SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer

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.

SUMMARY:Community Service:Michigan Performance Outreach Workshop Winter Event

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Does Equality Mean Business: Gender Equity at the Crossroads of Feminism and Finance Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The day-long event brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to examine various facets of the “business case” for investing in women and girls in the global South. Topics include microcredit “girl effect” campaigns and “girl power\,” women in the global garment industry\, the rhetoric of the business case in development institutions\, and the relationship between feminism and new economic movements such as buen vivir and the solidarity economy. The question examined in each of these cases is whether the business case precludes progressive agendas or if\, under certain conditions\, it can serve more transformative feminist goals.\n\nSchedule:\n9:15 am: Introductory Remarks - \nEngendering Development Beyond \"Smart Economics\"\nSuzanne Bergeron (Women’s and Gender Studies\, UM Dearborn)\n\n9:30 - 11:30 am: Beyond the Financialization of Gender\nLamia Karim (Anthropology\, University of Oregon) \nÖzlem Altan (Political Science\, Koç University\, Turkey) \nMelissa Fisher (Social and Cultural Analysis\, New York University) \nDrucilla Barker (Anthropology and Women’s and Gender Studies\, University of South Carolina) - moderator\n\n1:30 - 3:30 pm: Beyond Neoliberal Girl Power\nRebecca Dingo (English\, University of Massachusetts-Amherst) \nEmily Bent (Women’s & Gender Studies\, Pace University)\nKathryn Moeller (Educational Policy Studies\, University of Wisconsin-Madison) \nRuby Tapia (English & Women’s Studies\, University of Michigan) - moderator\n\nThis symposium is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:20th Annual CLIFF Conference
DESCRIPTION:Over the past twenty years\, the rise of food studies has brought the culinary to the attention of academics\, particularly among social scientists and in departments of cultural studies. This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries”  \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Unseen Cinema
DESCRIPTION:For financial reasons American film distributors screen mostly films made in this country and either ignore or give very small distributions to some very good films made abroad. We will screen six films from six different countries. We will talk about them and certainly discuss film as an international medium that brings us an awareness of people and cultures from other places\, perhaps better than any other art form. Here is a tentative list of the films we will see and discuss: “Bashu\, the Little Stranger” (Iran 1989)\; “My Father\, My Lord” (Israel 2007)\; “4 Months\, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” (Rumania 2007)\; “Alamar” (Mexico 2009)\; “The Japanese Wife” (India 2010)\; and “Poetry” (South Korea 2010). \n\nInstructor Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film at U-M.\n\nThese sessions meet Fridays\, March 11 through April 15.

DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: Burmese Spirit (nat)
DESCRIPTION:In addition to their devotion to Theravada Buddhism\, the Burmese people maintain a robust tradition of spirit (nat) worship. The purpose of the spirit worshipping rituals is to incarnate the spirits through the possession trance of a transvestite ritual specialist.  The spirits are mostly historical figures who lived during Burma’s period of military and political strength in the 11th-12th centuries CE. Because of their unfortunate deaths\, these spirits cannot be reincarnated\, but are doomed to endlessly wander this earthly realm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Metonymies of Longing and Belonging: Bodies\, Land\, Mobility\, and Redemption
DESCRIPTION:By the part one shall know the whole. The members of this panel examine the fragmentation of bodies\, lands\, and objects\, and their redemption by a unifying knowledge that is acquired through the reconfiguration of those parts in space and in text. Joost Van Eynde will discuss the collection of body parts by military surgeons in the periphery of the British Empire and their use in museum collections and scientific inquiry for the generation of new medical knowledge in the metropolis. Sheng Long will demonstrate that the division of family households and the redemption of mortgaged ancestral land in southern China during late imperial times constituted knowledge of the lineage through plots of land. Omer Sharir will analyze a British experiment in 1835 to produce knowledge of the Syrian desert and its peoples by the overland transport of two disassembled paddle steamers to the Euphrates.\n\nPanelists:\nCurie Virág (Assistant Professor\, East Asian Studies\, University of Toronto)\, Sheng Long (PhD Student\, Anthropology\, University of Michigan)\, Omer Sharir (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\, and Joost Van Eynde (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\; chaired by Christian de Pee (Associate Professor\, History\, University of Michigan).\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi
DESCRIPTION:In this study\, I plan to investigate how self-perceived power can influence the perception of speech.  Researchers have previously observed that the /s/-/ʃ/ category boundary of English-speaking listeners tends to vary depending upon what gender they believe the speaker to be (Strand & Johnson 1996)\, and\, furthermore\, that this expectation tends to be of social origin (Munson 2011).  Self-perceived power has also been observed to influence how individuals use information linked with a social category (e.g. Keltner et al. 2003): high-power individuals will tend to rely more significantly on information associated with a social category (even to the exclusion of information that contradicts this expectation) (Goodwin et al. 2000).  I intend to see how these two phenomena interact – in cases where one assigns a social category to another individual and a linguistic variable is associated with this category\, will high-power individuals rely more heavily than low-power individuals on their expectation of the variable's production in perceiving the linguistic form?\n\nTo answer this question\, I will randomly assign participants to a high or low power group\, and they will be primed for power-level (priming technique drawn from Galinsky et al. 2006).  The participants will then complete a matched guise identification task.  They will see a male or female picture and will listen to a continuum of KLAAT generated sibilants spliced with the vowel [ɑɪ] (taken from naturalistic speech) to produce words ambiguous between “shy” and “sigh”\; the gender of the speaker will match that of the picture.  The participant's primary task will be to identify whether the word they heard was “sigh” or “shy”. Afterwards\, they will complete short non-linguistic behavioral task to confirm the effectiveness of the power prime.\n\nFor my presentation\, I will review relevant literature\, discuss methodology\, and present experimental stimuli. I welcome any and all advice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W.

Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SynSem
DESCRIPTION:Full Phase Transfer\nAlan Hezao Ke\, University of Michigan\n\nThis paper highlights some disadvantages of Chomsky’s (2004\, 2008 and much recent work) theory of Transfer and proposes an alternative\, suggesting that Transferring the full phase\, which includes both the phase edge and phase-head complement\, instead of phase-head complement\, is theoretically and empirically preferable. Given the proposed timing of Transfer\, this approach still allows a lower phase to be accessible to a higher phase. I argue that full phase Transfer can be derived from legibility conditions and third-factor principles. Notorious Transfer timing problems are also solved under this analysis\, with additional welcome empirical consequences. This approach keeps the primary design features of Chomsky’s Transfer theory\, where Transfer is defined as a cyclic operation that applies to narrow-syntactic derivation D-NS and delivers a representational ‘stage’ of D-NS to the two interfaces\, PHON and SEM.\n\nPotential Problems of Phase-Head Complement Transfer:\nSome potential problems of the classical Transfer theory have been noted\, including by Chomsky\, but to my knowledge they have never been aggregated for comprehensive and comparative evaluation as will be done here. First\, there is a conceptual conflict between Chomsky’s (2008) idea that the phase is where uninterpretable features (uFs) are valued and the idea that the edge of a phase is a locus for lexical items with uFs which must be accessible to further operations outside of that phase (Problem [1]). The other noted problem of Transferring only the phase-head complement is that “[this might be] a mere albeit empirically motivated stipulation which is in effect...construction or category specific...” (Obata\, 2010). There seems to be no principled reason why our language faculty should Transfer the complement of the phase-head. Is the distinction between edge and complement of a phase in accordance with computational efficiency or any other third factors (Chomsky\, 2005) or axioms of UG? (Problem [2]). In response to Problem 2\, Chomsky claims that vP and CP can be explanatorily justified as the phases because vP and CP are natural units (phonologically and semantically) at the interfaces. But as Epstein (2007) notes\, it is not vP and CP that are in fact Transferred under Chomsky’s analysis\, so the argument that vP and CP are natural phases due to their PHON and SEM independence does not go through\, and TP and VP\, the phase-head complements which are actually Transferred\, are not semantically independent at the interfaces (Problem [3]). There is also a timing problem between uF-valuation and Transfer. Transfer cannot apply after uFs are syntactically valued\, because such valued uFs will not be distinguishable from inherently\, lexically valued features (in the absence of invoking some diacritic marking and/or a lookback device that is forbidden by the Inclusiveness Condition). But Transfer also cannot happen before uFs are valued as this will cause crash (Chomsky\, 2001) (Problem [4]). Thus it is not clear when Transfer can possibly apply. Chomsky (2004\, 2008) suggests a “simultaneity” approach\, which eliminates intra-phasal “ordering”\, by taking valuation of uFs and Transfer to happen concurrently. However\, this approach has many analytical problems as well\, depriving us of derivational (computationally efficient) explanation (see e.g. Epstein & Seely\, 2002).\n\nTransferring the Full Phase:\nAll of the problems listed above are due to the same mechanism\, namely\, Transfer of the phase-head complement. Therefore\, by assuming (i) full phase Transfer\, Problems 1 through 3 are naturally avoided. (I’ll return to the “Transfer timing” Problem 4). Phasal Transfer could be considered optimal phasal computation\, which can by hypothesis be attributed to a third factor\, as was the introduction of the concept of phase. A possible objection to our proposal is that in a derivation such as (1)\, it appears as if our system will Transfer the entire embedded CP\n    \n1) [CP WHO do you [vP <who> you think [CP <who> [TP John [vP <John> saw <who> ]]]]] immediately upon its cyclic completion\, thereby preventing who in the lower phases\, e.g. the embedded Spec CP\, from moving higher. In other words\, full phase Transfer appears to prohibit all successive cyclic movement\, i.e. preventing all escape via the edge. To address this problem\, I propose (ii) Transfer of a full phase as soon as it does not contain uFs. This is an optimal valuation-sensitive operation consonant with SMT “computationally efficient satisfaction of the interfaces”/“primacy of CI”\; (iii) D-NS is able to keep track of two phases and no more (in Chomsky’s system\, the syntax correspondingly “sees” syntactic objects in two ‘adjacent’ phases)\, and the most efficient way should be that if necessary\, the narrow syntax can keep two phases in its ‘visible’ workspace\; and (iv) if uFs are not valued inside a phase as it is cyclically built up\, then the uFs may move upward to merge with a higher phase\, which is the root phase being built at that derivational point. Otherwise the derivation crashes. In (1) when who moves to the Spec of the embedded CP\, the uFs associated with it\, such as the unvalued [-Q] feature\, also move to that position. Crucially\, copies of who are left behind by movement (assuming third factor “no syntactic tampering”) but they do not have unvalued features -- these are carried with the moved copy (see. e.g. Chomsky\, 1995\; Obata & Epstein\, 2011). Note that at most two phases are allowed in the workspace as suggested in (iii)\, so the embedded CP can remain in the workspace when who occupies its Spec. This is desirable since unvalued features still occur on who. The movement of who to the edge of the vP phase in the main clause renders the embedded CP devoid of unvalued features\; This embedded CP is then efficiently Transferred according to our assumption (iii). Thus\, the implementable time to Transfer the full phase without causing crash is as soon as there is no uF inside the phase (finally resolving the “Transfer timing” Problem 4).\n\nSome Empirical Consequences of the Full Phase Transfer Approach:\nIn this approach\, the Spec positions of CP or vP remain as the natural landing positions for wh-movement. These positions are the escape hatches to the higher phase\, given bottom up Merge-by-Merge cyclic derivation\, although intermediate landing sites are not where the wh- phrase’s uFs are valued. This explains why the copies of who are possible and obligatory even in intermediate phase Specs as in sentence (1). Furthermore\, the theory offers an explanation for “criterial freezing” concerning wh-movement (Rizzi\, 2015). For instance\, in the wonder case is (2)\, which book\, bearing a uF [-Q]\, moves to the Spec of a C bearing a [+Q] feature\, where the [- Q] feature is valued\, so which book cannot move further\, due to its immediate Transfer as a member of the embedded CP (iv). Nevertheless\, if which book moves to a CP without [+Q] feature\, it further raises until its uF is valued\, to avoid crash (think case).\n2) a. Bill wonders/*thinks [[which book][-Q] [ __ was published this year]]\nb. Which book[-Q] does Bill *wonder/think [ __ [ __ was published this year]]\nIn addition\, the matrix phase edge (main clause Spec of CP and C) can now be Transferred without any special stipulation. Under standard Transfer theory\, the edge of matrix CP can never be Transferred to the interfaces for semantic and phonological interpretation unless we stipulate a special rule to Transfer the edge of the matrix CP (this could be considered a fifth problem\, i.e. Problem [5] for the previous theory). Finally\, we now predict that movement of an entire phase such as CP is possible. As Obata (2009) notes\, an entire CP phase\, rather than its complement TP\, can move to a higher phase (3a & b). But if it is only the complement of the phase-head that is Transferred\, it is incorrectly predicted that complete CPs cannot move\, since their complement TP is Transferred before the CP as a whole can undergo (internal) Merge. (Problem [6]).\n3) a. [[CP That John bought the book] was denied __]. (Obata\, 2009\, 2014) b. *[[TP John bought the book] was denied [CP that __]]

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Molnar\, Department of Geological Sciences\, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences\, University of Colorado\n\nPeter Molnar obtained a bachelor’s degree in Physics in 1965 from Oberlin College and Ph.D. in geology in 1970 from Columbia University\, with a thesis in earthquake seismology. His initial work addressed aspects of plate tectonics. Following a 2-year post-doc at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and 4 months as an exchange scientist in the USSR studying earthquake prediction\, he began an assistant professorship at MIT\, where he turned his attention to the processes by which continents deform on a large scale and in particular how mountain ranges form. After 12 years of being dissatisfied with his teaching\, he quit and returned to the life of a post-doc. In 2000\, eager to change the direction of his research to include the study of how large-scale geodynamic processes have affected climate on geologic time scales\, he moved to the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado and became a fellow in the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).\n\nPeter Molnar’s research focuses largely on these two questions: (1) how large-scale geodynamics cause deformation of the Earth’s crust\, including earthquakes and the building of mountain ranges\, and (2) how shifting continents\, emergence of islands\, growth of mountains\, etc. affect climate on geologic time scales. His work has included fieldwork in remote parts of the world\, and numerical calculations of processes that obey rules of fluid mechanics\, but he is incompetent\, and unwelcome\, in a laboratory. He teaches a graduate seminar in “Tectonics and Climate\,\" among other courses.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. 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.

DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota.

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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan/Mellon Symposium 2
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...the  Second Michigan/Mellon Symposium\, \"The Egalitarian Metropolis: Common(s) Sense City.\"\n\nThe Michigan/Mellon Project on Egalitarianism and the Metropolis is a 4.5-year academic and research initiative focused on architecture\, urbanism and humanities research in Detroit\, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. It is made possible by a $1.3 million grant from the A. W. Mellon Foundation. The project allows design theory and practice to inform and be informed by questions of social justice\, social movements and transformative creative arts movements - both past and present.\n\nCommon(s) Sense City brings together designers\, scholars\, humanists and cultural workers to examine the conceptual and lived experience of the public commons and the multidimensional task of theory and design to articulate ideological forces at work in our individual and collective coherence of the city. What is the status of the public commons\, notions of the common good\, and public space in the metropolis? How do we collectively “sense” the city - through our interaction with data\, film\, space\, and physical proximity to fellow humans? What are the governing protocols between the dominant and subordinated classes? Panels on rethinking modernist orthodoxies\, privatizing the commons\, capital and justice\, and political space of media - with an interdisciplinary group of speakers - are designed to foreground discussions on the implications of egalitarianism and the commons from the perspectives of inhabitants in three different contexts: metropolitan Detroit\, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. We invite capacious thinking that links humanists and designers in the twin task of elaborating egalitarianisms role in the development of the contemporary city. The unfinished projects of modernity\, capitalism\, egalitarianism\, and the civil rights and human rights movements provide a dizzying array of interpretations. The role of the symposium is to clarify the ideological commitments to each of these projects and to catalyze new thinking that is accessible to the polity at large.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:20th Annual CLIFF Conference
DESCRIPTION:Over the past twenty years\, the rise of food studies has brought the culinary to the attention of academics\, particularly among social scientists and in departments of cultural studies. This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries”  \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics
DESCRIPTION:One of the most astounding implications of the recent discovery of the Higgs boson and its measured properties that the vacuum we live in is metastable: there exists a different vacuum structure that is energetically more favorable for the Universe to reside in. This aspect becomes crucial during the period of cosmological inflation in the early stages of the Universe\, when the tremendous energy density in the Universe tends to trigger transitions into the alternate vacuum. This would have resulted in a catastrophic collapse of the entire Universe. What saved us? What are we missing? What can we learn from this?\n\nAll talks are free and refreshments will be served. Visitor parking (Central Campus) is across the street from Weiser Hall (formerly Dennison Building) in U-M Church Street parking structure. There is a $2.00 cash parking charge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:LRCCS Chinese Film Series | Til Madness Do Us Part 瘋愛
DESCRIPTION:A film by Wang Bing  |  China\, 2014\; 3 hrs.\, 48 mins  |  Mandarin with English subtitles\n\nThere will be a 15 minute intermission with this film.\n\nIn his latest documentary film\, director Wang Bing gains unprecedented access to a Chinese mental hospital in southwest China.\n\n\"An unsparing chronicler of the abused and neglected in his country’s darkest corners\, Chinese documentarian Wang Bing pushes his starkly immersive strategies to a grueling yet empathetic extreme in ‘Til Madness Do Us Part.’ There are endurance tests\, and then there is this nearly four-hour plunge into the daily tedium and long-term despair of life in a mainland mental hospital\, patrolling the same tightly enclosed quarters in a manner that seeks to reproduce\, without compromise\, an inhabitant’s sense of physical\, mental and spiritual entrapment.\n\nWhy these men ended up here remains a mystery. The production materials note that some of them have killed\, while others ‘are simply outsiders\, forsaken by the local government for having upturned the rules.’ . . .Saddest of all is the realization that some of the men have been dumped here simply because they have grown too old\, too slow and too difficult for their families to take care of them any longer. The meaning of the film’s title\, with its twist on traditional marriage vows\, becomes most apparent when one patient scowls his way through a visit from his wife and son\, a scene that quietly sketches in their long-broken family dynamics. Elsewhere\, a man pleads with a family member from behind bars\, ‘I’m not crazy\, get me out of here!’ — a rare expression of hopeful defiance in a place where everyone else seems to have given up.” Justin Chang\, Chief Film Critic\, Variety.\n\nDuring Winter Term 2016\, the U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies will present a series of cutting edge contemporary independent films from China.\n\nPlease note that access to Angell Hall and Auditorium A on Saturday evenings is only through the entrance on the east side of the building--called the Fishbowl--which faces the diag and the Hatcher Graduate Library.  Usually only one door to the far left is unlocked.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rose Cousins
DESCRIPTION:Rose Cousins just might be Nova Scotia's answer to Iris DeMent\, or even to Kate Wolf. Says Lifestyle Nova Scotia: \"Cousins writes songs strong on story\, melody\, and honest observations ... that demand an unaffected but beautiful voice.\" Her 2012 album \"We Have Made a Spark\" took home a Canadian Juno Award along with many other awards\, including a spot on NPR’s Top 10 Americana & Folk Albums list. That album was recorded in Boston\, where Rose spends part of her time\, and where she's found strong support from the city's vibrant songwriting community. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice\, the songs of Rose Cousins make you feel as though she sings for you\, about your life. “We develop patterns that keep us from moving forward\,\" Rose says. \"It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the uncomfortable\, painful things we work so hard to avoid. Reward comes from recognizing the obstacle exists and pushing through fear.\" Rose appears on the Saturday night show at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. 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.

DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

More than just a \"Safe Zone\" training\, the Allyhood Development Training uses a social justice framework to guide participants through a curriculum that bridges knowledge of developmental theory to the lived experiences of LGBTQ identified people.\n\nTopics include social identities\, allyhood development models\, LGBTQ terminology\, active bystander intervention strategies\, and practice utilizing the day's knowledge and skills in real-life scenarios. \n\nThrough active engagement in the training\, participants will grow in their personal awareness\, knowledge\, skills\, and actions as it relates to their engagement in doing ally work. The purpose of having the Allyhood Development Training is to promote a campus community in which everyone is treated with respect and dignity.\n\nSign up at https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/2527

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:The California Guitar Trio plays progressive rock\, surf music\, jazz\, blues\, country\, probably the definitive version of \"Bohemian Rhapsody\,\" and some traditional North African and Asian sounds for good measure. And did you hear them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival a few years ago\, playing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony\, minus the voices but with pretty much everything else intact?  Like most Californians\, the three members of the California Guitar Trio all come from someplace else: Bert Lams is Belgian\, Hideyo Moriya is from Japan (where the band has a strong following)\, and Paul Richards is from Salt Lake City. All three felt the call to push themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp’s challenging Guitar Craft courses\, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists before forming The California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. The CGT is a melding of diverse talents unlike anything you've heard before\, and one you can't afford to miss!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Child care policy and advocacy in federal states: Ontario and Michigan in Comparison
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\n\n11:30am-1:00pm (lunch provided at 11:30am\, lecture begins at 11:40am)\n\nGerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, Frey Classroom (1210)\, Weill Hall\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n\nSponsored by:\nCenter for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n \nCo-Sponsors: \nSchool of Social Work\nSchool of Public Health\n\nDescription:\nUniversal child care has been a longstanding goal of child care advocates in both Canada and the United States since the 1960s\, yet in 2016 that goal remains stubbornly elusive in both federations despite decades of activism.  Responsibility for child care delivery has been shared in both countries between federal\, “meso” (provincial/state)\, and local governments with more of that responsibility being downloaded to the state/provincial level since the 1990s.  In this research presentation\, I compare two of these meso level cases (Ontario and Michigan) to understand how child care advocates have navigated these decentralized landscapes.  What factors explain successful policy outcomes and what barriers persist?  Are universal programs and longer term social justice advocacy claims viable in decentralized federations?\n\nAbout the speaker:\nCheryl N. Collier is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Chair in the Department of Political Science at the University of Windsor and the co-director of the university’s cross-disciplinary Health Research Centre for the Study of Violence against Women.  Her primary areas of research include Canadian federal and provincial child care and anti-violence policy\, comparative women’s movements and gender\, federalism and political parties.  This semester she is teaching a graduate seminar in Public Management in the Ford School of Public Policy as an Adjunct Professor.  She holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto and an MA in Canadian Studies and a Bachelor of Journalism from Carleton University.\n\nFor more information contact Bonnie Roberts at fischerb@umich.edu or 734-647-4091\,   or visit www.closup.umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe use more than 63\,000 datapoints from a German used car market website to document systematic and substantial price drops at vintage (= year of first registration) thresholds and 10\,000 km odometer marks. The latter finding replicates the findings in Lacetera et al. (2012)\, whereas the first dimension cannot be analyzed with their US data because only German cars have such legally mandated and regulated “birthdates”. Hence we have the unique opportunity to study the presence of coarse information processing within the same dataset and decision problem but across two separate domains. We document that discontinuities in these two domains are of comparable size. While Lacetera et al. (2012) explain\ntheir result with a left-digit bias in the processing of numerical information\, vintage discontinuities cannot be explained by this. We propose a slightly more general model of information prominence and availability bias to accommodate our findings.\nWe continue to show evidence from a natural field experiment in another online market to disentangle the effects of inattention and \"standard\" search costs to such discontinuities. We finally document similar discontinuities in German wage data and show that these disontinuities are linked to economically important outcomes like job satisfaction and job search.

Check back here on the day of the event for viewing access.\n\nJoin the conversation: #policytalks\n\nOn September 11\, 2001\, our security environment changed forever.  For the first time\, a non-state actor\, al Qaida\, had inflicted significant damage on a state.  In one hour and 17 minutes\, 19 terrorists murdered 2977 people from more than 90 countries and inflicted tens of billions of dollars of damage on the United States. Hear how the rise of non-state actors with global reach\, like al Qaida and ISIS\, has significantly complicated an already difficult international security environment.\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nGeneral George W. Casey\, Jr. served at the 36th Chief of Staff for the U. S. Army from April 10\, 2007 to April 11\, 2011. In his previous assigment\, he was the Commander of the Multi-National Force - Iraq\, a coalition of over thirty countries from July 1\, 2004 to February 10\, 2007. George Casey was commissioned a second lieutenant of Infantry from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in 1970. Throughout his career\, Casey has served on operational assignments in Germany\, Italy\, Egypt\, Southwest Asia\, and the United States. He has commanded at every level from platoon to division. General Casey holds a Master's degree in International Relations from Denver University and has served as a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council of the United States. \nFor more information please visit http://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2016/general-george-w-casey-jr

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Around the Arabophone Mediterranean\, the 10th century (CE) witnessed the rise of a new kind of human who needed a new kind of humanism. They were self-made men and women -- merchants\, barley-mongers\, and cotton importers (among others) -- who were dubbed with the neologism “new money” (dhul tarif) or “merit-folk” (dhul-hasab)\, and when that did not ring a bell\, the phrase \"neither royalty nor rabble.\" Defined by negation\, they existed in a boundary condition on the selvages: beneath the nobility\, and having risen from humble\, often stigmatized\, origins. This paper explores their vulnerability and the emergence of a kind of public humanism that saturated the lives of this mercantile sub-nobility with symbolic resources to project subjectivity\, as well as political and poetic leverage in society. This new \"adab\" humanism enabled them to come together as a public around issues of common concern\, such as the essence of personhood\, dignity\, and leadership\, and push back against the state.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mixed-Race Politics: Bill de Blasio’s 2013 New York City Mayoral Campaign
DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates the ways in which multicultural rhetoric situates black-white mixed-race individuals and their families as a bridge between disparate groups and ideologies. Using Bill de Blasio’s New York City Mayoral campaign in 2013 as a case study\, I highlight specific media moments in which de Blasio’s children and his interracial marriage to a black woman are deployed as symbols of political (and by extension\, racial) futurity. The key questions of this paper ask: How was mixed-race as a symbol deployed in the de Blasio campaign\, particularly in the context of the family? What specifically did mixed-race symbolize in this political sphere? Did de Blasio's family fight back against essentialized multicultural ideals or simply deploy them to capture the minority vote? In answering these questions I conduct a close reading of de Blasio’s well-known TV advertisement featuring his then 15-year-old son Dante\, and put it in conversation with persistent racisms in the form of police brutality\, an issue that was central to de Blasio’s campaign. This work engages topics at the intersection of critical mixed-race studies\, performance studies\, and visual culture\, drawing upon and contesting current research that places mixed-race people at the forefront of a changing American demographic and political climate.\n\n\n\nThe Black Humanities Collective (BHC) is an interdisciplinary graduate student organization at the University of Michigan that fosters a community of scholars invested in the intellectual\, professional\, and social growth and development of students across disciplines whose research interests focus on the African Diaspora. In working toward our mission to affirm and improve the University's commitment to the intellectual and professional development of persons at the University of Michigan studying Africa and its Diaspora\, we host a variety of events throughout the year that cater both to graduate and undergraduate students.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography and Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Inequality in U.S. housing prices and rents both declined in the mid-20th century\, even as home-ownership rates rose. Subsequently\, housing-price inequality has risen to pre-War levels\, while rent inequality has risen less. Combining both measures\, we see inequality in housing consumption equivalents mirroring patterns in income across both space and time\, according to an income elasticity of housing demand just below one. These patterns occur mainly within cities\, and are not explained by observed changes in dwelling characteristics or locations. Instead\, recent increases in housing inequality are driven most by changes in the relative value of locations\, seen especially through land.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yuming He\, Associate Professor of Chinese\, East Asian Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Davis\n\nThe famous Yuan dynasty play \"The Orphan of Zhao\" attained the status of a monument in the history of Chinese theater\, as well as in the history of Sino-European cultural interactions. This talk discusses a relatively underexamined chapter in the life of the Orphan play—the adaptations of its basic plot to southern operatic forms during the Ming dynasty. These little-known dramatic texts reveal a great deal about the interplay and synergies among dramatic performance\, urban spectacle\, visual representation\, and print culture during the mid- to late Ming.\n\nYuming He received her BA and MA from Peking University and PhD from UC Berkeley. She taught at Reed College and the University of Chicago before joining the faculty at UC Davis. Her recent work is focused on the history of the book\, theater\, and epistemological processes in late-imperial China. Her book \"Home and the World: Editing the 'Glorious Ming' in \"Woodblock-printed Books of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries\" won the 2015 Joseph Levenson Book Prize.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The Power of the Broken: Sir Thomas Browne’s Religio Medici and Aphoristic Writing\"
DESCRIPTION:Whereas seeking the generic affiliations and mixtures of Religio Medici has helped us to make sense of certain features of its dazzling intricacies\, it has neglected to consider the shape in which the eight extant manuscripts have come to us. Especially in two manuscripts whose provenance links them closely to Browne himself\, the text of Religio Medici is broken into smaller portions of prose than are found in the print editions from 1642 onward. Considered together with the fact that in the first manuscript stage of composition\, but also in the 1643 authorized edition Browne divides his meditations by numbers rather than titles\, this brokenness prompts us to consider the possibility that the mode if not the genres of Religio Medici was intended by the author and received by its earliest readers aphoristically.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:No Más Bebés
DESCRIPTION:No Más Bebés tells the story of a little-known but landmark event in reproductive justice\, when a small group of Mexican immigrant women sued county doctors\, the state\, and the U.S. government after they were sterilized while giving birth at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Marginalized and fearful\, many of these mothers spoke no English\, and charged that they had been coerced into tubal ligation — having their tubes tied — by doctors during the late stages of labor. Often the procedure was performed after asking the mothers under duress.\n\nThe mothers’ cause was eventually taken up by a young Chicana lawyer armed with hospital records secretly gathered by a whistle-blowing doctor. In their landmark 1975 civil rights lawsuit\, Madrigal v. Quilligan\, they argued that a woman’s right to bear a child is guaranteed under the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.\n\nThe filmmakers spent five years tracking down sterilized mothers and witnesses. Most were reluctant at first to come forward\, but ultimately agreed to tell their story. Set against a debate over the impact of Latino immigration and overpopulation\, and the birth of a movement for Chicana rights and reproductive choice\, No Más Bebés revisits a powerful story that still resonates today.\n\nRenee Tajima-Peña is an Academy Award nominated filmmaker whose credits include Who Killed Vincent Chin?\, MY AMERICA...or Honk if You Love Buddha\, and Calavera Highway.  Her films have screened at the Cannes Sundance and Toronto film festivals and she has been awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship\, USA Broad Fellowship\, Alpert Award in the Arts for Film/Video\, a Peabody and a Dupont-Columbia Award.\n\nTajima-Peña teaches social documentary at UCLA\, where she is a professor of Asian American Studies\, the director of the Center for EthnoCommunications and holds an endowed chair in Japanese American Studies.  She never went to film school\, but traces the origins as a filmmaker to her student activism.  She was chair of the United Front Against Apartheid at Harvard\, and while a student\, made her first short film documenting the Socialist New Jewel Movement in Grenada.  She has been deeply involved in filmmakers of color movements and started her career as a member of the Third World Newsreel film collective.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Reproductive Justice Facutly Program\, cosponsored by Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology\, Fellowship in Family Planning\, Medical Students for Choice\, Students for Choice\, Department of Women's Studies\, Law Students for Reproductive Justice\, Latina/o Studies\, The Michigan Journal of Gender & Law\, Latino Law Students Association\, Michigan Immigration and Labor Law Association\, ACLU MLaw Chapter\, and Asian Pacific American Law Students Association\, The Michigan Journal of Race & Law.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Reproductive Justice Faculty Program.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:(Registration link under \"Web and Social\" at the bottom the page)\n\nGain inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in people. Join us at the Positive Links Speaker Series to learn from leading Positive Organizational scholars. Connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders at our receptions that immediately follow each session.\n\nHOSTED BY: Gretchen Spreitzer\, the Faculty Co-Director at the Center for Positive Organizations\; the Keith E. and Valerie J. Alessi Professor of Business Administration\; and Professor of Management and Organizations at Michigan Ross.\n\nSESSION DESCRIPTION: Want to make a difference in your organization? In this session\, Jerry Davis and Chris White (authors of Changing Your Company From the Inside Out) will provide a framework for advancing the initiatives that are important to you\, your company\, and the world.\n\nJERRY DAVIS received his Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University and taught at Northwestern and Columbia before moving to the University of Michigan\, where he is the Wilbur K. Pierpont Collegiate Professor of Management and of Sociology.  He has published widely in management\, sociology\, and finance.  Books include Social Movements and Organization Theory (Cambridge University Press\, 2005)\; Organizations and Organizing (Pearson Prentice Hall\, 2007)\; Managed by the Markets: How Finance Reshaped America (Oxford University Press\, 2009)\; Changing your Company from the Inside Out: A Guide for Social Intrapreneurs (Harvard Business Review Press\, 2015)\; and The Decline and Fall of the American Corporation (Berrett-Koehler\, forthcoming).  He is Editor of the Administrative Science Quarterly and Director of the Interdisciplinary Committee on Organization Studies (ICOS) at the University of Michigan.\n \nDavis’s research is broadly concerned with the effects of finance on society.  Recent writings examine how ideas about corporate social responsibility have evolved to meet changes in the structures and geographic footprint of multinational corporations\; whether \"shareholder capitalism\" is still a viable model for economic development\; how income inequality in an economy is related to corporate size and structure\; why theories about organizations do (or do not) progress\; how architecture shapes social networks and innovation in organizations\; why stock markets spread to some countries and not others\; and whether there exist viable organizational alternatives to shareholder-owned corporations in the United States.\n\nCHRIS WHITE leads the Center for Positive Organizations at The University of Michigan. The Center helps leaders build high-performing organizations that bring out the best in people through ground-breaking research\, educational programs and organizational partnerships. The Center won the 2012 Research Center Impact Award from The Academy of Management.\n\nAt the Ross School of Business\, Chris co-developed and teaches the MBA class on Social Intrapreneurship\, which has since been replicated in other top business schools. He also teaches in the Executive Education program on selling internally. Chris is co-author of Changing Your Company From the Inside Out: A Guide for Social Intrapreneurs (Harvard Business Review Press\, 2015).\n\nChris has been leading and consulting to purpose-driven organizations for 15 years. His career has spanned the non-profit\, corporate\, and philanthropic sectors. His work has been featured by outlets including Fast Company\, Inc.\, Forbes\, CBS\, The Huffington Post\, and Talent Management Magazine. \n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public. Most sessions are live-streamed via a link from our Events page\, and then a listing is added to our Videos page post-session. For more information\, visit poslinksseries.com.\n\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks Diane and Paul Jones (Ross School of Business MBA 1975) for their generous gift in support of the 2015-2016 Positive Links Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How Sincerity in Literature Was Made: Soviet Children's Writers and the Moral Revival of the Mid-1950s
DESCRIPTION:It is generally acknowledged that the beginning of the “Thaw” epoch in Soviet literature was marked by the publication of Vladimir Pomerantsev’s article “On sincerity in literature” (December\, 1953). There sincerity was interpreted not as a writer’s inclination to “open” his/her inner world to the public\, but rather as a moral demand to critically represent the social environment and social conditions. This view acquired wide support in the milieu of reformatory-minded Soviet writers\, especially those who specialized in children's literature. This talk is intended to discover what literary plots\, images and devices were required and were really used in order to fulfill this moral and social duty and what peculiar and sometimes odd literary forms arose in response to the new imperatives.\n\nMaria Maiofis is an Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the School of Advanced Research in the Humanities\, Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. She is the author of Appeal to Europe: the Literary Society “Arzamas” and the Russian Modernization Project of 1815-1818 (in Russian\, 2008)\, and a co-editor of volumes on the history of Soviet children’s and youth culture and education\, most recently\, Islands of Utopia: Social and Pedagogical Approaches to Modeling Post-WWII School (in Russian\, 2015).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Bodies of Knowledge: A Talk by Dr. Debotri Dhar\"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a brown bag lunch to hear Professor Debotri Dhar\, Jean Campbell Visiting Scholar at U-M’s Center for the Education of Women\, and Lecturer in Women’s Studies\, speak about her research works-in-progress. \n\nDr. Dhar will present key insights from her monograph Violence\, Knowledge and the Female Body: Interrogating Rape Narratives\; a forthcoming co-edited volume Education in South Asia and the Indian Ocean Islands\; as well as an article on feminist theory\, comparative religion\, and love. Dr. Dhar’s transdisciplinary research explores\, though the lens of gender\, the intersections between disciplines\, epistemic frames\, theory and praxis\, in order to ask critical questions pertaining to gender\, sexual violence\, and education.\n\nThe talk will interrogate how hegemonic understandings of “bodies” — seen in terms of both gender and knowledge — frame and mediate national and transnational initiatives on sexual violence and education. Dr. Dhar is particularly interested in situating these initiatives within the difficult dialogues between “the east” and “the west\,” in light of past and present colonial practices\, to examine the possibilities and limitations of love as a (feminist) method.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please feel free to bring your lunch. Indian appetizers will be ordered so please RSVP below!\nhttp://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/bodies-knowledge-talk-dr-debotri-dhar/20160121

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Thing-System of Soviet Productivism: Building the Economy of Storage in the Late USSR
DESCRIPTION:In my talk I explore late Soviet views on specificities of socialist commodity and commodity context\, moving beyond the powerful paradigms of “the culture of shortage” and “the economy of scarcity” that defined the studies of socialist consumption for the last few decades. My goal is to show that by displacing “scarcity” as the primary explanatory lens on Soviet consumption\, we can clear up some analytical and ethnographic room for processes\, practices\, concepts\, or paradigms that have been routinely overshadowed by the politically charged emphasis on shortages. I am less concerned with the political management of shortages through which socialist bureaucracy increased its “allocative power.” Instead\, I want to foreground the economy of storage by tracing the emergence of what Boris Arvatov\, a Soviet theorist\, called a thing-system (veshchnaia sistema)—that is\, a historically specific constellation of tangible objects\, institutional infrastructure\, classification protocols\, and ideological values which determined the parameters of the commodity context in late Soviet society.\n\nThe change of perspective\, I hope\, can modify the interpretative matrix: for instance\, what is perceived now as the ill-conceived “overmanning” (hoarding of labor) might reemerge as a historically available mode of (working-) class production\, or what seems as the irrational overstocking of commodities could reappear as a crucial material precondition for stimulating centripetal tendencies in an otherwise fragmented country. As I will demonstrate\, the will to rationalize the production\, accumulation\, and redistribution of objects of consumption triangulated a particular emphasis on materiality of objects able to satisfy rational needs (use-value)\, a specific economic formation for integrating space\, things\, people\, and classificatory models (Soviet storage economy)\, and a distinctive set of moral assumptions and rules aimed at regulating consumption in non-economic way (the doctrine of a Soviet mode of life).\n\nSerguei Oushakine has conducted fieldwork in the Siberian part of Russia\, as well as in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. His research is concerned with transitional processes and situations: from the formation of newly independent national cultures after the collapse of the Soviet Union to post-traumatic identities and hybrid cultural forms. His first book The Patriotism of Despair: Loss\, Nation\, and War in Russia focused on communities of loss and exchanges of sacrifices in provincial post-communist Russia. His current project explores Eurasian postcoloniality as a means of affective reformatting of the past and as a form of retroactive victimhood. Oushakine’s Russian-language publications include edited volumes on trauma\, family\, gender and masculinity. Prof. Oushakine is director of the Program in Russian and Eurasian Studies at Princeton.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guanyin Reboot: The Culture of Remakes and the Transformation of Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Traditional Buddha sculptures represent a certain kind of idealized form\, which embodies the idea of compassion in certain times of the past. Mahayana Buddhism syncretized with Confucianism\, Taoism\, Korean Shamanism and Japanese Shinto as Buddhism spread to the East. Each syncretization gave birth to unique Buddhist art aesthetics. The transformation of Buddhist sculpture stopped [MU1] as the religion reached Far East. How does an artist reboot the transformation? This lecture will discuss Yoosamu’s journey to Jingdezhen\, China to infuse contemporary aesthetics into the traditional Guanyin sculpture.\n\nBiography:\n\nYoosamu is a contemporary Korean artist.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession.

SUMMARY:Other:Author's Forum Presents \"The Tragedy of Fatherhood: King Laius and the Politics of Paternity in the West\"
DESCRIPTION:Silke-Maria Weineck reads from her new book\, which  won the  MLA's Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Comparative Literary Studies\, followed by a discussion with Jonathan Freedman and audience Q & A.\n\nTheories of power have always been intertwined with theories of fatherhood: paternity is the oldest and most persistent metaphor of benign\, legitimate rule. The paternal trope gains its strength from its integration of law\, body\, and affect-in the affirmative model of fatherhood\, the biological father\, the legal father\, and the father who protects and nurtures his children are one and the same\, and in a complex system of mutual interdependence\, the father of the family is symbolically linked to the paternal gods of monotheism and the paternal ruler of the monarchic state.\n\nIf tragedy is the violent eruption of a necessary conflict between competing\, legitimate claims\, The Tragedy of Fatherhood argues that fatherhood is an essentially tragic structure. Silke-Maria Weineck traces both the tensions and various strategies to resolve them through a series of readings of seminal literary and theoretical texts in the Western cultural tradition. In doing so\, she demonstrates both the fragility and resilience of fatherhood as the most important symbol of political power.\n\nA long history of fatherhood in literature\, philosophy\, and political thought\, The Tragedy of Fatherhood weaves together figures as seemingly disparate as Aristotle\, Freud\, Kafka\, and Kleist\, to produce a stunning reappraisal of the nature of power in the Western tradition.\n\nSilke-Maria Weineck is chair of Comparative Literature and Professor of German Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan\, USA. She is the author of The Abyss Above: Philosophy and Poetic Madness in Plato\, Hölderlin\, and Nietzsche (SUNY Press\, 2002). \n\nJonathan Freedman is professor of English\, American and Jewish Studies at the University of Michigan. He has written on late-19th- and early 20th-century literature\, film\, and Jewish-American cultural formations.\n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.\n\nAdditional support for this event provided by the departments of German\, English\, and American Culture.\n\nToday's book signing and sale courtesy of Literati Bookstore.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Latino Americans: 500 Years of History Series Part 5: \"Prejudice and Pride (1965-1980)\"
DESCRIPTION:This program will be presented in Spanish.\n\nMabel Rodriguez\, Lecturer at the University of Michigan Spanish Department and Residential College will lead this screening and discussion of Prejudice and Pride (1965-1980). Ms. Rodriguez will bring additional information as to how the political and educational scene has changed since the protests depicted in the documentary\, as well as issues that continue to affect the Hispanic community today.\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s a generation of Mexican Americans\, frustrated by persistent discrimination and poverty\, find a new way forward\, through social action and the building of a new \"Chicano\" identity. The movement is ignited when farm workers in the fields of California\, led by César Chavez and Dolores Huerta\, march on Sacramento for equal pay and humane working conditions. Through plays\, poetry and film\, Luis Valdez and activist Corky Gonzalez create a new appreciation of the long history of Mexicans in the South West and the Mestizo roots of Mexican Americans. In Los Angeles\, Sal Castro\, a schoolteacher\, leads the largest high school student walkout in American history\, demanding that Chicano students be given the same educational opportunities as Anglos. In Texas\, activists such as José Ángel Gutiérrez\, create a new political party and change the rules of the electoral game. By the end of the 1970s\, Chicanos' activism and identity have transformed what it means to be an American. Chicano and Latino studies are incorporated into school curriculum\; Latinos are included in the political process.\n\nThe Ann Arbor District Library is one of 203 sites nationwide to host this series\, which has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception: Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:Join us immediately follow Nina Katchadourian's lecture http://events.umich.edu/event/26775 as we celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition\, Nina Katchadourian's \"Accent Elimination.\"\n\nAbout \"Accent Elimination\":\nNina Katchadourian’s work exists in a variety of media including sculpture sound\, video\, and photography.  Her video piece \"Accent Elimination\,\" which was included in the 2015 Venice Biennale as part of the Armenian exhibition\, was inspired by her parents and their accents and life stories\, which suggest that the question as to where a person comes from is not so simple to answer\, and the answers speak to a larger family story about displacement migration\, intermarriage\, and diaspora.  With the help of an “accent  elimination” coach\, Katchadourian sets out to learn to speak in her parents’ accents\, and for them to acquire a “standard American accent.”  As the video reflects\, it proves to be a moving\, confusing\, frustrating and often hilarious experience.

DESCRIPTION:HONEYHONEY was formed in 2006 by musician Benjamin Jaffe and model and actress (and Cleveland native) Suzanne Santo. They met at a costume party\, were signed to a record deal\, and released their first album\, \"First Rodeo\,\" in 2008. HONEYHONEY has broken through with their third album\, \"3\,\" produced by Dave Cobb and released in June of 2015 on the legendary folk label Rounder. The album inspired an American Songwriter to enthuse: \"With a singer-songwriter that exudes the magnetic passion and swaggering star power of Santo\, this is a group whose time has come.\" Paste has described HONEYHONEY's style as \"the common pop thread between alt.country\, spaghetti western soundtracks and swampy blues\,\" and Glide found that the duo \"deftly mixes elements of folk\, soul\, country\, pop\, and rock.\" Roots/laidback-rock songwriter Ryan Joseph Anderson opens.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. 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. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006. All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE BIONIC EYE AND NEW TREATMENTS FOR BLINDNESS FROM RETINAL DISEASE
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jayasundera will be talking about the outcomes of the first bionic eye implantations in the U.S.\, as well as new treatments being developed for retinal degenerative diseases.\n\nDr. Jayasundera is an ophthalmologist with dual fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery\, retinal dystrophies\, electrophysiological testing\, and posterior uveitis.  His research program focuses on inherited retinal degenerations.  His goal is to identify patients at an earlier age to be able to: 1) provide the correct genetic diagnosis\, 2) give an 
accurate prognosis\, 3) help guide the choice of treatment\, such as gene therapy\, and 4) develop outcome measures which will determine 
progression of their disease state in therapeutic trials.  He was the first 
surgeon in the U.S. to implant the “bionic eye” after FDA approval in January 2014.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is \"Biomedical Breakthroughs: The Future is Here.\" The next lecture will be March 24\, entitled \"MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT FOR HEART FAILURE\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aimee Lee\, Artist-in-Residence\, Morgan Conservatory (Cleveland\, OH)\n\nJapan's paper soared throughout history as the most well-known and beloved paper produced in East Asia\, and as WWII bomb-laden paper balloons. Japan's papermakers are humble\, hard-working artisans in rural areas who produce distinctive and varied papers. This lecture will present papermakers in Japan devoted to their craft\, ranging from a village elder continuing his family's trade to a young woman inspired by a letter to spend years in training to start her own paper mill. American\, Canadian\, and Israeli papermakers join their native counterparts\, highlighted through images\, video\, and their perspectives on the state of Japanese papermaking today.\n\nAimee Lee is an artist\, papermaker\, writer\, and the foremost hanji researcher and practitioner in the United States (BA\, Oberlin College\; MFA\, Columbia College Chicago). Her Fulbright research on Korean paper led to her award-winning book\, Hanji Unfurled\, and the first US hanji studio at Morgan Conservatory.\n\nCosponsored by the Nam Center for Korean Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 1924\, The Morton Salt Company began nationwide distribution of iodine-fortified salt. Access to iodine\, a key determinant of cognitive ability\, rose sharply. We compare outcomes for cohorts exposed in utero to iodized salt with those of slightly older\, unexposed cohorts\, across states with high versus low iodine deficiency rates prior to salt fortification. Incomes for cohorts who benefited from iodized salt access went up by 3%\, with a nearly 8% increase during school-going ages. We find a small but precisely measured decline in educational attainment (-0.04 years)\, mainly due to decreased schooling in states with blue-collar jobs. Employment rose by 1%\, driven by a 2% rise at school-going ages and focused on entry into low-wage jobs. Later in life\, exposed cohorts began to shift into self-employment. These results are consistent with a model of schooling choice in which cognitive ability raises both the returns to education as well as the wage at labor force entry\, leading to a rise in income and employment but an ambiguous effect on educational attainment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IISS Lecture. \"Epic encounters? Narrative\, Archetypes\, and Myth in Islamic Historiography.\"
DESCRIPTION:What is history? Did the early Muslim historians intend their work to be read as dry accounts of the past or were they trying to tell their audiences something more? In this talk\, D. Gershon Lewental will explain the challenges in studying early Islamic history and propose a novel interpretation: that the historical texts should be read like epic literature.\n\nD. Gershon Lewental is a cultural historian of the Middle East\, focusing on how societies use religion\, memory\, and conflict to define and maintain their identities. He has been the Schusterman visiting assistant professor in the Departments of History and International & Area Studies at the University of Oklahoma since 2012. He earned his degrees from Cornell University and Brandeis University\, writing a dissertation on the changing perceptions of the Arab-Islamic conquest of Iran that received the Foundation of Iranian Studies Best Dissertation Award and the Brandeis University Glazter Dissertation Prize. His fields of specialization include early Islamic history and historiography\, Iranian history\, the Baha?i faith\, and Israeli society.\n\nOrganized by the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS)\, the only academic forum at the University of Michigan that engages students and faculty who are interested in the study of Islam and Muslim societies in an interdisciplinary and cross-regional conversation. Following our inception in the winter term 2010\, IISS has grown to include a large number of both student and faculty participants. They represent a wide range of departments and programs including American Culture\, Anthropology\, Architecture and Urban Planning\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, History\, Law\, Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Musicology\, Natural Resources and Environment\, Near Eastern Studies\, Political Science\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, South Asian Studies\, and Southeast Asian Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Judaic Classics Series: \"Once More\, with Feeling: Sacrificial Worship between Ancient Rabbinic Literature and Contemporary Israeli Nationalist-Religious Discourse\"
DESCRIPTION:In the Hebrew Bible  animal and vegetable sacrifices are presented as the quintessential channel of religious worship\, as was the case throughout the ancient world. The destruction of the Jerusalem temple at the end of the first century C.E. led to the effective demise of this practice\, and to the emergence of a common perception according to which sacrifices were superseded by religious practices that are taken to be more “modern” and refined\, such as prayer and study. Professor Balberg's paper seeks to challenge and refine the \"supersession\" hypothesis by examining two post-temple junctures in which biblical sacrifices are strongly endorsed but are radically reinterpreted:  early rabbinic literature (2nd-3rd centuries CE) on the one hand\, and  discourse among religious-Zionist circles in Israel in the 21st century on the other hand. The paper will argue that while early rabbis and contemporary religious leaders pursue diametrically opposed approaches to sacrifice\, they both insist on its physical concreteness and on its enduring relevance.\n\nSponsored by: Classical Studies\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: David OReilly
DESCRIPTION:Irish-born and Los Angeles-based\, David OReilly is one of the most adventuresome and innovative independent animation filmmakers working today. A darling of the festival circuit — he has won top prizes in Berlin\, Ottawa\, Annecy\, Sundance\, and beyond — OReilly directed Alien Child\, the unforgettably funny and touching faux-animated video game in Spike Jonze’s Her (2013)\, as well as live visuals for M.I.A. at Coachella (2009) and the U2 animated music video “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” (2009). He was the also first guest director in Cartoon Network’s 20-year history\, creating the Adventure Time episode “A Glitch Is a Glitch.”\nOReilly is resolutely independent\, moving freely among television network\, feature film\, and music video commissions\; metaphysical\, otherworldly video games and interactive projects that question ideas of the self and the nature of role-playing (Mountain and Character Mirror)\; Tumblr games\, iPhone hologram apps\, and Twitter-based comic strips\; and virtual reality environments.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Files (Teczki)
DESCRIPTION:The Files (Teczki)\, directed by Ewa Wójciak\, is a riveting docudrama created from actual surveillance records the Communist-era secret police kept on Theatre of the Eighth Day company members between 1975 and 1983. Through these files\, a remarkable human drama unfolds—not just of life under a communist regime but of the courageous artistry that thrived in spite of that oppression.\n\nTheatre of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia) was founded in 1964 and soon became one of the most significant alternative student theatre troupes in Poland. Its name derives from the Polish poet K.I. Galczynski\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced mostly by the work of Grotowski\, the group developed their own acting method and approach to creating performances through group improvisation. For 25 years and despite constant surveillance by the secret police and government censorship\, Theatre of the Eighth Day managed to create some of the most important works for the Polish stage. By 1985\, most of the group had left the country and the Theatre remained in exile until 1989\, returning to Poland at the invitation of the first non-communist Minister of Culture. Since the collapse of the Communist regime\, the company\, which is based in Poznan\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres. \n\nRELATED EVENT: On Monday\, March 21 at 5:30 pm\, Ewa Wójciak\, Theatre of the Eighth Day director\, will deliver the Annual Copernicus Lecture\, “Breaking Boundaries before and after Censorship: A Personal Story of When and How You Should Say No.”\n\nThis residency is part of a semester-long series on Polish Theatre.\n\nSponsors: U-M’s Copernicus Program in Polish Studies\, Department of Theatre & Drama\, Third Century Initiative\; Culture.pl.

SUMMARY:Performance:Star & Micey
DESCRIPTION:Tearing up the lost highway from Oxford\, Mississippi's Sweet Tea Studios comes the \"I Can't Wait\" EP\, the sophomore offering from Memphis’s folk pop quartet Star & Micey! Produced by Dennis Herring (Elvis Costello\, Counting Crows\, Buddy Guy) and released through the Ardent Music label\, the new EP captures the band's raw live spirit while carefully preserving the honesty of a well-crafted work of art. And it'll make you want to experience this superb live act for yourself! Star & Micey were recently named #1 on Paste's \"12  Tennessee Bands You Must Listen to Now!\" in addition to being featured on NPR's World Cafe. Says Mike Grimes of Nashville club The Basement: \"Star & Micey breezed into our New Faces Nite at The Basement and schooled every other act on the bill. Did the Avett Bros. set up camp in Memphis? Upbeat and alive. They made me smile big time.\"
