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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Visually Demolished and Textually Reconstructed: The Middle Ages in Contemporary Crime Fiction DESCRIPTION:Despite the growing interest in medievalist (re)constructions of the Middle Ages (e.g. in film\, theater\, and fiction)\, the image of the “Middle Ages” in contemporary crime fiction has not been studied at all despite the immense popularity of this subgenre of crime writing. This talk will take a look at this production that\, more or less\, began in the late 1970s and has grown into a vibrant industry encompassing a variety of periods from the 7th to the 15th century\, mostly placed in England\, but also in France\, Germany\, and Italy. An attempt will be made to recognize the narrative mechanisms of “medieval mystery novels\,” their literary models\; their ideological approaches to various medieval societies\; and their depiction of violence\, sex\, power\, and friendship. A brief look will be offered to crime fiction dealing with cultures outside the conventional frame of the (Western) Middle Ages\, such as\, China\, Japan\, and Byzantium. Ultimately\, it will be proposed that the “new” Middle Ages of contemporary crime fiction are an exotic locus of intertextual and intervisual fantasy\, rather than an academic archeological recostrunction of a clearly defined medieval past.\n\nPanagiotis A. Agapitos is professor of Byzantine literature at the University of Cyprus. His research interests focus on textual and literary criticism\, with an emphasis on Byzantine rhetoric and its performance\, poetics\, erotic fiction\, and the representation of death in Byzantine literature. Beyond his scholarly papers\, he has published Narrative Structure in the Byzantine Vernacular Romances (Munich 1991)\; Theodoros Metochites on Greek Philosophy and Ancient History (Gothenburg 1996)\; the first critical edition of the thirteenth-century verse romance Livistros and Rhodamne (Athens 2006)\; and\, most recently\, Between History and Fiction: Medieval Narratives between History and Fiction: From the Centre to the Periphery of Europe\, 1100-1400 (Copenhagen 2012)\, edited with L. B. Mortensen. He is currently preparing an English translation with introduction and notes of Livistros and Rodamne for Translated Texts for Byzantinists (Liverpool University Press)\, and a study on the periodization of Byzantine literature. Parallel to his scholarly activities\, he is a writer of historical crime fiction\, having published sofar three novels set in 9th-century Byzantium.

It remained highly dependent on institutionalized data of this kind in 1940 (and still). This talk takes up as a transnational problem the Mendelian moment of human/medical genetics\, which began about 1908 and faced powerful critiques by 1914. I examine an English medical debate involving William Bateson and Karl Pearson over statistics and Mendelism\, then the controversy over Mendelian factors for \"psychopathic make-up\" and feeble-mindedness identified by friends and allies of the Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor. I finish by analyzing the move from Mendelian genetics to \"empirical hereditary prognosis\" at the German Research Institute for Psychiatry in Munich\, and how this played out during the implementation of the Nazi sterilization law.

The grass brown and parched below. It’s dusty\, faded\, chipped at the edges\, graffiti filling the empty white spaces\, a bullet hole or two visible in the large\, black letters that read: Welcome to Faded Gloryville. Leave your dreams behind. In the eyes and imagination of acclaimed Canadian-Nashvillian singer-songwriter Lindi Ortega it’s a place we’ve all been\, we’re all familiar with or will one day know all too well. And for Lindi\, it was also the source of inspiration—in title and in spirit—for her stunning new collection of country-kissed songs that make up her fourth full-length release. It is an album that is filled with the sights and sounds and souls of those who’ve found themselves in Faded Gloryville\, brought to its saloons\, flophouses and cheap motels by drink\, by debt\, by vanity\, heartbreak\, failure\, fear or misfortune. Lindi's first glimpse of the place\, oddly enough\, was in another artistic vision\, that of the Jeff Bridges film \"Crazy Heart\,\" which depicts a fellow musician exiled in a similar metaphorical town\, down-and-out\, drunk and debasing himself and his talents for those who couldn't care less.“I had a moment where I thought\, ‘Could this be me? Could I wind up like this?’ ” says Lindi. “That was a very honest question to myself.” Nashville Americana duo Smooth Hound Smith opens!

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.

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.

Michael’s mother\, Hildegard Lustig Simon was born in Vienna in 1928. Hildegard and her immediate family fled Vienna following the Anschluss in 1938. They went to Nagykanizsa\, birthplace of her father. Hildegard’s mother died when Hildegard was only 13. She was then deported to Auschwitz in May of 1944\, then soon after was sent to a slave labor camp in Germany. Hildegard was finally liberated from Allach\, a sub-camp of Dachau. Michael’s mother is the sole family Holocaust survivor. Planning “to walk in Hildegard’s footsteps” in 2014\, Michael and Jeremy traveled to Munich\, Vienna\, Budapest\, Nagykanizsa\, Israel and many places between. Michael will use his mother’s Spielberg testimony\, family letters\, historical documents and reflections to recount this story of his mother and his family.\n\nThis is the second lecture in the series of nine Distinguished Lectures.

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.

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 Legal Paradox and Perils of Arab American Identity DESCRIPTION:Overview of Lecture:\nBarry University Law Professor\, Khaled Beydoun will address the Arab American racial paradox in which they are classified by the U.S. census as white\, but racialized as terrorist threats through U.S. policies during the War on Terror. Professor Beyboun will provide a historical overview of the legal construction of Arab American identity\; the governmental interest in reclassifying Arab Americans during the protracted \"War on Terror\"\; and the position Arab American occupy today within broader anti-racist movements and modern civil rights struggles. \n\nShort Biography of Beydoun:\nProfessor Beydoun received his B.A. from the University of Michigan in Political Science and Near Eastern Studies. Since leaving U-M\, he earned a J.D. at UCLA School of Law\, where his focus was on critical race theory and an M.A. at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law\, where his focus was on Islamic Law. He is an Assistant Professor at the Barry School of Law in Orlando\, Florida. His scholarship examines the racial construction of Arab and Muslim American identity\, criminal and national security policing\, affirmative action\, and the intersection of race\, religion and citizenship.

The book also raises provocative questions about the state of criminal justice in America\, and how incarceration affects the individual and communities throughout the nation. The memoir was adapted into a critically-acclaimed Netflix series of the same name by Jenji Kohan.\n\nSince her release\, Kerman has worked to promote the cause of prison and criminal justice reform. She serves on the board of the Women's Prison Association\, which provides preventative services for at-risk women\, works to create alternatives to incarceration\, advocates against practices like shackling during childbirth and offers programs to aid reentry into society.\n\n“We have the biggest prison population in the world\,” Kerman says. “We have the biggest prison population in human history here in the United States…Our prison population has grown from 500\,000 in 1980 to 2.4 million today. It's been massive growth. The fastest-growing segment of our criminal justice system and that prison population has been women. Female incarceration has risen by 800 percent in this country…I believe that we've reached a point in this country where most people are questioning whether we have made the best choices.”\n\nKerman has spoken at the White House on reentry and employment to help honor Champions of Change in the field. She has been called as a witness by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution\, Civil Rights and Human Rights to testify on solitary confinement and women prisoners.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, U-M Law School\, Department of Sociology\, Screen Arts & Cultures\, the School of Social Work\, and the Gerald R.

Yet the reality of the cloud is embodied in thousands of massive data centers\, any one of which can use as much electricity as a midsized town. Even all these data centers are only one small part of the cloud. Behind that cloud-shaped icon on our screens is a whole universe of technologies and cultural norms\, all working to keep us from noticing their existence. In this book\, Tung-Hui Hu examines the gap between the real and the virtual in our understanding of the cloud.\n\nHu shows that the cloud grew out of such older networks as railroad tracks\, sewer lines\, and television circuits. He describes key moments in the prehistory of the cloud\, from the game “Spacewar” as exemplar of time-sharing computers to Cold War bunkers that were later reused as data centers. Countering the popular perception of a new “cloudlike” political power that is dispersed and immaterial\, Hu argues that the cloud grafts digital technologies onto older ways of exerting power over a population. But because we invest the cloud with cultural fantasies about security and participation\, we fail to recognize its militarized origins and ideology. Moving between the materiality of the technology itself and its cultural rhetoric\, Hu’s account offers a set of new tools for rethinking the contemporary digital environment. –MIT Press\n\nTung-Hui Hu\, a former network engineer\, is assistant professor of English at the University of Michigan and the recipient of a 2015 NEA literature fellowship.\n\nMegan Sapnar Ankerson is assistant professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan. Her research and teaching interests involve new media and visual culture\, web history\, software studies\, and media aesthetics. \n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.

As a geographer\, Arbona’s work exposes suppressed narratives in landscapes and spaces.\n\nIn 2010\, Arbona co-founded Demilit\, an experimental landscape arts collective\, with Bryan Finoki and Nick Sowers. Along with various collaborators and curators\, they've created works for the Headlands Center for the Arts\, Deutschlandradio\, and the 2012 New City Reader at the Istanbul Design Biennial. Recent writings include contributions for Volume\, The Funambulist\, The State\, and the exhibition Timing is Everything at the UCSD University Gallery. In this talk\, Arbona will share new research in-progress\, performed through on-foot explorations into urban infrastructure\, surveillance\, and everyday securitization. In their research process\, Demilit uses modes of listening\, walking\, and sensing to detect what they call \"spatial leaks\" into the urban security cloud.\n\nArbona holds a PhD in Geography from the University of California at Berkeley (undertaken with the support of a Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship and a Bancroft Library Award)\, a Bachelor's of Architecture from Cornell University\, and a Master's of Science in Architecture Studies from MIT. Arbona's book manuscript (in-progress) is tentatively titled\, \"The City of Radical Memory: Spaces of Home Front Repression and Resistance in the San Francisco Bay Area.\" \"The City of Radical Memory\" is a study on racial violence and organized forgetting as perpetuated through military shaping of landscapes. At UC Davis\, he co-leads the Militarization Studies Group\, and is collaborating on a new edited journal issue on the theme \"Bases\, Bunkers\, and Ports.\"\n\nThis lecture is part of P+ARG's Emerging Voices Lecture Series. P+ARG is comprised of research students in both Urban and Regional Planning and Architecture. Our main purpose is to enhance the social and academic experiences of research students in the college. \n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

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.

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.

This is a common quandary faced by marginalized and oppressed groups\, but becomes all the more intriguing when explored in the context of representative electoral bodies where all members are presumed to share power. In this talk\, I explore the strategies available to African American women state legislators attempting to access power and the ways these strategies are uniquely reserved for the marginalized. African American women legislators\, like women of color in other positions of authority are challenged when seeking to wield power and influence on their own terms void of the trappings of stereotypical images. Their bounded agency is reflective of their realities as intersectional subjects and reminds us of the parameters of agency in relationship to institutional contexts and structures. \n\nLunch will be provided.

The Value of Labor\, the Science of Commodification\, or \"How Did the Work Unit Get Made?\" DESCRIPTION:In 1949\, the Communist Party of Hungary set itself the task of designing scientific wages\, demonstrating the superiority of socialism over capitalist cronyism and exploitation at work. Within six weeks bureaucrats at the Ministry of Agriculture had worked up an entire matrix of labor value to assess and reward work at cooperative farms. Long assumed to have been adopted from the Soviet kolhoz\, the work unit was in fact based on several decades of agrarian work science that was primarily influenced by German firm studies (Betriebswirtschaft). The paper describes the birth and baby steps of the humble work unit: its initial articulation in agrarian firm studies during the interwar period\, its adoption by socialist bureaucrats\, and its fraught implementation in cooperative farming in the early 1950s.\n\nMartha Lampland is associate professor of sociology and faculty director of Science Studies at the University of California\, San Diego.

These joint exhibitions became the premier “classrooms” for class education in Yunnan province\, instructing as many as a thousand visitors a day. During the 1950s\, cultural workers in Gejiu had authenticated the local truth of Chinese Marxist history by displaying personal stories of capitalist exploitation\, rags worn by miners in the inhumane “old society\,” and drawings of worker uprisings. The exhibitions they created during the Cultural Revolution added historical reenactment as a new technique of political instruction. Historical reenactment primarily took the form of yiku (“recollecting bitterness”)\, narratives about oppression and liberation recited by the elderly. The practice of yiku invoked the older\, powerful practice of suku (“venting grievances”)\, a method of class struggle during the land reforms of the 1940s and 1950s.\n\nWritten renditions and live performances of yiku featured prominently in class education exhibitions\, amplified by the artwork and the display of pre-liberation artifacts. This historical reenactment enjoined visitors to “learn through experience” (tihui) the exploitation\, oppression\, revolt\, and liberation of the Chinese proletariat. The Recollect Bitterness Center even recreated the very time and space of the narrated events. Crawling through an old mine shaft and emerging upright into the light\, visitors to the Center performed the metaphorical choreography of emancipation and its structure of historical memory. This instilment of perceptual knowledge about the nature of classes and the meaning of proletarian revolution produced an embodied understanding of Chinese Marxist history\, interpolated new political subjects\, and incited socialist construction. \n\nImage: Old miner\, Su Wenchang\, recalls his suffering in the \"old society\" at the “Man-Eating Pit” of the Recollect Bitterness Center in Gejiu UID:23837-1425894@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23837 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chinese Studies,Food,Free,History LOCATION:Michigan League - Koessler Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151214T142815 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151014T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151014T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Tyree Guyton: A Thirty-Year Journey DESCRIPTION:The Heidelberg Project is one of the largest\, best-known\, and longest-running site-specific art installations in the country. 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.

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.

Book signing and reception to follow.\nThis event will be live webstreamed. \n\nAbout the book:\n\nAfter two decades of brilliant research on American poverty\, Kathryn Edin noticed something she hadn’t seen since the mid-1990s — households surviving on virtually no income. Edin teamed with Luke Shaefer\, an expert on calculating incomes of the poor\, to discover that the number of American families living on $2.00 per person\, per day\, has skyrocketed to 1.5 million American households\, including about 3 million children. Where do these families live? How did they get so desperately poor? Edin has “turned sociology upside down” (Mother Jones) with her procurement of rich — and truthful — interviews. Through the book’s many compelling profiles\, moving and startling answers emerge.\n\nThe authors illuminate a troubling trend: a low-wage labor market that increasingly fails to deliver a living wage\, and a growing but hidden landscape of survival strategies among America’s extreme poor. More than a powerful exposé\, $2.00 a Day delivers new evidence and new ideas to our national debate on income inequality.\n\nFor more information about $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America\, visit the publisher's website.\n\nFrom the authors' bios:\n\nH. Luke Shaefer is an associate professor of social work and public policy. His research focuses on the effectiveness of the United States social safety net in serving low-wage workers and economically disadvantaged families. His recent work explores rising levels of extreme poverty in the United States\, the impact of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and other means-tested programs on material hardships\, and barriers to unemployment insurance faced by vulnerable workers.\n\nKathryn Edin is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the Department of Sociology\, Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and Department of Population\, Family\, and Reproductive Health\, Bloomberg School of Public Health. She has also taught at Rutgers University\, Northwestern University\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and\, most recently\, Harvard University as a Professor of Public Policy and Management at the Harvard Kennedy School and chair of their Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality and Social Policy. She is a Trustee of the Russell Sage Foundation and on the Department of Health and Human Services advisory committee for the poverty research centers at Michigan\, Wisconsin\, and Stanford. She is a founding member of the MacArthur Foundation-funded Network on Housing and Families with Young Children and a past member of the MacArthur Network on the Family and the Economy. In 2014 she became a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the National Poverty Center and the University of Michigan School of Social Work.\n\nFor more information go to: http://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2015/200-day-living-almost-nothing-america UID:24722-1562950@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24722 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Politics,Public Policy,Social Impact LOCATION:Weill Hall (Ford School) - Annenberg Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150831T103839 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151014T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151014T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Business Through LSA 101: Human Capital Focused Industries — Marketing\, Advertising\, Public Relations\, Human Resources\, Management\, Sales\, and Consulting DESCRIPTION:Advisors from the Newnan Academic Advising Center and the Career Center\, as well as current LSA students who have interned in relevant fields\, describe what it's like to work in various business industries\, the particular skills they require\, and how you can start to develop them.

Most say that the dynamics of international power will determine the future of world politics\, which is why the rise of China is troubling. The character of world order--the values it advances and the issues of contention--matter as much as these dynamics. The domestic systems of countries influence the character of world politics because they shape what issues national leaders pursue internationally. A variety of systems exist in the world today that could serve as models for the governance of countries\; each of which has different implications for the character of world politics and the future of world order.

If you've just now noticed her elegant bearing\, prodigious voice\, and fierce spirit\, you are in for a genre-bending treat\, an evening of musical Americana at its best! On her Nonesuch-label solo debut\, \"Tomorrow Is My Turn\,\" Giddens ranges from Odetta's blazing \"Waterboy\" to a gentle\, ruminative interpretation of Dolly Parton’s “Don’t Let It Trouble Your Mind” and a version of Hank Cochran’s “She’s Got You\,” popularized by Patsy Cline\, that Giddens imbues with an old-timey R&B vibe. \"Tomorrow Is My Turn\" incorporates gospel\, jazz\, blues\, and country\, plus a hint of proto-rock and roll\, and Rhiannon displays an emotional range to match her dazzling vocal prowess throughout. Says folklorist and singer Margaret Bennett: \"Rhiannon is a show-stopper — not only for her glorious voice but also for her incredible versatility. She ranges across many styles and genres\, and is equally at ease singing opera\, blues\, gospel and Gaelic or whatever the moment takes. A rare talent!\" Bhi Bhiman\, who has been called the Sri Lankan Woody Guthrie\, opens.\n\nPresented with support from Susan McClanahan & Bill Zimmerman UID:22959-1417080@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/22959 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Indonesia is the third largest democracy in the world (after India and the U.S.) and is a global model for compatibility of Islam and democratic norms. Since the downfall of Suharto in 1998 Indonesia has managed a transition to democratic government without large-scale violence\, and without the backsliding that has been so common in other states. Most observers consider Indonesia a consolidated democracy. But it is a democracy facing several important challenges. This presentation looks at the strengths and weaknesses of Indonesian democracy through the lens of the 2014 elections that brought President Jokowi to power.\n\nAllen Hicken is a Research Associate Professor at the Center for Political Studies and at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Michigan.

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.

In his autobiographical novel\, Richter recounts the tumultuous events of 1989/90 from the perspective of a 16-year-old growing up in Dresden. Full of wry observations\, pop cultural and political references (and footnoted to boot)\, the novel is doubly relevant today: as the portrait of a generation that came of age in the years around German Unification a quarter century ago\, but also as the excavation of political developments that continue to resonate even today in Germany’s response to the refugee crisis\, and in the political life of the Berlin Republic.\nSince 2012\, Richter has been reporting from New York for the Süddeutsche Zeitung\, one of Germany’s leading newspapers\, about everything from punk rock to the Berlin Philharmonic\, and from sneakers to trigger warnings. He is the author of several books\, including the novel Gran Via (2009)\, and Blühende Landschaften: Eine Heimatkunde (2006).\n\nRichter’s reading from his novel (English summaries will be provided)\, will be followed by a discussion – in English – with Prof. Johannes von Moltke and a Q&A with the audience.

Prior literature has found it challenging to meaningfully account for and causally estimate these general equilibrium effects. I develop a novel general equilibrium model and derive sufficient statistics that capture the economic consequences of a countrywide schooling initiative implemented by the Indian government.

Qur’anic Paradigms and Analogies in Caliphal Rhetoric DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 15. \n\nFrom the earliest years of the Caliphate until today\, Muslim politicians have made strategic reference to the Qur’an in order to persuade audiences of the moral value of particular allegiances\, attitudes\, and actions\, and to imbue their rhetoric with an aura of sacred authority. This lecture draws on examples from early-medieval caliphal politics\, including texts associated with the war between the partisans of `Ali and Mu`awiya (ca. 656-660) and the promulgation of the famous mihna of al-Ma’mun (ca. 833)\, to explain how Qur’anic referencing functions as rhetorical analogy (qiyas) by establishing likeness between paradigmatic character types in the Qur’an and actors in the socio-political milieu. Working from classical Arabo-Islamic rhetorical theories (e.g. al-Farabi and Ibn Rushd)\, the speaker will introduce the two basic classes of rhetorical analogy—the example (mithal) and the enthymeme (?amir)—and explain their operations in Qur’anicized rhetoric and their implications for perceived “universal principles” in the Qur’an—a crucial\, if elusive\, hermeneutical category for many Qur’an exegetes. Analysis of Qur’anic referencing in caliphal rhetoric helps us better understand the practical impact of scriptural hermeneutics on the shaping of Islamic moral ideology.\n\nVanessa De Gifis is associate professor of Islamic studies at Wayne State University\, and author of Shaping a Qur’anic Worldview: Scriptural Hermeneutics and the Rhetoric of Moral Reform in the Caliphate of al-Ma’mun (Routledge\, 2014).

In some ways\, ideas about race are always a set of narratives about who people are and are not. But sometimes these take the form of classic stories with fixed characters\, plots\, and morals\, and are passed on across generations and in multiple genres. The stories surrounding “el Negro Raúl\,” an Afro-Argentine man who rose to fame in early twentieth-century Buenos Aires\, illuminate the special power of narrative\, with its blend of affective and cognitive persuasion\, to shape racial attitudes. Raúl’s life and semi-fictional afterlives\, which commentators construed as oddities in a homogenously white nation\, also shed light on the construction and meanings of dominant racial ideologies in Argentina since the early 1900s. \n\nPaulina L. Alberto (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania\, 2005) is Associate Professor in the Departments of History and Romance Languages and Literatures (Programs in Spanish and Portuguese) at the University of Michigan. She is the author of multiple articles on racial activism and racial ideologies in Latin America (with a focus on modern Brazil and Argentina)\, and of \"Terms of Inclusion: Black Intellectuals in Twentieth-Century Brazil\" (UNC Press\, 2011)\, awarded the Roberto Reis Prize for Best Book in Brazilian Studies (BRASA\, 2012) and the Warren Dean Prize for Best Book in Brazilian History (CLAH\, 2013). She is co-editor (with Eduardo Elena) of \"Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina\" (forthcoming\, Cambridge University Press). Her current book project on Raúl Grigera (“El Negro Raúl”)\, an (in)famous urban figure from early twentieth-century Buenos Aires\, explores the power of racial stories to construct “whiteness” and “blackness” in modern Argentina and to shape individual fates.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

My main research interest is the automatic analysis of human behavior during real-world interactions between human-human and human-machine. In particular my PhD work focuses on developing systems for automatic sensing\, quantification\, and interpretation of an individual’s emotion based on their face and voice during dyadic (two-person) interaction. Any human-human or human-machine interactions evoke and involve affective and social signals\, such as emotion\, social attitude\, engagement\, conflict\, and persuasion. These signals can be inferred from both verbal and nonverbal human behavior\, such as words\, head and body movements\, facial expressions\, tone of voice\, eye gaze\, and turn taking. The signals profoundly influence the overall outcome of interactions\, and hence the understanding of these signals will enable us to build human-centered interactive technology tailored to an individual user’s needs\, preferences\, and capabilities.

(Or Just Teach You Stuff?) DESCRIPTION:Dr. Richard E. Nisbett is the author of \"Intelligence and How to Get It\" and \"Mindware: Tools for Smart Thinking.\"\n\nFor 2500 years\, educators were confident that education not merely taught people useful facts and procedures for solving particular problems\, but made people smarter in general. 20th century psychologists were dubious that there was much “transfer” of abilities taught in the classroom to the infinite variety of problems encountered in everyday life. The debate now centers on what is called “critical thinking skills.” Current evidence that higher education produces much in the way of critical thinking skills is mixed at best. But is college getting a bum rap? Is there a more optimistic story to be told – one more in the line with what thinkers from Plato to Dewey believed? And what would we have to do to be certain that college students were really smarter on the way out than they were on the way in?\n\nThis lecture is part of the Department of Psychology's Exploring the Mind Lecture Series.

Composer John Luther Adams will be in residence for the rehearsals and performance of his Become Ocean\, winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize and the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. This undulating\, contemplative piece for three orchestras has become a phenomenon among audiences and orchestras. The title comes from John Cage’s homage to the music of composer Lou Harrison: “Listening to it we become ocean.” It also refers to the environment as Adams notes in the score: “Life on this earth first emerged from the sea. As the polar ice melts and sea level rises\, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may quite literally become ocean.”\n\nPROGRAM: Mendelssohn- Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage\; Bruch- Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor\, Danielle Belen\, violin\; John Luther Adams- Become Ocean UID:23523-1423987@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23523 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151015T180014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151015T213000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151015T233000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Scrimmage vs. Victory Honda Sr. B DESCRIPTION:Scrimmage before fall break!!

This lecture will consider how belief in the materiality of blood combined with artistic tropes that credit art-making with the formation of living bodies conspired in creating an explanation—both artistic and theological—for the appearance of Christ's corpse on the Shroud. The blood-stained cloth with its image of Christ's body came to be regarded as a residual pictorial record of the Resurrected body\, further enhancing the Shroud's prestige as an object of religious devotion.

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.

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.

This fall she will share excerpts of her company’s premiere work the line between heaven and here with the Department of Dance. The piece traverses the historic and cultural implications of loss within the African American experience\, paying close attention to how black bodies live when they experience death and dying so frequently and often violently. The movement was developed using a question by dance scholar Susan Foster in her essay Choreographies of Protest. In regards to the black bodies in question\, Foster asks: “How have these bodies been trained\, and how has that training mastered\, cultivated\, or facilitated their impulses?” the line between heaven and here works to answer these questions using contemporary modern dance\, text\, and song. \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:24192-1431597@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24192 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Free LOCATION:Dance Building - Betty Pease Studio Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151009T170020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151016T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151016T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Domino's College Recruiting Event @ Global Headquarters DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION SOPHOMORES\, JUNIORS\, SENIORS AND FACULTY!\n\nDomino's will be hosting their second annual College Recruiting Event and would like to invite you to our state-of-the-art global headquarters.

We present real-time response models developed within hours of the event using a simplified Newmark analysis\, which were used to prioritize early scientific efforts and to guide rescue and recovery efforts by US and international agencies. Analyses included prediction of regional landslide occurrence and identification of potential landslide dam locations\, which could cause flooding upstream and downstream if the dam is catastrophically breached. \n Subsequent investigations have included mapping of coseismic landslides using pre- and post- event satellite imagery and field observations\, and inversion of mapped landslide distributions for estimates of near-surface rock strength. Compared to model predictions using regionally uniform rock strength\, observed landslides are more concentrated north of the physiographic transition between the Lesser and Greater Himalaya where hillslope gradients suddenly steepen. Fewer landslides than predicted occurred in the high elevation\, steep glaciated terrain and in areas of highest modeled PGA\, just to the south of this physiographic transition. Discrepancies between model predictions and observations could arise from spatial variability in rock strength\, in PGA or frequency content at specific site locations\, or by pre-conditioning (topographic or otherwise) for landslide hazard. \n Co-seismic landsliding produces a prolonged hazard for years to come. In the near term\, more frequent landslides are expected to occur during the summer monsoon seasons by remobilization of debris and due to a dynamic increase in pore-pressure on hillsides or near ridge tops that were pervasively cracked during the main earthquake or aftershocks\, but did not previously fail. Because larger seismic events are known to occur in the Himalaya\, we anticipate that feedbacks between the seismic cycle and sediment transport influence long-term erosion patterns.

This lecture will consider how belief in the materiality of blood combined with artistic tropes that credit art-making with the formation of living bodies conspired in creating an explanation—both artistic and theological—for the appearance of Christ's corpse on the Shroud. The blood-stained cloth with its image of Christ's body came to be regarded as a residual pictorial record of the Resurrected body\, further enhancing the Shroud's prestige as an object of religious devotion.

For this production\, frontman Bedard will reach back in time to classic modern country singers like Merle Haggard\, Johnny Cash\, George Jones\, and Buck Owens who were peaking at the same time as the Kings of the blues — BB\, Freddie\, and Albert\, and showcase each of their unique music styles\, all on the same stage\, at the same time.\n\nLest you think the Ark will be too crowded with icons of the past\, Bedard is featuring some of today’s most-gifted musicians like special guests Ricky Nye\, the versatile blues\, boogie\, and New Orleans-style pianist from Cincinnati\; Bobby Murray\, award-winning blues guitarist (with Etta James for many years)\, songwriter\, and record producer\; Mark O’Boyle\, pedal and lap steel guitar\; Mark Newbound\, country shuffle drummer (both Marks were with Bedard’s country band “The Bonnevilles” in the 1980s)\, and Patrick Prouty\, bass\, and Rich Dishman\, drums\, of the indomitable Kingpins.\n\n“This train isn’t going to leave the station quietly\,” warns Bedard. The full band will come out like a speeding locomotive to open the show with Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues\,” before throttling back for a solo and some duet songs with O’Boyle\, a couple of instrumentals from “Pickin’ Apart the Past\,” after which Nye and Newbound will drive the first set home with a classic country segment. The second set will begin by featuring three to four of Ricky Nye’s blues and boogie tunes before bringing up Bobby Murray\, when the entire band will kick out a tribute to the Kings of the blues.\n\nHaving been hailed as both a local and national treasure\, Bedard has closed Ann Arbor’s Top of the Park for 25 years\, performed on the main stage for the Food Gatherers fund raiser for 20 years\, and last year took the Kingpins to Honduras to perform as guests of the U. S. Embassy during it’s celebration of U. S. Independence Day. The four-day tour\, part of the Arts Envoy Program sponsored by the U. S. Department of State and local educational and cultural institutions\, also included hands-on teaching performances at schools and orphanages. “We were pleased to have been asked to do this U.S. Embassy Honduras tour\,\" said Bedard. “It gave us an opportunity to spread the American roots music styles to another audience altogether.” UID:23923-1427676@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23923 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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 exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

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.

Lead singer Brian Vander Ark has gone onto a solo career and become an Ark favorite with his songs of family\, love\, and loss. But after being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called \"Calling All Kids\,\" the Verve Pipe reunited to record their award-nominated kids' CD\, \"A Family Album.\" Now the creative spark touched off by those sessions has led to more Verve Pipe music for adults as well. The Verve Pipe has had a reputation for dazzling live shows from the start\, and now they're back\, up close and personal\, at The Ark—with a new album\, \"Overboard\"!
