Come and see crystals from the Museum of Natural History\, books from the Library's collection\, and displays of the equipment used at the X-Ray Crystallography Lab.\n\nUNESCO chose 2014 as the International year of Crystallography because it commemorates two important anniversaries in the study of matter: the centennial of X-ray diffraction\, and the 400th anniversary of Kepler’s observation in 1611 of the symmetrical form of ice crystals. Both breakthroughs led to subsequent studies in the role of symmetry in matter and the nature of crystalline material. U-M continues this investigation today.\n UID:17714-1203623@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17714 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:library,museum of natural history LOCATION:Shapiro Library - Third Floor Hallway CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141101T120022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141102T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141101T180000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Great Lakes Regionals 2014 DESCRIPTION:Great Lakes regionals hosted by NIRCA in Lexington\, KY UID:19682-1242822@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19682 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Lexington, KY CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141102T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141102T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141102T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Head of the Hooch DESCRIPTION:Head of the Hooch UID:18307-1243647@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/18307 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Belleville, MI CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141102T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141102T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141102T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Head of the Huron DESCRIPTION:Head of the Huron UID:18308-1243465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/18308 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Ypsilanti, MI CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141220T060005 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141102T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141102T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Insanity with REVIVE DESCRIPTION:Are you up to the challenge?

Her current work focuses on birdpants and formal wear of the forest – tiny pants for birds and frogs\, and dapper suits for squirrels that “could be for backyard visitors who are fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.” She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce her highly detailed – and decidedly nontraditional – confections. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Berkman's photography has a painterly quality due to his use of light. True to the definition of photography\, he sees his work as writing\, drawing or painting with light\, transforming the elements of subject\, color and shape into compositions. Appreciating that a photograph captures a fleeting moment in time\, he uses light to create emotional moods and bring his images to life.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\, and Institute for the Humanities.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Credit Union and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960–2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them. As opposed to male practitioners who favored oversized works with grandiose themes\, women Minimalist took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative. Join UMMA docents as they explore this take on the Minimalist heritage.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

Hovannisian\, professor emeritus of history\, University of California\, Los Angeles\n\nSeptember\, 2012 marked the 90th anniversary of the Smyrna Catastrophe when much of the city\, the second largest in the Ottoman Empire\, was destroyed by fire four days after the Turkish army had occupied the city. The calamity\, a part of the final phase of the Armenian Genocide\, marked the end of a strong Christian presence in the historic Aegean coastal regions and turned hundreds of thousands of Greeks and Armenians into refugees. In this illustrated lecture\, Prof. Richard Hovannisian will discuss the important role of Smyrna (Izmir) in modern Armenian history and the inferno that engulfed the city in September 1922.\n\nProfessor Richard G. Hovannisian is the first holder of the Armenian Educational Foundation Chair in Modern Armenian History at UCLA\, and Professor Emeritus\, Department of History\, UCLA. He currently serves as Distinguished Chancellor’s Fellow at Chapman University in Orange County. He is the author of numerous books including the four-volume history The Republic of Armenia. He is the editor of Armenian Smyrna/Izmir\, the eleventh volume of proceedings from the UCLA conference series “Historic Armenian Cities and Provinces.” He also traveled to Izmir and environs in June 2012 as the historian-guide for an Armenian Heritage Tour led by Armen Aroyan.

In particular\, one has to think about not just a single method\, but a whole collection of algorithms: a single code may utilize fully adaptive\, unstructured meshes\; nonlinear\, globalized solvers\; algebraic multigrid and block preconditioners\; and do all this on 1\,000 processors or more with realistic material models.\n\nCodes at this level of complexity can no longer be written from scratch. However\, over the past decade\, many high quality libraries have been developed that make writing advanced computational software simpler. In this talk\, I will briefly introduce the deal.II finite element library (http://www.dealii.org) whose development I lead and show how it has enabled us to develop the ASPECT code (http://aspect.dealii.org) for simulation of convection in the earth mantle. I will discuss some of the results obtained with this code and comment on the lessons learned from developing this massively parallel code for the solution of a complex problem.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Wolfgang Bangerth is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University. He obtained a Ph.D from the University of Heidelberg. He is principal author of deal.II\, a finite element software library written in C++\, which is used by several hundred researchers around the world and is part of the computing industry standard SPEC CPU2006 benchmark. He is also principal author of ASPECT\, and open source code for thermal convection with primary application to the simulation of convention in the Earth’s mantle.

Kennedy\, Lyndon B. Johnson appointed a seven-member commission to investigate the assassination. In its report\, the Warren Commission determined that there was “no credible evidence” conflicting with its conclusion of a lone gunman. \n\nArtist Ernie Colón\, bestselling illustrator of The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation\, teams up with artist Jerzy Drozd and author Dan Mishkin to provide a unique means of testing the commission’s findings\, unraveling conflicting narratives side by side through graphic-novel techniques. The Warren Commission Report: A Graphic Investigation into the Kennedy Assassination breaks down how decisions in the days that followed the assassination not only shaped how the commission reconstructed events but also helped foster the conspiracy theories that play a part in American politics to this day.\n\nBook sales provided for the event by Vault of Midnight.

Pensado\, Jorge Nájera Godínez\; Moderator: Jason De León\n\nOn September 26th\, 2014\, a local police from the state of Guerrero opened fire against a group of students from the Rural Training School of Ayotzinapa. Forty-three students disappeared after having been forcefully taken away in police cars. Today\, the whereabouts of the forty-three students are still unknown and over a dozen mass graves have been found in Guerrero and other nearby states. A massive social movement has emerged as a direct result. Young students have taken a leading role in this movement. Not only have they exposed the corruption and weakness of the state\, but they have also demanded a safer and more democratic Mexico.\n\nJournalists and intellectuals have made numerous comparisons between this latest horrific attack against Mexico’s youth and the events that unfolded in 1968 in the nation’s capital at the Plaza of Tlatelolco\, where an undetermined number of students lost their lives at the hands of Mexican authorities.\n \nThis talk will use images from the sixties and today to illustrate some historical parallels but also clear contrasts between the 1968 and 2014 student movements in Mexico.\n\nThe event will be live-streamed at ii.umich.edu/lacs.

Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult.

Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others.

Called “thought reform” (思想改造 sixiang gaizao) in China and “brainwashing” in the U.S.\, the reeducation project may or may not have turned individuals into communists. There is no doubt\, however\, that the project\, as envisioned by its orchestrators and their critics\, led many people\, in China and elsewhere\, to radically rethink the nature and potential violability of their innermost thoughts. This talk uses formerly classified and newly available archival materials on the reeducation project as it was carried out in multiple places – institutions for the lumpen proletariat\, prisons for intellectuals\, and POW camps – to delve into what this project meant to those who participated in it\, as reeducators and reeducatees.\n\nAminda Smith is Associate Professor of History at Michigan State University. The author of Thought Reform and the Dangerous Classes: Reeducation\, Resistance\, and the People (Rowman and Littlefield\, 2013)\, she has a particular interest in the social and cultural history of Chinese communism.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

This increase has important implications for local government’s financial capacity to provide quality services to citizens. This talk will provide an overview of the major revenues and service demands (i.e.\, costs) associated with new oil and gas development for local governments\, along with the net fiscal impact to date for county and municipal governments across ten oil and gas plays in eight states: Arkansas\, Colorado\, Louisiana\, Montana\, North Dakota\, Pennsylvania\, Texas\, and Wyoming. Research was conducted over the previous year through on-site structured interviews with over 100 local officials\, analysis of state and local revenue policies\, and analysis of local government financial data.\n\n\nDaniel Raimi is an Associate in Research at the Duke University Energy Initiative. He works on a range of energy policy issues including the public finance effects of unconventional oil and gas production\, state fiscal policy design for oil and gas production\, the climate implications of shale gas development\, and federal climate policy design. He has published in academic journals including Science\, Environmental Science and Technology\, and Journal of Economic Perspectives\, and made numerous presentations for policymakers\, industry and other stakeholders around the United States.

These exhibitions were part of a larger effort to rewrite local experience\, and the local landscape\, in the universal language of Chinese Marxism and in the artistic style of socialist realism. Local exhibitions were one concrete form of cultural work that used tangible local detail—local speech\, local diet\, local forms of agriculture or industrial production—to show that local lives and local experiences conformed to the truths of Marxism\, and to the universal history of the Chinese nation.\n\nIn Gejiu\, a tin-mining town in southern Yunnan\, cultural workers in the 1970s created an Exhibition on the History of Class Struggle in the Gejiu Tin Mines and a Recollect Bitterness Center. These joint exhibitions became the premier “classrooms” for class education in Yunnan province\, instructing as many as a thousand visitors a day. During the 1950s\, cultural workers in Gejiu had authenticated the local truth of Chinese Marxist history by displaying personal stories of capitalist exploitation\, rags worn by miners in the inhumane “old society\,” and drawings of worker uprisings. The exhibitions they created during the Cultural Revolution added historical reenactment as a new technique of political instruction. Historical reenactment primarily took the form of yiku (“recollecting bitterness”)\, narratives about oppression and liberation recited by the elderly. The practice of yiku invoked the older\, powerful practice of suku (“venting grievances”)\, a method of class struggle during the land reforms of the 1940s and 1950s. Written renditions and live performances of yiku featured prominently in class education exhibitions\, amplified by artwork and the display of pre-liberation artifacts. This historical reenactment enjoined visitors to “learn through experience” (tihui) the exploitation\, oppression\, revolt\, and liberation of the Chinese proletariat. The Recollect Bitterness Center even recreated the very time and space of the narrated events. Crawling through an old mine shaft and emerging upright into the light\, visitors to the Center performed the metaphorical choreography of emancipation and its structure of historical memory. This instilment of perceptual knowledge about the nature of classes and the meaning of proletarian revolution produced an embodied understanding of Chinese Marxist history\, interpolated new political subjects\, and incited socialist construction. \n\nLara Kusnetzky is a lecturer in the Department of Classical and Modern Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures at Wayne State University.

As the 2014 guest lecturer\, Ms. Walker will explore social justice issues from her unique womanist and black feminist perspective. Bringing scholarship and activism together\, Ms. Walker will also reflect on the complimentary missions of DAAS and CEW.\n\nThe Zora Neale Hurston Lecture at the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies honors Hurston\, the most prolific African-American woman writer of her time\, who brought to life the power\, richness and complexity of black cultures for many readers. \n\nAlice Walker is a internationally celebrated award-winning author\, poet and activist whose books include seven novels\, four collections of short stories\, four children’s books\, and volumes of essays and poetry. Her work has been translated into more than two dozen languages\, and her books have sold more than fifteen million copies. Walker is best known for The Color Purple\, the 1983 novel for which she won the Pulitzer Prize—the first African American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction\, though (in her opinion) not the first African American woman to deserve it.\n\nAlong with the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award\, Walker’s awards and fellowships include a Guggenheim Fellowship and artist-in-residence at Yaddo and the McDowell Colony. In 2006\, she was honored as one of the inaugural inductees into the California Hall of Fame. In 2007\, her archives were opened to the public at Emory University.

Forced to fend for themselves in the aftermath of fires that swept entire cities from the face of the earth\, their doomed struggle is both a tribute to the human spirit and the stuff of nightmares. Beautiful\, yet at times brutal and horrifying.\n\nThis Fall\, in partnership with The State Theatre\, CJS celebrates some of the greatest and most influential films of all time from the legendary Japanese animation team at Studio Ghibli.\n\nDirected by Isao Takahata.\n1988. 89 minutes.

In this talk\, Brophy will overview current policy that has reinvigorated interest in assessment of music learning\, the development of state and national music assessment systems\, present recommended design characteristics of high-quality music assessments\, and discuss measurement issues that must be addressed to ensure that assessment results are appropriate for their intended uses.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund.

Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

She received her PhD in Japanese Art History from UCLA. Her scholarly interests range from ninth-century Buddhist sculpture to nineteenth-century Japanese prints. Among her publications is Muroji: Rearranging Art and History at a Japanese Buddhist Temple. She is finishing a book on the images of the Six Kannon cult in Japan.\n\nAbstract:\n\nBy the sixteenth century\, many temples in Japan were organized into different thirty-three stop pilgrimage routes with a central icon of Kannon to which pilgrims directed their prayers. Modest print reproductions of these icons were available to pilgrims in order to help them attain personal connections with particular icons. In addition to the prints of sacred images sold at the sites\, illustrated stories that touted the benefits of a particular Kannon were also widely published as popular prints. This talk will consider the role that prints play in mediating pilgrimage experience\, with a focus on prints that target women.

Likewise\, the relationships between microbial community assembly\, biodiversity and ecosystem function are poorly understood. Here\, I present a hypothesis describing a potential role for community assembly processes in microbial function\, highlighting the potential importance of stochastic processes in decoupling the environment from processes of interest. I will then present data from empirical work\, a metaanalysis and mathematical modeling to address three fundamental questions for assembly-biodiversity-function relationships: 1. What forces guide microbial community assembly? 2. Does microbial community structure matter for ecosystem function? 3. Do different assembly processes lead to different relationships between structure and function? Our work shows that both deterministic and stochastic processes are important for structuring soil bacterial communities during primary succession and after a major disturbance event. As well\, our large metaanalysis reveals that data on functional components of microbial community composition can significantly improve models of ecosystem function based on environmental parameters alone. Finally\, results from simulations using a combined community assembly-ecosystem function model demonstrate that stochastic processes can change the shape of biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships. Together\, these data provide a testable framework for where\, when and why microbial community assembly processes may matter for predictions of ecosystem function.\n\nDiana Nemergut is an Associate Professor\, INSTAAR / University of Colorado\, Boulder\; Department of Biology\, Duke University UID:19393-1225630@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19393 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141006T140719 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T183000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Vaccines past\, present\, and future DESCRIPTION:MAC-EPID's Fall symposium is honoring the indelible life and work of Dr. Hunein F. \"John\" Maassab.  A member of the U of M for 40 years he is best known for developing the flu vaccine we call FluMist.\nBring your unique perspective and join our distinguished speakers to discuss the history and the future of vaccines.\nNovember 6 & 7\, 2014\nM1020 SPH2\nFor more information and registration for this FREE event:\nhttps://sites.google.com/a/umich.edu/mac-epid/events/symposia/current-symposium\nAnna Cronenwett weaverd@umich.edu UID:19440-1227740@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19440 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,History,Medicine,Nursing,Pre Med,Public Health,Rackham,Research,Science LOCATION:Public Health II - M1020 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140818T132330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T183000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Creating a Dynamic Social Media Profile Series #2 DESCRIPTION:Please go here to register: http://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/creating-dynamic-social-media-profile-series-2/20140815\n\nPresenter: Leslie McGraw\, B.A.\, Multimedia Content Strategist & Owner of Les Go Social Media Marketing & Training\n\nThis workshop is the second in a three-part series which will teach you which social media sites and apps make the best sense to integrate into your professional development plan.

From 1984 to 2000\, she photographed primarily in the rural area of Balvi and\, later on\, increasingly in the capital of Riga. In the series \"People I happened to meet\"\, she strikes up conversations with unknown people in order to ask them for a portrait. In \"Amalias Street 5\"\, she focused on the inhabitants of an apartment complex in Riga. Her photographs have been shown at the 48th Biennale of Venice\, the Photography Centre in Istanbul and the Barbican Arts Centre in London.\n\nWith support from the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies\; the Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\; the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and the River Gallery.\n\nFilm Screenings\n\nTwo special film screenings will coincide with Inta Ruka's visit: Photographer from Riga\, a documentary profile of Ruka\, screens at 7:00 pm\, Tuesday\, November 4 at UMMA\; and Road's End\, a documentary about one of Ruka's subjects\, screens at 7:30 pm\, Thursday\, November 6 after Ruka's lecture at the Michigan Theater.\n\nPhotographer from Riga\n7:00 pm Tuesday\, November 4 at UMMA (Helmut Stern Auditorium)\nInta Ruka is one of Europe’s most noteworthy documentary photographers. For thirty years she has taken hauntingly beautiful portraits of the faces of Latvia. In this documentary\, Swedish filmmaker Maud Nycander portrays her friend and colleague who\, despite her renown\, still works as a cleaner at the Swedish embassy in Riga. The documentary also depicts a country in the throes of dramatic change.\n\nRoad's End\n7:30 pm\, Thursday\, November 6 at the Michigan Theater\nSwedish filmmaker Maud Nycander collaborated with Inta Ruka on this documentary film that follows the life of Daina\, the protagonist in Ruka’s photograph \"Edgars\, Iveta\, Daina Tavari\"\, and her dog\, George Bush. Daina lives in a poor rural area in eastern Latvia\, near the Russian border\, two miles from the nearest road\, with no electricity or running water. The roof has collapsed. She is completely dependent upon herself in order to cope with her everyday life. Daina’s children have both emigrated\, her son to Norway and her daughter to Italy. When she feels lonely\, she goes to her dead husband's grave and sits there talking with him as if he were still alive. Road’s End is a both poetic and existential film about choices we make in life\, about obstinacy\, love and betrayal.\n\nWith support from the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies\; the Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\; the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and the River Gallery UID:18973-1218178@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/18973 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141113T120010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Justice for Ayotzinapa DESCRIPTION:Signatures will be collected by SWAIR and Latino Social Work Coalition Members from November 6\, 2014 to November 13\, 2014.  UID:19887-1251807@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19887 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:None CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141113T120010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Justice for Ayotzinapa DESCRIPTION:Signatures will be collected by SWAIR and Latino Social Work Coalition Members from November 6\, 2014 to November 13\, 2014.  UID:19888-1251815@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19888 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:None CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141206T183013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141106T193000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Workshop: Exploring Nonprofit Careers Panel DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in working in the nonprofit sector?

Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Existing scholarship on the period has focused on its political and economic dimensions\, and given rise to such influential concepts as “developmental dictatorship” (kaebal tokchae) and “mass dictatorship” (taejung tokchae).\n\nMoving beyond the era’s political economy\, the conference on “Cultures of Yushin” seeks to explore the remarkably rich and varied cultural production of the Yushin period in its dynamic\, and often ambivalent\, relationship to state power. Cultural production is broadly conceived to include literature\, film\, television\, theater\, music\, art\, architecture\, animation\, comics\, advertising\, fashion\, and sports. We welcome innovative research that complicates familiar terms of opposition between coercion and consent\, collaboration and resistance\, and high art and popular culture.\n\n“Cultures of Yushin” is the fourth annual conference on contemporary Korea sponsored by the Academy of Korean Studies and the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan. Previous conferences in the series have examined the phenomenon of Hallyu in the age of social media\, transgressive practices in Korean society\, and the politics of sports. Kicking off a two-day event devoted to the decade of the 1970s\, the conference will be followed by an international workshop on the legacies of major public intellectuals of the 1970s\, including Ham Sok-hon\, Paik Nak-chung\, Ri Yong-hui\, Kang Man-gil\, Shin Il-yong\, and An Pyong-mu. The workshop will be led by historians\, literary critics\, and sociologists from the United States\, Japan\, and Korea.\n\nPapers presented at “Cultures of Yushin” conference will be considered for inclusion in a peer-reviewed\, edited volume of the same title to be published by the University of Michigan Press\, as part of Perspectives on Contemporary Korea series. Selected participants will be asked to submit complete papers by September 30\, 2014.\n\nConference organizers: Youngju Ryu and Nojin Kwak (University of Michigan)\n\nPhoto credit: Card Stunt for Park Chung-hee\nBaek\, Jong-sik \, CC BY-SA 2.5\nhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Card_Stunt_for_Park_Chung-hee.jpg UID:17652-1202971@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17652 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:korea LOCATION:Palmer Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141008T090913 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141107T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141107T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Fall Symposium: The Global Indigenous Peoples Movement DESCRIPTION:Welcoming Remarks (9:00 AM-9:15 AM):\nPauline Jones Luong\, Director of the International Institute and professor of Political Science U-M\, and Kelly Askew\, Director of the African Studies Center and associate professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican/African Studies U-M \n\n \nSession 1 (9:15 AM-10:30 AM):\n\"How the Subaltern Took Agency in the United Nations\"\n\nJens Dahl\, University of Copenhagen\n\nDiscussants: Bruce Mannheim\, Department of Anthropology U-M\, and Kiyoteru Tsutsui\, Department of Sociology and Director of Human Rights Initiative U-M\n\n\nSession 2 (10:45 AM-12:00 PM):\n\"Culture and the Politics of Indigenous Transnationalism\"\n\nShari Huhndorf\, University of California\, Berkeley\n\nDiscussants: David Porter\, professor of Comparative Literature and English U-M\, and Scott Lyons\, Associate Professor of English and American Culture\, and Director\, Native American Studies Program U-M\n\nSession 3 (1:00 PM- 2:15 PM):\n\"Global Indigenous Peoples Movement: It’s Stirring in India\"\n\nVirginius Xaxa\, Tata Institute of Social Sciences\n\nDiscussants: Richard Tucker\, Adjunct Professor of History and Natural Resources and the Environment U-M\, and Rebecca Hardin\, Associate Professor\, School of Natural Resources and the Environment U-M\n\n \nSession 4 (2:30 PM - 3:45 PM):\n\"Emerging Constitutional Indigenous Peoples' Land Rights in Tanzania\"\n\nKennedy Gastorn\, University of Dar es Salaam\, Tanzania\n\nDiscussants: Daniel Halberstam\, Eric Stein Collegiate Professor of Law and Director\, European Legal Studies Program U-M\, and Kelly Askew\, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican/African Studies\, and Director\, African Studies Center U-M\n\n \nSession 5 (4:00 PM-5:15PM):\n\"The Ongoing Indigenous Political Enterprise: What’s Law Got to Do with It?\"\n\nDalee Sambo Dorough\, University of Alaska Anchorage\n\nDiscussants: Monica Hakimi\, Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Programming\, Law School U-M\, and Philip Deloria\, Carroll Smith-Rosenberg Collegiate Professor of History and American Culture\, and LSA Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education U-M\n\n \n\nClosing Remarks (5:15PM-5:30PM):\nScott Lyons\, Director\, Native American Studies and Associate Professor of English and American Culture U-M UID:19482-1228651@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19482 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,African American,Anthropology,Discussion,International,Native American LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141030T123200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20141107T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20141107T144500 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Russian Imperial Legacies Symposium DESCRIPTION:This symposium will examine the diverse lasting effects of the Russian imperial rule on Jewish social\, cultural and intellectual life both within and outside the Soviet Union.

The first\, Vietnamerica\, is an exhibition of images from the author's graphic memoir of the same name\, a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention\, and of the fit of the American immigrants' dream\, passed on from immigrants to their children. In tellin his family story\, Tran finds his own place in this sage of hardship and heroism.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.

See below for details on the related exhibition in the Common Room.\n\nNote: The Common Room is open M-F 9am-5pm.\n\nWe are thrilled to introduce our exciting new Pop-Up exhibition series in the Osterman Common Room (#1022) featuring short (approx. 2 weeks) exhibitions of innovative\, thought-provoking work by artists from around the country. The first\, Vietnamerica\, features work from GB Tran's graphic memoir of the same name.\n\nAbout GB Tran and Vietnamerica: GB Tran is a young Vietnamese American artist who grew up distant from (and largely indifferent to) his family’s history. Born and raised in South Carolina as a son of immigrants\, he knew that his parents had fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. But even as they struggled to adapt to life in America\, they preferred to forget the past—and to focus on their children’s future. It was only in his late twenties that GB began to learn their extraordinary story. When his last surviving grandparents die within months of each other\, GB visits Vietnam for the first time and begins to learn the tragic history of his family\, and of the homeland they left behind.\n\nIn this family saga played out in the shadow of history\, GB uncovers the root of his father’s remoteness and why his mother had remained in an often fractious marriage\; why his grandfather had abandoned his own family to fight for the Viet Cong\; why his grandmother had had an affair with a French soldier. GB learns that his parents had taken harrowing flight from Saigon during the final hours of the war not because they thought America was better but because they were afraid of what would happen if they stayed. They entered America—a foreign land they couldn’t even imagine—where family connections dissolved and shared history was lost within a span of a single generation.\n\nIn telling his family’s story\, GB finds his own place in this saga of hardship and heroism. Vietnamerica is a visually stunning portrait of survival\, escape\, and reinvention—and of the gift of the American immigrants’ dream\, passed on to their children. Vietnamerica is an unforgettable story of family revelation and reconnection—and a new graphic-memoir classic.

Conceived in the 1950s by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret\, Chandigarh’s controversial modernist architecture includes original pieces of furniture created specifically for the building’s interiors. Recently these pieces have appeared at auction houses around the world\, commanding record prices. Starting with Chandigarh furniture in the present\, the film begins in New York apartments\, London townhouses\, Belgian villas\, and Paris salons of avid collectors. From there\, it moves backward to the furniture’s sale at auction\, preview exhibitions\, and photography for auction catalogues\, to restoration\, cargo shipping containers\, and Indian ports—ending finally in Chandigarh\, a city in a state of entropy. \n\n On October 19\, 2013\, Siegel auctioned Provenance at Christie’s in London\, turning the film into another object at auction\, inseparable from the market it depicts. Lot 248\, a second film\, captures the auction of Provenance\, becoming a mirror of the first\, repeating and completing the circuit of design and art that define speculative markets.\n\nAmie Siegel was born in 1974 in Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1\, Walker Art Center\, Hayward Gallery\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, KW Berlin\, ICA Boston\, and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Screenings include Cannes Film Festival\, Berlin Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, The Museum of Modern Art\, The National Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard Film Archive\, among many other museums and cinematheques. She has been a fellow of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Film Study Center at Harvard University\, as well as a recipient of the ICA Bostonʼs Foster Prize and\, most recently\, a Sundance Institute Film Fund award for Provenance.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The paper’s front page records in the present tense what will eventually become history. It orients our attention to pressing actions\, be they individual\, political\, or natural\, that over time repeat and rearrange into patterns around common human motivations. Fred Tomaselli‘s The Times traffics in these patterns\, reflecting and reinventing them through complexly layered collages superimposed on recent cover stories in The New York Times. The collages surface unseen connections\, rearrange realities\, and reveal relationships of images and ideas across time and space.\n\nTomaselli uses images within the familiar grid of the front page as portals\, overwriting and manipulating the supposed objective reality of the newspaper with his completely subjective surreality. His interventions play against the detachment of journalistic forms\, inserting emotion\, fantasy\, and absurdity to counterpoint or underscore the original narrative. Tomaselli says these works “freeze time\,” trapping inherently ephemeral events and images like flies in amber. But in aggregate this act also reimagines time\, linking images and actions of a chosen day to their counterparts in the past and in some projected future.\n\nThe Times grew from Tomaselli’s own doodlings of personal commentary while reading\, eventually spurring him to marry his “news junkie” habit with his studio practice. The series runs the gamut from hard-edged abstraction to hallucinatory pattern play\, and engages in a dialogue with art historical imagery and themes\, refracted through present-day news images.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of American Culture\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Penny W.

Paramodel works in a variety of media\, including painting\, sculpture\, video\, and photography\, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of “play” intersecting with the real world. For UMMA’s exhibition\, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series\, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery\, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space\, media\, and art production\, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street\; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object\; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls “paradoxes.”\n\nThough they’ve shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years\, this marks Paramodel’s first solo exhibition of work in the United States.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the President\, Office of the Provost\, and Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, and the E.

Reductive Minimalism: Women Artists in Dialogue\, 1960-2014 offers a fresh perspective on the movement and its evolution\, bringing together formative works from two generations of women Minimalist painters to examine and celebrate the dialogue between them.\n\nMinimalism was born in the late 1950s as a reaction to the perceived hubris and theatricality of Abstract Expressionism. But though its most prominent\, mostly male\, practitioners favored an aesthetic of clean geometry and essential forms\, the hubris remained—in oversized works with grandiose themes. Women Minimalist painters\, however\, took a more restrained or reductive approach\, one more intimate in scale\, more personal in narrative\, and more open-ended in its experimentation with pure surface\, color\, and texture.\n\nMany of these women—Agnes Martin and Mary Corse among them—worked outside the New York art world and outside the critical discourse that would have offered them support and recognition. Gender politics\, though not necessarily the impetus for their work\, played a role in the circumstances of where and how they practiced. In spite of their relative isolation\, their work had a profound influence on the current generation of women minimalist painters—including Tauba Auerbach and R.H. Quaytman—who have global exposure and who are celebrated in a varied and robust critical environment. In the gallery\, Reductive Minimalism traces the conversation between these two generations in an installation of nine pairs of paintings\, to reveal the call-and-response of their artistic symbiosis.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, Elaine Pitt\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund\, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.

Rosen Collection DESCRIPTION:Each of the works in Suspended Moments: Photographs from the David S. Rosen Collection offers insights into an interior world\, most glimpsed from the vantage point of a child or young adult. The exhibition—featuring photographs of children at various stages\, particularly those difficult years that chart the transition from childhood to adulthood—includes images that were clearly very closely related to the research interests of the collector\, Dr. David S. Rosen. Rosen was a physician on the staff of the University of Michigan Medical School\, and a pediatrician with a specialization in adolescent medicine. He was a dedicated collector as well as a practicing photographer. In addition to Rosen’s own photographs of young adults and children\, the exhibition also features the works of other photographers known for their images of childhood\, including Sally Mann\, Dawoud Bey\, and Helen Levitt\, among others. The exhibition\, organized in tribute to Rosen as an educator and artist\, also examines the doctor’s vision as a collector\, in works by landscape and still life photographers such as Ansel Adams\, Michael Kenna\, Howard Bond\, and Billie Mercer. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Health System.
