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: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.

DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

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:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

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: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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Macpodz 10 Year Anniversary & CD Release Party
DESCRIPTION:\"You can dance to jazz ... again\,\" promise the Macpodz\, who bring sophisticated funk to put the perfect wrap on your weekend. Call their music jazz-rock\, as some have\, or disco-bebop\, as they themselves do: the bottom line is that their music is varied\, tight\, sophisticated\, and extremely fun rhythmically. This Ann Arbor band falls into a tradition going back to Miles Davis and Frank Zappa\, but they push the boundaries of rock\, jazz\, and fusion music to create something new that's gaining admirers all over the country. Among the raves the Macpodz have earned is one from the Toledo City Paper\, which noticed \"lots and lots of swinging horn licks that rouse and comfort all at once.\" The Macpodz are popular far beyond Michigan now\, but their Ark shows are legendary—their \"Live at The Ark\" album was recorded here\, and we think it's the perfect place for them to celebrate a big anniversary.

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: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. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Presentation:2016 Women's Studies Honors Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Ebere Oparaeke\n\"'I'm a black woman\, we been doin this!' How black women conceptualize and enact agency in the home birth space\"\n\nThere currently is limited research about the motivations and experiences of black women who give birth at home\, and instead it is framed as a choice for advantaged\, white women.   With the assumption that giving birth at home allows women more control over their birth\, this project focuses on how black women who have given birth at home think about birth\, how they create birth spaces that prioritize their decisions\, and what particular experiences or challenges black women may face in deciding their place of birth. Using a reproductive justice framework\, this project seeks to understand the current state of planned home birth for black women in the context of health disparities\, limited choices for place of birth\, and challenges in accessing a range of options. This thesis positions black women who give birth at home within the history of black reproduction that extends generations to assert that black women make the decision to home birth within unique historical legacies. The narratives collected indicate that black women’s creation of agentic home birth spaces is done through the support they foster from providers and family\, their rejection of medicalized birth spaces\, and their ability to access the care they seek. In this agentic space\, they are truly able to experience birth as an empowering and life-changing process.  Advisor: Lisa Kane Low and Leseliey Welch\n\nKatherine Irani\n\"Violence and Voicelessness: Experiences of Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence on College Campuses\"\n\nMedia coverage of sexual assault on college campuses has resulted in an uprising of social media campaigns and student activism. The student-led movement has called for extensive policy changes in higher education. However\, intimate partner violence (IPV)\, has fallen to the margins and not received the same attention. Consequently\, the survivor-centered movement and policy changes have centered the experiences of only a certain type of survivor\, making it difficult for IPV survivors to seek justice and support from their institutions. Furthermore\, the movement has largely failed to take into account the intersections of social identity and how marginalized social identities are accounted for within school policies and services. In this thesis\, the experiences of college student survivors of IPV are centered and their experiences with whom they have worked with and sought support from are examined intersectionally\, both in experience and identity. The purpose of qualitative interviews with student IPV survivors (n=24) is to better understand their experiences receiving services from their schools and working within these systems. Of the 24 students interviewed\, 18 did not receive the help or support that they needed from their school. Based on their experiences\, this thesis argues that within intersectional theory both identities and experiences are marginalized within the violence prevention movement. Advisor:  Anna Kirkland\n \nSophia Kotov\n\"Let's Talk About Non-Monogamy: Self-Labeling\, Actual Practice\, and What Happens in the Interstices\"\n\nAmong life’s milestones include one’s first kiss\, high school prom\, engagement\, wedding\, and having children. Not only is monogamy a deeply ingrained norm\, it is tied closely to personal identity. This thesis explores the experiences of individuals who depart from this pervasive norm. Two overarching questions guide this exploration: 1) How do college students talk about their non-monogamous relationships?\; and 2) What factors contribute to a college student’s decision to pursue such a relationship? For the first question\, I focus on how non-monogamous individuals approach labeling their relationship\, as well as if they describe their non-monogamy to be an innate characteristic or a personal choice. In answering the second question\, I describe the impacts of the social pressure of monogamy\, the role of gender\, and the present day context of dating and hook-up culture on college students’ decisions to be in a non-monogamous relationship.  Advisor: Dean Hubbs\n\nMcKenzie Campbell\n\"Fifty Shades of Agency: The Impact of Fifty Shades of Grey on Sexual Agency in America\"\n\nThe immense popularity of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey was due to the book’s erotic rendering of a largely heteronormative tale of taboo sexual encounters. This book created a unique space for women in the United States to question their own sexuality and specifically\, their sexual agency. In The Agency Line: A Neoliberal Metric for Appraising Young Women’s Sexuality\, Laina Bay-Chang defines sexual agency as the neoliberal imperative to make choices about ones sexual agency. Through Chang’s model\, the paradoxical understanding of sexual agency highlights the performative nature of hegemonic femininity and traditional gender roles in America that are enacted by main characters\, Christian and Anastasia while engaging in BDSM. This thesis offers a detailed literary analysis of the text in relation to textual consumerism and fandom\, the question of sexual agency more generally\, and what it means to obtain sexual agency through reading practices in 2016.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhat are successful electoral strategies? Should candidates try to persuade “swing” voters or mobilize their “base”? We present a model that can address these and related questions in a single unifi…ed framework. We relate electoral strategies to the characteristics of voting groups\, with the answers to these questions sometimes being surprising. We show how a candidate may have different ways of winning for given characteristics of the electoral population\, with possible “discontinuities ”in electoral positions that win elections. We believe that the model helps clarify some key issues as well as presenting insights into some real-world experience.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An Interview with Dr. Jack Shaheen on Arab and Muslim Stereotypes Over the Last Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jack Shaheen has been studying representations of Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. media since the 1970s. Dr. Jack Shaheen is renowned worldwide for his lectures and published work\, which illustrate the damaging consequences of stereotyping of Arabs and Muslims. Over the last four decades\, Shaheen has collected and analyzed materials that depict Arabs and Muslims as the “godless cultural other.” He has created an archive of materials that is housed at the New York University library. He is best known for his book\, Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People (2001) and the documentary film of the same name (2006). Rather than giving a formal talk\, we plan for a Q&A format in which Evelyn Alsultany\, Director of Arab and Muslim American Studies\, will interview Jack Shaheen about his experiences researching representations of Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. over the last four decades. The objective is to tap into his long experience in documenting media images and their connections to anti-Arab and anti-Muslim policies and perceptions.\n\nReception to follow lecture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Heather Nova
DESCRIPTION:Heather Nova emerged in the early 1990s. Her first album was hailed as \"a stoned black olive among drab greens\" by NME\, and for many years she was well-established in the world of alternative rock. Her live shows have an intensity and uniqueness that have always created a buzz\, with such combinations as a cello plus distorted guitars. Heather's self-penned songs are raw and emotional\, frequently injected with cool pop melodies—a combination that has often seen her fall through genre cracks. This has both helped and hindered her. The London Evening Standard recently called Heather \"one of pop's most enduring enigmas\" for good reason. She has always made her own way and has had little regard for current trends. Her ninth and latest album\, \"The Way It Feels\,\" has echoes of Americana\, bit of dark folk\, a banjo and some pedal steel here and there. Chris Riffle opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Opera Workshop- Green Opera
DESCRIPTION:Two one acts operas\; reduced versions of Rossini’s La Cenerentola (Cinderella)\, sung in Italian with English supertitles\, followed by Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites\, sung in French with English supertitles. Both undergraduate and graduate level students in Robert Swedberg’s Opera Studio program have worked together to offer these two operas under the musical direction of Timothy Cheek and Steven McGhee. \n\nGreen Operas have been developed as a means of considering more sustainable rehearsal and production elements in the presentation of opera\, including the use of recycled materials for musical scores\, costumes\, scenery and properties\, no printed marketing materials or programs (social media and websites instead)\, as well as the use of LED lights and projected scenic elements.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

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:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Critical Internet Cultures: From Selfie Cult to Mask Design
DESCRIPTION:In this monopoly phase of platform capitalism\, selfies and Anonymous are two sides of the same coin. Both emerge from the same root in Western enlightenment that emphasizes individualism and liberation of the Self. Narcissistic self-promotion as well as politically motivated protection of privacy operate under the neo-liberal umbrella of individual empowerment. This raises the strategic question of whether alternative network architectures arise out of a critical reading of such consumer cultures. What’s the state of the art in critical internet cultures in this post-Snowden era? What does it mean when the tactics of mainstreaming subcultural practices are running empty in the long run and the realtime meme politics are incapable of solidifying in alternative protocols and infrastructures?\n\nLunch will be provided.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nGeert Lovink is a media theorist\, internet critic and author of Dark Fiber (2002)\, Zero Comments (2007)\, Networks Without a Cause (2012) and Social Media Abyss (2016). Since 2004 he has been a researcher in the School for Communication and Media Design at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) where he is the director of the Institute of Network Cultures. His centre recently organized conferences\, publications and research networks such as Video Vortex (the politics and aesthetics of online video)\, Unlike Us (alternatives in social media)\, Critical Point of View (Wikipedia)\, Society of the Query (the culture of search)\, MoneyLab (bitcoins\, crowdfunding & internet revenue models) and a project on the future of art criticism. From 2004-2012 he was also associate professor of Mediastudies (MA new media program)\, University of Amsterdam. Since 2009 he has been a professor at the European Graduate School (Saas-Fee) where he supervises PhD students.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nThis series is co-sponsored by the School of Information and the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts. It is made possible with support from the John D. Evans Foundation. This lecture is a co-presentation of Michigan Interactive and Social Computing (MISC).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrea Bachner\, Associate Professor\, Department of Comparative Literature\, Cornell University\n\nThis talk will focus on contestations of the stereotype of Chinese cruelty in recent Chinese culture\, especially in Mo Yan’s 2001 novel \"The Sandalwood Execution\" and the 2002 video installation \"Ling chi: Echoes of a Historical Photograph\" by Taiwanese artist Chen Chieh-jen. In dialogue with prejudiced representations of China in the West\, such as the circulation of photographs of Chinese executions after the Boxer Rebellion or Georges Bataille’s \"Tears of Eros\" of 1961\, as well as Chinese reflections on cruelty and spectatorship\, Mo Yan and Chen foreground different media to rethink the link between interculturality and violence.  \n\nAndrea Bachner is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Cornell University. Her research explores comparative intersections between Sinophone\, Latin American\, and European cultural productions in dialogue with theories of interculturality\, sexuality\, and mediality. Her first book\, \"Beyond Sinology: Chinese Writing and the Scripts of Cultures\" (Columbia University Press\, 2014)\, analyzes how the Chinese script has been imagined in recent decades in literature and film\, visual and performance art\, design and architecture\, both within Chinese cultural contexts and in different parts of the “West.” She is the co-editor (with Carlos Rojas) of the \"Oxford Handbook of Modern Chinese Literatures\" (forthcoming 2016) and has published articles in \"Comparative Literature\,\" \"Comparative Literature Studies\,\" \"Concentric\, German Quarterly\,\" \"Modern Chinese Literature and Culture\,\" \"Taller de Letras\" as well as in several edited volumes. She has just completed a genealogy of the concept of inscription that probes the media imaginaries of poststructuralist theory (\"Inscriptive Passions\, Poststructuralist Prehistories\") and is currently working on a reflection on the limits of comparison through an exploration of the rich history of cultural contact\, exchange\, and affinity between Latin American and Chinese cultures from the late 19th century to today (\"Comparison at the Margins: Latin America and the Sinophone World\").

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:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Tuesday Talk: “Stuart Hall: History\, Politics\, and Theory”
DESCRIPTION:Stuart Hall played a central role in shaping the field of contemporary cultural studies\; influenced theoretical discussions on multiculturalism\, identity\, the class/race nexus and representation\; and was a founder of the new left. In this talk\, Professor Dworkin discusses his work on an intellectual and political study that grapples with the scope and diversity of Hall's life and work. He conceives of the numerous dimensions of Hall’s intellectual and political practice as having their own specificity yet being interrelated. What binds them together is an evolving intellectual style and method\, rooted in Hall's experience of the black diaspora\, or what Hall described as the “in-between.”\n\nDennis L. Dworkin is an affiliated scholar at the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies and a professor of history at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, where he teaches British and Irish history and historical and cultural theory. Among his publications are Cultural Marxism in Postwar Britain: History\, the New Left\, and the Origins of Cultural Studies (Durham: Duke University Press\, 1997)\, Class Struggles (London: Routledge\, 2007)\, and Ireland and Britain\, 1798-1922: An Anthology of Sources (Indianopolis: Hackett\, 2012). \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event is part of the Tuesday Talk 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:Sang-Yong Nam Memorial Lecture | KORUS Alliance: 60 Years and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The Republic of Korea and the United States entered into a security alliance on October 1\, 1953 – the KORUS Alliance. The decisions of the United States to engage in the Korean War of 1950 and to enter into the KORUS alliance of 1953 have been interpreted to mean an important departure from the post- World War II strategy of the United States in Northeast Asia. \n\nOn July 27\, 2013\, President Barack Obama led more than 7\,000 people in a ceremony on the national mall that commemorated both the 60th anniversary of the ceasefire that ended the Korean War and the formation of the KORUS Alliance. Behind the pomp of the military band\, the solemnity of the remembrance\, and the succession of the speeches lay many questions about the history and legacy of the Korea-US Alliance\, including:\n\n-	What factors drove the United States to make the important decisions of 1950 and 1953?\n-	What is the legacy of the Korea-US Alliance? For Korean security? For Korea’s economic development\, which transformed the country from one of the poorest in the world in 1950 to the US’ 6th largest trading partner today? For Korea’s political democratization? For the growth of the Korea-US partnership in important global issues\, including the fight against terrorism\, cooperation in development assistance\, and the containment of epidemics?\n-	How does the United States’ engagement in the Korean War compare with its military engagements in other parts of the world after WWII? Why did President Obama define the Korean War as a “forgotten victory” in his speech at the commemoration ceremony?\n-	What shape will the KORUS Alliance take in the coming 60 years and beyond?\n\nFew are better qualified to answer these questions than Ambassador Ho-Young Ahn. \n\nAmbassador Ahn was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Korea to the United States of America by President Park Geun-hye in May 2013. From 2012 to 2013\, he served as First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade\, and before that he served as Korea’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium and to the European Union. From 2008 to 2011\, he was the Deputy Minister for Trade at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, during which time he served as President Lee Myung-bak’s sherpa to the G-20 and G8 outreach meetings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:China’s War on Information\; Censorship and Control in Xi Jinping’s China (and Beyond)
DESCRIPTION:Why was Pooh Bear the most censored viral post on the Chinese internet in 2015? Why did Chinese officials censor an art exhibition in Bangladesh? Since Xi Jinping took office in 2012\, he has overseen a crackdown on free speech\, targeting writers\, journalists\, artists and human rights lawyers. China ranks 176 countries out of 180 in the global Press Freedom index. Now Beijing’s influence is being seen beyond its borders\, as it increasingly attempts to exert controls overseas and in the contested terrain of cyberspace.

SUMMARY:Performance:Robbie Fulks
DESCRIPTION:Robbie Fulks makes alternative country with a tough\, uncompromising edge. He mixes country twang and rock crunch in songs that have a hard edge and a wicked sense of humor. While some might try to copy old-style country music\, Robbie Fulks not only knows it and loves it\, but also brings its spirit\, its humor\, and sometimes its one-of-a-kind strangeness to his own work. \"Fulks' heroes have been done wrong by women\, the law\, and life itself\, but they keep on going\,\" says the Cincinnati Post. The same might be said of Robbie himself\, who's been blazing his own path for more than 15 years now. His recent work has had a serious\, almost philosophical tinge\, and he comes to The Ark with a much-awaited new album\, \"Upland Stories.\"

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. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:International Colloquium on Knowledge Networks and Health Innovation in the (North and South) Americas
DESCRIPTION:This two-day colloquium assembles leading health researchers from Canada\, the United States\, Cuba\, Costa Rica\, Brazil\, and Portugal to look at patterns of collaboration driving innovations in medical and public health research\, practice\, and policy in the Americas from the late 19th century to the present. Participants will present new research on alternative players within traditional groups of health practitioners (communist public health specialists and veterinarians\, for example)\; and on actors outside the formal health sector such as feminist organizations\, artists and architects\, public policy managers\, and patient activists. The colloquium will lay out an agenda for the next stage in thinking about the “Americas dynamic” in the interplay of global and local in health innovation.\n\nSchedule of Events:\n\nDay 1 – Ann Arbor Conference Room\, U-M Detroit Conference Center\n\n9:00 – 9:15 » Opening Remarks by STEVEN PALMER\, University of Windsor\, Canada\; and ALEXANDRA MINNA STERN\, University of Michigan\, USA\n\n9:15 –10:30 » Specialist Practitioners: Inter-American and Anti-American Networks\n\nGILBERTO HOCHMAN\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “The Red Network: Doctors\, Internationalists\, and Public Health in Cold War Brazil”\n\nJOEL HOWELL\, University of Michigan\, USA\; SIMONE KROPF\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: \"Medicine\, Technology and Politics: Interamericanism and US-Brazil Exchanges in Cardiology in the 1940s\"\n\n10:30 – 10:45 » Coffee break\n\n10:45 – 12:45 » Feminists: Eugenics\, Biotypology\, Reproductive Rights\n\nCAROL VIMIEIRO\, Universidade Federal Minas Gerais\, Brazil: “Average\, Normal and Beautiful: Bodily Representations in Brazilian Biotypology\, 1930-1940”\n\nALEXANDRA STERN\, University of Michigan\, USA: “Genetics and Genomics in Latin America: From Eugenics to Social Justice Uses of Genetics”\n\nMARÍA CARRANZA\, Inciensa\, Costa Rica: “The Awakening of the Women’s Movement to Therapeutic Sterilization and Abortion in Costa Rica: Tracing the Propagation of an Interest.”\n\nANNIKA HARTMANN\, Justus-Liebig University\, Germany: “Discussing the Beginning of Human Life – Medical Knowledge\, Transnational Population Politics and the Abortion Debate in Guatemala in the 1970s.”\n\n12:45-1:45 » Catered lunch in Center\n\n1:45-2:45 » Academics: Styles of Health Research in the Social Sciences\, Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Windsor\n\nELEANOR MATICKA-TYNDALE\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “Health Research and Community Connections”\n\nSTEPHEN PENDER\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “Friendship\, Counsel and Compassion in Early Modern Medical Thought: Expanding the Notion of Health Networks”\n\nJENNIFER WILLET\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “INCUBATOR: Hybrid Laboratory at the Intersection of Art\, Science and Ecology”\n\n2:45 – 3:30 » Brazilians: FIOCRUZ\n\nNÍSIA LIMA\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “Fiocruz: From National to Global Matrix of Health Research” // Commentary by Diego Armus\, Alexandra Stern\, Steven Palmer\n\n3:30 – 3:45 »	Coffee break\n\n3:45 – 4:45 » Keynote Presentation by MARCOS CUETO\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “Lost in Translation?

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:Exhibit: Hidden Worlds: The Universe of Pollen Revealed in Large-scale Ceramic Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

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:Class / Instruction:Sacred Texts 101
DESCRIPTION:The class will take a brief look at several sacred texts of different religions\, focusing primarily on the sacred texts of Judaism and Christianity. How did these texts come to be and why did they come to be regarded as sacred? How were they understood when they were written and how are they understood today? Why are they important even to those outside the religions that claim them as holy? This course is designed for those who know little about sacred texts\, not for those deeply familiar with them. \n\nKenneth Phifer is a retired Unitarian Universalist minister\, having served the Ann Arbor congregation for 25 years. He is a graduate of Harvard College and the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. \n\nThis class for adults 50+ meets Wednesdays through May 4.\nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/730

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\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: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:Other:Cycloaddition and Cycloreversion Sequences: Synthesis of the [2.2.2]Diazabicyclic Skeleton and 2-Pyridone Alkaloid Core From a Common Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:The [2.2.2]diazabicyclic indole alkaloids (e.g.\, brevianamides\, stephacidins) originate from a biogenic intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition with an azadiene derived from an oxidized 2\,5-diketopiperazine (pyrazinone) core. We have explored the scope of this reaction in a broad context using inter- and intramolecular cycloaddition with diverse dienophiles. The synthesis of (+)-malbrancheamide B and other natural products will be discussed.  [2.2.2]-diazabicyclic structures can also be diverted through a merged cycloreversion process to afford 2-pyridone scaffolds.  Our current understanding of cycloreversion process and applications of the chemistry will be detailed. Jonathan Scheerer\, College of William and Mary\,

DESCRIPTION:We apologize\, but due to unforeseen circumstances\, we have had to cancel this event.\n\nSpeaker: Jung-hwan Cheon\, Associate Professor\, Department of Korean Literature\, Sungkyunkwan University\n\nFrom Korea’s liberation from Japanese rule\, and the renaissance of Hangeul character culture that followed\, until the 2000s we are left to reflect on bygone eras\, the culture we have reclaimed and what they have left behind. The culmination of each subsequent decade in the history of the Korean mentality can be found in the study of magazines and periodicals that survived the ebb and flow of political\, cultural turmoil. They offer us a snapshot to Korean cultural history and the current state of literary studies.\n\nJung-hwan Cheon teaches Korean literature\, novels in particular\, and cultural history at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea as an associate professor. A 2002 Ph.D. from the Korean Literature Department at Seoul National University\, Prof. Cheon has conducted research on the history of cultural politics in Korea and engaged contemporary South Korean popular culture as a culture critic.\n\nHis publications include Reading Books in Modern Times (2003)\, The Revolution and Laughs (2005)\, and The Era of Collective Intelligence (2008). On Suicide: Between Suffering and Knowledge (Chasallon: Kot’ong kwa haesok saieso) (2013). Words of Times\, Writings of Desire: Korean Cultural History through the Inaugural Prefaces of 123 Journals (Sidae ui mal\, yongmang ui munjang: 123 p’yon chapchi ch’anggansa ro ilgun han’guk hyondae munhaksa).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tang Junyi Lecture Series | Overcoming Communicative Discontinuities and the Possibility of Teaching a Skill in the Zhuangzi
DESCRIPTION:Among the pre-Qin Chinese texts\, the Zhuangzi has proved to be one of the hardest to pin down and has lead to a variety of discussions concerning whether the authors of the text are relativists\, or skeptics (and\, if so\, what kind)\, or whether they simply subscribe to a form of intuitionism that does not do away with the possibility of attaining knowledge about the world\, but doubts our ability to communicate it via speech. A common interpretational route is to focus on skill stories and suggest a dichotomy between “the physical world” and “discursive thought\,” which is expected to make skills ineffable and unteachable. This presentation will examine various skill stories\, along with what might be considered alternative teaching scenes in the text. I too will thus examine skill stories in relation to the broader discussions on the issue of the limits of the linguistic sphere in the Zhuangzi\, however following the lead of scholars such as Moeller and Geaney\, among others\, I will resist reading a language/reality or representation/presence dichotomy into the text. I will instead inquire into the possibility that part of the difficulty in teaching a skill to others is the fact that it requires mastery and negotiation of multiple skill sets of which linguistic skills are a part. \n\nSonya Özbey is the Tang Junyi Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan’s Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. Her primary research field is pre-Qin Chinese philosophy. She is also interested in comparative approaches to philosophy that trace a topic across different philosophical streams and inquire into different articulations of it. She is currently revising a book manuscript on the trope of animality and the human/animal distinction in the Zhuangzi and Spinoza.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:(Registration link under \"Web and Social\" at the bottom the page)\n\nGain inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in people. Join us at the Positive Links Speaker Series to learn from leading Positive Organizational scholars. Connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders at our receptions that immediately follow each session.\n\nHOSTED BY: Gretchen Spreitzer\, the Faculty Co-Director at the Center for Positive Organizations\; the Keith E. and Valerie J. Alessi Professor of Business Administration\; and Professor of Management and Organizations at Michigan Ross\n\nSESSION DESCRIPTION: The prevailing wisdom on crisis management is that crises and their aftermaths are best addressed by a small team of people that carefully manages and controls information and that operates with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.  In this session\, Davis-Blake will explore the recovery of the Ross School of Business from a significant crisis that included strategic\, financial\, and academic elements.  By inverting the rules of crisis management (e.g.\, sharing information widely\, including many people\, allowing roles and responsibilities to be emergent)\, the Ross School achieved seemingly impossible results.  Davis-Blake will explore the potential generalizability of the case of the Ross School to other organizations.\n\nALISON DAVIS-BLAKE is the Edward J. Frey Dean of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. She is also the Stephen M. Ross Professor of Business. Davis-Blake is a higher education leader at the forefront of developing\, promoting\, and implementing positive business practices and foreseeing the changing educational and workplace needs of the next generation of business leaders.\n \nUpon becoming dean of Michigan Ross in July 2011\, the first female dean in the school’s history\, Davis-Blake brought a new focus and mission to the school: to develop leaders who make a positive difference in the world. Her belief that business can be economically prosperous and a force for good has resonated with students from around the world who desire to study at Ross\, one of the top business schools in the country\, and to learn how to develop and lead companies that create value for both shareholders and society.\n \nDavis-Blake is building on Ross’ prestige and tradition of excellence to position the school as a leader in lifelong business education through analytic rigor\, a boundaryless approach to learning\, action-oriented lessons inside and outside of the classroom\, and the school’s global leadership position in positive business education.\n \nAs dean at Ross\, Davis-Blake has led academic innovations including reframing undergraduate business education through a new BBA curriculum focused on preparing millennial learners for the jobs of tomorrow\, the creation of a new Master of Management Program\, and expanding the top-ranked Executive MBA Program to Los Angeles.\n \nUnder her leadership\, Ross has experienced global growth\, with expanded activities in India\, China\, Southeast Asia\, and a living business model in Africa. As the dean of a top global business school\, Davis-Blake has increased international learning opportunities for students by 89 percent and formed 17 new partnerships with universities around the world.\n \nHer efforts to expand the breadth of faculty thought leadership have resulted in 25 tenure-track faculty members and 30 lecturers\, constituting 27% of the teaching faculty at the school. During her time as dean\, Ross has been recognized by Bloomberg Businessweek as having the highest proportion of female faculty who are tenured or on the road to tenure of any top 10 business school and the highest percentage of tenured women professors.\n \nDuring Davis-Blake’s deanship\, Ross will raise more than $400 million in private support to advance academics\, scholarship\, and faculty research\; and complete the business campus of the future\, spearheaded by a $100 million gift from Stephen M. Ross in 2013\, one of the largest single donations to a business school in history.\n \nDavis-Blake is a recognized thought leader\, with media outlets throughout the world including the Financial Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Bloomberg Businessweek\, The Guardian\, South China Morning Post\, Crain’s\, and others seeking her perspective on the future of business education\, positive business\, educational trends\, leadership and more.\n \nPrior to joining Ross in 2011\, Davis-Blake was dean of the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota from 2006 to 2011\, where she was also the first female dean. From 1990 to 2006\, Davis-Blake was a member of the faculty and senior associate dean at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas (Austin)\, and prior to that she was a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University’s business school.\n \nDavis-Blake is an expert on strategic human resource management and organizational design. She obtained her PhD in organizational behavior from Stanford University and her undergraduate and master's degrees from Brigham Young University. Davis-Blake is married and has two sons. She is a native of St. Paul\, Minn.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public. Most sessions are live-streamed via a link from our Events page. For more information\, visit poslinksseries.com.\n\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks Diane and Paul Jones (Ross School of Business MBA 1975) for their generous gift in support of the 2015-2016 Positive Links Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What Happens
DESCRIPTION:Author Sara Kosiba\, Troy University in Alabama\, reads from and discusses the book What Happens\, a Library of Michigan 2016 Notable Book that she recently edited.\n\nWhat Happens was originally published in France in 1926 by John Herrmann\, who was a Lansing\, Michigan native. It was seized by U.S. Customs for violating the 1922 Tariff Act\, which banned the importing of obscene materials from foreign countries\; the novel has never been published in the United States\, until now. Hermann attended U-M from 1920-22\, and the university is referenced throughout the coming-of-age novel. As part of the expatriate literary circle in Paris in the '20s\, he became friends with Ernest Hemingway and other prominent writers.

SUMMARY:Performance:Johnny Clegg Band
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Johnny Clegg was born in England but grew up in South Africa\, learning Zulu music (and the Zulu language) from a guitarist who played on a street near his home. Despite constant harassment from police enforcing South Africa's apartheid laws\, Johnny joined with black South African musicians to form the bands Juluka and Savuka\, hugely influential ensembles that laid crucial groundwork for the spread of South African music around the world. In Europe crowds of tens of thousands turn out to see him when they have the chance\, but his North American appearances are once-or-twice-a-decade affairs. Dancer\, anthrologist\, singer\, songwriter\, activist\, French knight—all of these tags fit Johnny Clegg\, but none fully describes the energetic\, passionate human being who has become one of South Africa's greatest exports.

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.

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:Conference / Symposium:International Colloquium on Knowledge Networks and Health Innovation in the (North and South) Americas
DESCRIPTION:This two-day colloquium assembles leading health researchers from Canada\, the United States\, Cuba\, Costa Rica\, Brazil\, and Portugal to look at patterns of collaboration driving innovations in medical and public health research\, practice\, and policy in the Americas from the late 19th century to the present. Participants will present new research on alternative players within traditional groups of health practitioners (communist public health specialists and veterinarians\, for example)\; and on actors outside the formal health sector such as feminist organizations\, artists and architects\, public policy managers\, and patient activists. The colloquium will lay out an agenda for the next stage in thinking about the “Americas dynamic” in the interplay of global and local in health innovation.\n\nSchedule of Events:\n\nDay 1 – Ann Arbor Conference Room\, U-M Detroit Conference Center\n\n9:00 – 9:15 » Opening Remarks by STEVEN PALMER\, University of Windsor\, Canada\; and ALEXANDRA MINNA STERN\, University of Michigan\, USA\n\n9:15 –10:30 » Specialist Practitioners: Inter-American and Anti-American Networks\n\nGILBERTO HOCHMAN\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “The Red Network: Doctors\, Internationalists\, and Public Health in Cold War Brazil”\n\nJOEL HOWELL\, University of Michigan\, USA\; SIMONE KROPF\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: \"Medicine\, Technology and Politics: Interamericanism and US-Brazil Exchanges in Cardiology in the 1940s\"\n\n10:30 – 10:45 » Coffee break\n\n10:45 – 12:45 » Feminists: Eugenics\, Biotypology\, Reproductive Rights\n\nCAROL VIMIEIRO\, Universidade Federal Minas Gerais\, Brazil: “Average\, Normal and Beautiful: Bodily Representations in Brazilian Biotypology\, 1930-1940”\n\nALEXANDRA STERN\, University of Michigan\, USA: “Genetics and Genomics in Latin America: From Eugenics to Social Justice Uses of Genetics”\n\nMARÍA CARRANZA\, Inciensa\, Costa Rica: “The Awakening of the Women’s Movement to Therapeutic Sterilization and Abortion in Costa Rica: Tracing the Propagation of an Interest.”\n\nANNIKA HARTMANN\, Justus-Liebig University\, Germany: “Discussing the Beginning of Human Life – Medical Knowledge\, Transnational Population Politics and the Abortion Debate in Guatemala in the 1970s.”\n\n12:45-1:45 » Catered lunch in Center\n\n1:45-2:45 » Academics: Styles of Health Research in the Social Sciences\, Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Windsor\n\nELEANOR MATICKA-TYNDALE\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “Health Research and Community Connections”\n\nSTEPHEN PENDER\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “Friendship\, Counsel and Compassion in Early Modern Medical Thought: Expanding the Notion of Health Networks”\n\nJENNIFER WILLET\, University of Windsor\, Canada: “INCUBATOR: Hybrid Laboratory at the Intersection of Art\, Science and Ecology”\n\n2:45 – 3:30 » Brazilians: FIOCRUZ\n\nNÍSIA LIMA\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “Fiocruz: From National to Global Matrix of Health Research” // Commentary by Diego Armus\, Alexandra Stern\, Steven Palmer\n\n3:30 – 3:45 »	Coffee break\n\n3:45 – 4:45 » Keynote Presentation by MARCOS CUETO\, FIOCRUZ\, Brazil: “Lost in Translation?

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:“DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING\, STAND THERE”:  ON TEACHING STUDENTS HOW TO BE HUMAN AND DIVINE
DESCRIPTION:The current narrative on American secondary education would seem to tell the story of an unrelenting spiral into doom and gloom. The tale begins with our handwringing at the annual drop of U.S. students in international rankings on math and science scores. The arc of the story then climaxes when we realize\, tragically\, that our well-intended efforts to prepare students for success might also lead to the heartbreak of depression and anxiety. This talk will invite audience members to consider how the narrative of secondary education might be rewritten with a better ending. The key is to arm our students with the power of stories and conversations\, analysis and problem solving\, creativity and improvisation\, and most significantly\, wisdom\, faith and love – all of which reside in the demesne of the humanities.   \n\nDr. Mark Randolph has taught English at Greenhills School for 19 years. He previously taught at UM\, Eastern Michigan University\, and Washtenaw Community College.  In 1990 he was selected to be UM’s Exchange Lecturer to the Phillips Universität\, 
Marburg. He received his A.B. from Occidental College and his M.A. and Ph.D. in 
English Literature from UM.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Power of the Liberal Arts. The next lecture will be April 21\, entitled TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LIBERAL ARTS – AT UM AND ELSEWHERE

DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

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:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Girls Are Not Bound By Thermodynamics: Anime Ecology
DESCRIPTION:World crisis is a common theme in recent anime\, and often a gendered one.  Gaia theory postulates a self-regulating Earth figured as feminine and maternal\, but the notion of mother nature as a force of equilibrium looks naive in the context of the Anthropocene.  Is it possible to see in magical girls an anime ecofeminism that complicates the idealism of a maternal Nature?  This talk explores how the magical girl may bridge the media ecology of anime and \"dark ecology\,\" or ecological thought without Nature.\n\nRyan Cook is an Assistant Professor in Film and Media Studies at Emory University.

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:Lecture / Discussion:34th Hayward Keniston Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Mayra Santos-Febres\, University of Puerto Rico\n\nIn this engaging autobiographical presentation\, Mayra Santos-Febres discusses gender\, religion\, and science as spaces of contestation to patriarchy in Latin America and the Caribbean. She frames her life story as an Afro-Puerto Rican writer\, educator\, and mother in relation to Afro-diasporic religion and to Puerto Rican modernity\, particularly focusing on the feminist legacy of Novohispana writer Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz\, questioning Western philosophical traditions that marginalize women and people of color and disregard critical thinking by minoritarian subjects.\n\nMayra Santos-Febres is Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Puerto Rico\, Río Piedras\, and an acclaimed novelist\, poet\, essayist\, and cultural activist who has published over 13 books. She received her PhD in Spanish from Cornell University in 1991. Santos-Febres is the founder of the Salón Literario Libroamérica and of the Festival de la Palabra\, an international writers festival held annually in Puerto Rico since 2010. Her works have been translated into numerous languages. Some of her best known novels include Sirena Selena (2000)\, Our Lady of the Night (2009)\, and the recently released La amante de Gardel (2015). Her talk will be in English.\n\nReception to follow lecture in Palmer Commons\, Great Lakes Room

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We use structural estimates of time preferences to customize incentives for a sample of polio vaccinators during a series of door-to-door immunization drives in Pakistan. Our investigation proceeds in three stages. First\, we measure time preferences using intertemporal allocations of vaccinations. Second\, we derive the mapping between these structural estimates and individually optimal incentives given a specific policy objective.  Third\, we experimentally evaluate the effect of matching contract terms to individual discounting patterns in a subsequent experiment with the same vaccinators. This exercise provides a test of the specific point predictions given by structural estimates of time preference. We document present bias among vaccinators and find that tailored contracts achieve the intended policy objective of smoothing intertemporal allocations of effort. The benefits of customized incentives\, in terms of achieving the policy objective\, are largest for vaccinators allocating when present bias is relevant to the decision.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar with Dr. David Pfennig\, UNC
DESCRIPTION:One of biology’s most significant unresolved problems is to understand how novel\, complex traits originate and subsequently diversify. A growing number of biologists have begun to ask whether environmentally initiated phenotypic change – developmental plasticity – precedes\, and even facilitates\, evolutionary innovation and diversification. However\, this “plasticity first” hypothesis remains controversial\, primarily because comprehensive tests from natural populations are generally lacking. In my talk\, I’ll briefly describe the plasticity-first hypothesis\, present much-needed key criteria to allow tests in diverse natural systems\, and discuss tests of these criteria using natural populations of spadefoot toads. Generally\, developmental plasticity might play an underappreciated role in adaptive evolution.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/caZ_Z36-GbA

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Statistics Seminar: Identifiability and Estimation of Restricted Latent Class Models with Binary Responses
DESCRIPTION:Statistical latent class models are widely used in social and psychological researches\, yet it is often difficult to establish the identifiability of the model parameters. This talk will focus on a class of restricted latent class models with binary responses. This class of models have recently gained great interests in psychological and educational measurement\, psychiatry and many other research areas\, where a classification-based decision needs to be made about an individual’s latent traits\, based on his or her observed responses. The model parameters are usually restricted via a pre-specified latent structure matrix to reflect the diagnostic assumptions on the latent traits. In this talk\, I will first give an introduction to such restricted latent class models\, followed by discussions on key issues and challenges. I will then present some fundamental identifiability results and specify which types of the structure matrices would ensure the estimability of the model parameters. These identifiability conditions not only lead to the consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimators\, but also provide a guideline for the related experimental design\, whereas in the current applications the design is usually experience based and identifiability may not be guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Historicizing Anna Karenina: Divorce\, High Society\, and Imperial Politics
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the evolution of Anna Karenina’s plotlines\, this talk seeks to identify a number of turning points in the four-year course of the novel’s writing. It revisits the historical reality of that time to uncover the origins of Tolstoy’s anxiety about the 1876 outburst of Pan-Slavism in Russia. The theme of high society and the motif of divorce serve as a guide to understanding Tolstoy’s interest – still keen even on the eve of his larger existential quest – in capturing the zesty minutiae of\ncontemporaneous political and cultural life. Thus\, the question of why Anna and Vronsky are exposed to such severe public opprobrium\, when similar unmarried couples in real life might well have been treated more leniently\, can be approached from the perspective of the imperial court’s politics.\n\nMikhail Dolbilov is an associate professor of history at the University of Maryland\, College Park.

SUMMARY:Other:German Department: 4th Annual Open-Book Translation Contest
DESCRIPTION:Description: Students are invited to put their translating prowess to the test by participating in the Fourth Annual University of Michigan German Department Open-Book Translation Contest! This contest will be judged by a panel of three faculty members. The entries will be identified only by the student’s university ID number\, making the judging anonymous. There will be monetary prizes of $115 for first place\, $75 for second place\, and $50 for third place.\n\nParticipants: All undergraduate UM students currently enrolled in a German course or who are registered as a German major or minor are welcome to participate.\n\nRegistration: All contest participants are required to register for the contest by 5 p.m. on Monday\, April 11\, at the latest! Please register by contacting Andrew Mills via email:  (ajmills@umich.edu).\n\nAlternative times: If students can demonstrate that they cannot make the contest time due to their class schedule or work schedule constraints\, an alternative time and location can be arranged with Andrew. This alternative time must be arranged and confirmed before 5 p.m. on Monday\, April 11\, and must take place at some point during the day of Thursday\, April 14.\n\nContest Rules: The contest will be held under the same conditions used by the American Translators Association (ATA) for its certification exam. Students will have approximately 90 minutes to translate a text by hand that will be provided for them. The translation will be from German to English. The contest will be held in “open book” format. Students will not have access to the internet\, but may bring and use as many hardback or paperback dictionaries as they wish. All students receive the same text\, which will be approximately 225-275 words in length. The contest must be written in (dark) pencil capable of being photo-copied for the judges. Students must bring their own pencils. Paper will be provided.\n\nThe text to be translated will be “general” in nature. This text expresses a view\, sets forth an argument\, or presents an idea or situation. Examples include: a newspaper editorial or clip\, an essay\, or a passage from a non-fiction book. The contest passage is chosen in such a way as to avoid highly specialized terminology requiring research. There are indeed terminology challenges in the text\, but they may be met with a good general dictionary\, as well as cultural and historical knowledge of Germany.\n\nAccommodations may be made for participants who demonstrate that they cannot write the text by hand. Please contact Andrew Mills at ajmills@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kris Allen
DESCRIPTION:On his third full-length album\, \"Horizons\,\" singer/songwriter and American Idol winner Kris Allen sharpens his songcraft and brings a more boldly open-hearted spirit to his soulful brand of pop- ock than ever before. With his past work including a 2009 self-titled debut featuring the platinum-selling single “Live Like We’re Dying\,” Allen’s first independently released album finds him reaching a new level of sophistication in his melody-minded songwriting while fully tapping into his natural grace as a singer and guitarist. After writing much of the material for \"Horizons\" at home on his front porch in Arkansas\, Allen headed to Nashville to team up with Charlie Peacock (the Grammy Award-nominated musician/songwriter/producer who’s previously worked with artists like Switchfoot\, The Civil Wars\, and Brett Dennen). The result weaves graceful R&B grooves\, rootsy country/folk-rock riffs\, and sublimely catchy pop hooks. “We did most of the songs in just a few takes instead of going through and making sure every single thing was completely perfect\, which I think gives the album a different kind of energy than the records I’ve done in the past\,” says Allen. That spontaneity comes through in Kris's stage performances\, which combine charisma and a kind of direct communication with audiences that's all too rare today.

DESCRIPTION:German-born novelist Bemadette Kahn lost the love of her life during World War II when he fled Nazi Germany on the S.S. St. Louis\, a ship carrying 937 Jewish refugees seeking haven in North America. Both Cuba and the U.S. turned the ship away\, leaving many of the passengers to return to Europe and perish in Nazi Concentration Camps. Bemadette’s past resurfaces when a young Jewish-Cuban writer contacts her to research the ship’s tragic voyage\, which also claimed the life of his great aunt. As their relationship deepens\, they are enveloped by a transcendent romance based on her memories of her great lost love.\n\nSponsored by: Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Department of Theatre and Drama\, Latino/a Studies\, and Arts at Michigan

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.

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:Conference / Symposium:Near Eastern Studies Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Near Eastern Studies is proud to present: \"Interdisciplinary Approaches to Cuneiform Studies and Ancient Societies:  The Impact of the Work of Piotr Michalowski\,\" a symposium honoring the career of NES Professor Piotr Michalowski\, George G. Cameron Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. \n\nThis event is a celebration of our colleague Piotr Michalowski and his contributions to Near Eastern studies. In the field of Assyriology\, with its increasing specialization and proliferation of subfields\, Michalowski’s past\, current\, and future work has spanned an impressive range of topics and methodologies. The sum of this work has prompted an occasion to examine the connections between cuneiform studies and neighboring disciplines and to put several different subfields within Assyriology itself into dialogue. Topics of the papers range from music\, to language\, to cultural memory – all dimensions of Michalowski's contributions. \n\n9:00 Breakfast\n\n9:30 Keynote Address\nGary Beckman\, University of Michigan\nForward into the Past: Mesopotamian Studies Since 1970\n \n10-12 Sumerian Language and Literature\nChair: Chris Woods\, University of Chicago\n \nPiotr Steinkeller\, Harvard University\nSumerian City Laments: Historical or Not Historical?\n \nSteven Garfinkle\, Western Washington University\nmu Pi-ut-ur lugal An-ar-burki ma-da mar-tu mu-hul “The year Piotr\, king of Ann Arbor\, defeated the land of the Amorites.” Frontier strategy in the Ur III period: a view from the inside\n \nPaul Delnero\, The Johns Hopkins University  \nWhat is a Sumerian Literary Text?\, Or Why a History of Mesopotamian Religion should be written (and a History of Sumerian Literature should not)\n \nGonzalo Rubio\, Penn State University\nOn the Many Lives of Sumerian\n \nJay Crisostomo\, University of Michigan\nSumerian – Not the Language your Diviner is Looking for\n \nRespondent: Steve Tinney\, University of Pennsylvania\n\n--Break--\n\n1-3 Assyriology: Language and History\nChair: Matt Stolper\, University of Chicago\n \nNiek Veldhuis\, UC Berkeley\nMining the Cuneiform Corpus\n \nPeter Machinist\, Harvard University  \nAkkadian in the First Millennium BC: The View from Israel and Other Western Outposts\n \nGina Konstantopoulos\, NYU-ISAW\nDisgraced Pipers and Animal Orchestras in Mesopotamia\n \nJerrold Cooper\, The Johns Hopkins University / UC Berkeley\nFemale Troubles: Masculinity at the Creation\n \nRespondent: Martha Roth\, University of Chicago\n\n--Coffee Break--\n\n3:30-5:30 The Broader Ancient World\nChair: David Owen\, Cornell University\n \nTom Trautmann\, University of Michigan\nPiotr and the Elephants\n \nJennifer Finn\, Marquette University\nSome Unanswered Letters from the Ancient World\n \nGeoff Emberling\, University of Michigan\nCollective Memory or Public Acquiescence?

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:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: Muslim Memories of Buddhist Pasts
DESCRIPTION:Everyone in West Sumatra knows the story of the name “Minangkabau\,” the dominant provincial ethnic group. Before the coming of Islam a Javanese army arrived in the highlands seeking to make itself suzerain over the indigenous polities. They were thwarted by shrewd local leaders who challenged the foreigners to a buffalo fight. The Javanese brought out a giant bull and the locals a starving calf with sharpened horns. The calf tried to nurse\, eviscerated the bull\, the invaders retreated and named the locals the people of the Victorious (Menang) Buffalo (Kerbau). However this story only emerges in local Malay and Minangkabau-language sources at the turn of the 20th century. And it appears alongside the name Adityawarman—who is described as either a local Buddhist king or the leader of the invading army.\n\nThis presentation is an analysis of these two cultural feedback loops\, both involving Indonesian interactions with Dutch colonial scholarship\, that transformed ideas of tradition in West Sumatra in the early twentieth century. By tracing the call and response between European colonial scholarship and local mythology we can examine how the classical Buddhist period is represented in late colonial historical fiction\, how the figure of Adityawarman is rehabilitated in 20th century folklore\, and why today pre-Islamic menhirs are not demolished by provincially-dominant sharia-enforcing political parties but incorporated into contemporary public spaces.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi / PhonDi
DESCRIPTION:A joint discussion with SoConDi and PhonDi with Jiseung Kim on \"Prosodic Accommodation in Seoul Korean Accentual Phrase.\"\n\nAbstract\nThe goal of this study is to examine prosodic accommodation\, specifically testing accommodation at prosodic boundaries for speakers of Seoul Korean. Sixteen native speakers of Seoul Korean participated in a sentence completion task where they were asked to complete a target sentence after reading (in the baseline condition) or listening to (in the test condition) a context sentence. In both cases\, participants completed the sentence by speaking. The auditory context sentences had artificially manipulated prosody. The manipulation lowered the f0 of the phrase-final syllables that were associated with the Accentual Phrase-final rise\, which is a characteristic intonational property of Seoul Korean. The f0 values – f0 maximum\, minimum\, mean\, and range – were extracted from the AP-final syllables of the participants’ responses\, and were compared between the baseline and test conditions. The results of the linear mixed-effects model analysis on 14 speakers showed evidence of convergence. The results suggest that effects of accommodation may be manifested in the pitch levels associated with a prosodic boundary. Further analysis is needed to separate the accommodation effects from the effect of pitch declination over the course of the experiment.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: \"Electron Microsocpy Approaches to Studying Lipid-Protein Interactions\"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nMembrane proteins play crucial roles in many cellular processes such as signaling\, nutrient uptake and cell adhesion.  Although the lipid bilayer influences many aspects of membrane protein function\, our understanding of lipid–protein interactions is limited.  In the first part of my seminar\, I will describe how electron crystallography of the water channel aquaporin-0 reconstituted with lipids into two-dimensional crystals can be used to address very basic questions in membrane biology\, such as the driving forces that define lipid–protein interactions and the effects of hydrophobic mismatch.  In the second part\, I will discuss how we plan to use membrane proteins reconstituted into nanodiscs to make it possible to study lipid–protein interactions by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics Graduate Students Hayley Heaton and Mike Opper will each be giving a talk.\n\nHayley Heaton will speak on\, \"Representing American Southern Prosody in the Media.\"\n\nAbstract:\nA case study of two fictional characters in two television series investigates American Southern prosody and introduces prosodic analysis into studies of language and media. Using media to investigate prosody is new to both the fields of prosody and media studies. Media representations are built off of assumed shared knowledge between the producer and the viewer (Bubel & Spitz 2006). Thus\, the question becomes what linguistic features are indexical enough to be used to that end. Are prosodic features used by individuals to mark regional identity? If they do use prosody to index region\, what features are used? To investigate these questions\, this study examines style-shifting in pitch accent and boundary tone type and frequency as well as pitch accent and boundary tone per word measures. The characters both show evidence of prosodic style-shifting\, indicating that prosody is playing into their characterizations rather than remaining static throughout the performance. The characters vary their prosody in different ways\, one with an emphasis on pitch accents and the other on boundary tones\, indicating speaker specific prosodic strategies. Results indicate that Southern prosodic features may be utilized in media representations of dialect.\n\nMike Opper will speak on \"Understanding Phonological Contrast in Bai.\"\n\nAbstract:\nI present the context and a summary my ongoing dissertation research in this talk. My dissertation covers three topics in Bai phonology which are loosely related: the sub-syllabic affiliation of pre-nuclear glides in Bai\, ongoing vowel shifts in the southern variety\, and ongoing tone mergers in the southern variety. This talk focuses on the first topic\, addresses the second topic\, and will briefly introduce the third topic if there is time.\nThe context of previous research on Bai can be summarized as follows. Although the Bai are an ethnic minority in China and their language lacks a well established written tradition\, phonological inventories and lexical items for these varieties are fairly well documented. This is perhaps because of the unclear affiliation of Bai within the Sino-Tibetan language family. However\, despite the large body of descriptive work on these linguistic varieties\, no prior research has presented adequate phonemic analysis.\nThe fundamental difference between my analysis and prior work is simple. Pre-nuclear glides [j\, w\, ɥ] in Bai do not form sub-syllabic constituents with nuclear vowels. I show that this approach is particularly appealing due to economy in phonemic analysis\, explanatory power for predicting reduplicative and rhyming patterns\, and accountability of attested and unattested syllables. Furthermore\, discrepancies in the inventories of nuclear vowels across dialect descriptions can be understood as ongoing vowel shifts through my proposal.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Keynote Speech: Wendy Chun \"Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media\"
DESCRIPTION:Theorist Wendy Chun\, whose work melds systems design engineering and English literature\, will discuss her forthcoming book Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media (MIT Press). Chun argues that our technologies matter most not when they are new but when they have become obsolete—when they have moved from the bleeding edge to the realm of the everyday\, when our use of them has become habitual. Habits are automatic—they “remain by disappearing from consciousness”—but also voluntary and even creative: we are constantly encouraged to seek better habits\, better patterns. Habits make us like our peers\, demarcating social class\; they are also deeply personal. Chun explores how the slow\, “creepy” accretion of habits—both conscious and unconscious—relate to distinctions between public and private\, memory and storage\, individual actions and social systems. \n\nWendy Hui Kyong Chun is Professor and Chair of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:William R. Farrand Memorial Lecture: The Timeline of the Universe: From the Big Bang to the Far Future
DESCRIPTION:This talk outlines the entire history of the cosmos. After reviewing the history of the universe to the present epoch\, we consider the evolution of planets\, stars\, galaxies\, and the universe itself over time scales that greatly exceed the current cosmic age. The discussion follows stellar evolution and the transformation of stars into degenerate stellar remnants. After the demise of the galaxy and the evaporation of expelled degenerate stars and the largest black holes\, the universe slowly slides into darkness.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lighting up Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:One crucial component of our current understanding of galaxies and cosmology is that most of the matter in the Universe is in the form of dark matter--an as-yet-unidentified form of matter that appears to neither give off nor interact with light. In this talk\, Professor Bell will describe what we have learned about the distribution of dark matter around galaxies by studying stars in the sparsely-populated distant outskirts of galaxies\, well outside where one would expect to find stars.\nThis event is presented by the University Lowbrow Astronomers and is an official event of the MSU Science Festival's Statewide Astronomy Night.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tim O'Brien
DESCRIPTION:Singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien has become one of the most respected and beloved figures in American music over the last 30 years. As a member of the bluegrass band Hot Rize and its comic offshoot Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers\, he set a new standard for contemporary bluegrass that maintained respect for the tradition. His songs\, in the hands of superstars like the Dixie Chicks\, Garth Brooks\, and Kathy Mattea\, have roosted atop the country charts for months. He's delved into Celtic music\, old-time music\, and more\, and he's put a deeply personal stamp on everything he's done. Tim O'Brien is not only one of the most talented roots musicians working today\, he's also one of the most visionary.  Tim comes to Michigan with his first new solo album in four years. Says Tim: \"It’s called 'Pompadour' and features six new originals\, covers of songs by Woody Guthrie\, James Brown\, Michael Hurley\, and Dan Reeder\, plus a traditional fiddle tune. 'Pompadour' includes banjo and electric guitar sounds\, funk and swing grooves\, and even a couple of love songs.\"

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: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:Exhibit: Hidden Worlds: The Universe of Pollen Revealed in Large-scale Ceramic Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014.

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:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\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:Performance:Robert Jones & Matt Watroba
DESCRIPTION:Ever since their first meeting\, over twenty years ago\, Robert Jones and Matt Watroba have been musical partners. Their relationship started when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM\, Detroit. Later on they started performing together and in doing so discovered a friendship based on mutual respect and a love for traditional American music. Now Matt and Robert literally travel the nation extolling the virtues of “Music That Matters.\" Robert & Matt have performed this powerful program at hundreds of schools\, festivals\, coffeehouses\, and conferences\, to resounding acclaim. Says Jennifer Tobin of the Village Theater of Canton: \"This show delivers a wonderful and powerful message of love\, friendship\, tolerance: where we have been\, where we are\, and hopefully where we can go. It is a walk through the roots and history of American music that not only educates\, but entertains. Robert and Matt are consummate professionals\, and always a joy to work with. Children and teachers love this interactive show\, and the evaluations I get are enthusiastic endorsements and requests to present it again.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Generation Asian Pacific American
DESCRIPTION:Generation APA has been a proud tradition on the University of Michigan campus since 1995. As one of the largest and best student-run pan-Asian cultural programs in the nation\, Generation APA consistently attracts nearly 500 participants along with a culturally diverse audience. It showcases the unity and strength of the APA community by alluding to the past while collectively moving the whole community into the future. Promoting cultural diversity through tradition and history remains intrinsic to the core values of Generation APA. Each year it strives to improve its program while preserving the cultural foundation upon which it was built.\n \n\nThe theme this year is heroes. Stemming from the #NotYourAsianSidekick movement on Twitter\, we hope to promote that our community has the potential to be more than accessories. Asian Americans are usually seen as quiet\, fade-into-the-background individuals that don't have much to say. Traditionally in media\, Asian Americans are cast in supporting\, or otherwise minor roles. We want to show that we have stories to tell and that we can be heroes too.

SUMMARY:Performance:Leo Kottke
DESCRIPTION:The Los Angeles Times calls Leo Kottke \"an American legend in the guitar world\, and a king of his own private musical world.\" If you haven't heard Leo Kottke for a while\, though\, you may have missed how one of the fastest 6- and 12-string guitar players around has also become one of the most innovative and least musically classifiable. His music encompasses influences from all over the world\, and players from outside the folk world closely follow what he does. Leo Kottke is a legend of the guitar who's still full of surprises after all these years. His shows are displays of captivating mastery of a sort that's rare in any genre of music. Don't miss him\, and get tickets early for this one—Leo's Ark shows have been consistent sellouts.

SUMMARY:Performance:Play: Sotto Voce
DESCRIPTION:German-born novelist Bemadette Kahn lost the love of her life during World War II when he fled Nazi Germany on the S.S. St. Louis\, a ship carrying 937 Jewish refugees seeking haven in North America. Both Cuba and the U.S. turned the ship away\, leaving many of the passengers to return to Europe and perish in Nazi Concentration Camps. Bemadette’s past resurfaces when a young Jewish-Cuban writer contacts her to research the ship’s tragic voyage\, which also claimed the life of his great aunt. As their relationship deepens\, they are enveloped by a transcendent romance based on her memories of her great lost love.\n\nSponsored by: Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Department of Theatre and Drama\, Latino/a Studies\, and Arts at Michigan

SUMMARY:Performance:RC Deutsches Theater presents \"Unschuld\" (Innocence)
DESCRIPTION:Unschuld (Innocence) is a play that blurs the lines between reality\, memory\, and dreams of the future. The play weaves together several short stories about longing and guilt that bring together a group of unlikely characters. Elisio and Fadoul are two immigrants living illegally in Europe. After witnessing a woman drowning\, Elisio can’t sleep. His friend\, Fadoul\, discovers a bag full of money that could change their life. Enter Absolut\, a blind exotic dancer\, who takes a liking to Fadoul. Crazy (or is she?) Frau Habersatt\, a former librarian living on the edge\, begs forgiveness for acts she never committed. Franz has finally found employment and meaning in life\, caring for the dead.  His wife\, Rosa\, would like to have a child but Franz’ tendency to bring his work home with him and the fact that Rosa’s mother\, Frau Zucker\, a feisty communist with a colorful past\, has moved into their tiny apartment makes intimacy impossible.  Ella\, an aging philosopher\, has burned all of her publications with the exception of one:  The Unreliability of the World.  The President is ever-present in every household\, giving speeches that have nothing and everything to do with these characters’ lives.  This play is humorous\, touching\, sad\, poignant\, and absurd at the same time and it is a great introduction to one of Germany’s best playwrights writing today.
