DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

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.

Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\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.

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.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

In this talk\, Dr. Musen will discuss how formal modeling of ontologies has supported diverse projects\, from offering clinical decision support for chronic disease to ensuring that biomedical research data are findable\, accessible\, interoperable\, and reusable. The functionality offered by such systems is essential for building learning health systems at scale.\n\nWork in biomedical informatics—whether it is intended to offer clinical decision support\, to infer new knowledge from electronic health records\, or to aid biomedical discovery—requires computational systems that encode models of the application areas in which they operate. Often\, those models are implicit in the computer code that programmers develop. When those models can be made explicit—and editable—the models not only make our information technology more scalable and adaptable\, but also they enable developers to document their assumptions about the domain and to reuse the models to create new technologies. In this talk\, Dr. Musen will discuss how formal modeling of ontologies has supported diverse projects\, from offering clinical decision support for chronic disease to ensuring that biomedical research data are findable\, accessible\, interoperable\, and reusable. The functionality offered by such systems is essential for building learning health systems at scale.

The class was initially conceived of as an opportunity for the men to study the history of photography and the power the image has in shaping our understanding of the world. But the class transitioned into a different experience where the men began to engage with the photographic image and use it as a catalyst to explore and define the mostly hidden lives of those who are incarcerated. Poor will discuss her work and the collaborative projects with the men at San Quentin Prison.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama.

When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity.

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.

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\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\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.

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.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

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.

There have been calls for more drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) prevalence studies yet only 8.3% of the population in high burden countries live in regions with at least two data points to estimate trends. We develop an innovative\, low-cost method for estimating disease prevalence that relies solely on routinely-collected data from diagnostic laboratories\, provides continuous surveillance and accounts for under-detection. We use TB test result data from South Africa’s National Health Laboratory Service\, which includes test records from over 11 million patients\, to estimate the prevalence of MDR-TB between 2004-2011. We develop a theoretical model of the clinician’s decision to perform drug susceptibility testing and use a simulated maximum likelihood estimation (SMLE) method and a method of simulated moments (MSM) to estimate model parameters. We estimate that at least one-third of MDR-TB cases went undiagnosed between 2004-2011. The MDR-TB rate in South Africa could be as high as 3.29 - 3.37% and the official World Health Organization estimate of 2.5% based on notification rates is therefore too low. We find that clinician behavior in the province of Mpumalanga is consistent with a sub-optimal approach of MDR testing only after observing the failure of first-line drug therapy. These findings highlight the need for investment in early detection of MDR-TB and more effective treatment. Using routinely collected data to monitor population prevalence rates is an effective low-cost strategy to guide health policy in low resource settings UID:28931-2904424@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/28931 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,History,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160216T120018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160216T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160216T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Affirmative Action Debate DESCRIPTION:This year\, Fisher v.

University of Louisville College of Business Associate Professor Ryan Quinn explores the opportunities and challenges of this kind of learning. Quinn shares research that helps us see what works and guides the audience with tools designed to facilitate learning from success. By using tools like these\, we can create new possibilities for ourselves and our organizations\, and never stop getting better.\n\nRYAN QUINN is an Associate Professor at the University of Louisville’s College of Business.

As Shawn says: \"Unless a song moves you\, it doesn't matter what you do with it.\" Born in Vermilion\, South Dakota\, and raised in part in Illinois and Ontario\, Shawn was already a well-traveled and seasoned performer by the time she won her first Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album with her debut\, \"Steady On\,\" in 1989. In the decades since\, Shawn has released a string of superlative albums and established an enduring reputation as one of America’s great live performers. Her lasting appeal is due in part to her willingness to lay herself bare coupled with a dry wit. \"The title 'Uncovered' has a few meanings\,\" Shawn explains. \"It means uncovering as in an excavation\, and uncovered in the sense of vulnerability. This album was made very spontaneously\, we didn't over-think or overdub it. One of my friends said to me\, 'You sound so exposed on this record!' and I think that's the thematic key\, vulnerability.\"\n\nDinner & Show package ($65) available: Includes dinner at Café Felix (Prix Fixe Menu with an Amuse-Bouche to start followed by three different options of appetizers and three options of entrees) and seating held at The Ark for the show.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity.

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.

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\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\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.

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.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

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 uneven supply of currency and goods\, however\, caused unpredictable fluctuations in prices and in the value of money. In their effort to determine the principles of this complex economy\, Song officials made analogies with water and the human body. They assumed that the flow of water and the circulation of vital essences did not merely provide convenient similes for the workings of money\, but that money shared crucial physical characteristics with water and with qi\, as the health of imperial subjects depended on the robust circulation of all three of these substances. Irreconcilable debates about finance during the 1070s and 1080s forced the realization that the natural principles of finance were not easy to discover or to demonstrate.

Discarding catastrophe as narrative form\, she instead brings alive a history of colonial nervousness. This mood suffused medical investigations\, security operations\, and vernacular healing movements. With a heuristic of two colonial states—one \"nervous\,\" one biopolitical—the analysis alternates between medical research into birthrates\, gonorrhea\, and childlessness\; and the securitization of subaltern \"therapeutic insurgencies.\" By the time of Belgian Congo’s famed\, postwar developmentalist schemes\, a shining infertility clinic stood near a bleak penal colony\, both sited where a notorious Leopoldian rubber company once enabled rape and mutilation. Hunt’s history bursts with layers of perceptibility and song\, conveying everyday surfaces and daydreams of subalterns and colonials alike. Congolese endured and evaded forced labor and medical and security screening. Quick-witted\, they stirred unease through healing\, wonder\, memory\, and dance. This capacious medical history sheds light on Congolese sexual and musical economies\, on practices of distraction\, urbanity\, and hedonism. Drawing on theoretical concepts from Georges Canguilhem\, Georges Balandier\, and Gaston Bachelard\, Hunt provides a bold new framework for teasing out the complexities of colonial history.\n\nNancy Rose Hunt is a professor of History (and Obstetrics/Gynecology) in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. A specialist of history and anthropology in Africa\, Dr. Hunt focuses on matters medical\, therapeutic\, and gender\, while paying attention to material objects\, everyday technologies\, visual culture\, and violence. Her fields of study include: Africa\, health\, medicine\, violence\, religious studies\, humanitarianism\, gender\, psychiatry\, theory\, ethnographic history\, global history\, and visual culture.

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.

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\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\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.

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.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

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.

Women\, Class\, Performance: Helena Modjeska as Understudy and Impresario DESCRIPTION:Helena Modrzejewska (1840-1909)\, the great Polish actress who emigrated to the U.S. mid-career to conquer the American stage as Helena Modjeska\, ingeniously wielded her talent as a performer to achieve rapid social mobility and sociocultural power. Not coincidentally\, Modrzejewska’s chief mentors in this achievement were strategically placed aristocratic women in Poland and “respectable” American women writers\, intellectuals\, and artists who were instrumental in brokering new norms for high culture and professional activism. Modjeska had the good fortune to attain stardom in two national contexts where upper-class cosmopolitan women\, the dictators of social taste\, began to embrace serious actresses as desirable equals and the most effective public messengers for the arts.\n\nThis talk explores Modrzejewska/Modjeska’s development from sociocultural understudy to impresario on two continents\, highlighting key interactions with her mentors. Born illegitimate in a lower middle-class Kraków family and the unwed mother of two children\, Modrzejewska the actress first had to successfully emulate and win the approval of Kraków’s aristocracy and then qualify as a mover and shaker in the more hybridized upper-class society of Warsaw\, where she kept her own salon and reigned on the stage of the Teatr Wielki\, implementing new repertoire. Her progress in these cities was paved by the interventions of\, respectively\, Countess Arturowa Potocka and Countess Maria Kalergis-Muchanowa. In America\, Modjeska easily established her respectability before a public ignorant of her past\, yet she had to prove her talent as an English-speaking actress of serious drama and\, in the process\, connect with a nationwide network of women writers\, critics\, intellectuals\, and artists (ranging from Annie Adam Fields to Willa Cather) to cultivate sociocultural influence. In Poland and the United States\, Helena Modjeska depended on an elite\, often eccentric sisterhood to vouch for her class and empower her public persona.\n\nBeth Holmgren is professor of Russian and Polish cultures in Duke University’s Slavic and Eurasian Studies Department. Recent books include Starring Madame Modjeska: On Tour in Poland and America (Indiana\, 2012)\, which won four national awards\, and Americans Experience Russia: Encountering the Enigma\, 1917 to the Present\, edited with Choi Chatterjee (Routledge\, 2013). She is currently working on two books\, one a co-edited volume with Yana Hashamova and Mark Lipovetsky\, Transgressive Women in Modern Russian and East European Cultures: From the Bad to the Blasphemous\, the other a monograph\, How the Cabaret Went to War\, about the experience and influence of acculturated Jewish cabaret artists attached to the Polish II Corps during World War II.

By considering a slave-holding Connecticut family that spawned two centuries of doctors\, and by focusing on Fortune\, the man they claimed as property in life and in death\, Professor Foreman examines the mortuary politics and anatomical entrepreneurialism at work when human remains are used as artifacts that serve to amass multi-generational professional standing. This talk asks how chattel remains\, blanched of the violence of their genesis\, inform the legacy of slavery and its afterlives.\n\nP.

The novel invites us to think this transformation as interregnum\, or as a hiatus that ensues following the demise of the sovereign. But what exactly is it that has died as far as Bolaño is concerned? I propose that it is not just the national state and its role in containing and regulating the contradictions generated by capitalism but also literature itself\, or at least a certain understanding of literature that has fallen. And what then would be left of literature\, if literature has not simply gone away? One possible answer can be found in the relation that the novel takes up with the question of evil.\n\nSponsored by the Department of Romance Langauges and Literatures\, the Institute for the Humanities\, the International Institute\, and Rackham Graduate School UID:28119-2663975@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/28119 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lecture LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons, 4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160216T171558 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160218T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160218T190000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Maps of the Middle East: From Ancient to Modern DESCRIPTION:Join us for Third Thursday in the Clark Library where we'll have maps of the Middle East on display.

Lesbian feminists created a unique culture that flourished throughout the 1970s and well into the ‘80s and\, for many young lesbians\, served as a crucial base for their development.\n\nRamp and elevator access at the E.

In question\, from an empiricist standpoint\, is the ontological and epistemological status of abstraction and geometric figuration in perception\, and the possibility\, as Alain Cernuschi (2000) has pointed out\, of envisioning a correlation between the object of perception (the object of physico-mathematical observation) and the object of reflection in which sonorous musical events are constituted. Though the question of the perception of rapports in the sensory domain\, and the impact of such perceptions on aesthetic and musical experience is a lingering one in Diderot’s writings\, d’Alembert’s verdict\, hidden in the 1752 edition of his Elémens de musique but emerging to the forefront in the preamble to Volume VI of the Encyclopédie in 1756\, appears definitive and without appeal. In this paper\, Moshavar returns to the public face of d’Alembert’s refutation that brings Rameau’s principle of the fundamental bass to a checkmate from the standpoint not just of its physics\, but also of its practice and aesthetics\, and consider the conception of music theory that is left behind\, from the “point of view\,” in d’Alembert’s words\, “under which science envisions its object.” UID:27390-2392318@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/27390 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Earl V.

Schulze grew up in Dresden and studied classical philology at the University of Jena. He worked as a Dramaturg for the theater in Altenburg and as a journalist for the short-lived Altenburger Wochenblatt (1990-91) that he co-founded. Both 'Neue Leben' and his subsequent novel 'Adam und Evelyn' were finalists for the German Book Prize in 2006 and 2008\, respectively. The recipient of a fellowship at the Villa Massimo in Rome\, Schulze published a collection of stories entitled 'Orangen und Engel: Italienische Skizzen'\, which appeared in 2010. He has taught at the University of Lüneburg (as a Heinrich-Heine-Gastdozent)\, written a prize-winning radio feature (Das Deutschlandgerät) and won numerous literary awards\, including the Peter-Weiss Prize\, the Thüringer Literaturpreis\, the Bertolt-Brecht Prize.\nDescribed by the New York Times as a “mordant comedy\,” Ingo Schulze’s 2005 novel 'Neue Leben' presents the story of Enrico Türmer\, a young man who becomes caught up in the transition from East German socialism to capitalism in a unified Germany after 1989. Türmer\, a failed writer in the GDR\, becomes an entrepreneur in the new Germany. Presented as a series of letters written by Türmer to his lover\, his brother\, and his sister (and annotated with footnotes by one Ingo Schulze)\, the novel is both a historical document and an experiment in epistolary form. As one reviewer poignantly put it\, the novel tells the story of how the East and the West became lost to one another after 1989.\nThe reading will be in German\, with copies available in English. Discussion will be in English.

DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

From intimate portraits of wildflowers to the grand expanse of the night sky\, it is a rich palette to work with\, and deJonge captures it with elegance and intention.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

Now located in Traverse City\, Michigan\, Palmer creates fish sculptures using crutches and paddles for bases. He then makes fins\, teeth\, tails\, and eyes from unique items and fills in the form with found objects. Before retirement\, he was a teacher and school administrator\, and he holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership. Early in Palmer’s artistic career\, he worked in pottery\, batik\, photography and glass before finally settling on mixed media sculpture.

As a child\, Wagner Coron often played outside\, ran in the woods and fields\, and developed a deep inward connection to the land. Her work reflects that relationship. Her husband Steven Coron\, also with a BFA from EMU\, is an artist with a deep affinity for the Great Lakes who teaches fine arts at Community High school in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. In his current photographic work\, he captures single digital images\, which he edits and joins to create digital panoramic photomontages.

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.

Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

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.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library.

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.

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\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\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.

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.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

Seeking to move beyond purely prescriptive applications of translation\, interpretation\, and the localization of national literatures –and the mere translation of a “minor” literature into a major language –this workshop asks invited participants to explore question pertaining to their translations of Armenian literature\, under the umbrella of larger\, non-compartmentalized cultural and theoretical frameworks and disciplines such as comparative literature\, Mediterranean studies\, Post-colonial and Diaspora studies\, across all periods. This workshop also considers questions pertaining to the ethics of semiotic and cultural translation\, and what ways (if possible) cultural nuances transform and translate across linguistic\, political\, and literary mediums.\n\nFriday\, February 19\n\n2609 International Institute\, 1080 S.

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.

Drawing from ten years of fieldwork in a Northern Thai community I show how people perform rituals\, interpret experience\, and socially reinforce practices that are oriented around a Theravada Buddhist emphasis on change. A focus on the inevitable flow of time\, and the importance of realizing the fact of change\, are thought in the community to centrally connect to the concept of anicca\, or ‘impermanence’\, one of the Three Characteristics in Buddhism thought. Mindfulness (sati)\, karma (kam)\, spirit possession and more are interpreted through these logics of impermanence\, and are understood to influence what it means to be well. The more one is able to recognize the inevitability of change\, people tell me\, the more one crafts subjectivities that aspire to non-attachment\, calmness\, and the letting go of robust emotion. Working with\, and manipulating\, these cultural logics allow people to gain personal control and agency in their lives. The talk will focus especially on the mental health of one man in the community\, as he and his family struggle with his problems of addiction to alcohol\; I trace the development of the issue and the ways that people make sense of it\, from a local healer detaching the spirits of alcohol from the man’s body at the hospital to the proactive making of merit that connects giving to letting go. Based on my new book\, Living Buddhism: Mind\, Self and Emotion in a Thai Community (Cornell University Press\, 2015) the talk informs the study of culturally-informed subjective experience as part of the psychology of everyday life in today’s Thailand.

However\, previous research has also identified the importance of social factors as an explanation for why second language learners’ pronunciation often seems to fossilize. Dr. John Levis argues that attention to social factors is essential to more effective pronunciation teaching. After a review of research on how a variety of social factors appear to impact the ultimate success of pronunciation learning\, especially looking at factors like identity\, passing behaviors\, L1 and L2 speaker attitudes\, listener expectations\, and institutional discrimination\, Dr. Levis presents his own research about L2 learners’ feelings about the constraints of social factors on their own pronunciation. Finally\, he suggests several adjustments to language teaching that integrate social factors into L2 pronunciation pedagogy.\n\nBio\nJohn Levis is Professor of Applied Linguistics and TESL at Iowa State University. His articles on pronunciation and intonation have been published in a wide variety of professional journals. He is co-editor of the Phonetics and Phonology section of the Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics\, for Social Dynamics in Second Language Accent\, and for the Handbook of English Pronunciation. Dr. Levis also initiated the annual Pronunciation in Second Language Learning and Teaching Conference and is founding editor of the new Journal of Second Language Pronunciation.

This study explores an ongoing sound change in Andalusian Spanish whereby /ɾn/ and /ɾl/ sequences undergo gemination (i.e.\, [n:] and [l:]\, respectively)\, due to phonetic assimilation of clusters involving coronal sonorants. This change now creates a lexical contrast between non-geminate [n]/[l] and geminate [n:]/[l:] in pairs orthographically represented as pela ‘s/he peals’ - perla ‘pearl’\, cala ‘cove’ - Carla ‘Carla’\, and tono ‘tone’ - torno ‘window’\, among many others. In this project we consider two acoustic parameters of this contrast: consonant duration and formant frequency (F1\, F2 & F3). \n\nIn Experiment 1\, 17 Andalusian speakers and 10 Castilian speakers participated in a carrier phrase reading task to test the acoustic differences between orthographic rl\, rn and l\, n sequences. The Andalusian speakers produced rl\, rn sequences as geminate [l:] and [n:]\, and their duration was nearly twice as long as non-geminate l\, n (ratio = 1.90). We also extracted duration values and formant frequencies of the vowels preceding and following these consonants\, but significant differences did not emerge in the singleton-geminate comparisons. On the other hand\, the Castilian speakers showed shorter [n] and [l] durations in rl\, rn sequences compared to l\, n\, indicating non-geminate production in both conditions. In Experiment 2\, 10 Andalusian speakers read sentences designed to test durational differences in lexical geminates (of the types identified in Experiment 1) and syntactic geminates. The results show non-significant differences between conditions\, adding further support to the claim that the only universal acoustic feature that we can reliably identify for geminates may be constriction duration (Kawahara\, 2015). To conclude\, we provide implications for the structural status of Andalusian geminates (including certain prosodic restrictions) and present ideas for an ongoing perception study.

Proponents of the new law argue that children’s work is inevitable given widespread poverty\, and that requiring the Bolivian state to monitor this work will ensure children are protected from exploitation. Critics argue that legalizing child labor not only exposes children to a range of hazards\, it impedes their education and hinders Bolivia’s development. At the heart of this debate is the Union of Bolivian Child Workers (UNATSBO)\, who petitioned the Government for this right to work\, citing their dignity and their need to maintain family incomes. Equally prominent is President Evo Morales\, who defended the UNATSBO’s demands in the name of Andean tradition. Yet what are the dangers of championing children’s labor in the name of rights and dignity\, and of claiming that international labor standards are a Western imposition from which Bolivia needs to decolonize itself? What political-economic\, ethnic\, and racial realities are elided when such complex matters are framed in these terms? At the same time\, who should have the right to speak for whom? And what viable options do children and the Bolivian state have in confronting this child labor/development challenge? In this meeting of the Circulo Andino\, we invite scholars of the Andes to weigh in on these questions and learn about how this issue shapes international policy-making on Bolivia.\n\nRandall Hicks is an International Relations Officer at the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs. He works in research and policy initiatives on human rights issues in the global economy. He conducts research and authors reports on child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking in Latin America and regularly travels to the region to engage foreign governments on these issues. He was an NSEP Boren Fellow and Fulbright-Hays Fellow\, and uses both Spanish and Quechua in his work.

Due to a massive exodus after the revolution in Romania\, the number of TS speakers has drastically diminished over the past 25 years\, leaving only 15 speakers in the village. Such dramatic reduction has resulted in language shift from TS to German or Romanian. Upon analyzing speech data from 6 participants\, aged 30 - 78\, I show that this shift involves contact-induced variation in the structure of TS verbal complexes.

The modern Geand Canyon landscape passes two fundamental tests of long-term\, kilometer-scale equilibrium erosion since Laramide incision: (1) Perturb the modern landscape with hard rock\, and it quickly erodes back very close its initial form\, and no farther\; the disequilibrium erosion rates are orders of magnitude greater than the long-term erosion rate\; (2) The thermal history of the modern surface does not vary significantly with elevation. A key prediction of long-term equilibrium erosion is that Grand Canyon existed through essentially all of Cenozoic time\, and so evidence of detritus derived from it should be found in Tertiary basins in surrounding lowlands. Certain orthoquartzite clasts within gravels in the upper part of the Sespe Fm.\, a mid-Tertiary delta complex in coastal southern California\, appear to exhibit a combination of petrographic\, geochemical\, paleomagnetic and detrital zircon signatures that are unique to the Shinumo Quartzite\, a ca. 1.1 Ga orthoquartzite known only from the Upper Granite Gorge region of Grand Canyon. This discovery corroborates earlier suggestions that an “Arizona River” drainage system\, precursory to the formation of the modern Colorado River (but with a much more limited drainage area)\, was supplying detritus to the coastal borderlands in mid-Tertiary time\, and that the post-Laramide drainage divide had locally migrated as far east as the cratonic interior of North America by the end of Laramide time. Intergration of inland drainages with the Arizona River six million years ago marked an eastward shift of the continental divide to its present position in Colorado.

Studies of many components of this biodiversity are not only interesting in their own right but are also needed for global perspectives on the origins and evolution of animal\, plant and fugal groups that have more cosmopolitan distributions. However\, much South Asian biodiversity is poorly known and understudied such that there is much more remaining to be discovered (and opportunities for exciting discoveries). I will give some examples of recent biodiversity research in South Asia. Beyond the biology per se I will also highlight and discuss obstacles to biodiversity research in South Asia from a historical perspective. I will suggest 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\nMark Wilkinson is a British Evolutionary Biologists.

Our research focuses on community level variability in speech production and perception\, and on how individual members of a community perform within the complex variable landscape of their speech community. \n\nSince ongoing sound changes are characterized by variability\, understanding the structure of variation\, and in particular the relation between perception and production in individual members of a speech community\, can shed light on how sound changes are initiated and how they progress through a speech community. Do perception and production norms change together\, or are they partially independent such that change in the one can lead change in the other? If they change separately\, which is more likely to change first? Are individuals who produce innovative forms also more likely to rely on the innovative cues in perception?\n\nTo investigate these questions\, this presentation will focus on the results of a study on the ongoing process of tonogenesis in Afrikaans. In Afrikaans\, the historical distinction between voiced and voiceless plosives is currently being replaced by a distinction between high and low tone on neighboring vowels. This presentation will show how this change is realized in the speech community\, with particular focus on the relation between perception and production norms in individual members of the community. The presentation will end with a brief review of a currently ongoing study that uses eye-tracking technology and airflow measures to investigate the relationship between the perception and production of anticipatory nasalization in English ('sent' produced with a nasal vowel). The implications of these studies for theories about the cognitive representation of speech and theories of sound change will be considered.

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 subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

Among other accolades\, he was a founder of the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. His paintings can be viewed across the U-M campus\, including many of the murals in residence hall multicultural lounges.\n\nHours: Sun 1-10pm\, Mon-Thurs 8am-10pm\, Fri 8am-5pm\, Sat 1-6pm\n\nJoin us for a reception on Tuesday\, February 23\, 3-6pm in the Fine Arts Library\, with honored guest Mrs. Leslie Kamil\, the artist's widow.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.
