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.

In part such efforts test ideas of materials and assemblage\, but they operate more so to extend the ideal of design and entail a shift of emphasis from the scope of a singular building to encompass a variety of scales (furniture\, landscape\, and even\, in some cases\, clothing). On display (and in use) within the gallery will be the extended field of the students’ production including: diagrams\, drawings\, models\, images\, furnishings\, and videos...all in service of the design of a \"dream house.” Organized by John McMorrough.\n\nExhibition On-View: November 30 – December 20\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In part such efforts test ideas of materials and assemblage\, but they operate more so to extend the ideal of design and entail a shift of emphasis from the scope of a singular building to encompass a variety of scales (furniture\, landscape\, and even\, in some cases\, clothing). On display (and in use) within the gallery will be the extended field of the students’ production including: diagrams\, drawings\, models\, images\, furnishings\, and videos...all in service of the design of a \"dream house.” Organized by John McMorrough.\n\nExhibition On-View: November 30 – December 20\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

The photographs were featured in De León's new book The Land of Open Graves Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nIn his gripping and provocative debut\, anthropologist Jason De León sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time—the human consequences of US immigration policy. The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.\nJason De León is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan and director of the Undocumented Migration Project\, a long-term anthropological study of clandestine border crossings between Mexico and the United States. His academic work has been featured in numerous media outlets\, including National Public Radio\, the New York Times Magazine\, Al Jazeera\, The Huffington Post\, and Vice magazine. In 2013\, De León was named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer.\n\nMichael Wells has served as the primary photographer for the Undocumented Migration Project since its inception in 2009 and has photographed that project’s ethnographic and archaeological fieldwork in Arizona\, New York\, Mexico\, and Ecuador. A Los Angeles-based photographer\, his work focuses on how people engage with built and natural environments with a unique eye for the materiality of these spaces. He has created photography projects on post-Katrina New Orleans\, the physicality of the US-Mexico border in Southern Arizona and California\, amateur Latino soccer leagues in Los Angeles\, and Latino Communities in the American South. His diverse body of work has been featured in a wide range of media outlets including Architectural Digest\, Archaeology Magazine\, Domus\, Dwell\, Cabinet\, National Geographic\, National Public Radio\, and Textfield.

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.

For high dimensional samples\, the classical approaches for estimating the covariance parameters require highly challenging and massive computations\, such as evaluation of the Cholesky factorization or solving linear systems with a matrix. Recently\, Anitescu et al. proposed a fast and scalable algorithm which does not need such burdensome computations. The main focus of this article is to study the asymptotic behavior of Anitescu's algorithm\, which is usually called inversion-free\, for perturbed regular grids in the increasing domain setting. Consistency\, minimax optimality and asymptotic normality of this algorithm are proved under mild differentiability conditions on the covariance function. However\, applying the inversion-free algorithm on the raw data does not lead to consistency in the fixed-domain asymptotic regime. We propose the split preconditioned inversion-free as a consistent alternative and investigate its connection to MLE and quadratic variation based estimate (proposed by E. Anderes\, 2010).

Contrary to the intuition that risk exposure is detrimental\, we find that residual claimants are able to extract a risk premium\, which increases in risk exposure. Under some circumstances this premium is high enough to actually make it advantageous to bargain over a risky rather than a risk-less pie. The latter effect can be theoretically identified but many behavioral aspects not captured by theory remain. First\, the comparatively less risk averse residual claimants benefit the most. Second\, when given the chance to choose a less or more risky distribution over which to bargain\, residual claimants tend to choose the riskier one only when there is the possibility of an equal-split ex-post. Third\, bargaining frictions increase as risk increases. Our results suggest that theoretical bargaining models require some separation between the determinants of bargaining power and fair compensation for risk exposure.

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.

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).

In part such efforts test ideas of materials and assemblage\, but they operate more so to extend the ideal of design and entail a shift of emphasis from the scope of a singular building to encompass a variety of scales (furniture\, landscape\, and even\, in some cases\, clothing). On display (and in use) within the gallery will be the extended field of the students’ production including: diagrams\, drawings\, models\, images\, furnishings\, and videos...all in service of the design of a \"dream house.” Organized by John McMorrough.\n\nExhibition On-View: November 30 – December 20\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

Monts Hall.\n\nBorn in Detroit\, Joshua Johnson is a senior at the Douglass Academy for Young Men\, located in the historic Woodbridge neighborhood. Johnson began drawing at the age of six\, and over time\, discovered his true calling with the subject matter of the human figure. \n\nAlthough Johnson specializes in pencil drawings\, he has also explored several other medias as well. While he admires the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Diego Rivera\, Johnson’s primary inspiration has been his mother\, Jackie Johnson\, who has supported and critiqued his work throughout his life.\n\nOpen to the general public\, “The Artistry of Joshua Johnson\,” also includes an opening reception on Tuesday\, December 15 from 12-2 p.m. \n\nBesides Johnson’s mother\, special acknowledgements go to the Douglass Academy for Young Men\, Principal Berry Greer\, mentors Terry Strauss and Laverne Rush\, and Julie Taylor\, Associate Professor\, Department of Education\, U-M Dearborn and Volunteer Coordinator of the History\, Art\, and Culture Program at the Douglass Academy.

Know About False Criminal Convictions DESCRIPTION:Until the 1970’s\, it was 
commonly believed that false criminal convictions were rare. That belief has changed due to the huge increases in known exonerations in the United States over the past 25 years. The National Registry of Exonerations now lists 1600+ such cases. More than 20 are added each month. It is clear that the vast majority of exonerations are still not known.\n\nSamuel R. Gross is the Mabel Long Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School. He is the editor of the National Registry of Exonerations. Gross has a JD from the University of California Law School\, Berkeley. His article about exonerations 
appeared in the New York Times of February 4\, 2014. \n\nThis is the fourth lecture in the series of nine Distinguished Lectures. The next lecture will be on January 12\, 2016.

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.

I argue that these mirrors inscribe the gazer within a system of remediation—and\, by extension\, an economy of signification—that renders her body alienable and consumable. A testament to the dream of a unitary\, communist subject\, the model in the mirror paradoxically facilitates a kind of body snatching that gives the lie to the fantasy of inalienability.\n\nLaurence Coderre is a postdoctoral fellow in the study of China at the University of Michigan’s Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. She received a Ph.D. in Modern Chinese Literature from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2015. Her research focuses primarily on the literature and material culture of the Mao and post-Mao periods. She is currently revising a book manuscript on remediation and socialist commodity production in the Cultural Revolution (1966-76). Her recent articles have appeared in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture and Journal of Chinese Cinemas.

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.

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.

In part such efforts test ideas of materials and assemblage\, but they operate more so to extend the ideal of design and entail a shift of emphasis from the scope of a singular building to encompass a variety of scales (furniture\, landscape\, and even\, in some cases\, clothing). On display (and in use) within the gallery will be the extended field of the students’ production including: diagrams\, drawings\, models\, images\, furnishings\, and videos...all in service of the design of a \"dream house.” Organized by John McMorrough.\n\nExhibition On-View: November 30 – December 20\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

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.

Learning from and succeeding the art of ruling of the Park Chung Hee regime\, the 5th republic succeeded in hosting 1986 Asian games and 1988 Olympic games in Seoul as early as 1981. Since then\, a project of the making of a showcase city to show off the ‘Miracle of Han river’ to the whole world has begun. It composed mainly of three urban restructuring plans such as the renewal of the old town area\, comprehensive development of Han river area including Yeouido island\, and intensive development of newly built Yeongdong area. Through ‘the Age of 86·88’\, Yeongdong has transformed into a newly-born heart of Seoul metropolitan area\, Gangnam.\n\nBaek Yung Kim is an Associate Professor in the College of Liberal Arts\, Kwangwoon University in Seoul\, South Korea and is a Visiting Scholar of Department of History in UC-San Diego.

Organized as an extended deliberation on Lauren Berlant and Lee Edelman’s recent book\, Sex\, or the Unbearable\, the lecture reads their collaboration in broader terms than they offer\, linking the institutional\, analytic\, and affective terrain in which their conversation moves. It opens by considering what they most share—a commitment to the value of negativity and nonsovereignty for social theory—before exploring the distinctly different sensibilities they offer\, with Edelman insisting on a negativity born of the death drive and Berlant finding political sustenance in ordinary acts aimed at social change. Plotting these differences\, the lecture ends by delineating what remains irresolvable about queer theory's antisocial debate.\n\nRobyn Wiegman is Professor of Literature and Women’s Studies at Duke University\, where she teaches courses in feminist and queer theory\, U.S. Studies\, and critical race studies.

Their ethereal sounds—dreamy\, sweeping\, highly literate and melancholy—have drawn comparisons to the likes of Cowboy Junkies. Says Leslie Benson of the Dayton City Paper: \"The music of Cincinnati-based folk/roots band Over the Rhine seeps into you with a rich hunger—each note a separate\, glimmering cloud-diamond.\" And someone once described OTR\"s music as a mash-up of spirituality\, whimsy and sensuality (\"thank you\, thank you\, thank you\,\" they say). If you've never heard Over the Rhine\, this is a great time to check them out—their December shows draw on their two superb holiday albums\, which bring renewal and a sense of the season to all.

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.

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).

In part such efforts test ideas of materials and assemblage\, but they operate more so to extend the ideal of design and entail a shift of emphasis from the scope of a singular building to encompass a variety of scales (furniture\, landscape\, and even\, in some cases\, clothing). On display (and in use) within the gallery will be the extended field of the students’ production including: diagrams\, drawings\, models\, images\, furnishings\, and videos...all in service of the design of a \"dream house.” Organized by John McMorrough.\n\nExhibition On-View: November 30 – December 20\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

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.

Transforming the University of Michigan's electricity infrastructure from one that relies heavily on non-renewable fossil fuels to one that relies on renewable electricity sources has far reaching positive consequences for the environment and\, significantly\, allows us to disconnect from the regional grid and become fully​ ​electricity independent. This is the definition of sustainability and moves the conversation beyond shell games of investment portfolios to focus on meaningful change that addresses our largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.\n\nStudents\, faculty\, staff and the local community are invited on December 10 from 12-2 pm in North Quad 2435 to learn from student presentations the details that can allow the University of Michigan to become the first university on Earth to become electricity independent with renewable resources.

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 first\, beginning with the Parisian and London exhibits and concluding with the Viennese Jewish Museum’s opening in 1895\, reflects a growing historical consciousness within the Jewish community that enabled a degree of separation from and an expanded view of the potential meanings of the materials presented. These initiatives were likely informed by Enlightenment ideas as interpreted by Jewish thinkers\, including those of the Wissenschaft des Judentums\, which helped transform Judaism from an all-encompassing way of life to one religion among many in European society\, thereby opening a way for Jews to regard their ritual objects as appropriate material for self-representation in pluralistic societies.\n\nThe second period begins with the transmission of Jewish insights concerning Judaica collecting and display from Europe to the United States by Cyrus Adler\, an observant Jew and Smithsonian Institution official. He established its department of “religious ceremonials\,” acquired works for it\, and used those works to assemble comparative-religion displays for expositions throughout the United States. Adler went on to help reorganize and lead the Jewish Theological Seminary where he created what became the seminary’s “Museum of Jewish Ceremonial and Historical Objects.” From its origin in 1904 through the late 1930s it resembled university teaching and research collections\; but its activities\, including thematic\, ethnographic-style exhibitions and tours for both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences\, indicate more public ambitions. The museum’s proximity to the seminary’s synagogue poses intriguing questions both about the uses of similar ritual objects in the two locations\, one sacred\, the other secular\; and it challenges assumptions regarding secularization and sacralization in museum research.

This high profile case puts front and center—and makes painfully vivid—“deliberate defeminizing.” Treating prisons as a total institution and as a stratifying organization organized around masculinity and heteronormativity\, this research draws on a unique data set on hundreds of transgender women in prisons for men in California and advances a mixed methods analysis that speaks to both suppression and amplification of perceptions of femininity.\n\nValerie Jenness is a Professor in the Department of Criminology\, Law and Society and in the Department of Sociology at the University of California\, Irvine. For the Fall semester\, she is a Senior Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. In addition to her work on prostitution and hate crime\, she has conducted in prison research on sexual assault\, transgender prisoners\, and inmate grievances. Most recently\, she published her fourth book: Appealing to Justice: Prisoner Grievances\, Rights\, and Carceral Logic (with Kitty Calavita). Her research has served as a basis for her work with officials in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation\, the Los Angeles Police Department\, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In this talk\, I will examine the influence of two assembly processes on tropical vertebrate communities across spatial scales: environmental filtering\, which occurs when species are found at the sites to which they are best adapted\, and dispersal limitation\, which occurs when a species that would be able to persist at a site is absent because individuals of the species were limited in their ability to reach the site. Results suggest that while environmental filtering is an important influence at the continental scale\, dispersal limitation is a more important influence on community composition at the regional spatial scale.

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.

Despite the development of mouse models\, pathophysiological mechanisms for these disorders are poorly understood. One particularly devastating channelopathy is Dravet Syndrome (DS)\, a severe childhood epileptic encephalopathy with a high risk of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). DS is typically caused by de novo dominant mutations in SCN1A\, encoding the voltage-gated Na+ channel Nav1.1. Although SUDEP is the most devastating consequence of epilepsy and the leading cause of epilepsy mortality\, astonishingly little is understood about its causes and no biomarkers exist to identify at risk epilepsy patients. Heterologous expression of mutant Nav1.1 channels suggests haploinsufficiency\, raising the question of how loss of sodium channels underlying action potentials produces hyperexcitability. Data from DS mouse models indicate both decreased Na+ current in interneurons\, implicating disinhibition\, and increased Na+ current in pyramidal cells\, implicating hyperexcitability\, depending on genetic background\, brain area\, and animal age. To understand the effects of SCN1A DS mutations in human neurons we derived forebrain-like neurons from two DS subjects by induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming of patient fibroblasts and compared them with iPSC-derived neurons from human controls. We found that DS patient-derived neurons have increased Na+ current density in both bipolar- and pyramidal-shaped neurons. Consistent with increased Na+ current\, both putative excitatory and inhibitory patient-derived neurons showed spontaneous bursting and other evidence of hyperexcitability. Our data provided some of the first evidence that epilepsy patient-specific neurons obtained via the iPSC method are useful for modeling epileptic-like hyperactivity. Because NaV1.1 is also expressed in heart\, a compelling idea is that altered sodium currents in DS cardiac myocytes\, in addition to central neurons\, may lead to arrhythmias and contribute to SUDEP. To test this hypothesis\, we used the iPSC method to derive cardiac myocytes from fibroblasts of DS subjects. Our data suggest that a subset of DS subjects shows abnormal cardiac myoycte sodium currents and excitability. In parallel studies of a DS human mutant SCN1A knock-in mouse model\, we observed spontaneous seizures and SUDEP in the mice\, increased ventricular CM sodium current density\, and ventricular arrhythmias at the time of SUDEP. The goal of our work is to provide a greater understanding of the mechanisms of DS and related diseases that may lead to novel therapeutic agents for epilepsy.\n\nAbout the Speakers\nLori Isom\, Ph.D. and Jack Parent\, M.D. are scientific leaders in understanding the role of mutations in ion channels in epilepsy. They are also co-leaders of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke funded “Center Without Walls” that is designed to investigate sudden death in epilepsy (SUDEP)\, the most devastating complication of the disorder.

The photographs were featured in De León's new book The Land of Open Graves Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nIn his gripping and provocative debut\, anthropologist Jason De León sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time—the human consequences of US immigration policy. The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.\nJason De León is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan and director of the Undocumented Migration Project\, a long-term anthropological study of clandestine border crossings between Mexico and the United States. His academic work has been featured in numerous media outlets\, including National Public Radio\, the New York Times Magazine\, Al Jazeera\, The Huffington Post\, and Vice magazine. In 2013\, De León was named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer.\n\nMichael Wells has served as the primary photographer for the Undocumented Migration Project since its inception in 2009 and has photographed that project’s ethnographic and archaeological fieldwork in Arizona\, New York\, Mexico\, and Ecuador. A Los Angeles-based photographer\, his work focuses on how people engage with built and natural environments with a unique eye for the materiality of these spaces. He has created photography projects on post-Katrina New Orleans\, the physicality of the US-Mexico border in Southern Arizona and California\, amateur Latino soccer leagues in Los Angeles\, and Latino Communities in the American South.

The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

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.

Strongly influenced by classic concepts found in Horton\, Graham\, Ballet\, and Taylor\, the class expands to include challenging extended phrases\, then moves across the floor with jumps and stretches\, and finally choreography encompassing all of the above\, which will be a section from a new solo work Kalivas recently created for one of his dancers titled Ode.\n\n\nEach session features a different guest artist who teaches a masterclass and sections from their repertory—this panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the student’s awareness of what career possibilities are out there. The guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. \n\nIn the final 15-20 minutes faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q and A interviewing each guest artist about their career and what recommendations they have about the transition from student to professional and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects UID:24194-1431599@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24194 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Free LOCATION:Dance Building - Betty Pease Studio Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160121T142547 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151211T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151211T160000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:1st Fridays DESCRIPTION:Feel Good Friday\, but with a twist!

A Plan to Survey our Stellar Neighborhood for Signs of Life DESCRIPTION:The last 20 years has seen an explosion in the number of known planets beyond our Solar System. Recently\, this has included the discovery of a handful of potentially habitable worlds. However\, to test their habitability\, and search these planets for signs of inhabitance\, we require a mission that is designed - from the ground up - with exoplanet characterization in mind. That characterization will take place via anaylsis of spectra from exoplanets\, which will yield inferences on the composition of and mass fluxes from the planet’s surface. Such a mission would face three sets of challenges in technology\, community dynamics\, and science. In this presentation\, we will discuss how future space-based telescopes can overcome the technical challenges\, how NASA’s Nexus for Exoplanet Systems Science is addressing the community dynamics challenges\, and how we can leverage the resulting community to address the science questions.

Five days later Governor Nelson Rockefeller ordered the forcible retaking of the prison. The result was disastrous. For the last 40 years the State of New York has fought hard to close the book on what happened at Attica by sealing records\, by refusing to charge troopers or COs with the crimes they committed during their brutal retaking of the prison\, and by focusing the media’s attention on prisoner misdeeds. Meanwhile\, the prisoners and some of the COs who also suffered the state’s assault on the prison\, fought just as hard to get their story told. Heather Ann Thompson has also spent the last decade trying to tell this story. She has just completed the first comprehensive history of Attica and its legacy for Pantheon Books (out in September\, 2016) and\, in this talk\, she will share this history as well as the various challenges of writing it.

Such a model predicts that acquisition of a new category boundary is facilitated in phonetic contexts which are highly dissimilar to first-language experience. I present results of an experiment that tested this prediction for English-speaking advanced learners of French\, who must recognize the novel category distinction between lead and short-lag voice onset time for word-initial stops in French\, particularly that the unaspirated stop [p] exemplifies the category /b/ in English but /p/ in French. Learners’ were faster to identify word-initial [p] as French /p/ when it preceded a vowel that occurs in French but not in English. This evidence supports the conclusion that representations of phonological categories are not purely discrete and static\, but include information about experienced tokens in phonetic context. Implications will also be discussed for two important models of L2 speech learning and perception: the Speech Learning Model (Flege\, 2007) and the L2 extension of the Perceptual Assimilation Model (Best & Tyler\, 2007).\n\n---------------\nOvert Movement as a Marker of (Ir)realis in Iquito (Marcus Berger)\n\nThe Iquito language is unique among the world’s languages in that it makes a distinction between realis and irrealis clauses with purely syntactic differences\, without differences in overt morphology. Iquito realis clauses display SVO word order\, while irrealis clauses are characterized by an element appearing between the subject and the verb\, yielding SXV(O) word order\, where X can be a variety of syntactic elements. After providing a formal analysis of the basic syntax of Iquito\, I develop an account in which the distinction between realis and irrealis clauses is a result of the verb raising or failing to raise to T(ense) respectively. I argue that this is due to a feature in T which causes the verb to raise in realis structures\, but not in irrealis. This analysis relates in part to Kempchinsky’s (2009) analysis of the subjunctive in Romance languages\, which follows from subjunctive clauses being a subset of irrealis clauses. Finally\, I investigate variations in word order in embedded clauses based on finiteness\, and show that the same variation in surface word order that is indicative of a realis/irrealis distinction in main clauses also captures a finiteness distinction in embedded clauses.

His books include \"Liberalism and the Limits of Justice\" (Cambridge University Press\, 1982\, 2nd edition\, 1998)\, \"Democracy's Discontent\" (Harvard University Press\, 1996)\, \"Public Philosophy: Essays on Morality in Politics\" (Harvard University Press\, 2005)\, and \"The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering\" (Harvard University Press\, 2007)\, and \"Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?\" (Farrar\, Straus and Giroux\, 2009).\n\nSandel’s course \"Justice\,\" which has enrolled over 15\,000 students\, was the first Harvard course to be made freely available online (www.JusticeHarvard.org) and on television\, and has been viewed by millions of people around the world. His other courses include include \"Ethics\, Biotechnology\, and the Future of Human Nature\,\" and \"Ethics\, Economics\, and Law.\"\n\nA recipient of the Harvard-Radcliffe Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Prize\, Sandel has been a visiting professor at the Sorbonne (Paris)\, delivered the Tanner Lectures on Human Values at Oxford University\, and presents an ongoing series for BBC radio called \"The Public Philosopher.\" In 2010\, China Newsweek named him the \"most influential foreign figure of the year\" in China.\n\nIn the U.S.\, Sandel served on the President's Council on Bioethics (2002-2005)\, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. A graduate of Brandeis University (1975)\, Sandel received his doctorate from Oxford University (D.Phil.\,1981)\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.\n\nRelated Links: BBC series: “Michael Sandel: The Public Philosopher” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01nmlh2/episodes/downloads)\n\nReith Lectures: Michael Sandel: “A New Citizenship: 2009”\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01nmlh2/episodes/downloads UID:26160-1935476@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26160 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Economics,Graduate School,Law,Philosophy,Politics,Pre Law,Sociology LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151118T115157 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151211T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151211T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Michael J.

In part such efforts test ideas of materials and assemblage\, but they operate more so to extend the ideal of design and entail a shift of emphasis from the scope of a singular building to encompass a variety of scales (furniture\, landscape\, and even\, in some cases\, clothing). On display (and in use) within the gallery will be the extended field of the students’ production including: diagrams\, drawings\, models\, images\, furnishings\, and videos...all in service of the design of a \"dream house.” Organized by John McMorrough.\n\nExhibition On-View: November 30 – December 20\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

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.
