\, vocal\, and very public defenders. Ultimately\, the broadly shared consumer culture that prevailed during the 1960s and 1970s was a central factor in creating a genuinely pan-Yugoslav sense of belonging\, a critical form of social glue that held the multiethnic society together. But with the economic downturn of the 1980s\, the unsustainable reliance on ever-expanding abundance led to bitter disillusionment\, stripping the unique Yugoslav model of its legitimacy\, removing an essential source of cohesion\, and priming the populace for mutual resentment\, ethnic conflict\, and war.\n\nPatrick Hyder Patterson is associate professor of history at the University of California\, San Diego. His research centers on the history of 20th-century Eastern Europe and the Balkans\, with major emphases on everyday life and consumer culture and on the interplay of Islam\, Christianity\, and secular society. Recent projects have coupled a concern for Yugoslavia and the Balkans with a comparative consideration of Eastern Europe'\;s northern tier\, drawing on sources from Hungary\, Czechoslovakia\, and the German Democratic Republic. He holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Michigan\, and recently published Bought and Sold: Living and Losing the Good Life in Socialist Yugoslavia (Cornell University Press\, 2011).

Also in support of anti-aseptic (and even a bit dirty) web design is Russian-born net artist Olia Lialina who\, in her 2011 talk at the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, advocated a future web aesthetic chalked full of unicorns\, skulls\, simple animated GIFs\, personal journal entries\, and naïve\, amateur-looking home pages. Going back to “amateur graphics\,” Lialina argues\, resists 2.0’s corporate and professional look\, which acts as a disinfectant to personal expression.\n\nBut what happens when these alternative methods are placed in the broader context of the history of aesthetic computing and the development of digital graphics? Do these anti-stylistic calls to arms suffice as a critical model? In this talk\, I answer these questions through an archaeology of digital compositing\, beginning with its prehistory in chromakey\, the development of the frame buffer in the 1970s\, and the alpha channel in 1984. With this history in mind\, I then move into an analysis of contemporary web aesthetics\, as illustrated in the “2.0 look” and its counterpart in dirt style.\n\nCarolyn L.

A public reception follows the event.\n\nMothers of young children are the fastest-growing population of incarcerated persons in the United States today. Policing practices that target poor women of childbearing age–many of them women of color\, most convicted of nonviolent crimes–have halted these women's heterosexual sex lives and reproductive opportunities as effectively as coercive sterilization programs interrupted the fertility of numerous welfare recipients in the 1970s. These practices arguably function as a contemporary extension of population policies embedded in US laws governing slavery and immigration since the 18th century. \n\nThe lecture is presented by Rickie Solinger\, a historian writing books about reproductive politics\, welfare politics\, who gets to be a \"legitimate mother\" in the United States\, and the relationships of race and class to this issue. For more than two decades\, Solinger has been curating traveling exhibitions about these matters\, aiming to \"interrupt the curriculum.\" UID:12012-1181635@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12012 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african and afroamerican studies,irwg,multicultural,social justice,women's studies LOCATION:Lane Hall - 2239 Lane Hall, 204 S.

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.

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 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.

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:11346-1176749@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:20130301T110435 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130321T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130321T143000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Advanced French–OLLI Study Group (50+) DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of the fall class in French competency.

Wald\, H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor of English and American Culture\, on the occasion of his retirement from teaching at the University of Michigan after 38 years on the faculty. The event celebrates Professor Wald's contributions to expanding the scope of U.S. literary studies and building American Culture at Michigan. Distinguished guest speakers will present new scholarship regarding literature and leftwing political movements worldwide.\n\nAlan Wald is the world's leading authority on the relation between 20th-century U.S. literature and radical left-wing political movements. His books and articles have illuminated the creative lives of figures such as James T. Farrell\, Langston Hughes\, Muriel Rukeyser\, Philip Rahv\, Richard Wright\, Ralph Ellison\, and Arthur Miller--and have brought attention to unduly neglected writers such as Ann Petry\, Jo Sinclair\, Carlos Bulosan\, and Joy Davidman. These are just a handful of the writers who figure in Wald's magisterial studies in modern American culture.\n\nThursday\, March 21 \n1 pm: Founders Room\, Alumni Center \n* Welcome to conference:\n Prof. Terrence McDonald\, \n Dean\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\;\n Prof. Paula Rabinowitz\, University of Minnesota\n\n1:15-3:15 (Panel A)\nREADING THE OLD LEFT NOW \n”¢ Julia Mickenberg\, University of Texas\, “U.S. Women\, the Pilgrimage to Russia\, and the Question of Stalinism” \n”¢ Sarah Ehlers\, University of South Dakota\, “Left of Lyric: Depression-era Poetry and Collective Life”\n”¢ Keith Gilyard\, Pennsylvania State University\, “John Henry in the Work of John Oliver Killens”\n”¢ Heather Bowen-Struyk\, University of Michigan\, “The Resurgence of Proletarian Literature in Japan in 2008”\n\n4:00 KEYNOTE ADDRESS\n* Michael Löwy\, Research Director emeritus\, CNRS\, Paris:\n“Jewish Radicals in Central Europe and the US: A Comparative Approach”\n\n\n UID:12955-1182552@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12955 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:literary,multicultural,social justice LOCATION:Alumni Center - Founders Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130227T082122 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130321T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130321T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Recent Acquisitions: Building on the Clements Collections DESCRIPTION:The Clements Library never stops adding to its collections of primary source material.

The perceived tension between design and research is indicative of the field of architecture seeking to understand its nature as an applied art.\nThrough a grant program at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, researchers challenge that perception. Research Through Making\, a competitive grant for faculty now in its fourth year\, provides seed funding for a yearlong investigation into the application of design to research.\nThe results of their study are presented in an exhibition open from 3-7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday\, through April 21\, at the Liberty Research Annex Gallery\, 305 W. Liberty St.\n “The broad reach of this year’s projects – which include considering architecture as an experiment in domesticity\, experimenting with structures that are composed to decompose\, and articulating urban emptiness – speaks to both the creativity and intellectual rigor that our faculty bring to the fundamental link between design and research\,” says Taubman College Dean Monica Ponce de Leon.\n UID:12942-1182481@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12942 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Liberty Research Annex Gallery, 305 W.

Gene duplication and divergence have produced a phytochrome family with two key players\, phyA and phyB. They occur in all sampled seed plants and they function complementarily and antagonistically in open and shaded habitats to promote development in all terrestrial ecosystems. Episodes of positive selection and radical amino acid replacement mark several branches in the phytochrome phylogeny\, concentrated in the phyA lineage. We hypothesize that amino acid residues at the affected sites are candidate determinants of phyA and phyB specificity and we are testing this using site-directed mutagenesis. Other projects in the lab use data from phytochrome genes to infer organismal phylogenies\, sometimes yielding trees that conflict with those from using phylogenomic approaches. It is not clear that this results simply from biases in single gene results.

Wilson of Columbia University to discuss her 2012 book Negro Building: Black Americans in the World of Fairs and Museums. Professor Wilson will be joined for this event by UM Professors Kevin K. Gaines (History and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies) and Magdalena J. Zaborowska (American Culture and DAAS). \n\nNegro Building examines the history of exhibitions about black Americans\, from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement\, focusing on the increasing curatorial participation of African Americans themselves and the formative role of this participation in the development of models of identity and of a black American public sphere. \n\nMabel O. Wilson directs the Program for Advanced Architectural Research at Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation. Like the book that she will be discussing for this event\, she navigates in her scholarly work and her studio practice between the fields of architecture\, art\, and cultural history. Her scholarly essays have appeared in numerous journals and books on critical geography\, memory studies\, art and architecture. Her studio work has been exhibited at the Wexner Center for the Arts\, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum’s Triennial\, the Storefront for Art and Architecture\, and SF Cameraworks. \n\nDr. Wilson’s interlocutors for this event bring a wealth of knowledge about the central roles played by African Americans in twentieth-century American cultural history and the formation of notions of American identity. Dr. Kevin G. Gaines is the Robert Hayden Collegiate Professor of History and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan. His most recent book is American Africans in Ghana: Black Expatriates in the Civil Rights Era (2006). Dr. Magdalena J. Zaborowska is a Professor in American Culture and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor\, and are free of charge and open to the public.\n\nJanuary 17: RENOIR and SURREALIST PARIS in Black & White \nA short film directed by Renoir in the late twenties\, right after he had discovered jazz\, Sur un air de Charleston is a little masterpiece\, albeit unknown\, of the silent movie period. In 2028 Paris\, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There\, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer\, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\nAn essay in reverse anthropology\, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville\, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties\, it can be construed as a critique of France’s racial context\, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus\, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \nTwo musicians\, Olivier Thémines and Guillaume Hazebrouck\, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a ciné-concert/conference. The movie\, accompanied by a live original music\, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \n\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike\, Inc.\, Beaverton\, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects\, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990\, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s\, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997\, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand\, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003\, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court\, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear\, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams\, and Roger Federer. Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Wilson one of America’s Top Black Designers. \n\nJanuary 31: LISA STRAUSFELD\nLisa Strausfeld’s work lies at the intersection of physical and virtual space: where information structures and physical structures meet\, and where the navigation of information and the navigation of buildings join in a single experience. She and her team specialize in digital information projects including the design of large-scale media installations\, software prototypes and user interfaces\, signage and websites for a broad range of civic\, cultural and corporate clients including One Laptop per Child\, GE\, Litl\, Bloomberg\, Gallup\, The New York Times\, M.I.T.\, Brown University\, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\nStrausfeld holds four patents relating to user interfaces and intelligent search and retrieval\, and in 2006 she was named to the Senior Scientist program at the Gallup Organization. In addition to many awards and honors\, Strausfeld was selected as one of Fast Company's \"Masters of Design\" in 2009 and received the National Design Award in the category of Interaction Design in 2010.\n\nFebruary 7: El ANATSUI\nEl Anatsui was born in Anyanko\, Ghana in 1944. Many of Anatsui’s sculptures are mutable in form\, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood\, clay\, metal\, and–most recently–the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles\, Anatsui breaks with sculpture’s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa\, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction\, transformation\, and regeneration) in everyday life\, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art\, University of Science and Technology\, Kumasi\, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; Indianapolis Museum of Art\; British Museum\, London\; and Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute\, Williamstown (2011)\; Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto (2010)\; National Museum of Ethnology\, Osaka (2010)\; Rice University Art Gallery\, Houston (2010)\; Venice Biennale (2007)\; and the Biennale of African Art\, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka\, Nigeria.\n\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life\, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction\, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms “arte de conducta” (conduct/behavior art) and “arte útil” (useful art) define her practice. In 2010\, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International\, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique\, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of “useful art\,” by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society’s urgent social\, political\, and scientific issues.\nBruguera’s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11\, Kassel\, Germany and several biennials including Performa\, Venice\, Gwangju\, and Havana. She has exhibited at the Tate Modern\, London\; Künsthalle Wien\, Vienna\; Centre Pompidou\, Paris\; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York. \n\nMarch 14: LYNDA BARRY\nLynda Barry has worked as a painter\, cartoonist\, writer\, illustrator\, playwright\, editor\, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip that was syndicated across North America in alternative weeklies for two decades\, Ernie Pook's Comeek\, as well as the books One! Hundred! Demons!\, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!\, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel\, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! and The Good Times are Killing Me\, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. In 2011\, Drawn & Quarterly published Blabber Blabber Blabber\, the first in a 10-volume retrospective series of her comics work. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly\, What It Is (2008)\, won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on “Writing the Unthinkable”\, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful\, powerful\, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010)\, Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination\, where play can be serious\, monsters have purpose\, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\n\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981\, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North as the “most influential documentary of all time\,” and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the “most influential documentary makers” of all time. In March\, 2009\, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said\, “”¦ Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day\, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films\, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.” The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films\, “More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.” Ken’s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations\, and in September of 2008\, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards\, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War\, Baseball\, Jazz\, Thomas Jefferson\, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Mark Twain\, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson\, The War\, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea\, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\n\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a. Alina Troyano) is a performance artist\, playwright\, and actor. Troyano burst on New York’s downtown performing arts scene in the eighties with her alter ego\, the spitfire Carmelita Tropicana and her counterpart\, the irresistible archetypal Latin macho Pingalito Betancourt\, followed by performances as Hernando Cortez’s horse and la Cucaracha Martina from her childhood fairy tales in Cuba. In Tropicana’s work humor and fantasy become subversive tools to rewrite history.\nTropicana’s performances plays and videos have been presented at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in London\, Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin\, Centre de Cultura Contemporanea in Barcelona\, the Berlin International Film Festival\, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York\, the Mark Taper Forum’s Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles\, and El Museo del Barrio in New York. Her work has received funding support from the Independent Television Service\, the Jerome Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Suitcase Fund. She has received numerous awards including the prestigious Anonymous Was a Woman and fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts as well as an Obie for Sustained Excellence in Performance. She is the author of a collection of performance pieces and short essays called I\, Carmelita Tropicana: Performing between Cultures (2000).\n\nApril 4: PAOLA ANTONELLI\nPerspectives\nPaola Antonelli is Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design and Director of Research and Development at the Museum of Modern Art. Her first MOMA exhibition was\, Mutant Materials in Contemporary Design (1995). Her latest exhibition was 2011’s Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects. Antonelli earned the “Design Mind” Smithsonian Institution’s National Design Award and was named one of the 25 most incisive design visionaries by Time Magazine. She has been a contributing Editor for Domus magazine\, an editor of Abitare\, and the author of the publication Humble Masterpieces: Everyday Marvels of Design. Antonelli’s goal is to insistently promote design’s understanding until its positive influence on the world is fully acknowledged and exploited. She is currently at work on contemporary design exhibitions\, and on Design Bites\, a book about foods as examples of outstanding design. \nPaola Antonelli's lecture\, originally scheduled for November 1\, 2012\, will take place on April 4\, 2013.\nWith support from Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nApril 11: MASSIMO BANZI\nMassimo Banzi is the co-founder of the Arduino project.

Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time. The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.

What grabs you first about Rachael is the voice\, with a bluesy richness that will make you pull off the road to listen. Add in some incisive songwriting\, and you have a Michigan artist with a strong and growing following. Says songwriter Susan Werner: \"We don't have Eva Cassidy anymore\, but we do have Rachael Davis.\" Because Rachael has been swayed by so many different types of music\, her style is difficult to file and will not languorously under broader musical genres. Rachael’s slant on acoustic music can aptly be explained by a cassette mixtape that her father played during her early childhood in the family’s Chevy Cavalier station wagon\, “Iggy.” On one side of the cassette was the soundtrack for the film \"The Big Chill\"\; on the other side was John Hartford’s “Aereo-Plane”. Countless hours of riding and listening during such a critical period for a receptive child had a lasting impression and thus created Rachael's very own category of acoustic music that she calls \"Motown-Banjo.\" UID:12298-1180775@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12298 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,rachael davis,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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.

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.

This course examines the individual artists of the ”˜golden age of comedy’ and considers the more general question\, why is the funny so funny?

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:11346-1176750@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:20130317T002847 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130322T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130322T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: Mitchell Silver\, American Planning Association DESCRIPTION: Mitchell Silver is Chief Planning & Development Officer and Planning Director for the City of Raleigh\, North Carolina and is also president (2011-2013) of the American Planning Association (APA).

The buildings\, projects\, publications\, teachings and writings associated with his office have been influential in the acceptance and use of advanced materials and technologies for design and fabrication. As design opportunities today extend across multiple scales and media\, his studio Greg Lynn FORM continues to define the cutting edge of design in a variety of fields.\n\nLynn has received numerous awards including the American Academy of Arts & Letters Architecture Award in 2003. In 2001\, Time Magazine named Lynn one of 100 of the most innovative people in the world for the 21st century. In 2005\, Forbes Magazine named him one of the ten most influential living architects. In 2008\, he won the Golden Lion at the 11th International Venice Biennale of Architecture. In 2010\, he was awarded a fellowship from United States Artists.\n\nHis work is in the permanent collections of the most important design and architecture museums in the world including the CCA\, SFMoMA\, ICA Chicago and MoMA. Because of his early studies in philosophy and architecture he has been involved in combining the realities of design and construction with the speculative\, theoretical and experimental potentials of writing and teaching. This unique and innovative approach to design has also established him as an influential figure across many disciplines and led to consultations and collaborations with companies like BMW\, Swarovski\, Alessi\, Vitra\, Disney and Imaginary Forces.\n\nIn 2002\, he left his position as the Professor of Spatial Conception and Exploration at the ETHZ (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) and became an Ordentlicher University Professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. He is a Studio Professor at UCLA’s school of Architecture and Urban Design where he is currently spearheading the development of an experimental research robotics lab. Since 2000\, he has been the Davenport Visiting Professor at Yale University.\n\nLynn graduated from Miami University of Ohio with degrees in both architecture and philosophy and later from Princeton University where he received his Master of Architecture.

Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time. The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.

Born Kevin Moore and a native of the same South Los Angeles streets that spawned hip-hop's most aggressive strand\, he grew up with the blues and turned to the acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta after playing a bluesman in a Los Angeles stage production. As he built up a repertory of original songs rooted in country blues\, he began to stand apart from other blues revivalists through the inspiring quality of his music. Keb' Mo' draws on the spirituality inherent in the blues even as he writes about his modern surroundings. Keb' Mo's latest album\, \"The Reflection\,\" captures his musical spirit and virtuosity at its peak. His new songs have a deep emotional wisdom and reveal a master at blending blues\, jazz\, R&B\, and soul through melody and rhythm. This show is SOLD OUT!

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.

Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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:11346-1176751@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:20130221T141235 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Families of the Incarcerated DESCRIPTION:Please come join us for a unique event that offers an incredible\, and often unheard\, perspective from the families affected by the American Judicial system.

Often the way contemporary artists use various media\, like video\, performance\, or social action may be enigmatic and hard to penetrate at first. This looking laboratory will introduce new ways of seeing and engaging in the poetry of experience that such works attempt to communicate. The workshop will culminate in a collaborative activity that uses the space of the museum and the street as a matrix for a larger group work of art. All levels welcome\; no experience necessary.

Jenkins tells the story of two people\, Anthony\, a black man\, and Lucy\, a white woman\, who return to Detroit after a long absence to find a very different city. They grew up on the east side in different worlds only three blocks from each other\, together survived the events of July 1967–alternately described as a riot and a rebellion–and now meet again forty years later. As they revisit their past through Anthony’s paintings\, they come to a new understanding of their relationship to each other and the future of the city. Two actors play all the characters in Spirit\, demonstrating our connections to each other\, even in our moments of deepest conflict. The Spirit of Detroit reminds us why we stayed\, why we left\, why we came back and why we’re here now–the opportunity to create a twenty-first century Detroit. The play\, which has had staged readings at Matrix Theatre in Detroit\, will be directed by Kate Mendeloff of the UM Residential College. It is a featured program University of Michigan’s LSA Winter 2013 Theme Semester Understanding Race. http://understandingraceproject.org/ UID:12660-1181849@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12660 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:theater,theatre LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130211T195817 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T210000 SUMMARY:Community Service:UM SOUP: A Dinner Funding Micro-Grants for Creative Projects in Ann Arbor DESCRIPTION:UM SOUP is inspired by Detroit SOUP\, an organization founded in 2010.Like our counterpart\, we provide the unique opportunity for your vision to be funded and supported by your community.

Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time. The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.
