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.

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.

Rooted in her own family’s history of three generations of women as domestic servants\, Sibande’s larger-than-life figures clothed in yards of fabric confront the viewer with the stark limits of cultural heritage as well as the possibility of transformation. Sibande’s Ann Arbor fellowship includes an original installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, a Penny Stamps lecture\, an open studio at the Stamps School on North Campus\, and exhibition of Sibande’s existing work at Gallery DAAS\, the U-M Museum of Art\, and the Stamps School Slusser Gallery.

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.

The exhibition\, in conjunction with the \"unretiring\" of Harmon's famed number 98 jersey this season\, highlights Harmon’s college career at Michigan\, both as a student and an athlete. Using archival documents\, photographs\, and artifacts\, including material recently acquired through Harmon’s son\, Mark Harmon\, the exhibit traces Harmon’s career as the University of Michigan’s first Heisman Trophy winner\, World War II pilot and war hero\, and a pioneering radio and television broadcaster.

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.

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.

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.

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.

EU member states still see enlargement as a matter of national interest bringing economic and geopolitical benefits over the long term. The risk of instability in the Western Balkans has made the dividends from the EU’s “democratizing effect” especially substantial. The enlargement process continues to have a ”˜democratizing effect’ as Western Balkans candidates and proto-candidates respond to the incentives of EU membership: political parties have changed their agendas to make them EU-compatible\, and governments have implemented policy changes to move forward in the pre-accession process. Yet the EU is taking on candidates with difficult initial conditions: the article assesses the changes that the EU has made in order to exercise its leverage more effectively in the Western Balkans\, and whether these have helped overcome problems with expertise\, consistency and legitimacy in the EU’s pre-accession process.\n\nMilada Anna Vachudova specializes in the democratization of postcommunist Europe\, the enlargement of the European Union\, and the impact of international actors on domestic politics. She is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her book\, Europe Undivided: Democracy\, Leverage and Integration after Communism\, was published by Oxford University Press in 2005. Professor Vachudova is now working on her second book project comparing the experience of democratization and international engagement in the Western Balkans since 1995. Professor Vachudova has held fellowships and research grants from a number of organizations in the United States and Europe. She received a BA from Stanford University in 1991. As a British Marshall Scholar and a member of St. Antony’s College\, she completed a D.Phil. in the Faculty of Politics at the University of Oxford in 1997.

The material changes–empire\, trade–were shown in Bourgeois Dignity (2010) to be inadequate to explain the explosion of incomes 1800 to the present. What pushed the world into frenetic innovation were the slowly changing ideas 1600-1848 about the urban middle class and about their material and institutional innovations. A class long scorned by barons and bishops\, and regulated into stagnation by its very own guilds and city councils and cozy monopolies\, came to be treasured–at least by the standard of earlier\, implacable scorn–first in Holland and then in Britain and then the wider world. With more or less good grace the people around the North Sea began to accept the Bourgeois Deal: Let me profit and I'll make you rich. Then people did so in Europe generally and its offshoots\, and finally now in China and India. Most people\, with the exception of the angry clerisy of artists and intellectuals (and even them only after 1848)\, stopped hating the bourgeoisie. That is\, not economics but “humanomics” explains our riches.\n\nSpeaker: Deirdre McCloskey teaches economics\, history\, English\, and communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago. A well-known economist and historian and rhetorician\, she has written sixteen books and around 400 scholarly pieces on topics ranging from technical economics and statistics to transgender advocacy and the ethics of the bourgeois virtues. Her latest book\, Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can't Explain the Modern World is the second in a series of three on The Bourgeois Era. The first was The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce\, asking if a participant in a capitalist economy can still have an ethical life (briefly\, yes). With Stephen Ziliak she wrote in 2008\, The Cult of Statistical Significance\, which criticizes the proliferation of tests of \"significance.\" UID:15143-1193877@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15143 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:economics,english,history LOCATION:Ross School of Business - 2240 Ross CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131024T131328 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131029T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131029T200000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Zombie Nightmare on Fletcher Street DESCRIPTION:Join us for treats\, tours and prizes at our zombie survival open house!\nZombie wound care\;\nFlu shots (first 20 people FREE!)\;\nCandy\, caramel apples\, crafts\;\nZombie photo booth\;\nHealth screenings and more UID:15361-1194726@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15361 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:halloween LOCATION:Health Service CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131007T100006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131029T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131029T194000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Small group discussion: How to pick a major that will stand out to employers DESCRIPTION:Bring your specific questions about how to pick a major that will stand out to employers to a small group of your peers and a seasoned Career Center coach.

When they wrote their self-titled EP\, Lucius was living in an old Victorian house in Brooklyn\, New York's Ditmas Park area. They found the place on Craigslist\, not knowing it had been a recording studio and music school for 60 years prior. There were so many treasures that had been left behind–like a 100-year-old Steinway piano that would nurture their writing habits. The four-story musical fortress also housed eight other musician friends and would soon open their doors to bandmates\, Danny Molad and Peter Lalish\, and later\, Andrew Burri. \"None of us were concerned with trying to sound like ”˜a band’\, we just wanted to create a unique environment for each song to sit in\,” they say. Much of their record is about these unique experiences\, told from the same perspective\, at the same time\, with the same sentiment.

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.

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.

Each of these communities maintained its own traditions and practices\; in modern Shanghai only a few historic buildings and sites remain. In this report of my ethnomusicological “study at home\,” I use rare ephemera and other documents to reconstruct a now vanished musical world\, assembling evidence of actual musical events\, their purposes\, participants and repertoire. I observe the many and varied ways in which music functioned as a (subjective) marker of cultural identity within a self-enclosed cultural enclave that was characterized more by its heterogeneity than by the commonality suggested by its Jewishness.\n UID:14129-1191812@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14129 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:cium,jewish diaspora LOCATION:Michigan League - Koessler Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130925T140353 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131030T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131030T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: prints DESCRIPTION:Rising young South African artist Mary Sibande constructs elaborate visual narratives to consider race\, gender\, and class in post-colonial South Africa.

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.

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.

WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO RESCHEDULE FOR A LATER DATE. THANK YOU.\n\nFor a large proportion of us\, our perception of landscape today is built from models invented inside the mind by artistic production\, individual memory and collective culture. In addition\, it is the abundance\, the complexity and most of all the speed that we now view the world that makes it particularly difficult for us to really ”˜see’ nature as no more than a fleeting apparition or visual spectacle. As in Plato’s cave allegory we content ourselves with the illusions of reality and as our lives become more intertwined with technology our constructions of multiple realities increase.\n\nRecent research trips to the ancient Kumano trails of Japan and the wilderness of the Arctic has resulted in a new body of work I refer to as the Phantom Hut series. This theme is a continuation of a long tradition in both Japan and the West that links Landscape with introversion and solitude. This ongoing project explores the phenomenon of detachment and simulation through integrating large-scale oil paintings\, architectural and optical installations. This lecture maps the context and creative results of my attempt to present new approaches to the visualization of nature/landscape and interiority.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nRobert Platt (b. London\, England) has an MA (Painting) from The Royal College of Art\, London and a Ph.D. from Kyoto City University of Arts\, in Kyoto\, Japan. His work has been exhibited at galleries and art fairs internationally and reviewed in publications such as Art Review and Frieze Magazine. Platt is an Assistant Professor at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan\, where he teaches painting.

This lecture examines refuse deposits in the archaeological record at Pompeii and the formation processes involved in their depositions. I argue that refuse retained a real use value and was not\, as today\, meant to be separated permanently from the behavioral system as a collection of “dead” objects. Refuse was instead reclaimed and reused\, re-entering the fabric of the city. Consequently\, many assemblages recovered within the city bear no relationship to the function of the spaces in which they are found. Great care must be taken\, then\, to understand\, first\, the formation process of the assemblages so that we can understand\, second\, how to read them.\n\n UID:15331-1194697@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15331 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:archaeology,museum,pompeii LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology - Lecture Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131023T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131031T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131031T223000 SUMMARY:Other:Halloween Movie Viewing DESCRIPTION:Looking for something to do on Halloween?

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.

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.

Bogdan\, will present.\n\nTo watch online\, please register at http://tinyurl.com/TBogdan\n\n\nAbstract\n\nOur planet is entering an unprecedented era\, sometimes called the Anthropocene\, in which the increasing concentrations of various chemical species and aerosols\, produced by human activity\, are influencing the atmosphere today and will do so for centuries to come.  Politics\, competing agendas\, and confusion among policy makers and the public too often shroud this simple fact.  The role of natural variability has recently emerged as one of the most important\, and at the same time one of the most poorly understood\, aspects of our changing climate.  It is especially prone to misinterpretation.  For example\, the slowdown in the observed global temperature increase over the last 15 years does not mean the factors that contribute to long-term greenhouse warming have abated.  Likewise\, although the rapid warming across most of the planet during the 1980s and 1990s is believed to be mainly related to greenhouse gas increases\, parts of the eastern Pacific simultaneously showed measurable cooling.\n\nThis makes it all the more important that we redouble our efforts to understand the complex workings of our coupled global ocean-atmosphere-biosphere system.  As part of that task\, we must observe our atmosphere\, and the Sun that drives its behavior\, as completely and carefully as possible.  The latest assessment of the relevant physical science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\, released in September\, outlines the areas where scientists are fairly confident in their findings and where there still remain unacceptably large uncertainties.  We cannot yet say if parts of the world may enter climate regimes unseen in human history\, especially given that no previous climate serves as a perfect analogy to the situation we now face.  Global and regional computer models are becoming ever more sophisticated\, but they remain limited in their accuracy due to insufficient spatial resolution and inadequate knowledge of critical processes such as atmosphere-ocean coupling and cloud formation and dispersal.\n\nYet\, like the second law of thermodynamics\, the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass\, or renormalization in quantum electrodynamics\, the concept of human-produced climate change is not something that one may choose to unquestionably believe in\, or simply refuse to accept.  Rather\, it is something that must be carefully examined\, painstakingly compared with observations\, and when found wanting in some aspects\, subsequently reconciled with our growing knowledge of the planet upon which we live.\n\nBiography\n\nA world authority on solar-terrestrial physics\, Bogdan began his scientific training at the University at Buffalo\, State University of New York\, from which he graduated summa cum laude in 1979 with a degree in physics and mathematics. He earned a doctorate in physics from the University of Chicago in 1984\, specializing in plasma astrophysics\, and came to UCAR as a postdoctoral researcher in NCAR's High Altitude Observatory\, where he investigated solar magnetic activity and magnetohydrodynamics. He has completed advanced training programs in leadership and business management from the Federal Executive Institute and E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company.\nAs an administrator\, Bogdan has extensive experience in the formulation and execution of complex plans\, budgets\, and priorities. An inspiring public speaker\, he is a passionate advocate for the role of science in driving our global economic prosperity\, safeguarding our national security\, and bettering our society’s ability to cope with the changing world of the 21st century.\n\nReception to Follow.\n UID:15387-1194771@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15387 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:climate,climate change,engineering,physics LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - Boeing Auditorium (Room 1109) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130917T154237 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131101T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Scholarly Lecture Series DESCRIPTION:John Stratton Hawley\, Professor\, Department of Religion\, Barnard College UID:14726-1193004@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14726 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:india,religion LOCATION:Tappan Hall - 180 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131024T113354 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131101T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:John Stratton Hawley Lecture\, \"When Blindness Makes for Sight\" DESCRIPTION:It is quite rare for a Hindi poet to be depicted in manuscript illustrations of the works he is believed to have composed. Yet this happens with Surdas (16th century)\, the great blind poet of the Hindi language family. Is it Surdas’s blindness that makes it possible for us to see him? Furthermore\, what does it mean that this poet is so constantly asking us to look–to look at the scene from the life of Krishna that he is describing? The great word here is darshan\, that special quality of sight that matters so much to Hindus. Aesthetically speaking\, how does Surdas offer us darshan–and then\, how do his illustrators do the same in a visual medium\, not a verbal one?\n\nJohn Stratton Hawley–more informally\, Jack–is professor of religion at Barnard College\, Columbia University. He has written or edited sixteen books\; three more are forthcoming. These largely concern Hinduism and the bhakti traditions of north India\, as in Three Bhakti Voices: Mirabai\, Surdas\, and Kabir in Their Time and Ours (Oxford\, 2005 and 2012) and The Memory of Love: Surdas Sings to Krishna (Oxford\, 2009). The edited volumes range more widely\, e.g.\, Saints and Virtues\, Fundamentalism and Gender\, and (with Kimberley Patton) Holy Tears: Weeping in the Religious Imagination. Jack Hawley has served as director of Columbia University’s South Asia Institute and has received multiple awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Smithsonian\, and the American Institute of Indian Studies. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The diverse scale and type of work is joined by a common exploration of material and detail. The studio's interest in pragmatic and critical programmatic reflection results in innovative designs that expand our understanding of architectural performance. Design strategies engage issues of how architecture performs within each project's\, social\, cultural and economic context. The practice has been recognized with numerous awards including the AIA Honor Award\, Holcim North American Bronze Award\, Progressive Architecture Design Award\, the Chicago Athenaeum’s American and International Architecture Awards\, Architect Magazine Annual Design Review\, the Design Distinction Award from I.D. magazine\, several Business Week/Architectural Record Awards and several US General Services Administration's Design Excellence Awards. The studio’s work has appeared in many professional journals\, nationally and internationally\, as well as in several surveys of architecture. The work of the studio was exhibited at the Chicago Architectural Foundation\; and in 2005\, Princeton Architectural Press published the first monograph on the studio’s work in its series on emerging designers from around the world.\n\nJulie recently received the American Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award. The award read \"The architecture of Julie VandenBerg Snow might be characterized as invention within convention. That is not to say that her work is conventional but to recognize that\, within a rigorous underpinning\, she and her studio make the marvelous happen. Elegance is balanced by pragmatism - she is a ballerina who can dance in work boots. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying\, \"Everything should be made as simple as possible\, but no simpler.\" The work of Julie VandenBerg Snow does this. Julie Snow has held several visiting professor positions including the Graduate School of Design at Harvard\, University of Arkansas\, University of Maryland\, and Washington University\, St. Louis. After teaching at the University of Minnesota College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture\, she received the Ralph Rapson Award for Distinguished Teaching.

Reagan was in the White House\, Bill Cosby was the king of Thursday nights\, Dirty Dancing was selling out theaters. And on stereos across America\, singer-songwriters like Bryan Adams\, Richard Marx\, and Kenny Loggins were rocking the airwaves with hits that would go on to do the near impossible: cater to popular demand and stand the test of time.\n\nIt was 1987\, and Matt Wertz was an eight-year-old kid in Liberty\, Missouri. He went to Louis and Clark Elementary\, he took piano once a week from his Nana\, he rode shotgun in his mom’s Oldsmobile station wagon. And on those lucky afternoons when he could tune in to Casey’s Top 40\, Wertz listened to songs that would become the soundtrack of an era – Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer\,” Steve Winwood’s “The Finer Things\,” Lionel Richie\, Peter Cetera – classics set to drum machine and Stratocaster.\n\nHe didn't know it then\, but those radio waves were settling into Wertz’s memory and slow-curing his own songwriter sensibility. And after a decade of commercial success\, seven studio albums and thousands of miles touring\, they were the songs Matt found himself going back to over and over again – “Footloose\,” “Mandolin Rain\,” “Hold on to the Nights” – music that was flat-out fun to listen to. \n\nThose hours of rediscovery inspired Matt Wertz to create his newest and most ambitious project to date\, Heatwave. What began with a homemade drum groove on his Nashville front porch has sprung into a distinct\, varied ten-song record that both pays homage to the lush\, accessible sounds characteristic of that era and evidence the breadth of artistic reach Wertz has come to embody at this point in his career.\n\n“Get to You\,” the opening track on Heatwave\, was written during the initial porch session with producer Brandon Hood\, confidently dipping its toes in the electric blue waters of the 80s. The drum groove brings to mind the classic loop beats of that era and immediately establishes the album’s fluid\, dynamic tone. With “Whenever You Love Somebody\,” Wertz delivers the aching\, honest lyrics his fans have come to expect\, this time setting them against a backdrop of resonant beats and velvety guitars.\n\nIn addition to Wertz’s interpretation of his favorite 80s influences\, Heatwave also boasts tracks that feature his wide-ranging scope as a songwriter. Between working independently and on major labels like Universal Republic and Nettwerk Records\, Wertz has become a veteran musician who deftly employed his years of songwriting mastery to this latest offering. After 12 years based in Nashville\, co-writing with the best in the business\, Wertz’s own insights manifest themselves best on the introspective tracks “What I Know Right Now” and “Thing About Freedom.”\n\n“What I Know Right Now” explores a contemporary folk blend of warm harmonies and brushed snare\, and “Thing About Freedom” gently draws the album to a close with pensive lines and a melancholy steel guitar.\n\nHeatwave bridges a lifetime of musical history. Wertz uses the melodies of his Missouri childhood as a springboard into an exciting new realm of modern musical possibilities\, interpreting his influences in a striking\, singular way. As Wertz himself would say\, these are the songs he’d want stuck in his head. And that’s a good thing for everyone.

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.

Rooted in her own family’s history of three generations of women as domestic servants\, Sibande’s larger-than-life figures clothed in yards of fabric confront the viewer with the stark limits of cultural heritage as well as the possibility of transformation. Sibande’s Ann Arbor fellowship includes an original installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, a Penny Stamps lecture\, an open studio at the Stamps School on North Campus\, and exhibition of Sibande’s existing work at Gallery DAAS\, the U-M Museum of Art\, and the Stamps School Slusser Gallery.

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.

With only enough capital to put out one book\, John finds himself besieged by two authors. Denny McCleary\, John's brash and gifted college friend\, has produced a manuscript so unruly it lives in a trio of crates. Denny has a surprise imperative: He's fallen in love with the enchanting heiress Rosamund Plinth\, and if John doesn't agree to publish his book today\, he'll lose her forever. But John is also being strenously lobbied by Jessie Brewster\, the popular black jazz singer who is also John's secret mistress. She's written her memoirs and is determined to have her story known. As John temporizes with these two\, another drama is playing out in the anteroom: A machine of mysterious provenance and purpose has arrived and is spewing out stacks of pags while John's hapless assistant\, Gidger\, strives vainly to stem the flood. What's written on these pages will throw John's every hope and plan into disarray.
