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:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? 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. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

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:Lecture / Discussion:The Mysteries of Mind Wandering  -- please note room change
DESCRIPTION:Professor Sripada\, holding a joint appointment in both Psychiatry and Philosophy at the University of Michigan\, will be giving a talk on \"The Mysteries of Mind Wandering\" this Sunday in the Michigan League. His research interests range from Adult Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder to Substance Use Disorders\, and his publications are as eclectic as they are interesting\, including papers on Will Power\, Free Will\, and Self Expression. More information on Professor Sripada can be found on his website. Sunday's talk will be on the following:During idle moments\, and too often when we are trying to focus on something else\, our minds spontaneously start to wander. The contents seem somewhat random and unconnected: recent memories\, prospections into the future\, inner speech. Over the last decade\, mind wandering has emerged as an important topic in cognitive science. In this meeting\, we'll talk about some emerging theories about what mind wandering is\, what it is for\, and why we do so much of it. Join us for the talk\, followed by audience Q&A. Food will be provided.

DESCRIPTION:In Brazil\, \"Matuto\" is slang for country boy\, but this NYC-based group of urbanized virtuosos is emerging as one of the world’s hottest international touring acts. Recently awarded the title of American Musical Ambassadors by the U.S. State Department\, Matuto has been hailed as \"seductively cross cultural\" by the Chicago Tribune\, and praised by the Sun-Times as \"the height of world music sophistication.” Matuto’s songs can sway hips just as easily as spark insights. On stage\, their instruments swirl together\, whirling around the tension at the core of Matuto’s music: the push and pull between the Latin syncopations of Brazilian music and the folk traditions of the American South. It’s bluegrass meets Brazil!

SUMMARY:Other:Harnessing the Wind to Pump Water: Elementary School Outreach via GradSWE's SWEEET
DESCRIPTION:Join the GradSWE outreach team in this semester's SWEEET (Society of Women Engineers Elementary Engineering Topics). Volunteers will facilitate weekly hands-on sessions to build a wind-powered water pump over a course of 5-8 weeks. These one-hour sessions will begin in February at two local elementary schools.Please use the Doodle link to sign up and indicate all days/times that you are available. Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/kpg7qin4fd3dwvd7 We are using this Doodle to determine which DAY of the week\, and which TIME to schedule SWEET. Use this as an indicator of the DAY of the week\, not the DATE. SWEET is a weekly recurring program for 5-8 weeks.

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:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? 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. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

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: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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Using data on all 1\,901 U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments between 1999 and 2013\, we document that voice-based snap judgments based solely on the introductory sentences of lawyers predict Justices votes. The connection between vocal characteristics and court outcomes is specific to perceived masculinity even when judgment of masculinity is based only on less than three seconds of exposure to a lawyer’s speech sample. Although previous studies suggest a significant role for vocal characteristics on real world behavior\, prior to our work none has identified a definitive connection using identical phrases. Roughly 30% of the association between voice-based masculinity and court outcomes comes from within-male lawyer variation\, whereas 70% comes from between-male lawyer variation. Moreover\, voice-based first impressions predict both male and female lawyers’ court outcomes: less masculine males and more feminine females are more likely to win. A de-biasing experiment separately identifies statistical discrimination and prejudice by showing that information reduces 40% of the correlation between perceived masculinity and perceived win and incentives reduces another 20% of the correlation. The negative correlations between perceived masculinity and win rates were stronger in private firms and in petitioner classes with more masculine voices. Perceived masculinity explains an additional 10% of variance relative to best existing prediction models of Supreme Court justice votes. Sincere and strategic voting considerations may explain why liberal justices were more likely to vote against male lawyers perceived as more masculine and conservative justices were more likely to vote for female lawyers perceived as more feminine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Visual Commons: Black Lives Matter
DESCRIPTION:This presentation shows how Black Lives Matter has formed a visual commons\, meaning a space of appearance in which it is possible for Black people and those affiliated with revolutionary blackness to see and invent each other. In particular\, Mirzoeff explores what the \"Black\" in #BLM has come to mean and how the visual commons was shaped by persistent looking in protest performance\, specifically Hands Up\, Don’t Shoot\, and the die-ins.\nMirzoeff's own engagement with persistent looking has been through a close reading of the grand jury archive from the shootings of Michael Brown and Tamir Rice as part of an activist-academic refusal of white supremacy.\nSponsored by the Department of English Language and Literature\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Digital Studies Program\, the Visual Culture Workshop\, and the Center for Global and Intercultural Study.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASC Film Screening: J.C. Abbey\, Ghana’s Puppeteer
DESCRIPTION:J.C.ABBEY documents an exceptional fifty-year artistic career\, from Accra’s streets to Ghana’s villages to international TV. In fifteen delightful puppet shows\, Mr. Abbey is joined by musicians Nii Noi Nortey and Nii Otoo Annan and filmmakers Nii Yemo Nunu and Steven Feld to chronicle Ghana's music since independence in 1957. The marionettes perform ethnic songs\, dances and stories\, but equally the sounds of highlife\, Afrojazz\, Afro-rock\, reggae\, and contemporary hiplife. The innovative soundtrack includes historical documents from radio\, TV and broadcast\, and LP\, as well as new compositions commissioned and performed to playback. This fifth feature in the “Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra” series mixes styles of historical documentary and contemporary music video. Through the pleasures of performance it reveals the cosmopolitan politics that intertwine ethnic\, traditional\, national\, and global musical styles in Ghana today.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThe film’s director\, Steven Feld\, will take part in a post-screening discussion.\n\nSteven Feld is an anthropologist\, filmmaker\, sound artist/performer\, and distinguished professor of anthropology emeritus at the University of New Mexico. After studies in music\, film\, and photography\, he received the PhD in anthropological linguistics at Indiana University in 1979. From 1976 he began a research project in the Bosavi rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Results include the monograph “Sound and Sentiment” (republished 2012 in a 3rd and 30th anniversary edition)\, a Bosavi-English-Tok Pisin Dicitionary\, and essays\, some published in his co-edited books Music Grooves and Senses of Place. From this work he also produced audio projects including Voices of the Rainforest. Key theoretical themes developed in this work are the anthropology of sound and voice\; acoustemology\, particularly regarding eco-cosmology as relational ontology\; emotive sensuality\; and experimental\, dialogic writing\, recording\, and filmmaking. Work after 2000 has concentrated on related themes in the study of bells in Europe\, Japan\, Ghana\, and Togo\, published in CDs\, DVDs\, and books like The Time of Bells\, Skyros Carnival\, and Santi\, Animali\, e Suoni. His most recent project concerns jazz in West Africa\, published in the ten CD\, four DVD\, and book set Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra. Feld’s work has been supported and honored by MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships as well as book and film prizes.\n\nOrganized by the African Studies Center\; co-sponsored by Center for World Performance Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Theatre of the Eighth Day
DESCRIPTION:Theatre 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. Gałczyński\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced 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 Poznań\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres.\nEwa Wójciak is the director of the Theatre of the Eighth Day. She joined the group in the 1970s\, co-authoring its most important performances\, such as Sale for Everyone\, How We Lived in Dignity\, Wormwood\, and No Man's Land. She adheres to the philosophy that creating art is a form of empathizing with the world and being responsible for the fate of others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:#BBUM in the Making
DESCRIPTION:In November 2013\, the Black Student Union launched the hashtag #BBUM\, asking students to share their “unique experiences of being black at Michigan”. The goal was simply to raise awareness about the black experience at Michigan and to begin a conversation about race and diversity on the UM campus. No one expected the hashtag to become a national phenomenon. Tyrell Collier was the leader of the Black Student Union when the hashtag went viral. Now a UM graduate\, he returns to campus to talk about the experience\, ongoing campus activism around race\, and the role of social media in contemporary activism.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Putting the Prison in its Place
DESCRIPTION:With over 2 million people held in U.S. jails and prisons\, the United States is the world’s leading jailer. The shadow of the prison\, however\, extends far beyond the prison gates.  \n \nJoin us for a conversation on the curious place of the prison in American public life. The conversation will be led by an esteemed panel of experts.\n \nBrett Story\, documentary film maker and critical geographer with the CUNY center on Place\, Politics\, and Culture will show clips from her new film\, The Prison in 12 Landscapes\, and lead us in a discussion of the not so obvious places the prison rears its head. For a preview of the film see: https://vimeo.com/105073038\n \nJohn Eason (http://www.johneason.com/bighouse/)\, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Texas A&M University will share notes from his forthcoming book\, Big House on the Prairie: Rise of the Rural Ghetto and Prison Proliferation\, a study of prison placement and an ethnography of a rural prison town.\n \nFinally\, we will hear from Walter Smith (www.walterdsmith.com)\, a formerly incarcerated community activist\, radio host\, and 5 time championship body builder who was wrongfully imprisoned for 11 years and eventually exonerated after filing a motion for DNA testing. He has since hosted the weekly radio program \"Street Soldier\,\" written a book\, and done violence prevention workshops throughout the nation.\n \nThe Event will be hosted by Reuben Jonathan Miller\, Assistant Professor of Social Work\, faculty Associate\, ISR\, and Faculty Affiliate\, DAAS http://ssw.umich.edu/faculty/profiles/tenure-track/mreuben\, and Hazelette Crosby Robinson\, a formerly incarcerated community activist\, Alumna of the University of Michigan School of Social Work\, and Research Associate on the Detroit Reentry Project. \n \nThis timely conversation with a professor\, a geographer and film maker\, and an exonerated\, formerly incarcerated activist will direct our attention away from the prison itself and help us to attend to its impact across communities\, across geographies\, and across sites of cultural representation.\n \nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Social Work\, the Critical Intersectionality Learning Community and the Residential College.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Latino Americans: 500 Years of History Series Part 6: \"Peril and Promise (1980-2000)\"
DESCRIPTION:Cristhian Espinoza-Pino\, Lecturer IV in the Spanish Department and PALMA Faculty Advisor at the University of Michigan Residential College leads this screening and discussion of the film Peril and Promise (1980–2000). In the 80s\, the nature of the Latino Diaspora changes again. From Cuba a second wave of refugees to the United States—the Mariel exodus—floods Miami. The same decade sees the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans (Salvadorans\, Guatemalans\, and Nicaraguans) fleeing death squads and mass murders at home\, including activist Carlos Vaquerano. By the early 1990s\, a political debate over illegal immigration has begun. Globalization\, empowered by NAFTA\, means that as U.S. manufacturers move south\, Mexican workers head north in record numbers. A backlash ensues: tightened borders\, anti-bilingualism\, state laws to declare all illegal immigrants felons. But a sea change is underway: the coalescence of a new phenomenon called Latino American culture as Latinos spread geographically and make their mark in music\, sports\, politics\, business\, and education. Gloria Estefan leads the Miami Sound Machine creating crossover hits in Spanish and English. Oscar de la Hoya\, a Mexican-American boxer from L.A.\, becomes an Olympic gold medalist and the nation's Golden Boy. Is a new Latino world being created here as the Latino population and influence continues to grow? Alternatively\, will Latinos in America eventually assimilate into invisibility\, as other groups have done so many times?\n\nLatinos present a challenge and an opportunity for the United States. America's largest and youngest growing sector of the population presents what project advisor Professor Marta Tienda calls The Hispanic Moment. Their success could determine the growth of the United States in the twenty-first century\; however\, their failure contributing to an underclass could also pull this country down. The key\, according to Tienda and Eduardo J. Padron\, Ph.D.\, President of Miami Dade Community College\, is education.\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. The AADL series is also co-sponsored by Michigan Radio and the U-M Latina/o Studies Program and is part of an NEH initiative\, The Common Good: The Humanities In the Public Square. For more information on Latino Americans: 500 Years of History programs at AADL\, please visit aadl.org/latinoamericans.\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nMichigan Radio

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.

DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? 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. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

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: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:Economic History
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper evaluates Wilson’s (1987) argument that the race differential in the frequency of marriage results from a shortage of marriageable men in the African-American community. Previous investigators have approached this problem by measuring the local availability of eligible male marriage partners for black women. These studies have found a comparatively small but significant impact of the availability of marriageable black men on black women’s marriage rates. My analysis simplifies the problem by evaluating the effects of economic characteristics of young white and black men on their own marriage behavior since 1960. I use multiple standardization and decomposition methods to assess the impact of race differences in income\, occupation\, employment status\, institutional residence\, and education. I estimate that these factors can explain most of the race difference in marriage over the period as a whole.

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: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:\"They Can Live in the Desert But Nowhere Else\" Explaining the Armenian Genocide a Hundred Years Later
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Distinguished University Professor Ronald Suny. A reception will follow.\n\nLecture Abstract:\nSometimes called \"the forgotten genocide\,\" the mass deportations and massacres of Ottoman Armenians in 1915 have re-emerged in recent decades in public memory and writings of historians and journalists.  Challenging official efforts by the Turkish government to deny that a genocide occurred\, this talk attempts to explain why the Young Turk government of the Ottoman Empire came to believe that their Armenian and Assyrian subjects were existential threats to their security and needed to be eliminated.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Power and Performance: The Bruges Mantelpiece to Charles V
DESCRIPTION:How were political art works able to mediate between rival interests\, to enhance the power and presence of rulers while buttressing the competing rights and privileges of their subjects? And in what ways did sculpture address these problems that painting could not? The carved mantelpiece dedicated to Charles V in Bruges is a revealing example that derives its agency partly from rituals designed to reconcile these conflicting demands.\n\nThe mantelpiece\, with its life-size statues encroaching on communal space\, could induce a series of performances by beholders\, structured by memories of previous social and political practices. Such monuments might best be explored through notions of performativity\, of collective acts both executed and retraced that regulated power relationships. Their spatial\, plastic\, and material properties are all essential to its efficacy in shaping beliefs and framing public interaction.\n\nMatt Kavaler is director\, Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies\, Victoria College in the University of Toronto

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:26th David W. Belin Lecture: \"Pigskin Isn't Kosher: American Jewry as a Political Football\"
DESCRIPTION:In an era when American political discourse is marked by deep polarization along partisan and ideological lines\, American Jewry has found itself sought out\, or manipulated\, as a potential swing vote. More than ever during the years of the Obama presidency and Netanyahu prime ministership\, political conservatives in both the United States and Israel have looked for wedge issues that can move American Jewish voters away from their tradition fealty to the Democratic Party and liberal values. The current vitriolic debate over the Iran nuclear deal is\, in many ways\, the logical extension of mobilizing efforts that go back to 2008 and have antecedents decades earlier. This lecture\, and the essay that will arise from it\, will look at the religious\, cultural\, demographic\, and generational forces that underlay the currently fractious and embittered state of American Jewry and its Israeli brethren – a blow-up that is not nearly as sudden or unexpected as one might believe.\n\nSamuel G. Freedman is an award-winning author\, columnist\, and professor. A columnist for The New York Times and a professor at Columbia University\, he is the author of the seven acclaimed books\, most recently Breaking The Line: The Season in Black College Football That Transformed the Game and Changed the Course of Civil Rights (2013). His previous books are Small Victories: The Real World of a Teacher\, Her Students and Their High School (1990)\; Upon This Rock: The Miracles of a Black Church (1993)\; The Inheritance: How Three Families and America Moved from Roosevelt to Reagan and Beyond (1996)\; Jew vs. Jew: The Struggle for the Soul of American Jewry (2000)\; Who She Was: My Search for My Mother’s Life (2005)\; and Letters To A Young Journalist (2006).\nA tenured professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism\, Freedman was named the nation's outstanding journalism educator in 1997 by the Society of Professional Journalists. In 2012\, he received Columbia University’s coveted Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching. Freedman’s class in book-writing has developed more than 70 authors\, editors\, and agents\, and it has been featured in Publishers Weekly and the Christian Science Monitor. He is a board member of the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prizes and Religion News Service as well as a judge in the non-fiction category for the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. Freedman has spoken at the Smithsonian Institution\, Yale University\, and UCLA\, among other venues\, and has appeared on National Public Radio\, CNN\, the PBS News Hour\, MSNBC and ESPN.\n\nFreedman holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, which he received in May 1977.

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: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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Communion of the Apostles and Its Iconographic Variants: Reassessing the Met Epimanikia (10.168.1 and 10.168.2)
DESCRIPTION:The Communion of the Apostles is a theme common to Byzantine icons\, textiles\, and mural cycles. Two embroidered epimanikia\, or liturgical cuffs\, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art display this subject not uncommon to such liturgical objects worn by Orthodox priests during liturgical celebrations. The Met cuffs\, however\, present a variant of the theme that suggests\, as I argue in this paper\, a different original form and function for these two objects--different from the ones assumed once the embroideries were trimmed and paired. In exploring the iconographical variants of the Communion of the Apostles theme\, especially as they appeared on liturgical embroideries beginning in the fifteenth century in the Byzantine-Slavic cultural sphere\, I seek to reconstruct the original forms and functions of the Met cuffs.

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:Reproducing Regional Inequality: The Case of Sao Paulo\, Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Brazil has an unenviable reputation as a society plagued by persistent inequalities\, a problem that manifests itself not only between the different social classes and racial categories\, but also across regions. Sao Paulo\, long the most populous and economically dynamic state\, has many of the attributes of a highly industrialized nation\, whereas the northeast of Brazil has struggled with elevated rates of poverty and economic stagnation. In this talk Prof. Weinstein explores the narratives of regional difference and how they draw on race as an explanatory factor. She also contends that contrasting identities do not merely reflect existing regional differences but have actual material affects\; that is\, they heighten and reproduce regional inequalities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ford Motor Company Distinguished Lecture in Physics
DESCRIPTION:Dr. H. Eugene Stanley\nWilliam Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor\; \nDirector\, Center for Polymer Studies\;\nProfessor of Physics\, Chemistry\, Biomedical \nEngineering\, and Physiology (School of Medicine)\nBoston University\n\nLecture Abstract:\nDr. H. Eugene Stanley will introduce some of the 73 documented anomalies of the most complex of liquids\, water—focusing on recent progress in understanding these anomalies by combining information provided by recent experiments and simulations on water designed to test the hypothesis that liquid water has behavior consistent with the novel phenomenon of “liquid polymorphism” in that water can exist in two distinct phases. He will also discuss very recent work on nanoconfined water anomalies as well as the apparently related\, and highly unusual\, behavior of water in biological environments. Finally\, Dr. Stanley will discuss how the general concept of liquid polymorphism is proving useful in understanding anomalies in other liquids\, such as silicon and silica\, as well as metallic glasses\, which have in common that they are characterized by two characteristic length scales in their interactions.

The OUTlist serves as a database where University Community members can connect with one another and where individuals new to the community can look to for resources. \n\nWe want to recognize that there are many people who cannot contribute to the creation of community as a part of the OUTlist because it may not be safe for them to be out in this way. We want to affirm that there are many ways the people exist in LGBTQ communities and that this list is one way to find support on campus. \n\nFor more information\, visit: https://spectrumcenter.umich.edu/outlist/

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Latino Americans: 500 Years of History Series Part 6: \"Peril and Promise (1980-2000)\"
DESCRIPTION:This program will be presented in Spanish.\n\nCristhian Espinoza-Pino\, Lecturer IV in the Spanish Department and PALMA Faculty Advisor at the University of Michigan Residential College leads this screening and discussion of the film Peril and Promise (1980–2000). In the 80s\, the nature of the Latino Diaspora changes again. From Cuba a second wave of refugees to the United States—the Mariel exodus—floods Miami. The same decade sees the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans (Salvadorans\, Guatemalans\, and Nicaraguans) fleeing death squads and mass murders at home\, including activist Carlos Vaquerano. By the early 1990s\, a political debate over illegal immigration has begun. Globalization\, empowered by NAFTA\, means that as U.S. manufacturers move south\, Mexican workers head north in record numbers. A backlash ensues: tightened borders\, anti-bilingualism\, state laws to declare all illegal immigrants felons. But a sea change is underway: the coalescence of a new phenomenon called Latino American culture as Latinos spread geographically and make their mark in music\, sports\, politics\, business\, and education. Gloria Estefan leads the Miami Sound Machine creating crossover hits in Spanish and English. Oscar de la Hoya\, a Mexican-American boxer from L.A.\, becomes an Olympic gold medalist and the nation's Golden Boy. Is a new Latino world being created here as the Latino population and influence continues to grow? Alternatively\, will Latinos in America eventually assimilate into invisibility\, as other groups have done so many times?\n\nLatinos present a challenge and an opportunity for the United States. America's largest and youngest growing sector of the population presents what project advisor Professor Marta Tienda calls The Hispanic Moment. Their success could determine the growth of the United States in the twenty-first century\; however\, their failure contributing to an underclass could also pull this country down. The key\, according to Tienda and Eduardo J. Padron\, Ph.D.\, President of Miami Dade Community College\, is education.\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. The AADL series is also co-sponsored by Michigan Radio and the U-M Latina/o Studies Program and is part of an NEH initiative\, The Common Good: The Humanities In the Public Square. For more information on Latino Americans: 500 Years of History programs at AADL\, please visit aadl.org/latinoamericans.\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nMichigan Radio

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. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

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:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\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: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:MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT FOR HEART FAILURE
DESCRIPTION:Heart failure is a growing epidemic. Transplantation remains the best treatment for long-term survival. However\, transplant is limited by the number of available donors\, plateaued at approximately 2\,500 cases per year. Mechanical circulatory support with artificial blood pumps can effectively treat patients with end-stage heart failure. These devices have evolved considerably\, now allowing long-term survival to approach that of heart 
transplantation. Dr. Haft will discuss the evolution of mechanically supported circulation 
including the use of Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) and the Total Artificial Heart.\n\nDr. Haft is a practicing cardiac surgeon at the University of Michigan and the Associate 
Director of the Cardiovascular Center Intensive Care Unit. His clinical interests include adult cardiac surgery\, mechanical circulatory support\, heart transplantation\, critical care and
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Biomedical Breakthroughs: The Future is Here. The next lecture will be March 31\, entitled MEDICAL 3D PRINTING TO SAVE LIVES

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: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.

Together with the original manga series by Yuki Suetsugu\, this anime has generated a new boom in utagaruta\, a traditional Japanese card game based on Hyakunin isshu (Hundred Poets\, One Poem Each\, the 1230s)\, which was compiled by Fujiwara Teika\, a celebrated courtier poet. This lecture will elucidate in particular the significance of the color red in Suetsugu’s innovative construction of a voice for shôjo (少女\, “girl”) heroines—a new voice that matures through the poetic language of love.\n\nCatherine Ryu is associate professor of Japanese Literature and Culture at Michigan State University. Her teaching and research areas include classical Japanese\, gender studies\, and game studies. She is also the inventor of Cube2Cube (C2C)\, a visualization platform\, which she uses to teach classical Japanese grammar.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Mock Law Class Taught by Twice Wolverine\, Cardozo Law Vice Dean and Prof. Richard A. Bierschbach (Lunch refreshments provided)
DESCRIPTION:Professor Bierschbach will teach a mock law school class on the following issue: Should corporations have constitutional rights?  The class will begin by covering the basic question of what a corporation is\, and will then turn to discuss the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby\, which dealt with whether corporations can assert claims of religious belief.  It is not necessary for students to read the case in advance.  Professor Bierschbach will explain the opinion briefly and use it to raise interesting issues of both corporate and constitutional law\, such as on whose behalf corporations act\, how far we should go in extending to corporations rights that we ordinarily think of as applying only to natural persons\, and what the consequences of doing so might be.\n\nRichard A. Bierschbach is a Vice Dean and Law Professor at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City. He specializes in alternative sentencing\, criminal law\, and white-collar crime.  \n\nPre-registration required by clicking \"Join event\" at https://umich.joinhandshake.com/events/10166\n\nLight lunch refreshments available.

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:Ports\, Archives\, Museums
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores methodological questions for the interdisciplinary scholar who interprets archival documents and material culture for the recovery of transhemispheric links between Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.\n\nLisa Lowe is Professor of English and American Studies at Tufts University and author of the recent book\, \"The Intimacies of Four Continents\" (Duke University Press\, 2015). In this uniquely interdisciplinary work\, Lisa Lowe examines the relationships between Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries\, exploring the links between colonialism\, slavery\, imperial trades and Western liberalism. Reading across archives\, canons\, and continents\, Lowe connects the liberal narrative of freedom overcoming slavery to the expansion of Anglo-American empire\, observing that abstract promises of freedom often obscure their embeddedness within colonial conditions. Race and social difference\, Lowe contends\, are enduring remainders of colonial processes through which “the human” is universalized and “freed” by liberal forms\, while the peoples who create the conditions of possibility for that freedom are assimilated or forgotten. Analyzing the archive of liberalism alongside the colonial state archives from which it has been separated\, Lowe offers new methods for interpreting the past\, examining events well documented in archives\, and those matters absent\, whether actively suppressed or merely deemed insignificant. Lowe invents a mode of reading intimately\, which defies accepted national boundaries and disrupts given chronologies\, complicating our conceptions of history\, politics\, economics\, and culture\, and ultimately\, knowledge itself.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Race\, Colonialism\, and Sexualities Initiative.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:​Abstract: A large portion of the labor force in many large factories in developing countries consists of internal migrants from rural areas\, who may have little information about the industry upon beginning work. We examine whether workers' lack of information affects working conditions in the garment industry in Bangladesh. We use a retrospective panel of the wages and working conditions of 991 garment workers (matched to the factories they work in) collected in 2009. We find that internal migrants work in factories with worse conditions\, but move towards factories with better conditions as they gain experience. These facts are consistent with a model in which migrants are poorly informed about working conditions upon beginning work but do learn as they gain experience in the industry.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Speaker Series presents Dr. J. Chris Pires\, Associate Professor\, University of Missouri
DESCRIPTION:Ancient whole genome duplications (WGDs) are ubiquitous throughout the evolutionary history of higher eukaryotic lineages. These events have been hypothesized to be the basis for major evolutionary transitions\, including the origin of novel traits in large species radiations across plants\, fungi\, protozoa\, and animals. Repeated rounds of WGDs\, or polyploid events\, have been best documented among the flowering plants\, and tend to be phylogenetically near the origin of speciose clades. However\, the mechanism driving diversification remains poorly understood. We analyzed the impact of the two most recent WGDs in Arabidopsis on diversification rates and the origin of novel phenotypes. Phylogenetic analyses of these two WGDs show that both events occurred following mass extinction events. The origin of two novel classes of chemical defenses\, indole and met- derived glucosinolates (i.e. mustard oils)\, are associated with duplicated regulatory and biosynthetic pathways that arose via WGDs. Our analyses suggest that the origin of these novel defense compounds spurred anevolutionary arms-race with insect herbivores\, resulting in massive co-radiations of both the host plant and predatory insects.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxlmgRk0-CU&index=45&list=PLY8QfwKxxfG5m5mkB3f3nNO5bF0cYKXqV

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Time Crimes: The 20th Century’s Long Now\"
DESCRIPTION:In this j’accuse\, Professor Edwards prosecutes the 20th century for its crimes against time. The major charges include disrupting biological time\, mechanizing time\, killing eternity\, chopping time up\, accelerating time\, multiplying futures\, and enfeebling the past. The primary and most serious charge\, however\, is that the 20th century occupied the planetary future\, colonizing it for its own needs with reckless disregard. By altering characteristics of the Earth itself—in ways likely to endure throughout all future human history and even beyond\, into geological time—the 20th century asserted a murderous and tyrannical power over time\, far beyond the feeble attempts of any of its predecessors to do the same.\n\nThe evidence in his case will reference infrastructures and sociotechnical systems built and spread across the planet during the long 20th century. Among them are electric power\, standard time zones\, fossil fuels\, digital computers\, nuclear weapons\, and nuclear power. His primary exhibit—connecting all of the others in sometimes unexpected ways—will be the history of meteorology and global climate science. Ironically\, the latter willingly participated in these terrible crimes even as it rose up to stop them.\n\nPaul N. Edwards is a professor in the School of Information and the Department of History at the University of Michigan. His research explores the history\, politics\, and cultural aspects of computers\, information infrastructures\, and global climate science. Professor Edwards is co-editor (with Geoffrey C. Bowker) of the Infrastructures book series (MIT Press)\, and he serves on the editorial boards of Big Data & Society: Critical Interdisciplinary Inquiries and Information & Culture: A Journal of History. His most recent book is A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming (MIT Press\, 2010).\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday 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:THE DAAS ZORA NEALE HURSTON LECTURE:KEEPING COOL AND GETTING HOT: THE PHILOSOPHIC FIREPOWER OF YORUBA CIVILIZATION
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Afroamerican and African Studies Zora Neale Hurston lecture seeks to facilitate the cultivation of scholarship by drawing attention to the function of grounding\, translation\, and expertise in scholarly and professional practice. It is named in honor of Zora Neale Hurston\, the most prolific African-American woman writer of her time or earlier. Using the power of her imagery and the richness of the cultures she brought to life through her writings\, Hurston continues to serve as an inspiration for those seeking to fulfill their intellectual curiosity.  \n Michael Awkward\, Director of what was then the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies initiated the ZNH Lecture in 1994 with a presentation by Arnold Rampersad on the work of writer Langston Hughes\, a Hurston colleague. Over the past 20 years\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies has continually sought to engage prominent public intellectuals from across the globe to speak on a topic of their choice in Hurston’s honor. Speakers such as Alice Walker\, former Director Ali Mazrui\,  Geneva Smitherman\, Mary Frances Berry\, Cheryl Wall\, Brenda Gottschild Dixon\, Lorna Goodison\, Dorothea Smartt\, Farah Jasmine Griffin\, Sharon Holland and others have shared their perspective on a wide variety of subjects. In doing so\, these scholars exemplify Hurston’s insatiable inquisitiveness as she once noted\, “Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.”

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Andrea Zittel
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Zittel's sculptures and installations transform everything necessary for life — eating\, sleeping\, bathing\, and socializing — into artful experiments in living. Blurring the lines between life and art\, Zittel's projects extend to her own home and wardrobe. Wearing a single outfit every day for an entire season\, and constantly remodeling her home to suit changing demands and interests\, Zittel continually reinvents her relationship to her domestic and social environment. Influenced by Modernist design and architecture from the early twentieth century\, the artist's one-woman mock organization\, A–Z Administrative Services\, develops furniture\, homes\, and vehicles for contemporary consumers with a similar simplicity and attention to order. Seeking to attain a sense of freedom through structure\, Zittel is more interested in revealing the human need for order than in prescribing a single unifying design principle or style.\nZittel's work has been exhibited internationally in galleries\, museums\, and biennales including the New Museum of Contemporary Art (NYC)\, the Museum of Contemporary Art (CA)\, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA)\, Museum of Modern Art\, Guggenheim Museum (NYC)\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art among others. She is also co-organizer of High Desert Test Sites\, a non-profit that supports experimental art projects in the Joshua Tree region.

DESCRIPTION:Patty Larkin has redefined folk music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromsing lyrics and vocals. Guitar World calls her music \"genre-stretching\, string-popping alterna-folk.\" As an instrumentalist\, she skillfully and effortlessly mixes rock\, folk\, blues\, Celtic\, and funk styles. She is a guitar sorceress who has honed a reputation as a musician’s musician\, and she occupies a unique space where Beck meets Richard Thompson\, where Beth Orton intersects with Guy Clark\, where Me'Shell NdegéOcello fuses with Bob Dylan. It'd be hard to think of a better place than The Ark to appreciate the full measure of this remarkable musician's artistry! Patty comes to Michigan with a brand-new release\, \"Still Green.\" This collection of new songs chronicles Patty's search for relief\, respite and solace during a time when she lost both of her parents\, and witnessed a sister suffer a serious health issue.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? 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. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

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:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Micro/IO
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is a public monopoly which purchases alcoholic beverages from upstream manufacturers for sale in state-run stores. We estimate a discrete choice demand model in this vertical market to show that upstream firms have significant market power despite a large and diverse product set. We find that a change in policy by the regulator to either reduce alcohol consumption or increase revenue can be reversed by these firms with minimal level of coordination in prices. Further\, the regulator's inability or unwillingness to modify policy in response to changes in demand increases profits for the firms while decreasing retail prices for consumers. This suggests that taxation and price controls can encourage firms to employ tools such as advertising or product innovation which are outside of the regulator's purview.

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:IISS Workshop. \"The Mongol King\, the Prophet Muhammad\, and the Buddha: Inter-faith Disputations and Sacred Kingship in Medieval Iran.\"
DESCRIPTION:About this workshop: We will discuss the fourth chapter of Jonathan Brack’s dissertation “Mediating Sacred Kingship: Conversion and Sovereignty in Mongol Iran.” In his dissertation\, Jonathan demonstrates how Muslim perceptions of sacred kingship were shaped through inter-religious interactions at the Mongol court in 13th-14th centuries Iran (the Ilkhanate).\n\nIn chapter four\, Jonathan explores how the Ilkhanid vizier Rashid al-Din (d. 1317) experimented with the classical boundaries separating prophethood and sainthood from kingship in Muslim theological thought to make room for a new rank of an exceptional\, sacred and saintly Muslim kingship. The chapter focuses on the vizier’s neglected theological writings to show that Rashid al-Din appropriated and expanded the Ashʿarite theologian and exegetist Fakhr al-Din al-Razi’s (d. 1210) hierarchy of human souls to mediate between Mongol notions of sacred kingship and Islamic worldviews. Paying particular attention the vizier’s polemical anti-Buddhist works\, the chapter further argues that the Ilkhanid vizier used this new Islamic theologically grounded model of sacred authority to claim to himself the exclusive position of the Mongol ruler’s intermediary in a court dominated by inter-religious\, inter-confessional and inter-personal rivalries and competition.\n\n*** Please RSVP to Golriz Farshi (gfarshi@umich.edu) for reading materials***

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:“flip. peasant. spanish.: Gender\, Defective Spanish\, and Linguistic Incapacity in the Comparative US-Mexican-Philippine Borderlands”
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP to obmora@umich.edu to receive copy of chapter. Snacks will be served!\n\nDrawing on comparative ethnic studies\, this paper examines the comparative affinities between Chicana/o and Filipina/o racialization in the US-Mexico Borderlands through a postcolonial disability optic. By including the Philippines as a borderlands where US transpacific imperialism and Spanish colonialism have historically overlapped – the very same colonial projects that have informed the various formations of the US-Mexican corridor – I propose a re-consideration of the border as an “herida abierta”\, as iconized by Gloria Anzaldúa\, as a Chicana disability theory that helps to explain the comparartive racializations of Filipino postcoloniality. Through a consideration of Brian Ascalon Roley’s Filipino-Chicano novel\, American Son (2001)\, alongside Borderlands/La Frontera\, I develop the concept “linguistic incapacity” to examine the vulnerabilities of linguistic colonialism and the racial embodiments and defects of language.\n\nI use Anzaldúa canonical chapter\, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”\, which proposes the liberation and maintenance of defective disabled Spanishes (“somos las del español deficiente)\, as a lens to understand American Son’s representations of wounded “castrated” Filipino masculinities within a US-Mexican borderscape. I interpose the critiques of “racial castration” of Asian American queer studies alongside the wounded tongues of Chicana feminist theory to suggest that in American Son the disability of castration is rehabilitated through the mixed-race mis-recognition of Filipinos as Latinos in a US racial imaginary. The “castrated mestizo” represents the intersection of Chicano and Filipino embodiment. I attempt to understand the polysemous Filipino body\, whose provenance is a “Hispanic Asia”\, through the optic of Chicana feminist theory. This inevitably leads me to the question of “Flip Spanish” - a “wild tongue” that is not characterized by the preservation of anomalous Spanish but rather through its absent presence\, a condition I term “linguistic incapacity”. What can absence\, linguistic defect\, and language deficits tell us about the comparative racial projects of US imperialism? What can the “racial errors” of misrecognition bring to disability theory? Finally\, what can comparative ethnic studies gain from expanding its modes of inquiry to include disability? What does comparative Filipina/o and Latina/o scholarship look like?

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:CJS Special Lecture | At Play in Atomic Japan: KATHY's Radical Kawaii (Cute) Choreography of Failure
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I examine the choreographic enterprise of the 21st-century all-female performance collective KATHY\, who create tableau-vivant\, which they bring to life with their pop-ritual dancing\, ballet\, tea ceremonies\, and environmental\, object\, and audience interactions. KATHY's kawaii mixes and twists the traditional kawaii culture of Heian women's writing and Edo kabuki musume with the spectacularly contemporary Hello-Kitty-pink-globalization\, anime\, and J-POP. I argue that KATHY is part of a (gendered) (false) (post-3/11) (avant-garde) movement of Japanese artists who deploy kawaii shôjo (cute girl) iconography as a radical weapon to skewer the current social\, political and economic malaise.\n\nKatherine Mezur is a freelance dance\, theatre\, and performance studies scholar\, dramaturg\, choreographer and director. Her work focuses on transnational East Asian performance practices\, histories\, and theories. She writes on Japanese traditional and contemporary performance\, girl cultures and their live and mediated performances\, and gender technologies from kabuki to J-pop.

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:Judaic Classics Series: \"Social Power and Religious Communication in the Roman Empire: Orthopraxy and Orthodoxy\"
DESCRIPTION:In this paper Professor Rives will sketch out a model for mapping religious change in the Roman Empire\, a model built around the contrast between orthopraxy and orthodoxy.  He begins by outlining what he sees as the key characteristics of these two social systems\, focusing especially on how those with power exercise that power in matters concerning human relations with the divine world.  Professor Rives then explores each of them in turn in more detail\, through the specific examples of the practice of animal sacrifice\, in the case of orthopraxy\, and Paul’s letter to the Galatians\, in the case of orthodoxy.  He concludes by stressing that his goal is simply to develop a model that can describe certain key aspects of religious change in the Roman imperial period and that\, like all models\, it simplifies and abstracts\, and so obscures a fair amount of complexity and nuance.\n\nSponsored by: Classical Studies\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Biotic and Abiotic Controls on the Origin of a Modern Grassland Ecosystem Over the Last Five Million Years
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the origin of modern communities is a fundamental goal of ecology\, but reconstructing the history of communities that include species with stratigraphic durations on the scale of hundreds of thousands to millions of years necessarily requires data from the fossil record. Similarly\, inferences about the paleoecology of past communities are most robust when informed by data from both living and fossil populations of extant species. Despite the logical connections between ecology and paleoecology\, relatively few studies have bridged the gaps in the characteristic observational timescales and methodologies of these disciplines to achieve a comprehensive view of the long-term evolution of specific modern communities.  The need to bridge these disciplinary gaps is increasingly pressing in the face of anthropogenic climate change and uncertainty about the magnitude and direction of responses by local communities. This large collaborative project examines the ecological\, environmental\, and climatic context of the origin of the modern small mammal community in the grasslands of the central USA over the last five million years. We are testing the effects of both biological and non-biological factors on long-term taxonomic turnover and ecological change in a stratigraphic sequence of local communities using a combination of ecomorphology\, biogeochemistry\, paleoclimate modeling\, and biogeography. Our results so far are consistent with a surprisingly small role for climate or habitat changes in structuring faunal changes\, suggesting that biological interactions among small mammal species may be more important.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Struggles for Citizenship around the Bay of Bengal
DESCRIPTION:As the lands that bordered the eastern Indian Ocean gained independence from colonial rule between 1947 and 1957\, they renegotiated their relations with one another\, and jostled for position in a world divided by the new tensions of the Cold War. The Bay of Bengal became a sea of nations\; this lecture examines the histories of the many communities that were marooned or displaced by those transformations in sovereignty. It considers the multiple struggles for citizenship that took place in the first decade after independence – in Sri Lanka\, Burma\, and Malaysia - by peoples of South Asian origin\, many of them second- or third-generation residents overseas\, who now had to find their place as “minorities” within new nation states. As well as providing a comparative view of the different political trajectories these struggles took\, this lecture also examines the question of “endings” in Indian Ocean history\, arguing that we must be as attentive to the breaking of connections as to the connectedness so celebrated in recent historical scholarship.\n\nSunil Amrith is the Mehra Family Professor of South Asian Studies at Harvard University. His research is on the trans-regional movement of people\, ideas\, and institutions. Areas of particular interest include the history of public health and poverty\, the history of migration\, and environmental history. His most recent work has been on the Bay of Bengal as a region connecting South and Southeast Asia. He has a PhD in History (2005) from the University of Cambridge\, where he was also a Research Fellow of Trinity College (2004-6).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Final-devoicing and phonological neutralization in Castilian Spanish
DESCRIPTION:Synchronic rules of word-final devoicing are unnatural to the extent that consonants are devoiced not only before pause (or a voiceless consonant)\, but also in the intervocalic position\, preceding a vowel-initial word\, a context that should favor voicing instead. A common assumption is that devoicing starts diachronically in the prepausal context\, where it is phonetically motivated\, and from there it spreads to the phrase-medial context by analogy. In order to test this hypothesis\, I examine the optional devoicing of final /-d/ in the Spanish of northwestern Spain (Old Castile)\, using a corpus of conversational speech. In this Spanish variety\, /-d/ variably devoices to a voiceless fricative or deletes. The results show that voiceless fricatives are found in all phrasal contexts\, but with significantly higher frequency before pause than before a vowel\, lending support to the hypothesis of extension of the devoicing from the former context to the latter. The devoicing of /-d/ is neutralizing. Voiceless fricative realizations of /-d/ do not differ from those of phonemic /-θ/ either in amount of voicing or in duration. The two phonemes\, however\, are not systematically neutralized word finally\, since\, as mentioned\, another common option for /-d/ is its deletion (other realizations\, including stops and voiced approximant are uncommon in our corpus). Phonemic /- θ/\, on the other hand\, is not subject to deletion.Whereas the deletion of /-d/ has some lexical exceptions\, its devoicing does not.  Among the majority of /d/-final words\, for which deletion is possible\, the relative frequency with which they undergo deletion vs. devoicing appears to vary substantially depending on the lexical item. That is\, both position in phrase and lexical identity probabilistically determine the realization of /-d/.

SUMMARY:Performance:Birds of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Birds of Chicago\, the collective centered around Allison Russell and JT Nero\, reassert the simple notion—radical in these times—that beautiful words and music can still tap deep veins of emotion. With stark\, elemental imagery that feels like scripture\, or a lost folk song recovered\, The Birds draw heavily on the gospel tradition\, and the music feels like a new\, secular gospel of sorts. For Birds of Chicago\, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting\, no filler. Music is the good news and Real Midnight\, the band’s poignant new Joe Henry–produced album\, throbs with an urgency that feels quietly seismic. On Real Midnight\, Birds of Chicago alternate moody rock swagger with the ghostliest of soundscapes. The album is a melancholy—but never shoe-gazing—suite\, raw and soul-rich. Birds of Chicago have developed a fervent following\, touring 200 nights a year since their formation in late 2012.  For these Birds\, singing for a room full of new people\, hearts wide open\, keeps off the cold and chases off the shadows.

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. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\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:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

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: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: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.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Subdudes
DESCRIPTION:Before there were terms like \"roots rock\,\" there were the Subdudes and their acoustic accordion-flavored (and tambourine-spiked) musical brew that came straight out of the warmth and soul of their native New Orleans. The band came together at the famed Tipitina's club in 1987 and took their awesomely funky blues-rock on the road for ten years\, winning fans everywhere. The Subdudes\, noted the All Music Guide's Tammy La Gorce\, \"aren't just stellar musicians of the swampy jazz-rock-blues New Orleans persuasion\, as they've come to be known. They're also a group of guys whose working-class roots run as definitively\, and maybe as deeply\, as Bruce Springsteen's.\" The Subdudes sound has persisted through several changes of personnel\, and now they're back\, with Steve Amedée on tambourine\, making a joyful noise in the world's funkiest city and beyond.Come back soon for more info!
