Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art. Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art. Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center.

Stories of Mothers Lost\, an exhibit of handmade quilts from around the world now on display in Lane Hall\, memorializes some of these women.\n\nThe exhibit was initiated by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA)\, a non-profit membership based organization\, whose goal is to reduce rates of maternal and child mortality. The initiative to obtain these stories was made possible by a United Nations Population Fund grant to the WRA. Following a global call\, there was an overwhelming response of 120 panels from 46 organizations. Stories of Mothers Lost - a collection of internationally sourced\, hand crafted panels commemorating mothers lost – allows families to express grief and also plays a powerful role as a mechanism for advocacy and communication on an issue that transcends country borders and impacts us all. \n\nStories of Mothers Lost is supplied by the UM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Program in Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice. The exhibit is hosted by the Women’s Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nStories of Mothers Lost is in Lane Hall through December 11\, 2015.

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.

Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us. I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth? What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries? Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another. A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed.

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.

Stanton Collegiate Professor of French\, Women's Studies\, and Comparative Literature\, University of Michigan\n\n\"Dancers as Diplomats\" chronicles the role of dance and dancers in American cultural diplomacy. In the early decades of the Cold War and the twenty-first century\, American dancers toured the globe on tours sponsored by the US State Department. These tours shaped and sometimes re-imagined ideas of the United States in unexpected\, often sensational circumstances--pirouetting in Moscow as the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded and dancing in Burma shortly before the country held its first democratic elections.\n\nBased on more than seventy interviews with dancers who traveled on the tours from the early decades of the Cold War through the post 9/11 era\, the book looks at a wide range of American dance companies\, among them New York City Ballet\, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater\, the Martha Graham Dance Company\, Urban Bush Women\, ODC/Dance\, Ronald K.

Bubbles are pervasive\, in contrast with previous studies with flat values induced by a balanced mix of positive and negative dividends. Forecasts trail share prices as they rise and exceed prices as they fall. Subjects are sorted by gender\, and bubbles generally start slowly with females\, but end up being as large as in all-male markets. This no-difference pattern differs from strong gender effects previously observed in markets with declining fundamental values.\n\nCharles Holt is the A.

ASL interpretation will be provided.\n\nAbout the book: \n\n\"In 'This Changes Everything' Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities\, re-imagine our broken democracies\, and rebuild our gutted local economies. She exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers\, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers\, and the tragic defeatism of too many mainstream green initiatives. And she demonstrates precisely why the market has not—and cannot—fix the climate crisis but will instead make things worse\, with ever more extreme and ecologically damaging extraction methods\, accompanied by rampant disaster capitalism.\" \n\nThis event is presented by the U-M Institute for the Humanities with additional support from the U-M Gerald R.

Towards a New Typology of Modern and Contemporary Mosques in Europe DESCRIPTION:This talk investigates the historical rise of a new kind of religious architecture since the late nineteenth century in the West\, namely the purpose-built mosque. It will examine the architecture and meaning of the modern mosque in Europe\, including Turkey\, to show how it encapsulated cultural and political agendas\, in addition to religious ones. It will provide a typology of the European mosque set into a wide range of comparative contexts\, including debates originating in the Middle East. Dealing with the connections between religious architecture and politics with a broad geographical focus\, the talk will also investigate how nationalism and globalization shaped the views and tastes of architects\, patrons\, and users involved in negotiating these building ventures. Drawing on a range of designs and constructions\, the talk will demonstrate the adaptable and dynamic nature of the modern and contemporary mosque and provide a more accurate historical sense of its trials and tribulations. \n\nPart of the European Mosque series\, jointly sponsored by the Center for European Studies and Islamic Studies Program\, which focuses on the mosque and its place in the European landscape. What cultural and social role does the mosque play for Muslims in Europe? How do European mosques blend traditional Islamic and modern European architectural features\, and traditional preaching with modern technology? What is unique about the European mosque\, and how does it shape the lives of European Muslims?

The move toward musical theater from 1669 until his death in early 1673 demonstrates that Molière was most interested in developing this area. Spectacle came to the fore as essential\, not marginal\, to dramatic effect. Virtuoso acting\, a huge range of musical effects\, unusual costuming\, brilliant staging\, along with several other innovations were vital to this endeavor\, which constitutes a revolutionary form of dramaturgy\, forgotten after Molière’s death. This lecture redresses the traditional focus on just one of the genres that Molière practiced. Video and musical clips will illustrate key points in the central argument: in the early modern period\, Molière spearheaded the invention of a remarkably modern total-spectacle dramaturgy.

Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art. Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center.

Stories of Mothers Lost\, an exhibit of handmade quilts from around the world now on display in Lane Hall\, memorializes some of these women.\n\nThe exhibit was initiated by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA)\, a non-profit membership based organization\, whose goal is to reduce rates of maternal and child mortality. The initiative to obtain these stories was made possible by a United Nations Population Fund grant to the WRA. Following a global call\, there was an overwhelming response of 120 panels from 46 organizations. Stories of Mothers Lost - a collection of internationally sourced\, hand crafted panels commemorating mothers lost – allows families to express grief and also plays a powerful role as a mechanism for advocacy and communication on an issue that transcends country borders and impacts us all. \n\nStories of Mothers Lost is supplied by the UM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Program in Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice. The exhibit is hosted by the Women’s Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nStories of Mothers Lost is in Lane Hall through December 11\, 2015.

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.

Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us. I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth? What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries? Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another. A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

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!

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.

Such figures have tended to be identified in works of the late Mao era\, also known as the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976)\, rather than in the earlier\, more prolific periods of Maoist cultural production. By examining the three most popular dance dramas of the pre-Cultural Revolution era—Magic Lotus Lantern (1957)\, Five Red Clouds (1959)\, and Dagger Society (1959)—I challenge conventional claims about the socialist heroine in Maoist China\, by showing leading women that enact “feminine agency”: political empowerment performed through conventionally gendered female bodies.\n\nEmily Wilcox is assistant professor of modern Chinese studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. Her current book project\, “National Movements: Socialist Postcoloniality and the Making of Chinese Dance\,” was the recipient of a 2014-15 American Council of Learned Societies national research fellowship. Her other current projects include a co-edited anthology Dancing Global East Asia and a digital humanities collection “Pioneers of Chinese Dance\,” co-directed with Liangyu Fu of the University of Michigan Asia Library. Emily's past publications appear in \"Asian Theatre Journal\,\" \"TDR\,\" \"CHINOPERL\,\" and other venues\, and she has forthcoming articles in \"positions: asia critique\" and \"Journal of Asian Studies.\" Emily is a board member of the Society for Dance History Scholars and president-elect of the Association for Asian Performance.

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.

He's a champion yodeler\, a wit to match the standup world's best\, a guitarist with a unique style (a southpaw\, he plays a right-handed guitar upside down)\, and a musician with a gift for instantly memorable tunes that are liable to turn into singalongs at any time.

Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art. Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center.

While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual.

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.

Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us. I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth? What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries? Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another. A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

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

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!

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.

The Symbolic Economies of Postsocialist Nationalism in Hungary DESCRIPTION:The presentation explores the intersections between markets and new forms of nationalism in contemporary Hungary by looking at the manufacturing\, sale\, and consumption of radical nationalist commodities and services. It argues that the increasing right-wing radicalization of Hungarian politics and the growth of “uncivil” publics have been fueled by an expanding industry that effectively commodifies these sentiments. The analysis focuses on four key areas of radical nationalist cultural production: book publishers that specialize in printing and disseminating nationalist literature\; heritage tourism to neighboring countries (especially to Transylvania\, Romania) that aims to build bridges to diaspora Hungarians and sustain the idea of a Greater (pre-1918) Hungary\; national rock bands that have codified a new\, economically successful genre of political popular music\; and clothing brands that market explicitly nationalist fashion items. By tracing the symbolic economies of new forms of radical nationalism\, I highlight an important dimension of everyday nationalism. This analytical lens helps to demonstrate that contemporary right-wing radicalism is not a codified political ideology but a more fluid subculture in which expressive symbols\, material objects\, rituals\, everyday consumption and lifestyle patterns are essential carriers of political convictions and markers of group boundaries. These symbolic economies also contribute to reconfiguring the boundaries between politics and the public sphere allowing radical nationalist discourse to penetrate mainstream political discourse.\n\nVirág Molnár received her Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton University and is currently associate professor of sociology at the New School for Social Research. Her research explores the intersections of culture\, politics\, social change and expert knowledge with special focus on urban and political subcultures and the symbolic politics of the built environment. She has written about the relationship between architecture and state formation in socialist and postsocialist Eastern Europe\, the post-1989 reconstruction of Berlin\, and the new housing landscape of postsocialist cities. Her first book\, Building the State: Architecture\, Politics and State Formation in Postwar Central Europe\, received the 2014 Mary Douglas Prize for Best Book in the Sociology of Culture from the American Sociological Association.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?

Direct exposure to the evolution of objects remains fundamental to work within the design system\, but passing from an empirical to a strategic knowledge of design languages requires a specific understanding of the ways in which the different aesthetics embodied in objects refer to the cultural meanings underlying them. With this in mind\, the talk provides a guide to the “grammar” of design languages\, with an emphasis on the contemporary scene\, so as to aid design professionals in their passage from being merely familiar with the aesthetics of objects to being able to understand and use such aesthetics strategically.\n\nAbout Stefano Caggiano\n\nStefano Caggiano is a design critic with an emphasis on design languages. Graduated both in Philosophy and Product Design\, he writes on a regular basis for the Italian and international leading design magazine “Interni” and works as a visual culture researcher with the trend consultancy society NextAtlas. He also teaches as a contract professor in several Italian design universities\, including NABA in Milan and the Faculty of Design and Art at the Free University in Bozen. He’s author of many articles on furniture and product design trends and of the ebook “Design Languages”.\n\nThis talk is free and open to the public.\n\nPresented in collaboration with Cranbrook Art Museum.

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.

He will be the third U-M President to give this address. \n\nIn 1996 the Waggoner lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner\, emeritus professor and past chairman of the department of psychiatry\, who throughout his career and to all who knew him\, exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics. Dr. Schlissel most worthily epitomizes the spirit and purpose of the Lectureship.\n\nThe esteemed lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the University of Michigan medical center and to the profession\, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.\n\nAdditional information regarding the details of the lecture will be available as the date approaches.

Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art. Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center.

Stories of Mothers Lost\, an exhibit of handmade quilts from around the world now on display in Lane Hall\, memorializes some of these women.\n\nThe exhibit was initiated by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA)\, a non-profit membership based organization\, whose goal is to reduce rates of maternal and child mortality. The initiative to obtain these stories was made possible by a United Nations Population Fund grant to the WRA. Following a global call\, there was an overwhelming response of 120 panels from 46 organizations. Stories of Mothers Lost - a collection of internationally sourced\, hand crafted panels commemorating mothers lost – allows families to express grief and also plays a powerful role as a mechanism for advocacy and communication on an issue that transcends country borders and impacts us all. \n\nStories of Mothers Lost is supplied by the UM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Program in Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice. The exhibit is hosted by the Women’s Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nStories of Mothers Lost is in Lane Hall through December 11\, 2015.

Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us. I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth? What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries? Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another. A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

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.

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.

Engulfed in a deepening agricultural crisis that includes an acute shortage of farm successors (kokeisha)\, many farmers are now rebelling against the traditional agricultural cooperative system and learning how to adapt to market signals. Meanwhile\, the country’s notoriously powerful farm lobby is losing influence in the wake of electoral reform\, declining commodity prices\, and more open markets. As a result of these changes\, new opportunities have opened up for proactive prime ministers to engage in unprecedented market-oriented reform. I illustrate these points with evidence from recent fieldwork and with reference to the August 28\, 2015 passage of coop reform legislation.\n\nPatricia Maclachlan is associate professor of government and Asian studies and the Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Professor of Japanese Studies. She received her Ph.D. in political science and Japan studies in 1996 from Columbia University and spent one year as a research associate in the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations at Harvard University. Maclachlan teaches courses on Japanese politics and foreign policy\, East Asian political economies\, and the international relations of the Asia Pacific.\n\nProfessor Maclachlan is the author of The People's Post Office: The History and Politics of the Japanese Postal System\, 1871-2010(Harvard University Asia Center\, 2011)\; Consumer Politics in Postwar Japan: The Institutional Boundaries of Citizen Advocacy(Columbia University Press\, 2002)\; and a co-editor of and contributing author to The Ambivalent Consumer: Questioning Consumption in East Asia and the West (Cornell University Press\, 2006). She has also written several articles and book chapters on consumer-related issues in Japan and the West\, Japanese civil society\, and on Japanese postal reform.

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.

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.

However\, most women are unaware that\ninconsequential disease can also be detected by screening\, leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. We aimed to investigate whether including information about overdiagnosis of breast cancer in a decision aid would help women aged around 50 years to make an informed choice about breast screening. Women (n=879) aged 48-50 were randomised to 1 of 2 decision aids. Both booklets presented evidence based information on key screening outcomes (breast cancer mortality benefit and false positives)\; 1 booklet also included overdiagnosis information. Study outcomes included informed choice (knowledge\, attitudes and intentions) decisional conflict\, anxiety\, worry\, anticipated regret and acceptability of the decision aid. Implications for the effective communication of overdiagnosis in screening and the development of optimal strategies for future information delivery will be discussed.

Warren\, MD is founder and medical director of the Center for Menopause\, Hormonal Disorders & Women’s Health\, Columbia University Medical Center\, and Wyeth professor emeritus of obstetrics/gynecology & medicine.\n\nDr. Warren is an early pioneer of the effects of eating disorders and athletics on the menstrual cycle and was the first to identify skeletal problems\, including scoliosis and stress fractures that occur in young women as a result of menstrual irregularities. \n\nABSTRACT: It has been known since the time of Darwin that nutrition is essential for normal reproduction. The Female Athlete Triad is an entity\, which has been well described\, in physically active women and lean athletes engaged in activities requiring high energy. Reproductive cycles cease\, bone loss or osteoporosis may develop and restrictive eating or eating disorders are common. The etiology of this triad appears to be due to metabolic adaptation to a low energy state triggered by a deficit in energy intake that is uncompensated. Multiple metabolic adaptations occur with the most clinically obvious being the amenorrhea. Although the reproductive dysfunction is reversible\, silent changes occur\, in particular bone loss. Recent studies suggest that the weight gain\, which is sometimes necessary for reversal of the syndrome\, favors visceral fat deposition. Bone changes are unique and\, contrary to previous dogma\, is related to poor nutrition and do not reverse with hormone therapy. These changes have powerful implications for midlife health.\n\nAbout the MaryFran Sowers Memorial Lecture:\nThis special lecture has become a biennial event at the School of Public Health in honor of the late Dr. MaryFran R. Sower’s (1947-2011) extraordinary scientific contributions to the field of women’s health and to inspire young scholars to transcend the boundaries between varying fields of research to advance women’s health.

Here I investigate how shocks in utero and in childhood a ffect human capital formation\, and to what extent their experience at certain developmental stages matters more than others. I focus on violent conflicts that constitute multidimensional shocks to the well-being of many households in developing countries. Using monthly and municipality-level variation in the timing and severity of massacres in Colombia from 1999 to 2007\, I show that children exposed to sudden changes in violence in utero and in childhood achieve lower height-for-age (0.11 SD)\, cognitive (PPVT falls by 0.15 SD and math reasoning and general knowledge fall by 0.19 and 0.16 SD)\, and socio-emotional outcomes (adequate interaction falls by 0.04 SD)\, and these results are robust to controlling for mother fixed-effects. Furthermore\, I explore changes in parental investments as potential mechanisms\, finding that changes in violence during a child's early-life is associated with lower quantity and quality of parenting. This is one of the first studies to investigate the e ffects of early-life violence on child cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes in a developing country and the first to investigate the role of parenting as a potential channel of transmission in a violent setting.

DESCRIPTION:Sue Smith\, Vice President\, League of Women Voters of Michigan\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nPaul and Nancy O’Neill Classroom (1230)\, Weill Hall\nGerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n\n\nDescription: \nThe League of Women Voters of the Ann Arbor Area will host an educational Town Hall on redistricting. The presentation will explore how legislative lines are drawn in Michigan\, who draws them and why it is a critically important question for those concerned about fair representation. \n\nIn Michigan\, district lines are drawn by elected officials in the legislature\, effectively allowing politicians to choose their voters and giving the political party in power at the time a tremendous advantage. What are the ramifications of partisan drawn districts that favor one party over another? Is there a better and fairer way to do this? What are the alternatives?\n\nThe U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision on Arizona’s Independent Restricting Commission said there is an alternative and that citizens\, not just politicians\, have the right to decide how Congressional district lines are drawn. The decision has grabbed the public’s attention. Some have asked if Michigan\, like Arizona\, should use an independent commission to draw the lines\, not only for the Congressional Districts\, but for the State House and Senate\, as well. This alternative and others will be presented at the Town Hall. \n\nSponsored by:\nLeague of Women Voters of the Ann Arbor Area\nLeague of Women Voters of Michigan\n\n \nCo-Sponsors: \nCenter for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) \nGerald R.

Based on eight years of fieldwork at the Fresh Start shelter\, Cox shows how the shelter's residents—who range in age from fifteen to twenty-two—employ strategic methods she characterizes as choreography to disrupt the social hierarchies and prescriptive narratives that work to marginalize them. Among these are dance and poetry\, which residents learn in shelter workshops. These outlets for performance and self-expression\, Cox shows\, are key to the residents exercising their agency\, while their creation of alternative family structures demands a rethinking of notions of care\, protection\, and love. Cox also uses these young women's experiences to tell larger stories: of Detroit's history\, the Great Migration\, deindustrialization\, the politics of respectability\, and the construction of Black girls and women as social problems. With Shapeshifters\, Cox gives a voice to young Black women who find creative and non-normative solutions to the problems that come with being young\, Black\, and female in America.\n\nThis program is free\, and open to the public.

They shared a language\, Arabic\, which they spoke in daily life and which they also used for their theological\, philosophical\, legal and scientific writings. Moreover\, they often read the same books\, so that a continuous\, multidimensional exchange of ideas\, texts\, and forms of discourse was the norm rather than the exception. While this has been amply demonstrated\, especially for the 9th through 12th centuries CE\, scholars usually opt for a one-dimensional approach with an (often exclusive) focus on either Muslim\, Jewish or Christian authors and their writings. In all three fields and for a variety of reasons\, the scholarly investigation of the so-called rational sciences beyond denominational borders is still in the beginning phase. By drawing on a number of case studies (based on manuscript material taken from the still mostly unexplored Abraham Firkovitch collection in Saint Petersburg\, Russia)\, it will be shown that the intellectual life of Muslims\, Christians and Jews was closely connected throughout the centuries—an intellectual whirlpool that touched Muslims\, Christians and Jews alike.\n\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires accommodation to attend this event\, please contact Patrice Whitney (pwhitney@umich.edu) at least three weeks in advance of this event.

Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player\, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country\, jazz\, folk\, rock\, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing\, though\, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.

Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art. Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center.

The initiative to obtain these stories was made possible by a United Nations Population Fund grant to the WRA. Following a global call\, there was an overwhelming response of 120 panels from 46 organizations. Stories of Mothers Lost - a collection of internationally sourced\, hand crafted panels commemorating mothers lost – allows families to express grief and also plays a powerful role as a mechanism for advocacy and communication on an issue that transcends country borders and impacts us all. \n\nStories of Mothers Lost is supplied by the UM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Program in Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice. The exhibit is hosted by the Women’s Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nStories of Mothers Lost is in Lane Hall through December 11\, 2015.

In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter.

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.

Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us. I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth? What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries? Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another. A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed.

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!

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.

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.

The title and abstract of his presentation are given below.\n\n\"Segmental Contrast in Bái\"\nMy dissertation is titled Phonological Contrast in Bái and focuses on three aspects of synchronic Bái phonology: the phonemic status of the pre-nuclear glides\, variation in the nine vowel categories across dialects\, and the ongoing contrast reduction in the tone system. In this talk I focus on the first two aspects which I argue are closely interrelated. The motivation behind this work is to interpret prior descriptions as continuum of the possible phonemic variation found across dialects of the same language. Although these prior descriptions are typically impressionistic and devoid of phonological architecture\, I show that Bái phonemics is best understood with reference to syllable structure in a model much like Yi & Duanmu 2015 for Lanzhou Chinese. This approach assumes fewer phonemes than all previous descriptions\, accounts for generalizations across several morpho-phonological processes that were not properly addressed in earlier work\, and explains why certain syllables do not occur. Additionally\, I present two innovative patterns in the vowel systems of certain dialects of Southern Bái with acoustic measurements. The implications of these patterns are discussed in relation to Labov 1994.

Interact directly with scholars of urban history and postwar street culture as you explore how postwar architecture not only changed Tokyo physically but reflected Japanese attitudes toward the past and the future. See firsthand how neighborhoods such as Shinjuku allowed the formation of alternative civic spheres and how places like Yasukuni Shrine became contested “sites of memory” for the war. Witness how Hiroshima and other populations subjected to atomic bombing have been memorialized and marginalized since 1945.\nGCC Japan—Doing Environmental History in Japan: Study how the Japanese understand the natural world and how these views have changed under the pressures of modernity. Visit current and memorial sites of major pollution disasters\, interact with the green legacies of historic forestry practices\, and observe firsthand the “natural metabolism” of a global megacity. Encounter cutting-edge initiatives in food production and distribution. A joint class session\, field trips\, and a symposium with peers at Waseda University will facilitate intellectual exchange with students and scholars working on issues of environmental education\, ethics\, and natural resource management.

Dress was charged with meaning through the designations of color\, cut\, and embroidered symbols. Within this rank and clothing conscious context\, traditional theatre costumes absorbed this language of design emphasizing garments for the identification of characters. Actors\, being considered from the lower status of society\, were not allowed to wear replications of actual court dress\, and over generations\, stage costume evolved to combine the historical motifs with theatrical expression to create a unique hybrid of dress. The costumes are conventionalized\, being used consistently from troupe to troupe to communicate specific role types to the audience. The clothing in this traditional performance style does not project time period\, location\, or season\, nor is there a costume designer responsible for devising the look of each production. Instead\, each company amasses their own collection of costumes that can be used for any story\, historical battles or domestic dramas\, and each garment is linked to specific roles through the selection of form\, fabric color\, and embroidered details. Every role type can therefore be identified visually by their clothing and makeup before they utter any dialogue. The extravagantly colored and embellished costumes\, along with elaborately evocative face painting and glittering headdresses\, reflect the richness of the imperial courts\, heightened though theatrical invention to breathtaking beauty.\n\nPhoto courtesy by Alexandra Bonds UID:23839-1425896@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23839 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chinese Studies,Free,Visual Arts LOCATION:Michigan League - Koessler Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151121T123008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151106T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151106T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Career Panel for Students with Disabilities DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel highlighting professionals and students with disabilities who will share their stories\, learnings and insights from their career experiences.

Like the songs of Woody Guthrie\, they're becoming part of America.\" Tom Paxton has been a prime influence on other songwriters since he emerged in Greenwich Village in the 1960s\, including some you might expect (Holly Near) and some you might not (Guy Clark). At 77\, he's still writing lots of songs\, many so topical that they never make it onto his albums—you have to come to his shows to hear them. Tom once listed his influences as Pete Seeger\, Woody Guthrie\, Bob Gibson\, Burl Ives\, Tom Lehrer\, and Mississippi John Hurt\, but even that motley collection doesn't quite encompass the man and his music. On a recent Grammy telecast Tom received a Lifetime Achievement Award\, but he's not resting on those or any other laurels\, and he always brings something new each time he comes to Michigan. In fact\, he's coming to Michigan with a new album\, \"Redemption Road.\" Tom has said that his current tour will be his last\, so don't miss the chance to experience a folk legend.

Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art. Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries. The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library. \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center.

Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

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.

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!

In 2013 he gave a TEDx Talk about job satisfaction. Recently on a tour of Europe\, SK (as fans often referto him) made a detour to play the Middle East\, Africa and an aircraft carrier for the Armed Forces. Upon returning to the USA\, he started his annual lyric writing campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer. At first glance none of this has anything to do with his music\, but Stephen Kellogg would argue\, “it is the whole story. The music I make is a reflection of how I spend my time and what I care deeply about.” His Americana-tinged\, sometimes folk\, often rock\, occasionally pop stylings can make Kellogg hard to define\, and his most recent four-part album “South\, West\, North\, East” embraces the notion of genre-splitting to the fullest. Songwriter Brooks Hubbard opens.
