She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

Is it sufficient to describe these floods as “natural disasters”? This lecture will map out the spatial politics of North Jakarta’s water\, as a vital resource and as a dynamic\, destructive feature in the urban landscape. We will see examples of adaptation\, a design and planning strategy that focuses on an urban environment’s capacity to adjust to different futures.\n\nMeredith Miller is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

The first exhibition\, Pattern’s Presence\, was during January 2014 at Grand Valley State University’s Padnos Art Gallery. Since then it’s traveled to East Lansing’s Scene Metrospace in January of this year\, then to Have Company in Grand Rapids in March. This is it’s third conception\, showcasing many new artists.\n\nBeyond Material is curated by Kate Garman. She is an independent curator and artist\, currently living in Grand Rapids. In between curating Beyond Material\, she has also had the opportunity to expand her own work through multiple exhibitions\, both collaborative and solo. By day she is a designer for Scott Group Custom Carpets\, still allowing time to complete various artistic side projects.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

An Experiment on the Returns to Foreign Work Experience\n\nAbstract:\nReturn migration is a potentially important channel through which migrant-sending countries stand to benefit from international migration. Yet to date\, its consequences for return migrants and domestic labor markets remain poorly understood. What is the value of return migrants\, and the foreign work experience they bring\, to domestic employers? I conduct an audit study in the Philippines\, sending over 8\,000 fictitious resumes in response to online job postings across multiple occupations. Resumes are randomly assigned varying lengths of foreign work experience\, among other things. I find that employers appear to disfavor return migrants: workers with foreign experience receive 12 percent fewer callbacks than non-migrants\, with callback rates lower for those who have spent a longer time abroad. I offer evidence of the importance of location-specific human capital and suggest that its value possibly deteriorates as a worker spends time away from the domestic economy.

Hermsen\, Asst Prof of Paleobotany at Cornell University DESCRIPTION:Marsileaceae are one of two families of aquatic to semi-aquatic\, heterosporous ferns that comprise the order Salviniales. The three genera in the family—Marsilea\, Pilularia\, and Regnellidium—are easily distinguished on the basis of leaf and megaspore morphology. While Marsileaceae have an extensive spore record that dates back to the Late Jurassic to earliest Early Cretaceous\, the poverty of their macrofossil record makes it difficult to determine how their sporophyte structure has evolved over time and whether changes in spore and sporophyte morphology are coincident or staggered. Recent finds from the Upper Cretaceous La Colonia Formation of Patagonia\, Argentina\, have provided new macrofossil and spore records of water ferns. This has spurred further investigation into the macrofossil record of North American Marsileaceae\, including reexamination of the most ancient known plant with Marsilea-like leaves\, Marsileaceaephyllum johnhallii. Findings indicate that this important taxon may actually represent the enigmatic Cretaceous-Paleogene angiosperm Fortuna. With the loss of this record\, Marsilea-like leaves are represented by only three known macrofossil occurrences worldwide\; with the addition of a new species of Regnellidium from the La Colonia Formation\, Regnellidium leaves are known from two. Thus\, while the fossil record presents tantalizing clues about the morphological evolution of the heterosporous ferns\, the macrofossil record of Marsileaceae remains vague and prone to misinterpretation.

And yet the inscription and preservation of texts remained closely linked to oral\, embodied\, affective media throughout the Middle Ages. Indeed\, the process of creating a document\, and the document as a material object\, could be far more important than what the document said. Written records therefore mattered in ways that did not necessarily depend on the technical capacity to read or write\, while the medieval archive was as likely to include weapons\, clothing\, relics\, and clods of earth as it was to contain charters. Rather than supplanting memory and sensory stimuli\, then\, the written artifact could be a vehicle for activating emotion and conveying information that could not be captured in the words alone. This presentation will reconsider the meanings of medieval documentation\, arguing that we need to re-assess the ways that manuscript texts functioned and the kinds of evidence they can yield. \n\nCarol Symes is the Lynn M. Martin Professorial Scholar at the University of Illinois\, where she is an associate professor of history with appointments in theatre and medieval studies. Educated at Yale and Oxford\, she trained for an acting career at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (in England) and continued to work professionally while earning the Ph.D at Harvard. Her research deals with the relationships among premodern performance practices and written records\, asking fundamental questions about the transmission of knowledge and the development of communication technologies. Her first book\, \"A Common Stage: Theatre and Public Life in Medieval Arras\" (2007)\, won four national awards in three different fields of study\, including the Herbert Baxter Adams Prize of the American Historical Association and the John Nicholas Brown Prize from the Medieval Academy of America. Her current book project is “Bodies of Text: Acts of Writing and the Work of Documentation in Northwestern Europe\, 1000-1215\,” a study of the embodied\, affective\, and material conditions in which written records were negotiated and created. She is also the founding executive editor of \"The Medieval Globe\,\" a new biannual academic journal launched in 2014 with a special double issue on the Black Death as a global pandemic\; its larger mission is to explore the myriad interconnections among regions\, communities\, and individuals during an era central to human history. \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

While legal scholars have debated the merits of rules and standards in law for decades\, advances in technology will give rise to a system where lawmakers rely exclusively on precise rules. This will fundamentally change the nature and structure of law. Two types of technology facilitate the death of standards. First\, predictive technology such as big data and artificial intelligence will vastly improve lawmakers’ information. The rapidly improving precision of this technology will ultimately allow the design of specific ex ante rules for virtually every context. Second\, as the complexity of rules grows beyond human processing capabilities\, communication technology will simplify things and provide citizens with clear directives. Rules that take into account thousands of pertinent factors will be instantly communicated to a citizen as a simple yes or no message – a green or red light. Meanwhile\, the cost of standards will not be impacted in the same way. The ex post nature of standards will continue to create uncertainty costs. The cost trade-off between rules and standards will\, therefore\, change and the justification for using standards will dissipate. While others have explored narrower effects of predictive technology\, we foresee a wholesale change in the way society structures and thinks about law. The role of judges and lawyers will be diminished. The famous academic debate about rules and standards will become irrelevant. Other debates about autonomy\, limitless rulemaking\, and the ethics of entrusting machines with legal decisions will gain greater importance.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters.

The exhibition will emphasize the importance and value of the architectural imagination in shaping forms and spaces into exciting future possibilities. The birthplace of the automobile industry\, the free-span factory floor\, the concrete paved road\, and Motown and techno music\, Detroit was once a center of American imagination\, not only for the products it made but also for its modern architecture and modern lifestyle\, which captivated audiences worldwide. Like many postindustrial cities\, Detroit is coping with a changed urban core that for decades has generated much thinking in urban planning. As advocates of the power of architecture to construct culture and catalyze cities\, curators Cynthia Davidson and Monica Ponce de Leon will commission twelve visionary American architectural practices to produce new work that demonstrates the creativity and resourcefulness of architecture to address the social and environmental issues of the 21st century.\n\nThis presentation is the second of four The Architectural Imagination roundtable discussions at Taubman College. \n\nSite:\nMexicantown\n\nArchitects:\n\nFLORENCIA PITA AND JACKILIN BLOOM\, Pita & Bloom\, Los Angeles\, CA\n\nBoth Florencia Pita and Jackilin Hah Bloom have extensive workand teaching experience. While together at Greg Lynn FORM\, they were team leaders on the World Trade Center Design competition. While Jackilin continued at Greg Lynn FORM to design and build the Bloom House\, Florencia has designed and executed several full-scale installations of her own. Their shared sensibilities and research interests brought them together in 2010 and have since produced a body of work that focuses on the cohesion of form and color.\n\nMARCELO LOPEZ-DINARDI AND V.

She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

Since media and communication studies began in the 1970s\, its object of study has changed in fundamental ways. Media was at first thought of almost wholly within the frame of the nation-state\, and its national politics and culture. Since then\, the diffusion of continuing technological innovations\, driven by the world economy\, has changed the media landscape beyond recognition\, producing the ‘globalized’ world that we inhabit today. Situated within this larger frame\, this conference\, organized by Aswin Punathambekar (Associate Professor of Communication Studies)\, will bring together an international array of scholars with a shared interest in the rise of digital and mobile media technologies\, the ongoing transformation of established media industries\, and emergent forms of media practice and use that are reconfiguring socio-cultural\, political\, and economic terrains across the Indian subcontinent. The conference will also focus on the everyday lived experiences of audiences and publics—in South Asia and the South Asian diaspora—in their interaction with different kinds of media: old and new\, state and private\, elite and popular\, global and national.\n\nThe rise of digital and mobile media technologies\, and new forms of media practice and use associated with them\, parallels the emergence of new forms of commercial media and communications enterprises across the global South. Our primary aim in convening this international conference is to draw together hitherto scattered national\, comparative and transnational work on media and communication in South Asia\; and secondly\, in working through the overlapping themes of the conference\, to discover common areas of interest and emerging lines of enquiry for future research. The conference is organized around four themes\; a panel will be devoted to each of the following: “digital imaginaries\,” “digital media and the new political\,” “love and longing in digital South Asia\,” and “television’s newness.”\n\nThis conference is made possible by generous support from Ranvir and Adarsh Trehan and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

We can rediscover how visually evocative and meaningful cinema can be by looking at and discussing some of the best photographed and edited films in screen history. Here are the six films we are likely to examine: \"Bride of Frankenstein\" (USA\, 1935)\; \"The Third Man\" (England 1950)\; \"Days of Heaven\" (USA\, 1978)\; \"Blade Runner\" (USA\, 1982)\; \"Amélie\" (French\, 2001)\; and \"Girl with a Pearl Earring\" (Great Britain\, 2003). \n\nThis study group for adults 50+ meets Fridays\, October 2 – November 6.\n\nInstructor Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film at U of M.\n\nFor more information click on the link: https://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/593 UID:23584-1424517@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23584 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Film,Lifelong Learning,Retirement,Visual Arts LOCATION:Off Campus Location - 1400 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150821T143650 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151002T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151002T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mitsui Finance DESCRIPTION:TBA UID:23997-1428090@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23997 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0420 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150709T152829 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151002T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151002T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jem Cohen DESCRIPTION:The title of this multi-format photography and video installation by New York filmmaker Jem Cohen comes from the artist’s own characterization of his practice.\n As he explains\, “The unifying core of my work stems from encountering the world as it unfolds. Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Aparicio (Northwestern University)\, a former faculty member at U-M\, to give a talk on Friday\, October 2 at 11:30am in the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery (Room 100). \n\nProf. Aparicio will be spending the day at U-M. Her keynote talk will be followed by a lunch reception (free and open to the public). She will also have time to meet with students and faculty in smaller groups.\n\nThe title of Frances Aparicio's talk is “Passing for Mexican: Relational Identities in Latina/o Chicago.” She describes her talk as follows:\n\n\"Based on twenty interviews with Latina/o individuals who are of two or more Latin American national origins\, I identify three modes of 'passing' that allow Intralatina/os a sense of belonging within the 'contextual dominance' of Mexican Chicago. In these relational power dynamics\, second-generation Intralatina/os engage the slippages between the 'Mexican' and 'Latina/o' common in dominant discourses\, their affective (dis)identifications with the larger Mexican community\, as well as their own family histories that inform their personal and social negotiations as they struggle to belong in Latina/o Chicago. I propose new 'horizontal hierarchies' that can reveal these relational negotiations among US Latina/os.\"\n\nThe Latina/o Studies Program has organized this event as a part of Latina/o Heritage Month and the 80th Anniversary Celebration of the Department of American Culture.\n\nFrances R. Aparicio is Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Director of the Latina and Latino Studies Program at Northwestern University. She has previously taught at Stanford University\, University of Arizona\, University of Michigan\, and University of Illinois at Chicago. Her research interests include Latina and Latino literary and cultural studies\, the cultural politics of U.S. Latina/o languages\, Latina/o popular music and dance\, literary and cultural translation\, cultural hybridity\, transnationalism\, Latinidad\, and mixed Latina/o identities. \n\nShe is author of the award-winning Listening to Salsa: Gender\, Latin Popular Music and Puerto Rican Cultures (Wesleyan 1998)\, and co-editor of various critical anthologies\, including Tropicalizations: Transcultural Representations of Latinidad (University of New England Press\, 1997)\, Musical Migrations (Palgrave\, 2003)\, Hibridismos culturales (Revista Iberoamericana\, 2006)\, and The Routledge Companion to Latino/a Literatures (with Suzanne Bost\, 2013). \n\nA founding editor of the Latinos in Chicago and the Midwest Book Series at the University of Illinois Press\, she has facilitated and fostered book publications and new research on Latina/os in the Midwest. She is currently writing on “Intralatina/o subjects\,” individuals who are of two or more national Latin American origins.

The documents discussed are a much-used and much-loved Renaissance account of how Jesus’s house flew to Italy\; a collection of self-produced audio tapes circulated in the 1980s United States among sound artists\; and late-twentieth-century laws on licit/illicit sex that had unintended consequences for American gay men. By juxtaposing these documents\, and excavating their publics\, the workshop explores how historians’ sources once expressed more than they now actually say. Panelists include:\n\nCarol Symes\, Associate Professor\, History\, Theatre\, and Medieval Studies\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\;\nScott De Orio\, Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women's Studies\, University of Michigan\;\nPascal Massinon\, Ph.D. Candidate in History\, University of Michigan\;\nEmily Price\, Ph.D. Candidate in history\, University of Michigan\;\nPaolo Squatriti (chair)\, Professor of History and Romance Languages and Literatures\, University of Michigan.\n\nFree and open to the public.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Students will be led through a series of movement and conceptual experiments dealing with time repetition\, and curiosity. The practice will begin with experiential anatomy and techniques addressing the nervous system. Tawil will then teach material from \"Day of the innocents\" as a way of investigating how and why to approach movement in the context of a research-based performance. \"Day of the Innocents\" was recently workshopped in Berlin at DOCK11 and continues its development in Suomenlinna-Finland with Jason Lescalleet and Heidi Alasuvanto.\n\nEach session features a different guest artist who teaches a masterclass and sections from their repertory—this panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the student’s awareness of what career possibilities are out there. The guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. \n\nIn the final 15-20 minutes faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q and A interviewing each guest artist about their career and what recommendations they have about the transition from student to professional and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects UID:24449-1486607@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24449 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Free LOCATION:Dance Building - Betty Pease Studio Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160121T142547 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151002T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151002T160000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:1st Fridays DESCRIPTION:Feel Good Friday\, but with a twist!

Molybdenum speciation: The missing piece toward a new model? DESCRIPTION:Since the development of life on Earth was so deeply tied with the presence of oxygen in the ancient ocean and atmosphere\, it is vital to understand when\, how and why Earth’s oxygen concentration has risen and fluctuated since the Great Oxidation Event ( 2.4 billions years ago). To achieve these goals\, the geoscience community needs to rely on indirect geochemical indicators sensitive to the presence or absence of oxygen: The paleo-redox proxies. \n\nAmong the redox sensitive trace elements (RSTE)\, molybdenum (Mo) has emerged as a powerful tool to reconstruct oxygen fluctuations in modern and ancient aquatic systems. Two reasons explain this popularity: (1) Mo enrichments in sedimentary records are correlated with a gradient toward euxinia\; (2) Mo isotopes are supposed to capture the isotopic seawater signature and thus fingerprint the relative amount of oxygen. Many studies have used Mo systematics to investigate early Earth’s oxygenation\, yet sometimes these two approaches led to ambiguous results. \n\nSurprisingly\, beside the reactions involving iron and manganese oxyhydroxides under oxygenated conditions\, our knowledge regarding the possible pathways leading to Mo burial in presence of sulfide are quite limited and probably too simplistic. The irony of the situation being that Mo is mainly determined to detect past sulfidic conditions…\n\nWith the ambition to propose an updated model describing Mo burial pathways under non-oxygenated conditions\, my group has explored Mo speciation in several anoxic and euxinic settings and developed new analytical methods. During my lecture\, I will present our latest findings and hopefully will convince you of the importance of incorporating RSTE speciation (molecular geochemistry) in your future projects involving paleo proxies.

Since media and communication studies began in the 1970s\, its object of study has changed in fundamental ways. Media was at first thought of almost wholly within the frame of the nation-state\, and its national politics and culture. Since then\, the diffusion of continuing technological innovations\, driven by the world economy\, has changed the media landscape beyond recognition\, producing the ‘globalized’ world that we inhabit today. Situated within this larger frame\, this conference\, organized by Aswin Punathambekar (Associate Professor of Communication Studies)\, will bring together an international array of scholars with a shared interest in the rise of digital and mobile media technologies\, the ongoing transformation of established media industries\, and emergent forms of media practice and use that are reconfiguring socio-cultural\, political\, and economic terrains across the Indian subcontinent. The conference will also focus on the everyday lived experiences of audiences and publics—in South Asia and the South Asian diaspora—in their interaction with different kinds of media: old and new\, state and private\, elite and popular\, global and national.\n\nThe rise of digital and mobile media technologies\, and new forms of media practice and use associated with them\, parallels the emergence of new forms of commercial media and communications enterprises across the global South. Our primary aim in convening this international conference is to draw together hitherto scattered national\, comparative and transnational work on media and communication in South Asia\; and secondly\, in working through the overlapping themes of the conference\, to discover common areas of interest and emerging lines of enquiry for future research. The conference is organized around four themes\; a panel will be devoted to each of the following: “digital imaginaries\,” “digital media and the new political\,” “love and longing in digital South Asia\,” and “television’s newness.”\n\nThis conference is made possible by generous support from Ranvir and Adarsh Trehan and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Featuring gallery talk with curator Tiffany Bell and artist Heather Nicol at 6 pm.\n\nMary Hambleton’s art is about the wonder of life with its many complexities. In her paintings and many works on paper\, she embraced nature\, rendering forms that could be seen as either microscopic views of the smallest things or macroscopic vistas of the heavens. She combined organic looking forms and earth colors with the regularity of geometric stripes and bold\, primary color. And as an observer of everything around her\, she incorporated personal experience in her work in a way that is universally understood.\n\nThis exhibition concentrates on the work of the last decade of Hambleton’s career\, which ended with her death at the age of fifty-six in 2009. It includes both paintings and works on paper and represents the range of her motifs from stripes and dots to the use of printed images and body scans in both small intimate works and large all encompassing arrangements.  Hambleton was primarily an abstract painter who sometimes worked on individual paintings for years\, revising her colors\, surfaces and textures to create wonderfully complex\, layered paintings. After she was diagnosed with cancer in 2002\, she began integrating images scanned from books\, postcards\, maps\, and photographs in her art. In some of her last works\, she used images of her own PET scans and pictures of extinct animals such as the dodo bird or ivory-billed woodpecker to evoke particularly poignant meditations on life and death. \n\nThe show takes its title from one of the last paintings the artist made.  It suggests her constantly hopeful\, optimistic approach to life but also refers to her painting process - a long\, considered search for the visual wonders that make color and marks become paintings that transcend their material bounds.\n\nMary Hambleton attended the San Francisco Art Institute. She lived in New York City for most of her life and exhibited her work there and across the country. She taught at Parsons the New School for Design and Rhode Island School of Design. She was the recipient of two Pollock-Krasner grants\, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. \n\nMary Hambleton: Waiting for the Miracles is curated by Tiffany Bell. She is an independent curator and writer\, currently working as editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonne and co-curator of Agnes Martin\, a traveling retrospective at Tate Modern\, London\; going to Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen\, Düsseldorf\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

For years to come\, Polish culture would reveal much about its scholars’ attendance at the learning centers at Padua and Bologna\, and its musicians’ fascination with the great Venetian musical circles.

In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

They call their sound \"new music for old souls\,\" and it has elements of alt-country\, classic folk\, punk\, and jam-band freedom. This band blends the tangled roots of American music in a fierce and fiery alchemy\, with soulful three-part harmonies mixed with stringed things and foot stomps\, building a synergy that bursts from the stage. It’s city and country. It’s rock and soul. It's bleeding\, sweating\, crying\, rejoicing … It’s alive! The Kalamazoo Gazette came pretty close to the Hoots and Hellmouth experience with the description of the duo \"singing from the pits of themselves and throwing themselves into it all.\" Hoots and Hellmouth have been big local favorites ever since their roof-raising appearances at the 2010 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.\nThis performance is in memory of Al Howarth.

Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Tyree Guyton\, New Work DESCRIPTION:The fifteen works of art presented in “What Time Is It?” emerge from Guyton's well-known Heidelberg Project\, a dynamic outdoor intervention covering two city blocks in the Paradise Valley neighborhood of southeast Detroit. It is work that addresses the difficult social and economic challenges that the citizens of Detroit have faced over the last fifty years. This exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio.

The Making of European Jihadis DESCRIPTION:More than 4000 people from Europe have gone to Syria to fight with IS. They include mothers\, grandfathers\, school students\, doctors\, and teachers. What is it that draws thousands of Europeans to a brutal\, sadistic organization like IS? The conventional answer is “radicalization”: a process through which extremist groups or “hate preachers” groom vulnerable Muslims for jihadism by indoctrinating them with extremist ideas. Some commentators blame Western authorities for pushing young Muslims into the arms of the groomers. Others stress the “pull” factor\, insisting that the problem lies with Islam itself\, a faith that\, in their eyes\, legitimizes violence\, terror\, and inhumanity.\n\nThe speaker will argue that neither claim is credible and that the problem with much of contemporary discussion about terrorism lies in the very idea of “radicalization.” Through exploration of the life stories of European jihadis\, he will challenge conventional ways of thinking about “radicalization\,” “alienation\,” and “integration.”\n\nKenan Malik is a London-based writer\, lecturer\, and broadcaster. His latest book\,From Fatwa to Jihad: The Rushdie Affair and its Legacy (Atlantic\, 2009) explores the issues that the Rushide affair raised\, in particular the questions of muliculturalism\, radical Islam\, and free speech\, and shows how in responding to these issues Western liberals have betrayed the fundamental beliefs of liberalism. It was shortlisted for the 2010 Orwell Book Prize. His current project is a history of moral thought.\n\nPart of the European Mosque series\, jointly sponsored by the Center for European Studies and Islamic Studies Program\, which focuses on the mosque and its place in the European landscape. What cultural and social role does the mosque play for Muslims in Europe? How do European mosques blend traditional Islamic and modern European architectural features\, and traditional preaching with modern technology? What is unique about the European mosque\, and how does it shape the lives of European Muslims?

Led by dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski\, and drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B\, funk\, Southern soul\, Delta blues\, and New Orleans second-line\, the Honeydrops bring vibrant energy and infectious dance-party vibes to their shows. They’ve taken the party all over the world: on 9 European tours\, featured slots at such premiere festivals as Monterey Jazz\, High Sierra\, and Outside Lands\, and recent performances supporting B.B. King\, Dr. John\, Buddy Guy\, and Allen Toussaint. Whether in those high-profile performances or in more intimate venues where the band itself can leave the stage and get down on the dance floor\, the California Honeydrops’ shared vision and purpose remain: to make the audience dance and sing. The Honeydrops have come a long way since guitarist and trumpeter Lech Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland BART station\, but the band has stayed true to that organic\, street-level feel. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards\, and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound to support Wierzynski’s vocals. Listening to Lech sing\, it can be a surprise that he was born in Warsaw\, Poland\, and raised by Polish political refugees. He learned his vocal stylings from contraband American recordings of Sam Cooke\, Ray Charles\, and Louis Armstrong\, and later at Oberlin College and on the club circuit in Oakland\, California. Bringing all those influences together with the rest of the band’s diverse experiences into a unified musical vision\, the California Honeydrops expect to play parties for a long time. The effortlessly multi-genre Ann Arbor band The Understorey opens.

In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability.

Tens of thousands of brothels\, concert saloons\, and dance halls across the nation—all common sites for prostitution—featured regular\, full-time professional music-making for dancing\, and thus provided a well-paid livelihood for working musicians. This project explores the nexus between prostitution\, music-making\, dance\, sexuality\, an underground cultural economy\, and the development of musical foundations upon which an extraordinarily vital 20th-century American popular music was built. \n\nSponsored by the American Music Institute and U-M Gershwin Initiative.

The date was previously listed as Friday\, October 16th.\n\nIn the exploding world of acoustic music\, Willie Watson hardly needs an introduction. During his decade-plus tenure with Old Crow Medicine Show\, Willie’s driving rhythm guitar\, transcendent lead vocals and pure tenor were an essential part of the band’s success (over 600\,000 records sold not to mention the platinum-selling single “Wagon Wheel”)\, but nowhere in OCMS’s catalog does his instrumental artistry and vocal prowess shine through as in his new solo incarnation. Reaching back for inspiration to such artists as Utah Phillips\, Leadbelly\, and even the 1930s folk-country crossover artist Bascom Lamar Lunsford\, Willie reinterprets and gives new life to a vast catalog of traditional songs that fit seamlessly beside self-penned classics cut from the very same cloth\, creating a rich new patchwork of Americana. Willie returns to The Ark fresh off a tour of the UK\, and we're glad to see him taking the music The Ark started out with all over the world.

She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae.

Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

GaN is a piezoelectric material. As a result\, when it is strained\, a strong built-in electric field is generated which has profound impacts on its applications in LEDs and lasers. In these devices\, strained InGaN heterostructures are routinely employed as the light-emitting active region. The strain induced built-in electric field can significantly lower the emitter efficiency\, cause efficiency droop and undesirable wavelength drift. Nanowires can effectively relax the strain and nanowire LEDs have attracted substantial interests in recent years. In this work\, we showed that by controlling and engineering the strain in GaN nanowires\, not only can one realize benefits from strain relaxation\, new degrees of control can be obtained which have potential applications for display\, communication\, and sensing. In this talk\, I will discuss two of these applications: (1) on-demand single photon sources with highly pure and programmable polarization states\; (2) monolithically integrated multi-color light emitter chips.

How does the medium of dance allow artists to deconstruct and recreate literary classics? Based on more than six decades of experience in China's ballet world\, Professor Xiao Suhua will discuss his views on contemporary ballet in China past and present. He will also introduce and discuss two of his own recent experimental dance adaptations of Chinese literary classics\, including Legend of the White Snake and Dream of Red Mansions. A brief question and answer session will follow.\n\nXiao Suhua (肖苏华) ranks among China’s foremost choreographers and teachers of contemporary dance. Born in Moscow in 1937 to agents of China’s underground Communist Party\, he trained in Soviet dance academies and returned to newly-established Communist China after the 1949 revolution. Prof. Xiao began his career as a conduit for Beijing-Moscow cultural exchanges\, a role lasting into the 1960s. He survived persecution during the Cultural Revolution to emerge as one of China’s most influential advocates of contemporary dance. His choreography brings together Soviet dramatic and symphonic dance idioms with traditional Chinese tales like Dream of the Red Chamber and White Snake. Today\, Prof. Xiao maintains close creative relationships with global dance institutions including the Bolshoi Ballet\, traveling frequently and sitting on numerous juries in Asia and Europe. This will be his first lecture and workshop series in the United States\, offering a rare window into the contemporary arts culture of China and Russia\, and the history of Sino-Soviet cultural collaboration. Prof. Xiao is fluent in Russian and Mandarin.\n\nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at U-M.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

DESCRIPTION:The book \"Rethinking Thin\" is a lively and liberating challenge to the conventional wisdom about diets and weight loss. Author and New York Times science writer Gina Kolata shows that our society's obsession with dieting and weight loss is less about keeping trim and staying healthy than about money\, power\, trends and impossible ideals. It is a story of the place of diets in American society and a provocative critique of the weight loss industry. Mike Murray is a clinical psychologist.

How is it possible that the United States\, which spends more than any other nation on health care and insurance\, now has a population markedly less healthy than those of many other nations? Sociologist and public health expert James S. House analyzes this paradoxical crisis\, offering surprising new explanations for how and why the United States has fallen into this trap. In Beyond Obamacare\, House shows that health care reforms\, including the Affordable Care Act\, cannot resolve this crisis because they do not focus on the underlying causes for the nation’s poor health outcomes\, which are largely social\, economic\, environmental\, psychological\, and behavioral.\n\nHouse demonstrates that the problems of our broken health care and insurance system are interconnected with our large and growing social disparities in education\, income\, and other conditions of life and work. House calls for a complete reorientation of how we think about health. He concludes that we need to move away from our misguided and almost exclusive focus on biomedical determinants of health\, and to place more emphasis on addressing social\, economic\,and other inequalities.\n\nFor more information on Beyond Obamacare\, visit the publisher's website.\n\nFrom the author's bio:\n\nJames S. House is the Angus Campbell Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Survey Research\, Public Policy and Sociology. His primary appointment is in the Survey Research Center\, the Institute for Social Research\, with a joint retention appointment in Sociology in addition to his primary academic appointment in Public Policy. His research has focused on the role of social and psychological factors in the etiology and course of health and illness\, including the role of psychosocial factors in understanding and alleviating social disparities in health and the way health changes with age. He has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the Institute of Medicine\, and the National Academy of Sciences. At the Ford School he teaches courses in socioeconomic policy and health policy. In the last decade\, Jim co-edited Making Americans Healthier: Social and Economic Policy as Health Policy (2008\, with Bob Schoeni of the Ford School and others) and A Telescope on Society: Survey Research & Social Science at the University of Michigan and Beyond (2004\, with others). He received his BA in History from Haverford college\, his Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of Michigan\, and taught at Duke University before joining University of Michigan faculty in 1978 and the Ford School in January 2008.\n\nThis event is made possible through the generous support of the Gilbert S.

Once the Chosŏn state ended a bloody persecution (1394–1416) which virtually exterminated the Wangs\, the lucky survivors and their descendants performed state-sanctioned ancestor veneration ritual of sacrificial offering (pongsa) to Koryŏ kings. Moreover\, many passed the government service examinations\, entered officialdom\, commanded armies\, and constituted local elite lineages in various parts of Korea. The most privileged among the Wangs were no different from the general aristocracy (yangban) pursuing classical Chinese education and prescribing to Confucian moral norms such as the cardinal virtue of subject’s loyalty (ch’ung) to the ruler. All the same\, an emerging body of subversive narratives\, written and oral\, began expressing sympathy toward Koryŏ and its progeny as victims of Chosŏn. The Wangs themselves refrained from openly concurring until after the end of the Chosŏn dynasty.\n\nEugene Y. Park is Korea Foundation Associate Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania. The author of \"Between Dreams and Reality: The Military Examination in Chosŏn Korea\, 1600–1894\" (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2007) and \"A Family of No Prominence: The Descendants of Pak Tokhwa and the Birth of Modern Korea\" (Stanford University Press\, 2014)\, Park received his B.A. from UCLA\, followed by M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. Currently he is writing a monograph\, \"Progeny of Fallen Royals: Resurrection of the Kaesŏng Wang in Korea\,\" which examines positions occupied by the descendants of Koryŏ dynasty in Chosŏn and modern Korean politics and society. He is also editing\, with Yi Tae-Jin\, \"Peace in the East: An Chunggŭn and Asia in the Age of Empires\,\" and with George L. Kallander and Michael J.

This article begins by establishing the existence of networks of colonial sociologists and charting their size\, composition\, and relations to neighboring academic disciplines\, especially anthropology. A careful reconstruction of the two sociological fields finds that colonies became a key object\, terrain of investigation\, and employment site for sociologists\, engaging 33-55% of the British and French sociology fields between 1945 and 1960. Colonial developmentalism created a demand for new forms of social scientific expertise\, including Sociology. Sociologists became favored partners of colonial governments\, resulting in novel forms of applied sociology focused on urbanization\, detribalization\, labor migration\, industrialization\, poverty\, and resettlement. Colonial sociologists also made a number of theoretical\, methodological\, and empirical contributions that\, while largely forgotten\, shaped the subsequent discipline in unacknowledged ways and foreshadowed more recent work on race relations\, transnational and global history\, and “southern” and postcolonial theory.

Guest speaker Merle Lyn Bachman will present her investigations into the work and worlds of these two very different writers\, who are connected by the wandering and multiplicity that mark their poems\, as well as the sharp bite of diaspora. Translation creates another connection\, as both poets engaged in translating (from Hebrew and from English)\, and Bachman herself is translating selections from Nevadovska’s Yiddish poems.\n\nMerle Bachman is a poet\, a Yiddishist\, and an Associate Professor English at Spalding University\, where she also directs the undergraduate Creative Writing program.
