SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blown Away: epiphany studios glass
DESCRIPTION:A glassmaker from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, April Wagner creates beautiful hand-blown glass at her studio – epiphany studios in Pontiac\, Michigan. Wagner has been working with molten glass since 1993\, and she creates each piece by hand working at a 2000 °F furnace.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper).

Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain. Linda Stephen's origami art landscapes are part of public and private collections across the U.S. and Japan\, from the JW Marriott Grand Rapids’ Sister City Collection to the City Hall in Omihachiman\, Japan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. 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. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes

Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Civic Engagement and Performance Management
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n “The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done\, but cannot do at all\, or cannot so well do\, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities.” - Abraham Lincoln\nGovernment exists to produce positive outcomes in the community and those outcomes are “co-produced” by government and citizens working together.  Every citizen has political responsibilities since improvements in government performance only occur as the result of a series of political acts.  In the 21st Century\, performance management means partnering with citizens to produce results.  Nothing else works.  We’ll address some of the aspects of this co-production and how it is working across America\, including community economic development\, place making and the tools and techniques of deliberative democracy.\nDr. Mark Funkhouser is the Director of the Governing Institute.  Prior to that\, he was mayor of Kansas City\, Missouri from 2007 to 2011.  Funkhouser was the first government professional ever elected by Kansas Citizens to serve as their mayor.  During his controversial term he relied heavily on his experience and training in public finance to lead the city back from the brink of bankruptcy.  When he left office\, the city’s finances were in the best shape they had been in over a decade\, a feat accomplished in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression.      \n\nFunkhouser began his career as a guard at George Junior Republic\, a youth corrections facility in Grove City\, Pennsylvania.  He went on to work as a rehabilitation counselor with the Pennsylvania State Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation and then as an assistant professor at Salem College in Salem\, West Virginia\, teaching social work and sociology.  In 1978 he began a career as a performance auditor\, first in Tennessee state government and then for the City of Kansas City\, where he served as City Auditor from 1988 until 2006.  Under his leadership\, the City Auditor’s Office won the Knighton Award for outstanding auditing in 1997\, 2000\, 2003\, and 2004.  GOVERNING recognized Funkhouser as one of its Public Officials of the Year in 2003.\n\nWhile he was the City Auditor\, Funkhouser also taught courses in public budgeting\, program evaluation\, policy analysis\, public finance and related topics in the MPA programs of the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri at Kansas City.  He has written extensively about government performance and accountability and spoken at numerous seminars and workshops throughout the world.  His book\, Honest\, Competent Government\, was the first global study of performance auditing.  In addition\, he has served on the editorial boards of several publications including the American Review of Public Administration and the Journal of Government Financial Management.  \n\nFunkhouser’s academic training includes a bachelor’s degree in political science from Thiel College\, a master’s degree in social work from West Virginia University\, an MBA in accounting and finance from Tennessee State University\, and an interdisciplinary PhD in public administration and sociology from the University of Missouri at Kansas City.\n\nSponsored by:  The Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\; \nUniversity of Michigan Non-Profit and Public Management Center\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Rebel Farmer Returns
DESCRIPTION:World-renowned farmer and permaculture master Sepp Holzer visits SE Michigan this April for an incredible three-day\, hands-on installation course\, as well as a public lecture at the University of Michigan.\n\nSepp Holzer has pioneered the use of ecological farming and permaculture throughout the world\, practices that help to counter modern agricultural crises such as drought\, pesticide pollution\, loss of biodiversity and soil erosion. Sepp began farming this way in Austria in the 1960s after being unsuccessful with conventional agriculture methods. He is known as the \"rebel farmer\" because he persisted in these practices despite being fined and even threatened with prison. His working farm in the Austrian Alps receives thousands of students and visitors each year.\n\nHolzer Permaculture is a natural form of agriculture\, based on the cycles and interactions found in nature. In addition to farming\, animal husbandry\, fruit growing\, aquaculture\, horticulture\, and agroforestry\, Sepp works to regenerate and remediate damaged landscapes. This includes the building of terraces\, raised beds\, water gardens\, soil reservoirs\, wet biomes and ponds in order to create resilient ecosystems and microclimates. These strategies have proven that working in harmony with nature is not only ecologically sound\, but can also be economically successful.\n\n\"Learn to speak with Nature. Learn to assess her accurately. Ask yourself what she offers you. Those who learn to observe will identify niches in production and in all areas of farming\, making it possible for a good living.\" – Sepp Holzer\n\nIn May of 2012\, Sepp made his first ever visit to the Midwest for a hands-on installation course at Detroit’s Catherine Ferguson Academy. Students worked with Sepp to install one of his signature \"kratergartens” – gardens or small-scale farms built upon a substructure of craters and mounds – and the results were nothing short of astonishing. The upcoming three-day course will provide another opportunity to travel and work with Holzer – this time to create TWO of his signature permaculture installations\, in Ypsilanti and Highland Park.\n\nThe events this April\, 2013 include:\n\nPublic lecture by Sepp at The Rackham Amphitheatre\, University of Michigan (Rackham Building\, 4th floor)\, Tuesday\, April 2nd\, 6:30 – 9:00 pm – open to the public\n\n3-day installation course\, April 2nd – 4th (in Ann Arbor\, Highland Park and Ypsilanti) – space for 40 registered participants only. Includes 3 days of hands-on learning plus a private dinner and movie with Sepp on Wednesday\, April 3rd. For more information or to register: www.chiwarapermaculture.com

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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Raoul Wallenberg and Warsaw Ghetto Uprising–OLLI Study Group (50+)
DESCRIPTION:The hunger for heroism transformed a resourceful and brave Swedish businessman into a superhuman rescuer. 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

Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Gender of the Flint
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is presented by Audra Simpson\, assistant professor\, anthropology\, Columbia University. \n\nThe so-called “Oka Crisis of 1990” was a 78-day armed standoff between Mohawk nationals and the Surete du Quebec\, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and finally\, the Canadian Army. An Indigenous and militarized defense of territory and recalled as an “incident\,” the “Crisis” received massive media coverage\, rendering it a matter of epic proportions. During this resistance to the expropriation\, Mohawk women served as negotiators\, spokespeople and held great\, unarmed influence. Simpson starts this paper with the Crisis and its management by women because it manifests so clearly the historical structure of settler colonialism. As such\, this event was something far from momentary\, it was systemically related to the ongoing process of Indigenous dispossession\, the life of inherent and unceded Indigenous sovereignty in the face of settler appropriation and the centrality of women to processes of dispossession and sovereignty. But the interlocking of legal\, rather than military lethality such as the historical and legal process of disenfranchising Native women from their legal recognition as Indians upon out marriage\, does not get folded into analyses of the broader significance of this event. As such\, the paper considers the relationship between this event and the failure of the settler state to eliminate Native women or their responsibilities to territory through either law or military force.\n\nThis lecture is part of IRWG&#039\;s Transitions and Ruptures series and is cosponsored by Native American Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Rebel Farmer Returns
DESCRIPTION:World-renowned farmer and permaculture master Sepp Holzer visits SE Michigan this April for an incredible three-day\, hands-on installation course\, as well as a public lecture at the University of Michigan.\n\nSepp Holzer has pioneered the use of ecological farming and permaculture throughout the world\, practices that help to counter modern agricultural crises such as drought\, pesticide pollution\, loss of biodiversity and soil erosion. Sepp began farming this way in Austria in the 1960s after being unsuccessful with conventional agriculture methods. He is known as the \"rebel farmer\" because he persisted in these practices despite being fined and even threatened with prison. His working farm in the Austrian Alps receives thousands of students and visitors each year.\n\nHolzer Permaculture is a natural form of agriculture\, based on the cycles and interactions found in nature. In addition to farming\, animal husbandry\, fruit growing\, aquaculture\, horticulture\, and agroforestry\, Sepp works to regenerate and remediate damaged landscapes. This includes the building of terraces\, raised beds\, water gardens\, soil reservoirs\, wet biomes and ponds in order to create resilient ecosystems and microclimates. These strategies have proven that working in harmony with nature is not only ecologically sound\, but can also be economically successful.\n\n\"Learn to speak with Nature. Learn to assess her accurately. Ask yourself what she offers you. Those who learn to observe will identify niches in production and in all areas of farming\, making it possible for a good living.\" – Sepp Holzer\n\nIn May of 2012\, Sepp made his first ever visit to the Midwest for a hands-on installation course at Detroit’s Catherine Ferguson Academy. Students worked with Sepp to install one of his signature \"kratergartens” – gardens or small-scale farms built upon a substructure of craters and mounds – and the results were nothing short of astonishing. The upcoming three-day course will provide another opportunity to travel and work with Holzer – this time to create TWO of his signature permaculture installations\, in Ypsilanti and Highland Park.\n\nThe events this April\, 2013 include:\n\nPublic lecture by Sepp at The Rackham Amphitheatre\, University of Michigan (Rackham Building\, 4th floor)\, Tuesday\, April 2nd\, 6:30 – 9:00 pm – open to the public\n\n3-day installation course\, April 2nd – 4th (in Ann Arbor\, Highland Park and Ypsilanti) – space for 40 registered participants only. Includes 3 days of hands-on learning plus a private dinner and movie with Sepp on Wednesday\, April 3rd. For more information or to register: www.chiwarapermaculture.com

SUMMARY:Film Screening:UMS on Film: Darius Milhaud and His Music: From Provence to the World 
DESCRIPTION:Darius Milhaud was without doubt one of the most fertile composers of the twentieth century\, leaving behind an extensive artistic legacy of nearly 450 works that stand out as some of the most original French music of his time. Before being recognized and accepted\, many of his works caused scandal and gave rise to impassioned controversy due to their renegade spirit and pioneering character. His music\, and more particularly his lyric works\, express his greatest sources of inspiration: his attachment to popular roots\, such as those of his native Provence\; his Jewish faith\; and his humanist convictions. Aided by Milhaud’s wife's reminiscences and by the artist's own comments\, this film looks at the work and life of Darius Milhaud\, a man that stood for universality and for dialogue between cultures. \n\nIn collaboration with UMMA and the UM School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance. \n\nThis program is part of the UMS on Film series designed to expand understanding of the artists and cultures represented on the UMS season and reveal something of the emotions and ideas behind the creative process.

SUMMARY:Performance:Carrie Rodriguez
DESCRIPTION:Says the Boston Globe: \"Hailed by Lucinda Williams\, recruited by Alejandro Escovedo\, and nurtured by Lyle Lovett\, singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling new voices on the roots-rock scene.\" Daughter of Texan singer-songwriter David Rodriguez and well-known Texas painter Katy Nail\, the granddaughter of prolific Texas essayist Frances Nail\, and the former roommate of contemporary bluegrasser Casey Driessen at the Berklee College of Music\, this singer-songwriter (and fiddler extraordinaire) has taken steps forward with each new release. She comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Give Me All You Got\,\" which deals with a few dark themes–not surprising inasmuch as one of the first songwriters who inspired Rodriguez in her early teens was Leonard Cohen. “I listened to Leonard for a year and dwelled in the deep lowdown feelings he helped me feel\,” Carrie recalls. The sound of the new album\, however\, is infectious (Carrie always is!). The Cactus Blossoms open the show–they're a classic country brother duet\, consisting of brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Renowned psychology\, epidemiology\, and genetics expert to deliver Psychiatry's 2nd annual Greden Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars for a presentation by Duke University's Avshalom Caspi\, who will discuss “Young Children's Self-control and the Health and Wealth of their Nation” at the U-M Department of Psychiatry's 2nd-annual John F. Greden Scholar in Residence Lecture on April 3.\n\nPolicy-makers are considering large-scale early intervention programs to enhance children's self-control\, with the aim of reducing crime and improving citizens' health and wealth. Experimental studies and economic analyses are suggesting that such programs could reap benefits for a nation. Yet\, how important is childhood self-control for the health\, wealth\, and public safety of the adult population? Could early interventions enhancing the population's self-control skills reduce taxpayer costs of crime control\, health care\, and old-age dependency?  This talk will review evidence from a number of population-representative cohort studies and discuss the implications of their findings. Continuing education credits are available.\n\nDr. Caspi is the Edward M. Arnett Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke. His research spans the fields of psychology\, epidemiology\, and genetics. His current work is concerned with these questions:\n\n* How do childhood experiences shape the course of health inequalities across the life span? \n\n* How do genetic differences between people shape the way they respond to their environments? \n\n* What are the best ways to assess and measure personality differences between people? \n\nDr. Caspi’s recent honors include a A.W. Mellon Visiting Fellowship at the University of Capetown\, South Africa\, the Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize for Productive Youth Development\, and the NARSAD Ruane Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Childhood Psychiatric Disorders.\n\nDr. Caspi will also present a talk on “The Ballad of the Serotonin Transporter Gene” on April 2 at 4 pm in the Kahn Auditorium at the Biomedical Science Research Building (BSRB)\, 109 Zina Pitcher Place.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Paul Dirac Collegiate Professorship in Physics Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:There are networks in almost every part of our lives. Some of them are familiar and obvious: the Internet\, the power grid\, the road network. Others are less obvious but just as important. The patterns of friendships or acquaintances between people form a social network\; the species in an ecosystem join together to form a food web\; the workings of the body's cells are dictated by a metabolic network of chemical reactions. As large-scale data on these networks and others have become available in the last few years\, a new science of networks has grown up\, drawing on ideas from physics\, math\, computer science\, biology\, and other fields to shed light on systems ranging from bacteria to the whole of human society. This lecture will describe some new discoveries regarding networks\, how those discoveries were made\, and what they can tell us about the way the world works.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: John Comazzi\, College of Design\, University of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION: John Comazzi is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Minnesota where he teaches design studios and research seminars at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. He holds a Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Architecture History & Theory from the University of Michigan\, and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Virginia. From 1999-2000 he was a Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Michigan before joining the architecture faculty at the University of Minnesota in 2006. Through teaching\, practice and research his scholarship explores the role of architecture photography in design disciplines and design pedagogy as a model of integrated learning in PK-12 education. In addition to his teaching\, he has practiced as a designer in Virginia\, Michigan and Minnesota.\n\nHe is author of Balthazar Korab: Architect of Photography (Princeton Architectural Press\, 2012)\, an illustrated biography on the life and career of Balthazar Korab\, one of the most celebrated photographers of architecture practicing during the second half of the twentieth century. The book is the first dedicated solely to Korab's life and career\, and traces his rather circuitous path from post-war Hungary to his professional pursuits as a designer in the office of Eero Saarinen (1955-58) and his career as a professional photographer of architecture (1958-2010).\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by:\n\n    A.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blown Away: epiphany studios glass
DESCRIPTION:A glassmaker from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, April Wagner creates beautiful hand-blown glass at her studio – epiphany studios in Pontiac\, Michigan. Wagner has been working with molten glass since 1993\, and she creates each piece by hand working at a 2000 °F furnace.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes

Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Rebel Farmer Returns
DESCRIPTION:World-renowned farmer and permaculture master Sepp Holzer visits SE Michigan this April for an incredible three-day\, hands-on installation course\, as well as a public lecture at the University of Michigan.\n\nSepp Holzer has pioneered the use of ecological farming and permaculture throughout the world\, practices that help to counter modern agricultural crises such as drought\, pesticide pollution\, loss of biodiversity and soil erosion. Sepp began farming this way in Austria in the 1960s after being unsuccessful with conventional agriculture methods. He is known as the \"rebel farmer\" because he persisted in these practices despite being fined and even threatened with prison. His working farm in the Austrian Alps receives thousands of students and visitors each year.\n\nHolzer Permaculture is a natural form of agriculture\, based on the cycles and interactions found in nature. In addition to farming\, animal husbandry\, fruit growing\, aquaculture\, horticulture\, and agroforestry\, Sepp works to regenerate and remediate damaged landscapes. This includes the building of terraces\, raised beds\, water gardens\, soil reservoirs\, wet biomes and ponds in order to create resilient ecosystems and microclimates. These strategies have proven that working in harmony with nature is not only ecologically sound\, but can also be economically successful.\n\n\"Learn to speak with Nature. Learn to assess her accurately. Ask yourself what she offers you. Those who learn to observe will identify niches in production and in all areas of farming\, making it possible for a good living.\" – Sepp Holzer\n\nIn May of 2012\, Sepp made his first ever visit to the Midwest for a hands-on installation course at Detroit’s Catherine Ferguson Academy. Students worked with Sepp to install one of his signature \"kratergartens” – gardens or small-scale farms built upon a substructure of craters and mounds – and the results were nothing short of astonishing. The upcoming three-day course will provide another opportunity to travel and work with Holzer – this time to create TWO of his signature permaculture installations\, in Ypsilanti and Highland Park.\n\nThe events this April\, 2013 include:\n\nPublic lecture by Sepp at The Rackham Amphitheatre\, University of Michigan (Rackham Building\, 4th floor)\, Tuesday\, April 2nd\, 6:30 – 9:00 pm – open to the public\n\n3-day installation course\, April 2nd – 4th (in Ann Arbor\, Highland Park and Ypsilanti) – space for 40 registered participants only. Includes 3 days of hands-on learning plus a private dinner and movie with Sepp on Wednesday\, April 3rd. For more information or to register: www.chiwarapermaculture.com

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.

DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. 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. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) There is considerable evidence supporting the prediction of spatial models of politics that parties adapt to electoral rules. But as in economic markets\, adaptation can occur either when parties behave strategically in the face of new incentives\, or when electoral competition at the district level weeds out maladapted candidates\, creating more optimal party configurations from the bottom up. Although both processes can happen simultaneously\, top-down strategic adaptation is easier when districts occupied by party incumbents are internally heterogeneous with respect to voter preferences and the range of preferences is similar across districts. Conversely\, parties are hard to manage when their districts are internally homogeneous but different from one another.  Following electoral rule change in 1994\, an incumbency cartel within the long-dominant Liberal Democratic Party has kept the party from moving to the national median.  Nevertheless\, electoral competition is pushing both parties towards a left-right continuum as they orient themselves around urban swing districts. This adaptation gives business cycles a larger role in Japanese electoral politics than ever before.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Frances McCall Rosenbluth is a comparative political economist with a particular interest in Japan.  Her recent books include \"The Political Economy of Japan’s Low Fertility\" (edited\, Stanford University Press 2007)\; \"War and State Building in Medieval Japan\" (co-edited with John Ferejohn\, Stanford University Press 2010)\; \"Women\, Work\, and Politics\" (co-authored with Torben Iversen\, Yale University Press 2010)\; and \"Japan Transformed\" (co-authored with Michael Thies\, Princeton University Press 2010).  She is currently writing two books: \"War and Constitutions\" with John Ferejohn\, and \"Real Equality\" with the support of a Guggenheim fellowship.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest puzzles in evolutionary biology is the high frequency of sexual reproduction and recombination.  Given that individuals surviving to reproductive age have genomes that function in the current environment\, why should they risk shuffling their genes with those of another individual?  Mathematical models are especially important in developing predictions about when sex and recombination can evolve\, because it is difficult to intuit the outcome of evolution with several interacting genes.  Interestingly\, early theoretical analyses found it difficult to identify conditions favouring the evolution of high rates of sex.  One reason why an answer to the paradox of sex has been so elusive is that our models have focused unduly on populations that are infinite in size\, unstructured\, and isolated from other species.  Yet most verbal theories for sex and recombination consider a finite number of genotypes evolving in a biologically and/or physically complex world.  In this talk\, I review the various hypotheses for why sex and recombination is so prevalent and discuss theoretical results indicating which of these hypotheses is most promising.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fatal Invention: How Science\, Politics\, and Big Business Recreate Race in the Twenty-First Century
DESCRIPTION:In her book \"Fatal Invention: How Science\, Politics\, and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-First Century\,\" Dr. Dorothy Roberts argues that America is once again at the brink of a virulent outbreak of classifying population by race. Roberts will discuss this latest project in connection with the “Understanding Race” theme semester.\n\nFatal Invention is a provocative call for us to affirm our common humanity. By searching for differences at the molecular level\, a new race-based science is obscuring racism in our society and legitimizing state brutality against communities of color at a time when America claims to be post-racial. Moving from an account of the evolution of race–proving that it has always been a mutable and socially defined political division supported by mainstream science–Roberts delves deep into the current debates\, interrogating the newest science and biotechnology\, interviewing its researchers\, and exposing the political consequences obscured by the focus on genetic difference.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series 
DESCRIPTION:Unless otherwise noted\, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater\, located at 603 E. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:April Verch Band
DESCRIPTION:April Verch doesn’t just perform music\, she exudes it. The internationally renowned Canadian fiddler\, singer\, songwriter and stepdancer has a passion for performing\, and her goal is to touch the lives of those who are listening at any given moment. In the words of the Star-Phoenix of Saskatoon\, Saskatchewan\, April plays her instrument \"with a kind of controlled aggression.\" With nine albums to her credit\, April is steeped in the fiddling and step-dancing traditions of her native northeastern Ontario with their vibrant mixture of Anglo\, French\, and Celtic roots. But\, after studying fiddling at Boston's Berklee College of Music with inveterate innovators Matt Glaser and Darol Anger\, she began to follow an incredible variety of musical inspirations\, and the result is a concert evening that might include anything from Canadian fiddle traditions to music of Louisiana. April has drawn comparisons to Natalie MacMaster and Mark O'Connor\, but her fiddle show has an energy that's all her own. She's coming to Michigan with an as-yet-untitled new release.

DESCRIPTION:WORD OF MOUTH STORY SLAM\n\nLIBERATION\n\nThursday\, April 4th 2013\n\nHillel\n\nDoors at 8:00 pm\, stories at 8:30\n\n Word of Mouth is back for our final event of 2013. Never been to our slams before? Audience members tell five-minute stories from their lives related to a theme. The friendly competition includes appetizers and live music. \n\n In collaboration with Hillel\, this month focuses on stories of Liberation. In light of the recent Passover holiday\, which recognizes a historic Liberation\, we've chosen the theme. But it does not have to pertain to history\, Judaism\, or religion at all. Perhaps the theme is pertinent because graduation is on the horizon\, or summer vacation. \n\nIf you have stories of release\, renewal\, letting go\, or breaking free\, come share them at our slam!\n\nYou should notice that we've moved! If you're used to seeing us at Work Gallery on State Street\, don't fret. We are trying a new space. The UM Hillel is located just off campus. \n\nCan’t wait to see you there!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2013 Marshall Weinberg Cognitive Science Symposium
DESCRIPTION:To what extent can human thought\, action and choice be understood as rational? The dominant view in the social and behavioral sciences for decades has been that people routinely make sub-optimal choices. But new approaches redefining the problem of rational behavior challenge that assumption. Keynote speakers at this symposium are leading cognitive scientists who engage these issues from the perspective of psychology\, philosophy\, neuroscience and computation.

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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Architecture and Dictators–OLLI Study Group (50+) 
DESCRIPTION:Starting in the late 1910s\, following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the Fascist takeover in Italy\, modern architecture was supported for a time in these countries. But leadership opposition caused a return to more familiar and conservative historic styles. In the 1930s\, Nazi Germany developed a type of modernized classicism that was unlike the radical designs found in Russia and Italy. This illustrated lecture will describe and \nexplain these phenomena. Kingsbury Marzolf is Professor Emeritus at U of M in architectural and urban history\, having taught for 36 years.\n

DESCRIPTION:The comedy of silent films is still hailed by film critics and aficionados as the funniest works in the history of motion pictures. Lacking sound\, film comedians and clowns created a world of physical humor that sometimes achieved the sublime. This course examines the individual artists of the ”˜golden age of comedy’ and considers the more general question\, why is the funny so funny? We will look at some of the early progenitors of silent comedy such as Mack Sennett and the Keystone Cops and pay special attention to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Instructor: Ira Konigsberg\n

DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. 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. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Ethel V. Curry Distinguished Lecture in Musicology: “Progressive Modernism: Left-Wing Politics and Twelve-Tone Music” - Anne C. Shreffler (Harvard University)
DESCRIPTION:Left-wing politics in the 20th century is usually associated with tonal\, accessible styles\, while dodecaphony is seen to occupy a more elitist\, establishment position. Many composers\, including Hanns Eisler\, Ruth Crawford Seeger\, Stefan Wolpe\, Wladimir Vogel\, and Wallingford Riegger\, viewed advanced music as going hand in hand with progressive politics\, especially during the 1930s. In discussing some examples\, I offer an alternate view to the prevailing historiography\, as well as addressing the complexities involved in linking music and politics at all.

SUMMARY:Performance:Frontier Ruckus
DESCRIPTION:Who's the next breakthrough Americana band? Southeast Michigan's own Frontier Ruckus is looking like a strong candidate and has been getting lots of national attention. In the words of Cleveland Scene\, Frontier Ruckus \"delivers spirited\, acoustic-based roots music driven by David W. Jones’ banjo and fleshed out with saws\, horns\, and other left-field touches. Frontman Matthew Milia’s vocals convey a dreamy\, twangy quality\, like someone who’s wandering aimlessly through the woods at night. He recalls Michael Stipe in his vivid wordplay and oblique imagery.\" What's unique about this band is that they use country instrumentation to depict not a rustic utopia but life along the interstate as most of us live it. They've got an deep lyrical streak\, and each of their albums so far has been brilliantly original in concept. Rolling Stone thinks Frontier Ruckus has \"the perfect recipe for Gothic Americana\,\" and their recent Folk Festival set added more fuel to a growing fire.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale.

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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Misty Lyn & The Big Beautiful
DESCRIPTION:A linchpin of the rising Michigan indie/folk scene\, 2009 Ann Arbor Folk Festival artist Misty Lyn pens haunting melodies over simple arrangements that traverse the gothic\, literary fringes of American roots music. Pulling from a wealth of vivid\, melancholic subject matter\, her songs are cathartic and poetically rich works that stand boldly on their own\, but when accompanied by her quartet\, the Big Beautiful\, realize new potential. She writes of her childhood struggles and the ensuing trials and tribulations encountered while working toward a greater purpose in life. While her music also celebrates the simple joy of being alive\, there is always a common thread of nostalgia for things that are lost and those that are fading. What kind of music is it? The question seems almost irrelevant in Misty Lyn's unique world\, but she told a French interviewer that \"someone once called [me] 'gothic country' and I liked the sound of it.\" Misty Lyn and her band\, the Big Beautiful\, come to The Ark with a new release\, \"False Honey.\"
