The first round of voting took place in November 2004\, however\, the results were nullified by the Supreme Court when it determined that there was widespread election fraud. Viktor Yushchenko won the presidency during the second round of voting in December 2004. Visitors will also read about the experiences of two election observers from Michigan who were in Ukraine during those heady days of change.

From their beginnings as three actors who also loved to sing together\, The Once has embraced a different vision of Newfoundland music. Their sounds do not come from the noisy pubs and dockside taverns that fuel so much of the island’s energy. Instead\, their music comes from a quieter and more thoughtful place. Hope and tragedy are intertwined in their music\, whether they are singing an old lament from World War I\, original songs that speak of love defeated\, or tasteful songs from the artists whose music inspires them. The Once has kept it uncomplicated\, depending on the power of their voices and acoustic instruments. Lead singer Geraldine Hollett\, has an instrument of rare power\; she is a singer who can still a noisy room\, so expressive she can tell a novel-length story with a few words. Accompanied by Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale on guitar\, mandolin\, fiddle and bouzouki\, they create a perfect blend of voice and melody. Sometimes melancholy\, sometimes funny\, always poignant\,The Once sound like nothing else that has ever come from Newfoundland\, and they're gaining attention far beyond the Canadian Maritimes.

French Natives Thomas Mars\, Laurent Brancowitz\, Deck d’Arcy and Christian Mazzalai created the four-piece group\, Phoenix\, in the late 1990s drawing from influences such as Iron and Wine and Leonard Cohen. The indie rock band took on a character of it’s own that spoke to listeners across the globe. After only their first album\, Phoenix’s music was featured in blockbusters such as “Lost in Translation” and “Shallow Hal\,” and preformed by the group during Superbowl XLV\, Saturday Night Live\, The Late Show with David Letterman\, and more. They mastered their craft with their album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix\,” which scored the band the 2009 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album\, and featured the single “1901\,” that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Alternative Songs Chart. The band released their fifth studio album “Bankrupt!” in April of this year to kick off their World Tour. Rolling Stone says\, “Phoenix succeeded by balancing a love for crowd-pleasing Seventies rock and Eighties New Wave with a 21st-century sleekness and a timeless sophistication.” The September 29th show in Ypsilanti\, Michigan will definitely be one to check out.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Among the issues that have risen to consciousness are those of space\, religion\, politics and ethnicity. \nArguments over access to public space has stimulated awareness of gendered power relations\, whether this occurs over the Kotel\, or segregated seating in buses\, or concepts of modesty for women on the streets. Religious activists have pursued a political agenda to extend Jewish religious norms into the public sphere. Meanwhile\, Israel becomes increasingly diverse society along ethnic and national lines\, with minorities and foreign workers seeking resources and recognition. \n\nThis symposium explores analysis of these issues as expressed in works of art\, literature and film as well as within the political realm. It pays attention to the politicization of culture in Israeli society and some of the key fault lines around gender. \n UID:14002-1188966@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14002 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:jewish studies LOCATION:Michigan League - Hussey Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130930T000019 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130930T103000 SUMMARY:Performance:Organ Studio Recital DESCRIPTION:Students of Dr. James Kibbie.

To do so it draws upon and challenges the “New Wars” paradigm\, which developed to explain post cold war conflicts in Eastern Europe and Africa. This approach makes three primary claims. First\, these conflicts exhibit unprecedented ethno-religious violence and the deliberate targeting of civilians. Second\, that capital accumulation rivals victory on the battlefield as the goal of protracted violence. Finally\, it claims that war economies emerge on the ashes of the normal economy\, and\, marked by criminality\, predation and warlordism\, they so inhabit politico-economic spaces outside of “normal” trajectories of development and globalization. \nIn this paper I engage the second and third claim through a multi-sited political economy of the civil wars anchored by three years of fieldwork in Beirut. In tracing connections between the Lebanese “militia economy” and its imagined exterior\, I demonstrate the degree to which the civil wars were not about sectarian rivalries\, but about capturing the commanding heights of a globalizing Lebanese political economy: the banking sector. Moreover\, I argue\, it was the integration of the war economy within larger regional and global financial processes and networks – not its exclusion from them – that helps us to understand why the Lebanese wars ended when they did\, and how post-war Lebanon was integrated within both regional and global processes of neo-liberalization. \n UID:14379-1192950@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14379 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:beirut,civil war,development,economies,globalization,lebanon,middle east,religion,violence,war LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - International Institute/Room 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130930T000019 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130930T133000 SUMMARY:Performance:Organ Studio Recital DESCRIPTION:Students of Professor Marilyn Mason.

Roberts (U-M Anthropology)\, this discussion begins with an overview of the \"endless frontier\" in reproductive technology. Technologies of fertility regulation and control now proliferate in the developing world\, beyond where they first made their debut: Europe\, North America\, Australia. Now\, selective and expanding parts of the world -- not just the rich populations stratified in the global North -- occupy a long-term \"existential gap\" with regard to biomedical aspirations and fears\, increasingly focused on infertile women\, men\, and fetuses. Prof. Rapp illustrates new iterations of the gap continually revised and expanded using the case of noninvasive prenatal tests (NIPTs)\, now making their way through the marketplace into the lives of America's pregnant women.\n\nWhat does it mean to launch yet another technology that assumes total reproductive control over fetal disabilities can be achieved? This presentation highlights the hidden burdens and ethics of the rapid diffusion etched into the NIPTs.\n\nThis is part of the Feminist Science Studies program\, directed by Sari van Anders.

Israel faces a paradox in this regard: on the one hand\, women are far more visible today in the public arena than at any time since the creation of the state\; on the other hand\, the place of women in the public sphere is constantly being contested. What can account for the simultaneous integration of women into public life and their increasing exclusion? This analysis will explore the dual patterns of gender progress and inequality in Israel in recent years\, suggest some explanations and examine the implications of these patterns for Israel’s democratic order.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life. Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color. Hanna has exhibited both locally and nationally\, and her works are in permanent collections at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the C. S. Mott Children's and Women's Hospital. She received both a BFA and an MA from Eastern Michigan University.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

Uhlenbeck Collegiate Professorship in Physics. This lecture and the reception following it are open to the public.\n\nLecture details:\n\nWhat is the Universe made of? This question is the longest outstanding problem in all of modern physics and the hottest research topic in cosmology and particle physics today. The talk begins with an overview of the history of the problem\, including the evidence for the existence of dark matter in galaxies. Then I will turn to the big picture of the Cosmos: the Universe is made of 5% ordinary atomic matter\, 26% dark matter\, and 69% dark energy. I will discuss the conundrum of the nature of the dark matter and discuss the best-motivated particle candidates. Dark matter searches are three-pronged: at the particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva\; in the underground laboratory experiments worldwide\; and with satellites in space and phototubes in the ice at the South Pole searching for signals of dark matter annihilation products. Currently there are claimed detections in multiple experiments --- but they cannot possibly all be right. Excitement is building in the cosmology community that the nature of the dark matter particle may soon be revealed. I conclude the talk with the question of the unanticipated dark energy that is causing the Universe's expansion to accelerate and its effect on the future fate of life in the Universe.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts. \n\nFor questions\, contact Anne Hart at annehart@umich.edu or at 734.615.6449.\n\n UID:14588-1192593@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14588 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:physics,science LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Amphitheater (4th Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130130T103042 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131001T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131001T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Beating the Blues DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays – Beating the Blues.

He brings wit and understated excellence to every performance\, leading Ben Ratliff of the New York Times to describe his live show as \"elegant and nearly devastating.\" Another great songwriting veteran\, Paul Cebar\, opens the show.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life. Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color. Hanna has exhibited both locally and nationally\, and her works are in permanent collections at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the C. S. Mott Children's and Women's Hospital. She received both a BFA and an MA from Eastern Michigan University.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

Damodaran Nampoothiri\, Executive Director\, Centre for Research and Education for Social Transformation (CREST)\n\nThis talk will discuss the issues surrounding higher education in Kerala\, the Southwestern state of India. Higher education was opened to the poorest communities in Kerala\, such as Dalits and Adivasis. However\, from the 1950s onward\, they experienced very little upward social mobility\, largely because these historically ostracized and excluded communities lacked the social\, cultural\, and symbolic capital which the mainstream communities always held in ample measure. The government of Kerala launched CREST (Centre for Research and Education for Social Transformation) in 2002\, which has initiated new affirmative educational programs to empower the graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds. These innovative interventions were specifically designed to provide critical knowledge frames and cutting-edge\, competitive skill sets to the professional graduates hailing from disadvantaged backgrounds so that they are enabled to access high-end\, open-market jobs in India and abroad\, as well as get admitted to a new generation of higher-education programs.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life. Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

In a letter home\, she wrote that she wanted to enter a daimyo’s service and learn “the conduct and manners of the upper class.” Her brothers\, scandalized\, demanded that she return immediately. Instead\, she made a life for herself in the capital\, working a series of temporary maidservant jobs and ultimately marrying a samurai in the service of the Edo city magistrate. This talk places her story of urban migration and service work in a global context. It considers how we might find a place for Japanese women in the history of global early modernity\, which tends to emphasize instances of travel and exchange at the expense of the stories of the majority of individuals (particularly women)\, who stayed within “national” boundaries.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nAmy Stanley specializes in the history of early modern and modern Japan\, with a particular interest in how common people contributed to Japan’s economic\, political\, and social transformation in the mid-nineteenth century. She received her Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University in 2007. Her first book\, Selling Women: Prostitution\, Markets\, and the Household in Early Modern Japan (University of California Press\, 2012)\, explains how the growing business of selling sex reconfigured women’s places in the household\, the marketplace\, and the Tokugawa state. Professor Stanley has also written articles on education for geisha in the 1870’s and early modern peasants’ practices of settling adultery cases. Her new project is a microhistory that investigates how a woman in Japan experiences divorce\, service work\, and urban migration in the context of global early modernity.

He emerged onto the folk scene in his trademark striped shirt in 1980\, and since then his songs have been recorded by the Tannahill Weavers\, Fairport Convention\, Cherish the Ladies\, and many other leading lights of folk music in the British Isles. \n\nJames Keelaghan is listed in the Canadian Encyclopedia (his entry\, he's pleased to note\, is longer than the one for the Royal Bank but shorter than the Red Squirrel entry). His art is deeply rooted in his native country\, but he has a following all over the English-speaking world. Why? There are lots of reasons\, but when you get right down to it\, James Keelaghan is a true storyteller–an explorer of North America's history and peoples (including those of Latin descent\, who have also influenced him musically)\, of the natural world\, of the dark corners of his own psyche. He seems to tap into the deep roots of folk music even as he forges a style that's all his own.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life. Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color. Hanna has exhibited both locally and nationally\, and her works are in permanent collections at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the C. S. Mott Children's and Women's Hospital. She received both a BFA and an MA from Eastern Michigan University.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

She was intrigued by this strange collective\, and set out to make a film about them. Her wonderfully idiosyncratic documentary often uses random images from the films to stand for the collective’s members\, as if they were home movies. She encountered suspicion as a feminist\, as a foreigner\, and as a documentary filmmaker who chose not to live and dwell with her subjects. Hammer has said\, “It is the most difficult film I have ever made.” Devotion is a striking meditation on political passion and the gender dynamics in artist/activist collectives.

She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life. Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color. Hanna has exhibited both locally and nationally\, and her works are in permanent collections at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the C. S. Mott Children's and Women's Hospital. She received both a BFA and an MA from Eastern Michigan University.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.
