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.

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.

The long list of artists who have recorded her songs includes Bonnie Raitt\, The Dixie Chicks\, Art Garfunkel\, Edwin McCain\, Trisha Yearwood\, Amanda Marshall\, David Wilcox\, Paul Carrack\, Cher\, Kathy Mattea\, and Mindy Smith -- to name a few. Another fan is Art Garfunkel\, who sums up Sharp's appeal this way: \"In the tradition of great female artists\, Karla Bonoff\, Christine McVie\, Shawn Colvin\, Sarah McLachlan--now enter Maia Sharp.\" Maia comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"The Dash Between the Dates.\" The songwriting of Catie Curtis combines insightful lyrics with addictive melodies and high energy. Catie's recordings and impressive touring career in the U.S. and Europe have earned her rave reviews and wide recognition. Her songs have been featured on numerous television programs and in independent films. Catie\, a former Ann Arborite\, says of her latest album\, \"Flying Drea\,\" that it's \"my current favorite among my 14 recordings! ... It sounds dreamy and emotional\, and\, I think\, beautiful. Kristen Hall (singer/songwriter and founding member of the country band Sugarland) co-wrote most of the songs with me\, produced the recording\, and added tons of great harmonies.\" UID:24806-1577789@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24806 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

From the mid-1960s to the late 1990s\, data mining moved from a disparaged\, dubious sort of statistical work—“fishing” or “dredging”— to become what its practitioners proclaim to be an utterly transformative technology. \n\nAccording to KDD advocates\, traditional scientific approaches to data and the traditional competencies of scientists simply cannot keep up with the volume of data and multidimensionality possible thanks to computers. Something else is needed\, something less pure\, because it deals with the vast impurities of dynamic data that nearly always issues from a particular business\, governmental\, or scientific research goal. Using traditional and digital humanities methods\, I look at how stories of technologically determined emergence were crucial to legitimizng the way data mining is authorizing the loosening and the partial abandonment of the disciplinary and epistemological values of its predecessor disciplines\, statistics and machine learning.

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.

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.

In this presentation\, Michelle presents research explaining why the traditional approach to promoting healthy behaviors sets employees and patients up for short-term rather than sustainable behavior. Integrating behavioral science with positive organizational scholarship\, she will explain how sustainable behavior change\, personal well-being\, and organizational thriving can result from reframing “healthy choices” and self-care with “The Right Whys” (e.g.\, vitality). Come to this session if you want to learn a new science- and practice-based approach for motivating and maintaining healthy behaviors among individuals that concurrently fosters outcomes that organizations desire.\n\nMICHELLE SEGAR\, PhD\, MPH\, author of “No Sweat!

At once lived-in and sophisticated\, the big\, ambitious Baroque pop music of San Fermin feels a lot like real life—charmed\, challenging\, and in the end compulsory.

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.

Fearing that drug ethnographies enabled the ‘ethnographic state’ to reach further into drug-using women’s lives and exacerbate their vulnerability to the state\, I was haunted by the unbearable weight of the historical repertoire of representations. At best\, feminist ethnographers produce realist accounts that can engender the effects of empathy\, authenticity\, reduced social distance\, and\, at best\, contribute to the de-stigmatization of illicit drug use. Yet the War on Drugs has intensified its effects on women\, differentially and at times spectacularly targeting pregnant and parenting women. How are we to make sense of gender and the War on Drugs? Recent feminist ethnographies of the gendered effects of the War on Drugs tell another story\, pointing both to the obduracy of the repository of cultural tropes to which I pointed in Using Women\, and the diversification of them through newly emergent modes of life and representation.\n\nNancy D.

Indeed not only has intensive policing and mass 
incarceration created the conditions that lead to greater street violence in this nation’s already most fragile communities\, but it has also led to new levels of police violence in those same communities. Prof. Thompson will discuss the troubling ways in which 
violence and mass incarceration are linked and suggest the need for a serious policy shift. \n\nDr. Heather A. Thompson is Professor of History\, U of M’s Department of Afro-
American and African Studies. She has a B.A. in History from the University of 
Michigan and a Ph.D. in American History from Princeton University. She is the 
author of several books\, book chapters and numerous articles. She has been a guest speaker at universities throughout the world and was named “Distinguished Lecturer” by the Organization of American Historians.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is \"Violence: Its Roots and Reasons.\" The next lecture will be January 21 entitled \"The Violence of Mass Incarceration: Reform and a \"New Normal?\"?\n\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/programs_activities/lectures/3rd_Lecture_Series.pdf UID:26973-2281683@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26973 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lifelong Learning,Research,Retirement LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150806T134046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160114T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160114T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. 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.

More importantly\, these changes run parallel with new regimes of visibility to represent war in the making: light cameras\, illustrated press design\, newsreels\, and later television\, worldwide migration of images... \n\nAs commonly accepted by historians (see\, for example Susan Sontag’s last book\, Regarding the Pain of Others)\, the Spanish Civil War played an important part in this script as its iconography contributed to fix a considerable number of genres that would never disappear from 20th-20st conflicts.\n\nScarcely six years later\, in the spring of 1945\, astonished audiences would be shocked by similar images\, even though they had achieved an unprecedented degree of inhumanity: columns of refugees\, devastated bodies lying in camps\, civilians in despair hit by air raids... Yet\, the images from the SCW convey a different feeling: regardless of the violence they contain\, these photographs and footage seem surrounded by a mysterious aura. Some press correspondents used the word 'photogeny' to describe this singularity. What does this phrase mean when applied to human affliction and what are their limits?

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, Orthodox Christians to the Grabarka Monastery\, or Catholics to Czestochowa.\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Frances Collins\, Director NIH\, recently highlighted the importance of Matthias’s research in a recent blog post. \n\nhttp://directorsblog.nih.gov/2015/12/15/pursuing-precision-medicine-for-chronic-kidney-disease/\n\nAbstract\n\nChronic kidney disease\, particularly DN\, leads to immeasurable individual suffering\, but also present unprecedented economic challenges to our society. Endstage renal disease costs\, largely driven DN\, consume already more than $42 Billion/year (1.2% of the federal budget of the USA). With the ongoing obesity and diabetes epidemic we can expect\, with a 12-15 year delay\, a tidal wave of DN overwhelming our health care system. We have to use this narrow time window to establish effective therapies to prevent or at least augment diabetic endorgan damage. Innovative approaches are needed\, as DN has not seen any novel therapies introduced over the last two decades. In response to this challenge\, our research team has embraced the concept of Precision Medicine and have established a global research network linked to an analytical systems biology infrastructure at U.Michigan (UM). Over the last 2 decades we have pioneered the study of molecular regulatory programs in human renal tissue to establish a molecular taxonomy of renal disease as a prerequisite for the identification of novel treatment strategies and diagnostic markers. \n\nA critical element was the development of a standardized clinical and sample procurement protocol for integrative –omic analysis in renal disease cohort linked to a robust bioinformatics analysis pipeline I have established in the Applied Systems Biology Core I lead in the UM Kidney Translational Core Center. Sharing our innovative cohort study designs with the key leaders in nephrology allowed us to establish cohort studies for molecular disease definition in Europe (ERCB\, EURenOmics)\, North America (CPROBE\, NEPTUNE)\, China (Joint Renal Institute PKU-UM\, NEPTUNE-China) and sub-Saharan Africa (H3-CKD-Africa). These cohorts capture the genotype-phenotype continuum of renal disease with the goal to define key molecular drivers. Taking advantage of the access to human renal biopsy tissue to study the molecular programs\, our research networks have mapped the intra-renal transcriptional programs in glomerular diseases including early and progressive CKD and DN\, defined murine models recapitulating human DN pathways for target validation\, identified a molecular marker panel for prediction of CKD progression and mapped genetic risk loci of DN into their functional context using a systems genetics approach. Most importantly\, our studies convinced Eli Lilly and Company to test Baricitinib\, a Jak2 inhibitor developed for rheumatoid arthritis\, for treatment of DN\, moving from target identification to successful completion of aPhase II in less than 42 month (Clinicaltrials.gov:NCT01683409)\, a paradigm shift in clinical trials in DN towards personalized medicine in DN. The rich data sets allow to go beyond repurposing towards development of novel therapeutic targets supported by multiple lines of evidence from human studies and animal models. The CDNM is a critical partner in this effort to pursue novel targets identified by our precision medicine approach. Access to the deeply phenotyped observational cohorts around the globe for interventional trials provides the needed infrastructure to rapidly test novel or repurposed compounds in CKD and DN to meet the challenge of this global epidemic in time. \n\nAbout the speaker\n\nThe overarching goal of Kretzler’s research is to define renal disease in mechanistic terms and to use this knowledge for targeted therapeutic interventions. To reach this goal\, Kretzler has developed a translational research pipeline centered on integrated systems biology analysis of glomerular disease. He is the principal investigator of the U54 Nephrotic Syndrome Research Network (Neptune) in the Rare Disease Clinical Research Network II\, the Data Coordinating Center for the UM1 CureGN network\, and the Director of the Applied Systems Biology Core at the O’Brien Renal Center at University of Michigan. Kretlzer has 20 years of experience in integration of bioinformatics\, molecular and clinical approaches in more than 150 collaborative studies on molecular analysis of renal disease.

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

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

Exactly how much warmer\, and the spatial pattern of that warming\, remain under debate due to disagreements between different temperature proxies and model output. I will present new clumped isotope temperature data from the Maastrichtian age (72-66 Ma) and compare it to existing proxy data and new global climate model simulations. The clumped isotope proxy also measures the isotopic composition of seawater (δ18Oseawater)\, a quantity that has not previously been constrained for the Cretaceous and is assumed to be -1‰ in most paleoclimate studies. With this new data we can directly test whether these assumptions are valid. This talk will have three focal points – a global look at equator-to-pole temperature and δ18Oseawater gradients\, a regional study of δ18Oseawater and salinity in the disappearing Western Interior Seaway\, and an in-depth look at climate on the Antarctic Peninsula at the end of the Cretaceous. This last vignette will look at the climate impacts of Deccan Traps volcanism and the Chicxulub meterorite impact event that\, together or separately\, wiped out the dinosaurs and caused the most famous of the “big five” mass extinctions.

India was originally a southern landmass\, interlocked with Australia\, Africa\, Antarctica\, and other Gondwanan landmasses until the middle of the dinosaur era. Some 150 million years ago\, India began its northern migration partially in isolation\, across the equator to contact Asia around 50 million years ago.\n\nTwo profound events shaped India's biota during this northward journey: a lengthy interval of geographic isolation and the aftereffects of the outpouring of the Deccan Trap flood basalts. Geographic isolation of large landmasses tends to produce dramatic examples of endemic floras and faunas such as those of Madagascar and Australia—what were the effects on the Indian biota? The outpouring of the Deccan Trap flood basalts\, whose after-effects may have led to climate change and acid rain\, may have been important in destabilizing ecosystems in the run-up to the extinction of dinosaurs at the end of the Mesozoic. Wilkinson will give some examples of recent biodiversity research in South Asia. Beyond the biology per se\, he will also highlight and discuss obstacles to biodiversity research in South Asia from a historical perspective. Wilkinson suggests that\, at least in some areas\, there are strong indications of substantial advances in science quality associated with the maturation of a new generation of biodiversity scientists.\n\nJeff Wilson is an Associate Curator in the Museum of Paleontology and and Associate Professor in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the evolution of long-necked dinosaurs\, on the vertebrate paleontology of the Indian Subcontinent\, and on fossil tracks and trackways. Jeff's conducts field work in India and Jordan.

It is a complex behavorial hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian \"becoming\"\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavorial traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative \n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nBodies are cultivated through systemic logics that exhibit emergent behavior\, and are examined based on the production of evolutionary traits. Design techniques are set up through the concept of growing self-similar assemblages\, with varied degrees of differentiated characteristics - where surface\, structure and volume are integrated. In its commitment to metamorphosis\, rather than metaphor\, bodies are pushed to the extreme to investigate their full growth capabilities toward a maximum of difference and a hybridization of behavioral conditions.\n\nThe work investigates the development of plastic ecologies that are bred from the evolution of variegated assemblies. Assemblages operate at multiple scales - from the scale of the body\, to skin and surface\, to integrated structural wall systems\, to landscapes to ornament. Bodies fluctuate between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication. Emphasis is placed on multiple acts of translation\, which tend towards contamination. Evolution is sponsored by interferences\, corruptive infiltrations\, and intricate articulation of surface.\n\nAbout Alexandra Neyman\n\nAlex holds both a Master of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. She also attended University of Michigan School of Art and Design.\n\nAlex has a bit over 10 years of professional experience in the field of architecture: ranging from housing projects to libraries and schools to small scale residential remodeling and renovation. She has worked in multiple architectural offices and has taught architecture at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Alex is currently teaching architecture at the Academy of Art University. She also is a founding partner at agglab.\n\nAlex’s experimental research is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic language\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication. The processes developed diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields\, yet are always endowed with material architectural tendencies. Logics are cultivated through systematic processes\, and examined based on the production of evolutionary traits. Formal invention is evaluated through the assembly of design outcomes.\n\nAbout Agg Lab\n\nAgg lab is a San Francisco based interdisciplinary research practice led by Monica Tiulescu and Alexandra Neyman (Taubman alumna).\n\nAgg lab is pursuing generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields. Design is approached through experimental methodologies that are initially influenced by concepts derived from systems thinking and specific observations extracted from basic biological behaviors such as genetic variation.\n\nAgg Lab is interested in the production of non-traditional architectural language\, both formal and methodological\, that is always in a fluctuating state of constant growth and regeneration. The work produces methods for design that in result operate more like species then objects and produce alternative tectonic languages of representation. Tectonics are cultivated through systematic logics\, and examined based on the production of evolutionary traits. Formal invention is evaluated through the assembly of design outcomes.\n\nDesign techniques are set up through the concept of growing self-similar assemblages with varied degrees of differentiated characteristics. These are imbued with logics extracted from organic systems. Explicit Behaviors are displayed in highly articulated and distinctive formal conditions at the local and global level. The logic for establishing formal and continuous seeming relationships\, is contingent upon generating autonomous procedures.\n\nExhibition opening to follow at the Liberty Annex (305 W.

Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\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. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.
