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 has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

In this body of work\, poodles are represented in various dilemmas of life. The functional white ware is lighthearted\, so simple tasks such as eating and drinking can become playful. Each piece is individually handcrafted with feedback from her standard parti (two-colored) poodle\, who loves to crack a joke. Blackburn earned a BFA from Ohio State University\, and her studio is Grins Clay.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

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.

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.

Some accounts run from Grotius\, whose arguments about the right to punish violators of natural law are seen as foundational\, to the nineteenth-century campaign against the slave trade and to twentieth-century declarations against genocide. Some accounts highlight the late-nineteenth century imperial origins of protection\, noting that “protected states” and “protectorates” were formally defined in this period in ways that helped to shape a European-dominated international legal order.\n\nConflicts over colonial governance in the early nineteenth century represent important\, and understudied\, contexts for the development of ideas about protection. In the British Empire\, colonial legal reform projects were ubiquitous and influenced the way British authority was constructed\, imagined\, and opposed in newly acquired colonies. The legal politics of Ceylon and the Ionian Islands show that discourses of protection were central both to colonial judicial reform projects and to expansionist schemes for the empire\, supporting a vision of global order centered around imperial law.\n\nLauren Benton is Professor of History\, Affiliate Professor of Law\, and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Science at New York University. Benton’s research focuses on the comparative history of empires and the relation between imperial law and global order. Benton’s books include an edited volume published this year (Lauren Benton and Richard Ross\, Legal Pluralism and Empires\, 1500-1850 and two books on law and empire: A Search for Sovereignty: Law and Geography in European Empires\, 1400-1900 (2010)\; and Law and Colonial Cultures: Legal Regimes in World History\, 1400-1900 (2002)\, which was awarded the World History Association Book Award and the James Willard Hurst Book Prize. Benton is currently working with Lisa Ford on a book about legal politics in the British Empire in the early nineteenth century.\n\nPart of Rethinking Sovereignty\, a multi-disciplinary lecture series that explores the tension between the powers of centralized states in the modern world and their uncertain political and geographical peripheries.

What are the initial steps in the evolution of a complex trait\, and how do those initial steps influence subsequent evolutionary possibilities? In this talk I'll focus on our recent work in two areas. First\, we will look critically at the evolutionary dynamics of 'leaf economic spectrum' traits within a closely related group of deciduous woody plants\; second\, we'll focus on understanding the partially shared evolutionary trajectories of two alternative and important adaptive syndromes in plants\, C4 and CAM photosynthesis.

Its dozen songs are laced through with strands of indigenous roots elements–Heartland hoedown folk (“American\,” with guest Jake Owen spinning out the guitar solo)\, Celtic-rooted mountain music (“Walk Through This World\,” “Flyaway”)\, zydeco (“Everything You Wanted”)\, Southern roadhouse soul (“Don’t Bring Me Down”)\, Chicago blues (“Shake the Fever”) and 100-proof roots rock (“All the World”). These tracks are played with heartfelt emotion as well as jaw-dropping skillfulness by the band–Neumann on vocals and guitars\, original member Michael Ramos (Patty Griffin\, John Mellencamp) on keyboards and accordion\, longtime BoDeans bassist Ryan Bowman and new member Warren Hood\, a fiddle/violin virtuoso from Austin.\n\n\nAs it turns out\, the album title bears a thematic resonance as well as a stylistic one. With American Made\, the BoDeans have created a soul-stirring song cycle that directly reflects the American experience at this critical moment in our history. The album–which also includes a powerful rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire”–was inspired by Neumann’s blue-collar upbringing and his desire to express what a great country America remains\, despite its troubles and the challenges facing it today.\n\n\n“As we’ve moved into the new millennium\, we’ve begun to question our identity as Americans–who we are\, or who we want to be\,” says Neumann. “With the onset of the Tea party and the Occupy movement\, it feels like we’re pulling in two very different directions. The song ”˜American’ talks about this land of ”˜endless possibility\,’ and ”˜Where else in the world you ever gonna find this kind of ideology?’ We’re lucky to have the rights and opportunities that we have\, but I believe those rights come with a responsibility to help each other along. It’s wrong to stockpile millions or billions of dollars while all your neighbors struggle to survive. It feels like we’re losing the common sense that has always guided us\, and that worries me. We’re so out of touch with each other–and just trying to find an American-made product has become almost comical. I wanted to bring that all of that to the surface–hence the album title.”\n\n\nIf American Made is about resilience in the face of daunting obstacles\, the same can be said of the unforeseen circumstances that led to the album’s creation. Sam Llanas\, one of the original members\, left the band last year in order to launch a solo career\, the news coming just one day after the release of the band’s previous LP\, Indigo Dreams. When Llanas quit\, Neumann could have thrown in the towel\, but he chose to stick with what he’d begun nearly three decades earlier as the band’s driving force and the architect of its sound. So he and his fellow band members cinched up their belts and carried on. Since then\, Neumann has discovered that while unexpected change can be difficult\, it can also be revitalizing.\n\n\nThe first order of business was to come up with a cohesive batch of material–Neumann didn’t realize going into the process that it would yield what amounted to the most intensely personal songs he’d ever written.\n\n\nOn “Jay Leno\,” Neumann metaphorically invokes the name of the pop-culture figure in recounting a traumatizing childhood experience. “When I was eight years old\, growing up in Milwaukee\, my family and I came home on a frigid February evening to find our back alley lined with police cars\,” he recalls. “Someone had found a young girl’s dead body in the garage next door to my house. Even at a young age\, I’d seen a lot of violence in our lower-income neighborhood\, but this really shook me up\, and my family as well. Soon afterward\, my parents moved me and my brother out to Waukesha\, a small town just 20 miles west of Milwaukee\, but it seemed like a world away from my old neighborhood. I’m not sure why I decided to write a song about it\, but as I worked on it\, I realized that in a sense this girl may have saved my life. People take drastic measures to get out of poverty\, and I’m sure my life would have turned out very differently had we not moved.”\n\n\n“Chemical” was inspired by growing up with an alcoholic father\, and by the many other chemically dependent people in Neumann’s life. “With my dad\, even as a kid I could see the writing on the wall\,” he says. “I used to feel like there was something he was looking for at the bottom of that brandy bottle. At one point\, I called AA trying to find some place I could take him to get help\, but the guy on the other end of the line told me I was a fool for trying. He told me I couldn’t help him\, that he needed to make that call himself. Sure enough\, a few years later\, he dropped dead\; the booze had killed him.”\n\n\nAs for “I’m on Fire\,” Neumann says\, “Springsteen’s lyrics have always spoken to me. I know exactly what he’s talking about–I’ve grown up with the same feelings in my gut. This is one of a handful of his songs that I felt I could even approach. I’ve sung it for years. While we were in the studio\, we blew it down for fun and it just turned out really nice.\n\n\n“On another level\,” he points out\, “the record was inspired by the pop music I listened to on the radio as a kid\, feeling the mesmerizing energy busting out of that tiny speaker. As always\, I’ve tried to tap into that energy in my songwriting.”\n\n\nWhen he’d completed the new material\, Neumann called on John Alagia (Dave Matthews\, John Mayer\, Jason Mraz\, Ben Folds) to produce and mix the record\, with the exception of “Jay Leno\,” which was mixed by Jim Scott (Wilco\, Tom Petty)\, who’d worked with the band in the mid-’90s. Determined to make the best possible album no matter the cost\, Neumann sold his truck\, one of his most treasured possessions\, in order to cover the cost of recording at L.A.’s state-of-the-art Village Recorder\, where the band had worked in years past with T Bone Burnett. Alagia brought in Victor Indrizzo (Beck\, Sheryl Crow) to play drums. They tracked the entire album in just three days.\n\n\nThanks to Neumann’s renewed passion and determination\, the BoDeans are still going strong a quarter century after their Burnett-produced debut Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams led them to win a Rolling Stone readers’ poll as “Best New American Band\,” and nearly 20 years after their “Closer to Free” became a massive hit and the theme song of the sitcom Party of Five. The BoDeans continue to tour the U.S. year-round\, exposing the kids of their longtime steadfast fans to heartfelt\, trend-free\, American-made music.\n\n\nBut things could’ve turned out very differently. Neumann acknowledges that Llanas’ abrupt departure had triggered an intensive and extended bout of soul searching\, causing him to question the basic assumptions he’d carried with him through the life of his band.\n\n\n“In my frustration\, I asked myself\, What is BoDeans?” he says. “Is it me\, or someone else\, or the music. I thought about all the letters people have written me over the years explaining how our music had played an intimate role in some part of their lives–a wedding\, a death\, a celebration\, growing up\, growing old. And I came to the realization that the key to the BoDeans’ identity is the fans’ connection to our music. So the inspiration for this record is just that–to carry on with what I started many\, many years ago\, and to do it for as long as people continue to feel that connection. That’s why I’m so excited about this record. I’ve been humbled by the notion that the fans have given me the chance to go on.” UID:13551-1184876@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/13551 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:bodeans,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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 has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

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.

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.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

She has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton. Poetic and fiercely touching\, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock\, Annie Lennox\, and Katherine McPhee\, to name a few. From a small town in Massachusetts\, Paula Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close. Cole is a scholarship alumna from Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz\, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined)\, and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans\, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows. As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the Best Producer Grammy nomination (for her work “This Fire”)\, Cole has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top ten hits of the 1990s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums\, Paula Cole continues to write\, produce\, record\, and perform heartfelt\, meaningful\, lasting music that defies categorization.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

Then Cook’s older brother\, Adam\, who had been fighting a battle with brain cancer\, died of the disease. The Texas-born\, Missouri-raised songwriter worked through that wiht the help of a batch of deeply honest\, emotional songs that\, David says\, made up \"probably the most therapeutic album I’ve ever written.” A musician and performer since he was a teenager\, David (who first picked up a guitar at age 12 and formed his first band at 15) returns with a new release\, \"Laying Me Low.\" This performer combines serious songwriting chops with rock intensity in live shows that are already legendary. $75 VIP Package tickets for tonight's show include a meet-and-greet with the artist and reserved seating\, front and center.

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 has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

At different world-historical times\, both states created “autonomous” spaces inside the territory over which they exercised sovereignty. In these spaces–“Bantustans” in the language of apartheid\, “Area A” in the language of the Oslo Accords–Palestinians and black South Africans could exercise limited “autonomy” and perhaps even nominal “independence” but remained subject to the sovereign power of the state. Focusing on three dimensions of these state spatial strategies (citizenship\, governmentality\, and labor regulation)\, the first part of this chapter argues that the production of these “spaces of exception” is fundamental to the constitution of sovereignty in colonial-settler states. The second half of the chapter considers the imperial transition of the 1990s as an intervening mechanism in the production of state/space. Global power relations were fundamentally transformed in the late twentieth century as a result of the military dominance of the United States\, the unprecedented power of multinational corporations\, and the global hegemony of neoliberal economics. This transition helps explain four important differences between the Bantustan strategy in South Africa and the enclosure strategy in Palestine/Israel. By analyzing state strategies to produce spaces of exception before and after this shift in global power relations\, I hope to contribute to the analysis of sovereignty in the empire of the early twenty-first century.

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 has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

How does one then explain the sudden collapse of these families at the turn of the tenth century? By exploiting a large prosopographic database\, this paper will explore how a better understanding of the geographic distribution of political power and of the Tang political elite's social networks can help resolve these questions.

As a recent survey in the Annual Review of Political Science explains\, “network analysis ”¦ offers a means of addressing one of the holy grails of the social sciences: effectively analyzing the interdependence and flows of influence among individuals\, groups\, and institutions.” Social network theorists study the structure of connections between members of a relevant network. The composition of these social ties and the relative position of actors within these structures are generally thought to influence the prospects for\, and patterns of\, the diffusion of ideas and behaviors.\n\nNetwork analysis needs to play a greater role in theory construction and empirical study of the effects of international law. Most relevant is network research that directly examines the state–rather than research that extrapolates from the study of individuals and other groups. This body of network analysis poses several important challenges to existing approaches in international law. It also yields important new insights--and suggests new lines of inquiry--about how best to understand the power and perils of international legal regimes. These intellectual payoffs are especially true when one taps into empirical studies that take seriously cultural mechanisms of diffusion across interstate networks. We thus highlight forms of socialization–such as emulation\, social persuasion\, cognitive identity formation--that can propel the spread of behavioral norms and reshape preferences across interstate networks. The available research should help us to build more effective and principled global institutions.

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.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

Traditionally\, ten thousand was thought of as such an unimaginably large number that it became the equivalent of infinity. The concept includes everything you can point to or even name -- all of reality.\n\nIt is sometimes translated as \"myriad creatures\" or \"ten thousand beings\,\" but that makes one falsely assume that the concept includes only living creatures. The ten thousand things also includes inanimate objects (such as rocks\, buildings\, stars)\, emptiness (like outer space or vacuums)\, and abstractions (such as dreams\, thoughts\, principles\, beliefs\, language\, the Internet).\n\nThe work done at BASEbeijing since 2006 has been a quest for finding\, experiencing\, collecting and acting upon ten thousand urban and rural things. The things collected and exhibited are a combination of \"real\" things\, forgeries\, duplications and representations. The work in the exhibit involved \"acting upon\" the ten thousand things\, often taking the form of books\, designed objects and structures done while in residence at BASE. While BASE was founded on a commitment to an interest in urban space\, our attention was quickly pulled toward the rural\, and we have come to find a surprising new space that is not one or the other\, but rather a continuity that involves both simultaneously.\n\nBASEbeijing is a collaboration involving students from Taubman College\, the University of Michigan\, and various schools in both the U.S. and China.

It was unfortunate for the USSR that the most active period in the art export coincided with the world economic crisis. Market prices\, including those for art\, dropped drastically. To fulfill its “currency targets” the Soviet government had to shift from the export of ordinary antiques to masterpieces\, including major works of art from the Hermitage. The masterpieces sold by the Soviet government to finance industrialization became important holdings of many world famous museums. This talk will explore the impact that Stalin’s art export had on building the core of the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C. and the role of the United States Secretary of the Treasury\, Andrew W. Mellon\, who became one of the most famous buyers of art from the Soviet museums.\n\nElena A. Osokina\, professor of Russian history at the University of South Carolina\, received her Ph.D. from the Department of History at Moscow University\, Russia. She is the author of Gold for Industrialization: Torgsin (Rosspen\, 2009\, in Russian)\, Our Daily Bread: Socialist Distribution and the Art of Survival in Stalin’s Russia\, 1927-1941 (M.E. Sharpe\, 2001)\, Hierarchy of Consumption: Life under the Stalinist Rationing System\, 1928-1935 (MGOU\, 1993\, in Russian)\, and numerous articles on Russian and Soviet social and economic history. She is currently engaged in a research project\, “Rembrandts for Tractors\,” that explores the social\, economic and cultural effects of the Soviet mass art exports under Stalin to finance Soviet industrialization. Osokina is a recipient of the fellowships from the Kennan Institute-Woodrow Wilson Center\, NEH\, Fulbright\, National Gallery of Art\, Hoover Institution\, Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (Paris)\, Harvard University’s Davis Center for Russian Studies\, Aleksanteri Institute (Helsinki)\, and others.
