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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193668@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131111T170949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131201T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131201T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity DESCRIPTION:Artrain\, Inc. and Arts at Michigan are pleased to present Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity\, a rich\, reflective exhibition of works by 39 artists representing the vast cultural blend of modern American society. \n\nPublic Reception - Tuesday\, November 12\, at 5:00 p.m. followed by a\nPenny W.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193669@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131125T130809 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131202T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131202T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Ditching the Term Paper: Using Digital Media to Demonstrate Achievement of Learning Objectives DESCRIPTION: Associate Professor Patricia Abbott\, Ph.D\, RN\, FAAN\, will present \"Ditching the Term Paper - Using Digital Media to Demonstrate achievement of Learning Objectives.\" This event is part of a UMSN series for faculty to share their experiences incorporating various technologies in instructional\, research\, and clinical work.

University of Michigan.\n\nThe last 30 years has seen a dramatic “financialization” of pension systems as governments\, particularly in Latin America and Eastern Europe\, have replaced or complimented their defined benefit pay-as-you-go pension systems with financed\, defined contribution alternatives. One side-effects of this switch has been a significant increase in the number of citizens whose welfare is directly tied to the movements of financial markets. This talk examines the political implications of this shift with respect to voting patterns\, popular attitudes towards the market\, and the sort of macroeconomic performance that citizens demand. The talk will place this recent round of pension reform and its effects in the context of other government initiated expansions of capital ownership\, including Thatcher's enterprise society and Eastern European privatization in the early 1990s. \n\nAndrew Kerner is an assistant professor of Political Science and a faculty associate at the Center for Political Studies at University of Michigan. He received his PhD from Emory University (2009) and BA from Connecticut College (2002). Professor Kerner studies the politics of corporate finance. He is particular interested in and writes about foreign direct investment\, corporate governance and the role of pension funds and pension reform in the political economy of stock market development.

But it's when this group comes home to the Midwest that things really get cooking. Mississippi Heat lead singer Inetta Visor is a powerhouse in the Etta James tradition. Bandleader and blistering harmonica player Pierre Lacocque came to Chicago from Brussels\, Belgium\, where he was the only non-Jew ever to attend the Athenée Maimonides school–his Christian minister father felt that he should learn about the suffering of the Jews. As a teenager in Chicago\, where his father was teaching theology\, he heard a concert by harmonica player Big Walter Horton\, and\, he recalls\, \"I was absolutely stunned and in awe.\" And as for the rest of Mississippi Heat\, they are\, in the words of the Chicago Sun-Times\, \"quite simply the hottest band in Chicago\"–and that's saying a lot!

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.

This talk\, concentrating primarily on the case of India\, examines the bureaucratic\, strategic\, and intellectual challenges posed for the Qing state by the expansion of its rivals. In particular\, it considers how a government that had been accustomed to managing a diverse and fragmented borderland adapted to the fact that the activities of other empires\, evident across widely separated and non-contiguous regions\, formed part of an increasingly integrated web of imperial competition.\n \nMatthew W.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193670@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131121T092558 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131203T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131203T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Biological Chemistry Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Dr. Chuan He \, Professor\, Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago will present a seminar titled: Reversible DNA and RNA methylation in biological regulation.\" The seminar will be held in 5330 MS I from 12-1pm on Tuesday\, December 3\, 2013.

Ma and Adams drill deep into Chinese society\, illuminating all the scarcities that will limit its power and progress. Beyond scarcities of natural resources and public goods\, they illuminate China’s persistent poverties of individual freedoms\, cultural appeal\, and ideological legitimacy – and the corrosive loss of values and beliefs amongst a growing middle class shackled by a parochial and inflexible political system. Everyone knows “the 21st century is China’s to lose” – but\, as with so many things that “everyone knows\,” that’s just wrong. Ma and Adams get beyond cheerleading and fearmongering to tell the complex truth about China today. This is a truth you need to hear – whether you’re an investor\, business decision-maker\, policymaker\, or citizen.\n\nReception to follow. Copies of the book can be purchased and signed by the author during the reception.

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.

Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her.

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.

Kraft\, Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs Emeritus\, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay\n\nChristopher Borick\, Director\, Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion \n\nModerator:\nBarry Rabe\, Director\, Center for Local\, State and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n\nAbout the presentation:\n\nThe federal Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is the premier national example of a non-regulatory environmental policy\, and it illustrates well both the potential and limitations of using information disclosure to achieve policy goals. The TRI was adopted in 1986 as an amendment to the federal Superfund law\, and since 1988 we have had annual reports on the release of over 650 toxic chemicals by some 20\,000 industrial facilities around the nation. By most accounts\, the disclosure of this information has had a remarkable impact on environmental performance of industry\, with over a 60 percent decrease over time in the release of toxic chemicals by those facilities governed by the law. However\, in our book Coming Clean: Information Disclosure and Environmental Performance (MIT Press 2011\, written with Mark Stephan and Troy D. Abel)\, we found that facility performance varied widely\, with some facilities significantly decreasing their release of chemicals and also the risk associated with chemical releases while others moved in the opposite direction. We sought to learn more about the potential for reliance on information disclosure as a policy strategy and also its limitations. This presentation summarizes the findings of Coming Clean\, and applies the lessons of the TRI program to the emerging concern over natural gas fracking. How might the disclosure of information about use of chemicals during the fracking process and their health and environmental risks alert the public and policymakers to important aspects of the process and guide development of local\, state\, and federal policy on fracking? What is the best way to design such an information disclosure policy so that it can succeed in educating the public about those risks while not imposing excessive or unreasonable burdens on industry? \n\nAbout the presenters:\n\nMichael E. Kraft is Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs Emeritus and Herbert Fisk Johnson Professor of Environmental Studies Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. He completed his undergraduate work at the University of California\, Riverside\, and he received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Political Science from Yale University. From 1977 to 2013 he taught at UW-Green Bay\, where he offered courses on environmental politics and policy\, public policy analysis\, Congress\, and environmental science and policy. He continues to teach part time in a new online Sustainable Management master’s program in the UW System. He also has held visiting faculty appointments at Oberlin College and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.\nAmong other works\, he is author of Environmental Policy and Politics (6th ed.\, Pearson Longman in press for 2014 release)\; co-author of Coming Clean: Information Disclosure and Environmental Performance (MIT Press 2011)\, co-author of Public Policy: Politics\, Analysis\, and Alternatives (CQ Press\, 4th edition\, 2013)\; and co-editor and contributing author of Environmental Policy (CQ Press\, 8th ed.\, 2013)\; The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Environmental Policy (2013)\; Business and Environmental Policy (MIT Press\, 2007)\; Toward Sustainable Communities: Transition and Transformations in Environmental Policy (MIT Press\, 2nd ed. 2009)\; and Public Reactions to Nuclear Waste: Citizens' Views of Repository Siting (Duke University Press\, 1993). He also serves as co-editor (with Sheldon Kamieniecki) of a book series\, American and Comparative Environmental Policy\, at MIT Press. \nKraft’s research interests focus on U.S. environmental policy and politics\, and his most recent project dealt with the impact of information disclosure programs on corporate environmental performance in the United States. It used the federal Toxics Release Inventory program to examine trends in toxic chemical releases and risk reduction at some 10\,000 industrial facilities nationwide and the reasons for variation among firms\, communities\, and states. This research was funded by the National Science Foundation and was the focus of the book\, Coming Clean\, co-authored with Mark Stephan and Troy Abel\; the book won the 2012 Lynton K. Caldwell Award from the American Political Science Association.\n\n\nChristopher P. Borick is a Professor of Political Science and Director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193671@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130911T180056 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131204T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131204T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture DESCRIPTION:Yuson Jung\, assistant professor of anthropology\, Wayne State University.\n\nIn this lecture\, Jung will discuss Bulgarian consumers’ discourses and practices of organic foods by examining the tension and contradictory perspectives regarding the consumption of certified organic foods. While Bulgaria became the country with the strictest regulations against GMO farming in the EU thanks to the strong support for organic and sustainable agriculture by Bulgarian consumers\, certified organic foods are not popular. Many consumers express skepticism in the regulatory process of certification and question the authority of those who do the certifying. Although Bulgarians consider themselves as strong advocates for organically produced foods\, they are less inclined to purchase certified organics. At the same time\, however\, they also insist that they buy organic foods whenever possible. This ambivalence and seeming contradictions are informed by the historical experiences of state socialism and postsocialist transitions that have shaped the moral and ethical framework of these consumers. The role of the state\, as well as the relationship to the state that consumers have cultivated\, are important to understand the issues of ethical foods and food movements in contemporary Bulgaria.\n\nYuson Jung is assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Wayne State University. Her research explores issues of consumption\, food\, globalization\, postsocialism\, and European integration. She is completing a book manuscript Balkan Blues: Everyday Consumption and the Poverty of the State based on ethnographic fieldwork in Bulgaria\, and has been studying the cultural politics of wine to examine the intersection of global food politics and transnational governance from the perspectives of Bulgarian wine producers. Her work has appeared in Anthropological Quarterly\, Anthropological Journal of European Cultures\, Food\, Culture\, and Society\, and as chapters in several edited volumes (Wine and Culture\, eds. R. Black and R. Ulin\, Bloomsbury\, 2013\; Food and Everyday Life in the Post-Socialist World\, ed. M. Caldwell\, Indiana University Press\, 2009). She has also co-edited Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist Worlds (with J. Klein and M. Caldwell\, University of California Press\, forthcoming 2014). Most recently\, she has started a new collaborative research project (with Andrew Newman) entitled “Just Food for Detroit: Groceries\, Ethics\, and Governance in the Resilient City” which examines urban food politics and the controversy related to the arrival of the Whole Foods Market in the city.

Yet\, more often than not\, it is the look of\, and structures for looking at\, the image that grounds viewers’ fascination with bodies. This brownbag presentation discusses the power of the look in the construction of one such body–the ”˜mad’ body. Part of a larger project on cinematic madness\, genre and spectatorship\, this discussion takes up the look of madness configured as mental illness in mid- to late-twentieth century US and British films\, including Nunnally Johnson’s \"The Three Faces Eve\" (US\, 1957). In this film\, Johnson adapts the markers of both the written case history and the subsequent instructional medical documentary to the temporal and spatial conventions of classical Hollywood cinema. While such genre adaptation risks re-inscribing dominant social norms and discourses\, the visual look of the film–and the viewer’s desire for Eve’s body–work to rupture disciplinary power relations. I suggest the same affective logic undergirds the look of other films centered on mental illness across genres. Film clips will be included in this presentation.

On April 3\, 1948\, sporadic uprisings began on the island in opposition to the South-only election that was scheduled for May 10. Things worsened and massive suppression ensued\, resulting in hundreds and thousands of casualties. By using “Volcano Island” written by Kim Seok-beom\, a Korean writer in Japan who originated from Jeju\, as a text of inquiry\, Sonia Ryang discusses the absense of proper language to capture the Jeju 4.3 Uprising of 1948 and subsequent atrocities on the island.\n\nSonia Ryang is a Professor of Anthropology and International Studies and Stanley Family and Korea Foundation Chair of Korean Studies in the University of Iowa. She currently serves as the Director of Academics in the International Programs. As a social anthropologist (PhD Cambridge) Ryang is the author of a number of books including\, most recently\, Reading North Korea: An Ethnological inquiry (2012\, Harvard).

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193672@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131114T131338 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131205T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131205T133000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Healthy Holidays\, Healthy Stuff Open House DESCRIPTION:The U-M Community is invited to a \"Healthy Holidays\, Healthy Stuff\" open house on Thursday\, December 5\, 2013 at the Hatcher Graduate Library.

Her first book\, The Boundaries of the Republic: Migrant Rights and the Limits of Universalism in France\, 1918-1940 (Stanford University Press\, 2007)\, was a winner of the 2008 James Willard Hurst Prize awarded by the Law and Society Association for the best book in socio-legal history. It was translated into French by Editions Agone in 2010. Her new book\, Divided Rule: Sovereignty and Empire in French Tunisia\, 1881-1938\, was just released by the University of California Press\; her talk will draw from the themes covered in this book.

In some amphibians\, infection with Bd can lead to the disease chytridiomycosis\, death of individuals\, and declines and extirpation at the population level. Other amphibians\, however\, can become infected with Bd without experiencing negative effects at either the individual or population level. In California’s Sierra Nevada\, both of these outcomes of Bd infection are occurring in populations of the mountain yellow-legged frog species complex (Rana muscosa & Rana sierrae): chytridiomycosis has led to the extirpation of mountain yellow-legged frogs from hundreds of lakes\, while infected populations of the same species have persisted in other lakes for many years despite high Bd prevalence. Efforts are currently underway\, both in the Sierra Nevada and worldwide\, to attempt to control this pathogen and/or limit its impact on amphibian populations. Eradication of Bd is highly unlikely\, therefore understanding the mechanisms that allow amphibian populations to persist with Bd is important for conservation efforts. In this talk\, I will investigate which of the available control strategies have the greatest potential to protect amphibian populations from extinctions.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193673@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130912T161119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131206T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131206T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. \"Sovereignty's Agents: Making and Unmaking the State During the British Occupation of Manila\, 1762-1764\" DESCRIPTION:The British occupation of Manila during the Seven Years' War was ostensibly a struggle between the British and Spanish crowns and their agents. But what was the state and who were the agents\, especially in a place at the limit of British and Spanish imperial reaches? Of what did sovereignty consist\, and how was it secured? This talk considers the complex and contradictory components of state power\, focusing on the British. British state institutions- the East India Company and the Royal Navy-were formally though tenuously allied in the operation\, but often at odds with each other. Even more\, when we look closely at the personnel composing the British operation-sepoys\, lascars\, topasses\, and enemy deserters\, for example-and how those agents' allegiance was secured and sometimes insecure\, we see how complex and fragile British sovereignty was a the far edge of its Indian Ocean world. It can also be argued that sovereignty's exercise depends in part on its own performance\, demonstrating how the portrayal of the British occupation to locals created opportunities for related provincial revolts.

How big is it? How old? What is our place in it?\n\nFor just as long\, we've been making up answers. Every generation was convinced it got it right\, and each in turn was proven wrong.\n\nStunning advances in modern cosmology finally appear to give definitive answers to some of the Big Questions. Professor McGaugh will explore the evidence supporting this picture\, and ask whether we have finally got it right. History - and quite a lot of contradictory evidence - suggest we may still have a lot to learn.\n\n \nAfter the lecture\, please join the Student Astronomical Society for planetarium shows and observatory open house\, 8 - 10 PM in Angell Hall.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\" UID:15040-1193674@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,art exhibition,china,visual arts LOCATION:Work Gallery 306 South State Street CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131207T000016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131207T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:STMD@UMMA: Omni-Fi DESCRIPTION:Join Stephen Rush’s Digital Music Ensemble for this interactive concert that inhabits the Museum\&##39\;s galleries and spaces in dynamic new ways. 1-4pm UID:14829-1193098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14829 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131207T000016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131207T160000 SUMMARY:Performance:Early Music Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Works for choir and ensembles by Byrd\, Praetorius\, Willaert\, Telemann\, J.S.

He paints. He had his first singing gig at age three. He comes from Tupelo\, Mississippi and absorbed the power of gospel music just like another famous native of that town. And he ties it all together in original songs\, masterpieces of gutbucket storytelling country and soul with a fearless confessional streak (and often very funny).
