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.

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.

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.

Often described as haunting\, alluring and dreamy\, Cowboy Junkies have long since secured their place in the annals pop rock history. Their lauded 1988 release\, The Trinity Session\, is the band's seminal album\, a melancholic mixture of blues\, country\, folk\, and rock featuring a collection of originals\, covers and traditional songs. After the success of that unforgettable album\, the Junkies gracefully built an impressive discography\, and they've just finished a cycle of four albums completed over 18 months. The latest\, \"The Wilderness\,\" sees the band taking the long view without losing their atmospheric bluesy sound. \"These idle tales we need to keep us going\, these tales are for our children\,\" they sing. Writes Fred Thomas of\nAllMusic: \"Topics like parenthood and getting older come up more than late-twenties existential ennui\, but are addressed with the same lost\, wandering uncertainty that characterized the band's earlier work.\" Cowboy Junkies are\, in short\, a band whose value has transcended the excitement of youth. They were extraordinary then and they are equally extraordinary today. We are very proud to welcome them for The Ark's 2013 Fall Fundraiser.

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.

First mobilized in the 1970s by feminists to denounce \"sexual exploitation\" of local women in Asia\, the category has shifted to child prostitution first and\, most recently\, to human trafficking\, narrowing the notion and reducing its critical potentiality. Professor Roux will analyze the historical transformation of Western discourses on sex tourism\, and describe its political and practical consequences.\n\nSebastien Roux is a CNRS researchers at the EHESS\, in Paris. His research focuses on sexuality\, gender\, affects\, and family. In 2011 he published \"No Money\, No Honey: Intimate Economies of Sex Tourism in Thailand\,\" which investigates the relationship between affect\, love\, sex work and power\, based on ethnographic fieldwork in Bangkok.

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.

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.

These are: Hayrullo Hamidov\, the popular poet\, radio host\, journalist and religious teacher jailed by the Uzbek government in spring 2010\; “Muniyb\,” a pseudonymous religious scholar and poet who recently published a voluminous religious commentary on the meaning of suffering and the 2010 Osh violence combined with a number of original poems\; and Obidxon Qori Nazarov (Sobitxon O’g’li)\, an exiled popular cleric known for his digitally published sermons and broadcasts.\n\nPopular works by these two post-Soviet “new Uzbek” authors and one of the last remaining late-Soviet reformist (mujaddidiyya) clerics reach Uzbeks around the world thanks to the digital media platforms that both create space for them to exist and shape the way they are received and who can interact with them. This paper argues that in spite of Uzbekistan’s tight censorship environment\, multiple non-state voices participate in contemporary and increasingly important debates about what it means to be both Uzbek and Muslim\, and that these two interwoven perspectives shape social responses to social and political pressures\, tragedy\, violence\; ultimately\, they inform questions about how to live a “good” and meaningful life in contemporary conditions.\n\nNoah Tucker has worked in a variety of positions involving intelligence\, analysis and research\, and education. He currently conducts research and analysis of socio-economic\, political\, and human rights issues in post-Soviet Central Asia as a consultant for U.S. government agencies\, NGOs\, and academic projects\, and provides research and reporting to senior national-level policymakers. He has lived\, worked\, and done field research in the former USSR for over four years (primarily in Uzbekistan\, Russia\, and Kyrgyzstan). From 2002-05\, he was co-founder and director of a non-profit education project in Tashkent\, Uzbekistan. He holds an M.A. in Russian\, Eastern European and Central Asian Area Studies from Harvard University.\n\nPart of the series Pluralism in Politics and Culture\, a new initiative jointly sponsored by CREES and WCED that examines the foundations of free and open societies. The project builds on the university’s rich legacy of study and support of the dissident culture in the former Soviet Union and on several existing efforts at U-M. The series focuses on multiple facets of political pluralism\, including its legal\, cultural\, and economic dimensions\, and explore them in a broader historical context.

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.

Berkove\, Ph.D. Emeritus Professor of English Literature\, University of Michigan-Dearborn\n\n\nMark Twain is rightly considered one of the greatest humorists of all time. In recent years however\, because of more sophisticated ways of reading his literature and because of attention given to less well-known\, newly available\, and hitherto unpublished manuscripts\, he has also become known as an outspoken social critic and as a tragedian. How these widely different positions can be reconciled by an understanding of his art and values will be the subject of this discussion.

The exhibit will be up for eight weeks. The Art and Environment Gallery at the School of Natural Resources and Environment was created to draw attention to the role of art in environmental education and stewardship. The gallery is located inside LEED-certified Dana\, the University of Michigan’s greenest building.\n\nJohn Gutoskey’s show\, “Upcycled Icons\,” transforms discarded waste into sacred artifacts\; his work shows how humble discarded materials can create the same visual impact as precious metals and jewels. Gutoskey uses these “upcycled icons” to explore alternative representations of spiritual energy\, and present a queer perspective on social and religious issues. \n\n “The arts provide a common language across cultures and professions\,” explains gallery director and curator Sara Adlerstein. “This gallery provides a forum for people to meet across disciplinary fields and within the community to talk about environmental issues.” Whether through educational outreach\, starting conversations\, or encouraging reflection on nature’s value\, the environmental arts convey compelling messages about sustainability.

Geneticists think rapid change in laboratory selection experiments is artificial and couldn’t be sustained in nature. Paleontologists think evolution is slow because rates calculated for change in the fossil record are infinitesimal. Who is right and who is wrong? How fast is evolution?\n\nMany phenotypic traits of interest in evolution are normally (log-normally) distributed because they are polygenic: differences between populations are naturally measured in standard deviation units. Evolution is a process that takes place through time. Natural selection acts generation by generation on phenotypic variance: evolutionary time is appropriately measured in generations. More time usually means more difference. Hence rates are calculated for comparison\, in units called haldanes (not darwins): standard deviations per generation\, not factors of e per million years. \n\nHere things get interesting because a rate per generation on a time scale of one generation is rarely the same as a rate per generation on a time scale of ten\, or a hundred\, or a thousand generations. Scale is important. Further\, there are different kinds of selection. Stabilizing selection and directional selection have cumulative fractal scaling effects\, meaning they leave fingerprints and can be recognized by characteristic rate distributions. \n\nHow fast is evolution? Ask the question carefully because the answer depends on the question. Are you interested in the evolutionary process or the history of life?

Respondent: Fatma Müge Göçek\, professor of sociology\, U-M. \n\nProfessor Bennoune will present the “Arab Spring” chapter of her forthcoming book\, Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Untold Stories from the Fight Against Muslim Fundamentalism. Entitled “Sidi Bouzid Blues and the Green Wave: Journeys through the Arab Spring and Fall\,” this aspect of her work recounts the hopes and concerns of women’s rights defenders in Tunisia and Egypt after the revolutions of 2011. In particular\, it focuses on the challenges to their work posed by the subsequent rise of fundamentalism in their countries\, and the difficult strategic choices that this gives rise to in transition periods. Having escaped relatively secular autocracies\, are they now doomed to theocracy? Or can they break out of the so-called Islamist dilemma which offers these as the only available alternatives?\n \nBennoune will also discuss her follow up research across the region during summer 2013\, in light of recent developments\, including the removal of Mohamed Morsi as President of Egypt\, the recent twentieth anniversary of the start of Algeria’s “dar decade” and the ongoing drafting of the new Tunisian constitution.\n\nKarima Bennoune is Professor of Law at the University of California-Davis\, where she teaches courses on issues related to international law and human rights. She graduated from a joint program in law and Middle Eastern and North African studies at the University of Michigan\, earning a J.D. cum laude and an M.A.\, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies. She came to UC Davis after ten years at Rutgers School of Law-Newark where she was Professor of Law and Arthur L. Dickson Scholar. Professor Bennoune has also been a visiting scholar and visiting professor at the University of Michigan Law School where she won the L. Hart Wright Award for Excellence in teaching. Her publications have appeared in many leading academic journals\, and have been widely cited by news media\, NGOs\, and governmental reports. She has shared her expertise as a consultant for a number of organizations\, and has made frequent media appearances and contributions\, in addition to presenting lectures in academic settings around the world. Her human rights field missions have included Afghanistan\, Bangladesh\, Fiji\, Lebanon\, Pakistan\, South Korea\, Thailand\, and Tunisia.

Dar has always kept audiences guessing. Are her songs autobiographical? They're so vivid\, and they seem so personal\, that you assume they must be. But Dar says that she prefers to write about and for other people. Her songs tell stories of politics\, religion\, sexuality\, and family\, and the grassroots activism she has practiced often finds its way into her music. Dar comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"In the Time of Gods.\" Its lyrics traffic in the complex and mysterious world of mythology\, which aligned with other issues the singer-songwriter was grappling with. \"I'm interested in power right now\,\" Dar says. \"I’m in my 40s\, and I’m shocked that the café conversations I had in my 20s-’Somebody has to do something!’- are now my responsibility. I see people who are actually doing things that you always dreamed somebody would do\, and I can help make that a reality.

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.

Professor Christopher Kennedy (Civil Engineering\, University of Toronto) presents cities as an urban metabolism\, composed of material and energy stocks and flows\, and discusses how infrastructure is a fundamental determinant of the metabolism. Professor John Crittenden (Director\, Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems\, Georgia Tech University) introduces the audience to infrastructure ecology\, which conceptualizes and models traditional infrastructures (e.g.\, water\, energy\, transportation) and socio-economic-ecological infrastructures (e.g.\, community design\, land use planning) as an intertwined\, complex\, emergent urban nexus. \n\nEach presenter will speak for approximately twenty minutes\, followed by questions from University of Michigan assistant professors\, Joshua Newell (SNRE) and Ming Xu (SNRE)\, and from the audience. The event will produce a lively\, interactive discussion and reflection on what we must do to forge sustainable\, resilient cities in an era of climate change\, unprecedented urbanization\, and ecological crises. A reception follows this special event.

Only 250 meters on a side\, it was home to 6\,000 people living in 90 run-down flophouses. This was where day laborers lived and died on the streets. Following the method they developed in Sanrizuka\, Ogawa’s crew lived with the workers\, tenderly filming the trials of their daily lives. It is a touching and heartrending film.

Dar has always kept audiences guessing. Are her songs autobiographical? They're so vivid\, and they seem so personal\, that you assume they must be. But Dar says that she prefers to write about and for other people. Her songs tell stories of politics\, religion\, sexuality\, and family\, and the grassroots activism she has practiced often finds its way into her music. Dar comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"In the Time of Gods.\" Its lyrics traffic in the complex and mysterious world of mythology\, which aligned with other issues the singer-songwriter was grappling with. \"I'm interested in power right now\,\" Dar says. \"I’m in my 40s\, and I’m shocked that the café conversations I had in my 20s-’Somebody has to do something!’- are now my responsibility. I see people who are actually doing things that you always dreamed somebody would do\, and I can help make that a reality. So the stakes are higher\, in a good way\, but you also see the shadow\, the reckless behavior\, where a person can lose it all in a weekend.\" UID:13416-1184641@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/13416 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:dar williams,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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.

The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast–dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition–from the storytelling to the bagpipes. The band's latest album\, \"The Modest Revolution\,\" is based entirely on the contents of a single issue of the Globe and Mail newspaper–sports included!
