The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux. She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

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.

A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196397@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131211T180254 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140116T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140116T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Center for Michigan: Provoking the Public’s Agenda to Make Michigan a Better Place DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Philip H.

PHE strives to find a balance between achieving population health goals and promoting individual liberty. To reach this balance PHE scholars encourage the use of least restrictive alternatives. However\, least restrictive approaches are often taken for granted as presumed goods and their ability to protect individual liberty and the common good is often assumed. I examine this presumption through an examination of informed consent – implied and express – for newborn screening (NBS) in Ontario. I conducted an exploratory qualitative case study to understand how 57 individuals involved in the lobbying\, development\, and implementation of expanded NBS in Ontario perceive consent policy for NBS. In this seminar I will present my interview findings on participants’ attitudes towards informed consent for NBS as contextualized within the broader PHE principles of least restrictive alternatives\, effectiveness\, autonomy\, and social justice. Challenging informed consent as a presumed good and submitting the practice of consent to ethical scrutiny legitimates the concerns of those wary of consent\, illuminates the perceived benefits and risks of consent\, and creates an opportunity to mitigate risks before implementing or adjusting NBS consent policy. \n\n UID:15994-1196823@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15994 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:informed consent,public health,public policy LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex - Building 16, Conference Rm 266 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131121T161334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140116T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:4\,000 Years for Choice DESCRIPTION:This lecture expands upon the Lane Hall Gallery exhibition\, \"4\,000 Years for Choice: A Graphic Guide to Reproductive Justice\,\" featuring two related projects by graphic designer Heather Ault.\n\n\"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practices of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history.

How do species interact? How do communities assemble? How do ecosystems function? Importantly\, how do human impacts such as nutrient enrichment and land use change alter these processes? In this talk\, I explore two main research areas that ask fundamental ecological questions in changing environments. First\, I show that nutrient enrichment can dramatically alter relationships between grasses and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi\, but that different grass species respond differently to altered environmental conditions. This finding inspires one of my future research directions\, which asks whether this mechanism influences community assembly in nutrient-enriched habitats. Second\, I briefly explore causes of variation in beta diversity (spatial variation in species composition within a community) in post-agricultural habitats. This line of research motivates a second future research direction\, which asks what effect these differences in beta diversity have on ecosystem function. Understanding these core ecological topics\, species interactions and the causes of beta diversity\, remain important goals for basic community ecologists. Today’s rapidly changing human-impacted ecosystems provide both inspiration and a testing ground for exploration of these core topics. My research program is rooted in the belief that knowledge of fundamental ecological processes and how they respond to altered environmental contexts is vital to our understanding of life around us.

The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux. She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

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.

A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196398@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131222T165414 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140117T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140117T110000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Computerized Investing 201 - Active Investing--OLLI (50+) Study Group DESCRIPTION:This class meets every other Friday\, 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. 1/17\, 1/31\, 2/14\, 2/28\, 4/4\, 4/18\, 5/2.

A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196399@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140113T135919 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140118T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140118T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Maps and Mapmaking in India DESCRIPTION:The Stephen S.

Justin and his band\, the Not Ready for Naptime Players\, dish out intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents. Roberts started out in the Minneapolis indie rock band Pimentos for Gus\, which inspired a devoted but small following. So Roberts decided to moonlight (during the day) as a Montessori preschool teacher. Soon he began writing songs for a new generation of fans: his students. He was soon being compared to everyone from Elvis Costello to Fountains of Wayne and Nick Lowe. It was clear that Justin had figured out the elusive trick of appealing to both kids and adults. Kiddie mosh pits broke out\, word spread\, and shows started selling out–at renowned venues like New York's Symphony Space and even Lollapalooza. Time Out NY Kids named Justin's \"Meltdown\" CD to its list of the best children's music of the last 30 years\, and he comes to town with a new release\, \"Recess.\" Time to hit the playground!\n UID:14920-1193420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14920 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:justin roberts,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S Main Street, Ann Arbor, MI CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131206T133539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140118T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140118T150000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Springtime in Istanbul - Plants of Turkey and Cyprus DESCRIPTION:A presentation by long-time Rock Garden Society member Bill Brown on the spring flora of Turkey and Cyprus.

A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196400@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140113T135919 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140119T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140119T233000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Maps and Mapmaking in India DESCRIPTION:The Stephen S.

Pepper: album in his father’s record collection. After wearing the record out on his aqua green playschool record player\, Peter went on to create his own house music\, setting up plastic trash cans and using pencils as drumsticks. Eventually his grandfather purchased real drum sticks to replace the pencils and a true musician was born. The grandfather had been a jazz clarinetist in big bands during the time of Benny Goodman and Pete Fountain. Peter remembers lying under his grandfather’s piano listening to him play. \nPeter went on to earn a B.A. and Master's Degree in composition and eventually wound up in Los Angeles\, where he worked as a freelance film and TV composer. In 2000\, he co-founded the duo Eastmountainsouth\, and in 2002 they were signed by Robbie Robertson (of The Band) to DreamWorks Records. Now based in Nashville\, he has since released four solo albums. When asked about the progression from his first release\, \"Gather Up\,\" to the current \"Between Us\,\" he says\, \"I think I've been progressively finding my voice\, both as a songwriter and a singer\; and although I feel like I'm finally starting to hit my stride\, there's still this continual dissatisfaction ... still a feeling that I haven't found it yet.\" UID:15337-1194702@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15337 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,peter bradley adams,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196401@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140115T110537 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140120T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140120T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Keynote Memorial Lecture of the Rev.

I explored novel interactions between native herbivores and non-native plants in order to understand the mechanisms that underlie novel host use and to build predictive models that anticipate novel food webs. I found that different herbivores responded to different non-native plant traits\, but that phylogenetic similarity between the novel host and a local native host was typically a good predictor of host-use. Using information about native food webs and plant phylogeny\, I was able to accurately predict the moth and butterfly communities on non-native plants introduced to central Europe. At a broad scale\, novel herbivore-plant interactions are predictable based on plant relationships and traits\, even though the mechanisms governing each interaction may differ UID:15953-1196978@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15953 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:ecology,evolutionary biology LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131220T154113 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140120T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:People of the River Photography and Video Exhibit DESCRIPTION:People of the River captures the life of so called ribeirinhos (river people) that inhabit the Pantanal region in Brazil.

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.

A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196402@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140113T093639 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140121T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140121T113000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Great Decisions & Virgil's \"Aeneid\"--OLLI Study Groups (50+) DESCRIPTION:Great Decisions\, Section 1\nClass meets every other Tuesday\, 1/21\, 2/4\, 2/18\, 3/4\, 3/18\, 4/1\, 4/15\, 4/29\, 5/13.\nIt will be facilitated by Larry and Karen Tuttle at Genesis of Ann Arbor (Temple Beth Emeth/St. Clare's Church)\, 2309 Packard Street. $63 (includes course briefing book).\n\nWe will discuss eight critical issues facing the U.S. this year.

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.

A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196403@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140115T132655 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140122T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140122T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Other Camera: An Exhibit Curated by Paul Weinberg DESCRIPTION:The Other Camera explores the world from the standpoint of participatory\, and community photographers.

Psy and his Gangnam Style is but one example\, though an amazing one. \n\nKorean poetry has also been a part of a performance tradition in Korea\, though perhaps because of the language barrier and the challenges of translation\, Korean poems and poets\, classical\, modern\, and contemporary\, are not yet so widely recognized. No Nobel Prize in Literature for a Korean author–yet.\n\nMost everyone knows a haiku when they see one\, but its Korean counterpart\, the sijo\, is not well known. Yet the sijo has a long and fascinating history\, a remarkable range of texts\, and a dynamic performance tradition worth knowing better\, and for the brave or for the young\, worth a try in English.\n\nDavid McCann has translated sijo\, and a few years ago\, following his own example in his class on Writing Asian Poetry\, began writing it in English. A book of his sijo poems\, Urban Temple\, was published in English in 2010\, and in a dual-language\, Korean and English edition in Korea in 2013. He will introduce the form\, its history and a few exemplary texts\, try out some of his own sijo poems with the audience\, and make some time available for writing a sijo\, for those bold enough to try.\n\nDavid McCann is Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Literature in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. His several prizes\, grants\, and fellowships include the Cultural Order of Merit awarded by the Korean government\, the Manhae Prize in Arts and Sciences\, the Daesan Foundation Translation Grant\, and the Korea P.E.N. Center Translation Prize. His books include Azaleas\, a book of poems by Kim Sowôl\, Traveler Maps: Poems by Ko Un\, The Columbia Anthology of Modern Korean Poetry\, Early Korean Literature: Selections and Introductions\, War and Democracy: A Comparative Study of the Korean War and the Peloponnesian War (with Barry S. Strauss) and The Classical Moment: Views from Seven Literatures (with Gail H. Warhaft). His poems have been published in Poetry\, Salamander\, Runes\, Café Review\, Off the Coast\, and other journals. His poem “David” was included in the Pushcart Prize Anthology III. His recent books of poems include a chapbook\, Cat Bird Tree (Pudding House Publications\, 2004)\, The Way I Wait For You (Codhill Press\, 2007)\, and a collection of poems in the sijo form\, Urban Temple (Bo Leaf Books\, 2010) with a Korean-English edition from Changbi Publishers in 2012.

Daniels connects these digital era examples of propaganda on the popular Internet to political satire such as Stephen Colbert’s arch-conservative character to argue that we are at an epistemological crossroads between “truth\,” and “truthiness” that raises important political questions about social justice.\n\nPart of the Feminist Digital Pedagogies series.\n#FemTechNet\n\nSponsored by Digital Studies at the University of Michigan\, The Department of American Culture\, the Institute for Research on Women & Gender\, and the Cohn Fund in the Department of Screen Arts and Culture.

DESCRIPTION:Come join members of the Office of Student Conflict Resolution Student Advisory Board in a unique dialogue exploring the encouragement provided by this year’s theme for the MLK Symposium – “Power\, Justice\, Love: Heal the Divide.” This event will provide an opportunity for students to voice their opinion and express their thoughts on the divides they witness in the campus community and how we go about working through the conflict that often results. Our aim is to create a safe place for students of different backgrounds to learn from each other and consider available options for addressing or healing the divide in moments of conflict. Special attention will be paid to tangible action steps we can take as individuals and as a community as a result of our time together. And as an additional bonus\, a light dinner will be provided!

Since 2007\, when the group formed\, they have been playing music that is consistently as catchy as it is heartfelt. Organically grown around the songs of lead singer Amanda Anne Platt\, the band has gained an audience that has stretched far beyond their mountain home to include all corners of the United States. Platt's voice has been described as “perfectly unadorned” and “recklessly beautiful.\" Despite her love for classic country\, she cites Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty as major influences and her songwriting carries a wit and an edge that plants her firmly in her generation. Since the release of their first studio album in 2009\, The Honeycutters have shared the stage with such Americana greats as Guy Clark\, Tony Rice\, The Seldom Scene\, Ray Wylie Hubbard\, Donna The Buffalo\, Jill Andrews\, and The Steep Canyon Rangers. \"I can see a day when her name is mentioned alongside Lucinda Williams\, Mary Gauthier and Gillian Welch\,\" says The Real Southern of Platt's songs. \"She’s just that good.”\n UID:15681-1196126@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15681 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,the ark,the honeycutters LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S Main Street, Ann Arbor, MI CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
