She had a sock full of silver dimes and quarters and a set of sterling forks and spoons. In her apartment kitchen\, she soldered together tiny\, durable compositions that conveyed stories or visual puns\, and her narrative style emerged. Her work\, often representational\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. An Ann Arbor native\, she has strong family connections to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). She is the daughter of Edgar Kahn\, M.D.\, who headed the U-M Michigan Department of Neurosurgery from 1949-1969 and developed an early art cart program for patients\, and granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn\, whose firm designed both the 1925 beloved “Old Main” Hospital as well as the current University Hospital and Hill Auditorium\, among others. Her mother\, Dr. Rose Parker\, was in internal medicine and her sister\, Carol Rose Kahn\, R.N.\, currently works at UMHS. Lehndorff lives and has her studio in northeastern Michigan.

Thomson\, watercolor in any form comes from both a love of nature and a desire for self-expression. Chinese Sumi painting reinterprets nature in an abstract manner that is similar to the art of calligraphy. Thomson holds a BFA from Syracuse University and for many years exhibited widely from her home studio in St. Michaels\, Maryland. She currently resides in Oakland County.

McGhee’s sculptures are incredible simply for the fact that they can balance and withstand their own weight\, but she also has an unusual way of playing with negative and positive space and a sinuous use of line. This works together to create delicate\, whimsical\, graceful works of art that seem to defy physics. McGhee was born and raised in Alaska and moved to the Midwest with her family in 2002\, where she developed her artistic career.

Inspired by elements of nature\, she works spontaneously\, beginning with a concept\, idea or image that involves starting points of color\, shape and line. As the work develops\, she responds to each level of these elements intuitively\, applying many textural layers of paint. Schwartz’ work is exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout the US. She is based in Ann Arbor\, and is part owner of WSG Gallery on Main Street\, where she regularly exhibits.

As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will run from January 20 - February 27.\nAn exhibition of visual research by architect Mathias Heyden and artist Ines Schaber. Focusing on the work of seven U.S.-based community design architects and planners and their projects\, the exhibition presents the findings of a multi-year research project funded by the Graham Foundation. Rarely documented and not yet comprehensively researched\, the participatory design movement—a socially engaged architecture and planning practice that cultivates citizen involvement and empowerment—began in the 1960s and grew out of a common concern to democratize design by actively involving all stakeholders. Thousands of projects have been realized throughout the U.S. in the past 50 years by community design centers and professionals who advocated for those without representation in the development process. Recording the history of the work of these pioneering practitioners is crucial as a new generation of architects and planners begin to re-imagine contemporary public interest design.

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.

Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe Infra Eco Logi Urbanism exhibition posits an approach and a vision for architecture at the urban scale within the contemporary post-metropolitan condition. The project assembles a multi-year investigation that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America\, and a develops a design proposition to leverage energy and mobility infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends\, addressing questions of politics and urban society.\nThe exhibition is organized as a territory\, gathering a diverse body of work including regional cartographies\, network analyses\, historical research\, writings\, photographs\, design drawings and physical models. In aggregate\, it presents a position from which to apprehend urban questions\, a vision\, a design methodology that operates across scales from the regional to the specific\, and an event around which to discuss regional systems and the role of design in figuring their futures.\nInfra Eco Logi Urbanism is a project\, exhibition and forthcoming publication by RVTR\, a research-based design practice founded by U-M Taubman College architecture associate professor Geoffrey Thün and assistant professor Kathy Velikov\, and Ryerson University architecture chair Colin Ripley. The exhibition was previously on display at Yale University. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\" UID:20743-1314910@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/20743 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Exhibition,Storytelling,Women's Studies,Writing LOCATION:202 S.

They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

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.

The cost of this incomplete treatment response is high given associated distress and impairment as well as the increased risk for negative long-term outcomes. This presentation will describe recent advances in the cognitive and behavioral understanding of anxiety and their practical application to enhancing the effectiveness of current approaches.\n\nAbout the Lecturer:\n\nDr. John Piacentini is Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the UCLA School of Medicine and Director of the Child OCD\, Anxiety\, and Tic Disorders Program at the UCLA Semel Institute. In addition\, he is Chief of Child Psychology for the Semel Institute Medical Psychology Program and Chair of the UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Dr. Piacentini’s research\, teaching\, and clinical work focus on the development\, evaluation\, and implementation of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and other effective treatments\, including medication\, for children with OCD\, other anxiety disorders\, tic disorders and trichotillomania.

No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\" UID:20743-1314911@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/20743 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Exhibition,Storytelling,Women's Studies,Writing LOCATION:202 S.

They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

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.

Interestingly\, while such art books were firmly rooted in the middle-class public in China\, most pictorial and literary evidence\, however\, tells us that these same books were used exclusively by highly positioned artists and critics in early modern Korea. Based on this disparity of readership\, this paper argues that inequalities in cultural exchange and communication between early modern China and Korea unexpectedly created an interesting case in which mis-information gave rise to a new source of artistic inspiration.\n\nJ.P. Park teaches at the University of California\, Riverside. He is the author of Art by the Book: Painting Manuals and the Leisure Life in Late Ming China and Keeping It Real!: Korean Artists in the Age of Multi-Media Representation in addition to a series of articles on Chinese and Korean art. He is currently completing a book on early modern Korean art and literature\, titled A New Middle Kingdom: Paintings and Cultural Politics in Late Choson Korea (1650–1850).

State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life. It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years. But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic. He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares. Since then\, these images have been with me. Fascination? Yes. Revulsion? That\, too. It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself. All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis. “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential. The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

Kelsey wrote\, “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor\,” no record of these Christian communities would remain.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918. Two Armenian manuscripts that were purchased as a consequence of the expedition are on display.\n\nLecture and opening reception will take place at 4 p.m. on January 14 in the Hatcher Library Gallery\, adjacent to the exhibit.\n\nExhibit materials are courtesy of the Bentley Historical Library and U-M Library Special Collections.

And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\" UID:20743-1314912@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/20743 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Exhibition,Storytelling,Women's Studies,Writing LOCATION:202 S.

They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

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.

Modern mobile computing platforms\, however\, now make it possible to create highly interactive\, hands-on\, and personalized learning tools that are ideal for working with the compact textual forms of Tang dynasty poems.\nThis presentation will consist of two parts. First will be presented the results of a character usage frequency analysis of the entire corpus of Tang poetry and demonstrate its usefulness in assembling an ordered sequence of relatively simple and accessible poems for teaching purposes. Second\, Professor Porter will demonstrate a series of mobile-based Chinese language learning tools for presenting these poems to students of Chinese. In combination\, these tools can help even an early-stage student move from a first introduction to a multi-modal mastery of short\, deeply evocative poems\, providing the student with both an intimate glance into the workings of Chinese poetic language as well as great personal satisfaction.

State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life. It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years. But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic. He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares. Since then\, these images have been with me. Fascination? Yes. Revulsion? That\, too. It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself. All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis. “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential. The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

I will also discuss the sudden massive blooms of bryozoa (Pectinatella magnifica) that occurred after the weir construction and eco-toxicity tests. Water residence time increased in the rivers after the constructions of the weirs\, and areas with stagnant-water (relative to running water) increased. Nutrients of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in epilimnetic water decreased after the project\, whereas chlorophyll-a (CHL) and CHL:TP ratios increased. Massive algal blooms occurred frequently in the rivers and decreased DO near the weirs\, resulting in massive fish kills. In addition\, fish passage in the fish way and weirs were monitored by various fish monitoring methodologies (passive integrated transponders (PITs) tags\, ultrasonic telemetry\, video recording\, trap-setting\, and eco-sounder monitoring) and evaluated. Finally\, I assessed the overall river ecosystem health\, based on the multi-metric model of “Index of Biological Integrity” using fish assemblages\, both before and after the completion of the project\; its appears river health declined after the construction of the project weirs. These are preliminary results based on a very limited dataset and a short post project study period\, but will I hope\, contribute to the ecological conservation of our national rivers in Korea.

No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\" UID:20743-1314913@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/20743 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Exhibition,Storytelling,Women's Studies,Writing LOCATION:202 S.

They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

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.

But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic. He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares. Since then\, these images have been with me. Fascination? Yes. Revulsion? That\, too. It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself. All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis. “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential. The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe Infra Eco Logi Urbanism exhibition posits an approach and a vision for architecture at the urban scale within the contemporary post-metropolitan condition. The project assembles a multi-year investigation that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America\, and a develops a design proposition to leverage energy and mobility infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends\, addressing questions of politics and urban society.\nThe exhibition is organized as a territory\, gathering a diverse body of work including regional cartographies\, network analyses\, historical research\, writings\, photographs\, design drawings and physical models. In aggregate\, it presents a position from which to apprehend urban questions\, a vision\, a design methodology that operates across scales from the regional to the specific\, and an event around which to discuss regional systems and the role of design in figuring their futures.\nInfra Eco Logi Urbanism is a project\, exhibition and forthcoming publication by RVTR\, a research-based design practice founded by U-M Taubman College architecture associate professor Geoffrey Thün and assistant professor Kathy Velikov\, and Ryerson University architecture chair Colin Ripley.

From the Christmas release of the movie \"The Interview\" to the Charlie Hebdo attack\, from North Korea to Saudi Arabia and from Los Angeles to Paris\, activists\, hacktivists and terrorists have asserted their right to free speech—while accusing others of abusing those rights. In this panel\, scholars and experts discuss the problems posed by traditional formulations of the right to free speech in a world where information is unbounded and the public sphere is immanent.\n\nFree Speech on the Front Lines will address the recent events affecting free speech in all forms. \n\nPanel\nKarla Mallette (moderator)\nDirector\, Center for European Studies and Islamic Studies Program\; Departments of Near Eastern Studies and Romance Languages and Literatures\n\n \n\nJuan Cole: Director\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\; Department of History\n\nDaniel Herbert: Screen Arts and Cultures\n\nDon Herzog: Law School\; Department of Political Science\n\nSteven Ratner: Law School\n\n \n\nThis event will be livestreamed starting at 4:00pm and live-tweeted.

Morgan\, New York University DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 1662\, legislators in the Virginia Colony passed a law that determined that\, in the matter of sex between free English men and “negro women\,” the legal condition of the child should follow that of the mother. Long understood as the law that codified hereditary racial slavery\, this code reassured slaveowning settlers that\, in the matter of enslaved people\, enslaveability devolved through the mother: Partus Sequitur Ventrem or\, literally\, “offspring follows belly.” In this paper I ask how this legislative intervention might have been perceived by enslaved women and men in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English Atlantic.\n\nJennifer L. Morgan is the author of Laboring Women: Gender and Reproduction in the Making of New World Slavery (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2004). Her research examines the intersections of gender and race in colonial America. She is currently a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton where she is at work on a project that considers colonial numeracy\, racism\, and the rise of the trans-Atlantic slave trade in the seventeenth-century English Atlantic\, tentatively titled Accounting for the Women in Slavery. She is Professor of History in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis and the Department of History at New York University and lives in New York City. \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Anti-Jewish violence\, or pogroms\, had been a sporadic part of life in Ukrainian lands for decades\, but this time the scale was different and the prognosis was more ominous: “Six Million Are in Peril\,” the headline warned. The article concluded by warning that “the population of six million souls in Ukraine and in Poland have received notice through action and by word that they are going to be completely exterminated.” Twenty-two years later\, Hitler’s army\, together with local collaborators\, began fulfilling the prophecy. Such dire predictions were commonplace in the era\, and contemporaries widely saw the threat ahead. Yet these early warning signs of the Holocaust have been largely expunged from history. This lecture will look at the pogroms of 1918-1921\, and suggest connections between the violence of that era and the Holocaust.

Several years ago he joined forces with young guitarist Vinny Raniolo\, and though they've played together in ensembles of various sizes\, it's as a duo that they really get cooking. The two mix original material with unique renditions of contemporary tunes to create a smoking-hot blend of contemporary acoustic rock\, gypsy jazz\, bluegrass\, swing\, and blues. The late guitar titan Les Paul named Frank Vignola as one of the five guitarists he admires most\, and with Vinny Raniolo he plays a show that goes beyond high energy.

No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\" UID:20743-1314914@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/20743 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Exhibition,Storytelling,Women's Studies,Writing LOCATION:202 S.

They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

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.

But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic. He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares. Since then\, these images have been with me. Fascination? Yes. Revulsion? That\, too. It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself. All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis. “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential. The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

In seeking multiple audiences with varying cultural backgrounds\, however\, these museums have had to reckon with making their telling legible and relevant to many groups – simply stating “we are still here” is not enough. In this presentation\, King will discuss how the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Haskell Indian Nations University’s Cultural Center and Museum\, and the Saginaw Chippewa Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture and Lifeways have had to rethink and adjust their rhetorical approach to make and to keep their exhibitions relevant to their audiences.\n\nA lecture by Lisa King (U. of Tennessee).

New bioethical responses are afoot. But when they emerge from non-indigenous institutions and philosophical terrain they cannot fully address indigenous peoples’ interpretations and ethical needs. Indigenous responses to cryopreservation technologies and practices can be more fully understood not simply by recourse to “bioethics\,” but also by weaving together the approaches of indigenous thinkers historically with newer thinking in indigenous studies\, feminist science studies\, critical animal studies\, and the new materialisms. \n\nThis talk weaves into conversation diverse intellectual threads in order to help us understand how the lines between life and not life\, materiality and the sacred are not so easily drawn for some indigenous peoples. This implicates how we approach from an indigenous standpoint the ethics of the preservation and new use of old biological samples. More fundamentally\, this talk interrogates the underlying concept of “preservation” that emerges from non-indigenous institutions in the form of technological and policy practices. Such practices compartmentalize indigenous history\, bodies\, and landscapes into a historical before and after that undercuts the very idea of indigenous peoples and landscapes as fully alive today.\n\nPresented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender's Feminist Science Studies Program and the Department of Anthropology.

Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe Infra Eco Logi Urbanism exhibition posits an approach and a vision for architecture at the urban scale within the contemporary post-metropolitan condition. The project assembles a multi-year investigation that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America\, and a develops a design proposition to leverage energy and mobility infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends\, addressing questions of politics and urban society.\nThe exhibition is organized as a territory\, gathering a diverse body of work including regional cartographies\, network analyses\, historical research\, writings\, photographs\, design drawings and physical models. In aggregate\, it presents a position from which to apprehend urban questions\, a vision\, a design methodology that operates across scales from the regional to the specific\, and an event around which to discuss regional systems and the role of design in figuring their futures.\nInfra Eco Logi Urbanism is a project\, exhibition and forthcoming publication by RVTR\, a research-based design practice founded by U-M Taubman College architecture associate professor Geoffrey Thün and assistant professor Kathy Velikov\, and Ryerson University architecture chair Colin Ripley. The exhibition was previously on display at Yale University. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

The MDGs were proposed to bridge the social\, economic and health inequalities that exist between countries. Four of these eight goals are health-related in nature: promoting gender equality and empowering women\, reducing child mortality\, improving maternal health\, and combating HIV/AIDS\, malaria\, and other communicable diseases. Collectively\, these reinforce the importance of efficient\, affordable and accessible health-systems to improve the lives of impoverished peoples across the globe. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are set to follow the MDGs in their effort to continue improving the livelihoods of our world’s most disadvantaged peoples. The SDGs are presently being negotiated and will be released in late 2015. A major focus of this symposium will be to learn from the successes and failures of the MDGs so that the next generation of students can be properly prepared to implement the proposed SDGs.\n\nFriday\, February 6\n\n4:30 PM Student Research presentations.\n\n6:00 PM Opening Keynote Presentation: \"Update from the UN Negotiations: Transitioning from the MDG's to the Post-2015 Development Agenda.\"\nRachel C.

As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

The MDGs were proposed to bridge the social\, economic and health inequalities that exist between countries. Four of these eight goals are health-related in nature: promoting gender equality and empowering women\, reducing child mortality\, improving maternal health\, and combating HIV/AIDS\, malaria\, and other communicable diseases. Collectively\, these reinforce the importance of efficient\, affordable and accessible health-systems to improve the lives of impoverished peoples across the globe. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are set to follow the MDGs in their effort to continue improving the livelihoods of our world’s most disadvantaged peoples. The SDGs are presently being negotiated and will be released in late 2015. A major focus of this symposium will be to learn from the successes and failures of the MDGs so that the next generation of students can be properly prepared to implement the proposed SDGs.\n\nFriday\, February 6\n\n4:30 PM Student Research presentations.\n\n6:00 PM Opening Keynote Presentation: \"Update from the UN Negotiations: Transitioning from the MDG's to the Post-2015 Development Agenda.\"\nRachel C.

They give us familiarity of foreground and delicious possibilities of horizon and of distance. Nowhere is this more necessary than in prison where the textures of daily life are replaced by barren spaces of confinement\, where time is flat and noise is constant. Prison artists carve out their sense of belonging by creating places of peaceful solitude where light and shadow create the shape of time and where quiet events occur. We enter into these places by the grace of the artist's imagination and feel their presence in the stroke of the brush or the touch of a pencil.

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 type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

State Street\n\n“I’ve had that war with me my whole life. It’s on my mind always.”\n\n- William Lewis\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years. But it’s been part of Stamps Emeritus faculty\, William Lewis’ imagination for almost a century. Now the 96-year-old artist has a rare solo exhibition at Work Gallery\, called Fragments of the Great War 1914-1918.\n\nLewis was born at the end of the war. As a young child\, he poured over the images of its devastation and triumphs in the books and magazines that filled his grandparent’s attic. He witnessed the war’s psychological aftermath firsthand in the behavior of his four uncles and father who had fought in the conflict.\n\nFor Lewis\, “I was a child brought up with some of these men\, their books\, their photos\, their nightmares. Since then\, these images have been with me. Fascination? Yes. Revulsion? That\, too. It all left a kind of inheritance\, one I’ve tried to translate into paintings using various media.”\n\nSome of the images in Fragments of the Great War have the violent abstract beauty of JM Turner landscapes\, some contain actual letters and medals from the war itself. All are intensely personal\, yet mindful of their role as historical messengers. Each piece carries a caption that locates the viewer to a particular time and place. \n\n“Photographs have been an extraordinarily powerful resource - I draw from them\, adapt elements of them\, and in truth\, try to see beyond the image on the print or reproduction\,” says Lewis. \n\n“Needless to say\, there has been much reading to accompany the images all these years.”\n\nBeyond illuminating a particular event or battle\, the works also foreground the role of the war in altering our modern world.\n\n“The development of new technologies and machines for war\, as an aspect of the industrial revolution\, radically altered Western Civilization\,” confirms Lewis. “But ultimately\, I think of the wars as a failure by governing societies to meet their potential. The wars are a failed attempt to gain a prize\, usually through greed rather than intelligent use of knowledge.”\n\nBill Lewis’ work stands in testimony\, not to those profiteers\, but to the family men\, like Bill’s own relatives\, whose lives were forever altered by their experiences of the “war to end all wars.”\n\nThe exhibit is on display at Work Gallery from January 27th - February 21\, 2015.\n\nWorld War I\, the war that ushered in the modern era\, spanned just four years.

Associate Professor Geoffrey Thün and his team will discuss the exhibition and the concepts behind its development.\nThe Infra Eco Logi Urbanism exhibition posits an approach and a vision for architecture at the urban scale within the contemporary post-metropolitan condition. The project assembles a multi-year investigation that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America\, and a develops a design proposition to leverage energy and mobility infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends\, addressing questions of politics and urban society.\nThe exhibition is organized as a territory\, gathering a diverse body of work including regional cartographies\, network analyses\, historical research\, writings\, photographs\, design drawings and physical models. In aggregate\, it presents a position from which to apprehend urban questions\, a vision\, a design methodology that operates across scales from the regional to the specific\, and an event around which to discuss regional systems and the role of design in figuring their futures.\nInfra Eco Logi Urbanism is a project\, exhibition and forthcoming publication by RVTR\, a research-based design practice founded by U-M Taubman College architecture associate professor Geoffrey Thün and assistant professor Kathy Velikov\, and Ryerson University architecture chair Colin Ripley. The exhibition was previously on display at Yale University. www.rvtr.com \n\nThis exhibition runs from January 22 - February 22\, 2015.

Bono\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, and Jim Jarmusch are among those who have sung his praises. Willie Nile's live performances\, like his recent razor's-edge set at the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, are legendary. He has toured across the U.S. opening for The Who at the personal request of the band and sung with Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium. Willie was born in Buffalo\, New York\, sings\, plays guitar and piano\, lives in New York City\, and has outstanding parking tickets in many states. Anyone who’s paid attention to his recent work knows that Willie Nile is currently in the midst of a creative renaissance that’s produced some of the mot compelling music of his 35-year career. The tradition continues with his latest release\, the contemplative \"If I Was a River.\" UID:19669-1235290@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/19669 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.
