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.

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.

What about things that happen in femtoseconds or eons? Time in the natural world is so extreme\, you can’t even perceive most of its scale unaided.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120414@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160426T135057 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160429T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160429T140000 SUMMARY:Presentation:PitE Honors Symposium DESCRIPTION:PitE Honors students present their research during this symposium.

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 UID:29503-3129498@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160429T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160429T170000 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.

Wallenberg is credited with single-handedly rescuing over 100\,000 Jews from Nazi persecution in Budapest\, Hungary\, during World War II. The traveling scholarship\, established by the Bernard L. Maas Foundation in 1986\, acts as a reminder of Wallenberg's courage and humanitarianism and is aimed at reflecting his ideals. The award gives undergraduate students the opportunity to broaden their study of architecture to include work in distant locations.\n\nPublic presentation of awards will be held in the A+A Auditorium from 3-4 pm followed by time to visit exhibit work and public reception from 4-5 pm in CMYK Galleries.\n\nAbout the Wallenberg Studios:\nRaoul Wallenberg\, a 1935 architecture graduate of the University of Michigan\, has been called one of the 20th century’s most outstanding humanitarian heroes for his work in saving over 100\,000 Jews from death during the last days of the Holocaust. A citizen of Sweden\, as a young man he traveled to and around the United States to obtain his formal college education and to experience a culture that\, as his grandfather Gustaf Wallenberg saw it\, would allow him to become “a citizen of the world.” He continued his informal studies after graduation working in Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East.\n\nThe Wallenberg Studio honors the legacy of one of our College’s most important alumni through an overall studio theme focused on a broad humanitarian concern\, explored through propositions put forward by studio section faculty. Each year we ask: what is architecture’s relationship to the humanitarian\; how does architecture take up a position in the world? In 2015 — through the framework of “Participation”— we explore how architectural interventions may participate in larger projects of social change\, political activism\, or cultural reform and how these propositions of the early twenty-first century might participate in the history of architecture’s disciplinary projects. Through architecture we are able to ask questions of the immediate physical present and the long history that created it.\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.

Heywood Banks has appeared on A&E's \"Evening at the Improv\,\" MTV's \"1/2 Hour Comedy Hour\,\" and \"Entertainment Tonight\,\" and he was the MC for both nights of the 2012 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

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.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120415@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160430T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160430T170000 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 UID:29503-3129499@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160430T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160430T170000 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.

When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he’s writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band brings originality and musicianship to a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. What Ben inherited from his father is\, perhaps\, a feeling for what it takes to live life as an artist\, to reach out and create not just songs but anthems with arrangements that pull people in. With six CDs under their belts—\"Coming From The C\,\" \"Checkin’ In To The Michigan Inn\,\" \"Can’t You See\,\" \"The Mountain Home\" EP\, the dual album and movie release \"Old Gold\,\" and their most recent release\, \"Roll\"—The Ben Daniels Band has grown to be a formidable group that sounds pleasantly familiar\, yet unforgettably unique.

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 UID:29456-3120416@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160501T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160501T170000 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 UID:29503-3129500@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160512T143154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160501T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160501T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Extreme Time DESCRIPTION:Think you know all about time?

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.

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 UID:29456-3120417@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160502T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160502T170000 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 UID:29503-3129501@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160122T141353 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160502T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160502T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Navigating Department Politics DESCRIPTION:This session is a richly layered sketch that can be productively used to focus on two issues important to any university: faculty hiring and departmental climate.

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 UID:29456-3120418@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160503T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160503T170000 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 UID:29503-3129502@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160503T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160503T170000 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.

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 UID:29456-3120419@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160504T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160504T170000 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 UID:29503-3129503@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160504T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160504T170000 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.

He was around at the dawn of American punk rock in his band the Nuns\, which opened the last Sex Pistols show. His next band\, Rank and File\, marked a key stage in the early evolution of what became known as alternative country. Since then he's been a solo songwriter full of amazing stories\, a full-blast rocker\, and a survivor back from the brink of death. A superb electric guitarist\, Alejandro has forged a new and distinctive instrumental collaboration with a member of his band each time he's come to The Ark over the last several years\, and his Ark shows are not to be missed! Alejandro's latest album\, \"Big Station\,\" shows the influence of Bruce Springsteen. Tonight's special guest is Lucette\, a fast-rising songwriter whose voice is gentle yet chilling.

Our education system\, even at the university level\, often inadvertently squashes that beautiful\, wild desire.

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 UID:29456-3120420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160520T063005 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160505T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160505T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Career Center Overview DESCRIPTION:Open to only SM 217 Business Communications Student- Kelli Donahue Class UID:30657-3640004@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Anderson Room Michigan Union 530 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160505T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160505T170000 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 UID:29503-3129504@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160505T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160505T170000 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.

Thurnau Professor\nAssociate Professor\, Women's Studies and Political Science (by courtesy)\nAssociate Director\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender \nUndergraduate Director\, Science\, Technology and Society Program\n\n\nAbstract: In our no-fault vaccine injury compensation court\, lawyers\, activists\, judges\, doctors\, and scientists come together\, sometimes arguing bitterly\, trying to figure out whether a vaccine really caused a person’s medical problem. Despite all the controversy swirling around vaccines\, this special court provides a place for reasoned argument and consideration of a range of evidence and perspectives that ultimately supports the crucial role vaccines play in our society while also doing justice to people who have been harmed.

The research starts with materials synthesis\, chemical/structural characterization\, and performance assessments. This talk will consist of two topics: noble metal nanostructures for (electro)catalysis and electrode materials for advanced rechargeable batteries. \n\nHighly dispersed noble metal nanostructures (such as Pd and Au)\, a group of important catalysts for many applications\, are typically synthesized via top-down or bottom-up methods. Not many syntheses integrate the advantages of both strategies. Recently\, we have developed such an unconventional method\,2\,3 which is entitled “alternating voltage induced electrochemical synthesis (AVIES)”. This method enables a simultaneous synthesis of both colloidal nanoparticles and nanostructured electrodes.4 I will discuss the synthesis\, characterization\, formation mechanism\, and (electro)catalytitic performance of a few noble metals. \n\nLithium ion batteries (LIBs)\, the most advanced rechargeable batteries\, are currently ubiquitous in portable devices and will be popular in large-scale applications (such as electric vehicles) in the future.5 We are interested in both anode and cathode materials made of earth-abundant elements. This presentation will focus on alkali sulfide (M2S\, M = Li and Na) cathodes.6\,7 M2S cathodes are attractive for developing M-S batteries\, because they can circumvent many issues associated with the direct use of metal anodes and sulfur cathodes.8 However\, one big challenge towards realizing practical M2S cathodes\, which require both high specific capacity and capacity density\, is the lack of an efficient method to produce M2S secondary clusters – the entities of assembled M2S nanoparticles.6 In this talk\, I will demonstrate our progress towards this ultimate goal.\n \nReferences:\n (1) Whittingham\, M.

She toured North America’s colleges\, reservations\, and concert halls\, meeting both huge acclaim and huge misperception from audiences and record companies who expected Pocahontas in fringes\, and instead were both entertained and educated with their initial dose of Native American reality in the first person. Her song \"Until It’s Time for You to Go\" was recorded by Elvis and Barbra and Cher\, and her \"Universal Soldier\" became an anthem of the peace movement. For five years she was a member of the cast of \"Sesame Street.\" With her \"I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again\" album (1967)\, containing the classics \"Soulful Shade of Blue\" and \"Sometimes When I Get to Thinkin'\" she brought about a folk-country meeting of the minds\, and ever since then\, with a series of albums that now numbers 18\, she has continued to explore own heritage musically\; in Native American communities she has remained a legendary figure. Buffy Sainte-Marie helped to found Canada’s Music of Aboriginal Canada JUNO category\, raised a son\, earned a Ph.D. in Fine Arts\, taught Digital Music as adjunct professor at several colleges\, and won an Academy Award Oscar and a Golden Globe Award for the song \"Up Where We Belong.\" Her blazing Saturday-night set in 2015 was one of the highlights of recent Ann Arbor Folk Festivals.
